I am an atmospheric scientist trying to understand the interactions between turbulence, clouds, radiation and the land surface with 3D simulation and field observations (see chiel.ghost.io). The main tool of our research lab is MicroHH, our in-house C++/CUDA 3D simulation code. Recently, I have ported the dynamical core of MicroHH to Julia to make the code more accessible to students, as C++ is often too complex to learn for a short project, and have a tool for future SciML projects.
