Welcome to the Meso-NH / Toy coupling’s documentation

This documentation is intended for Meso-NH users who are interested to learn how to couple it with a toy model using the OASIS coupler.

Note

This documentation is subject to change, so don’t hesitate to send me your improvements, corrections, etc …
