The most recent version of the 3-D assimilation code is written by Boris Khattatov and Jean-Francois Lamarque of NCAR, ACD. This work has been funded by NASA through UARS Guest Invetigator Program, MOPITT, and EOS Interdisciplinary Science Programs and by NCAR through National Science Federation. While it is our intention to make the code available to anyone in the atmospheric sciences community, we ask all potential users to properly acknowledge our efforts as well as support of the abovementioned oganizations should results of research involving this code are publicly reported or published. We also ask everyone interested in downloading the code to provide us with the address, affiliation and a brief description of their planned research.
As usual with research codes, we can change it from time to time and there can be bugs we are not aware of. If you think you found a bug, please let us know.
