We start the more formal description of adaptive atmospheric modeling methods with an introduction to mesh generation. In contrast to non-adaptive methods, where a fixed grid is given, in adaptive methods, the grid generating parts of a modeling software play a fundamental role. While in fixed grid applications, the software design is often derived from a computational stencil, in adaptive methods, the grid management forms the underlying basis for other derived data structures. We will discuss efficient data structures later in chap. 4 and will concentrate only on grid generation issues here.
