MUSICA development is driven by a need to unify chemistry modeling in the context of the earth system.  It supports atmospheric domains and resolutions running from point models to global models, but provides a user and developer interface in support of the National Earth System Capability.

Additional background on the goals for MUSICA are available on the MUSICA website.

It provides a user interface and development interface that is consistent across the domains and resolutions.  It provides a user-friendly and flexible user interface.  It provides traceable results.
