Parallel Adaptive Blocks on a Sphere

We have developed a flexible tool for efficient parallel adaptive mesh refinement on a sphere. Adaptive mesh refinement allows one to concentrate computational resources on regions of interest, and by extending to spheres we have extended their applicability to climatology and other large scale planetary phenomena. The system is effective for our space weather application and as a general purpose object-oriented tool.
