ROSE
====

.. attention::

   ``rose`` works with versions of DART *before* Manhattan (9.x.x) and has yet to be updated. If you are interested in
   using ``rose`` with more recent versions of DART, contact DAReS staff to assess the feasibility of an update.
   Until that time, you should consider this documentation as out-of-date.


Overview
--------

The rose model is an atmospheric model for the Mesosphere Lower-Thermosphere
(MLT). The DART interface was developed by Tomoko Matsuo (now at CU-Boulder).

The source code for rose is not distributed with DART, thus the
DART/models/rose/work/workshop_setup.csh script is SUPPOSED to fail without the
rose code.

The rose model is a research model that is still being developed. The DART
components here are simply to help the rose developers with the DART framework.

As of Mon Mar 22 17:23:20 MDT 2010 the rose project has been substantially
streamlined. There is no need for the trans_time and build_nml routines.
dart_to_model has assumed those responsibilities.
