| Abstract: | Summary ?An overview of the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) is presented. We focus on new developments in the RAMS physics
and computational algorithms since 1992. We also summarize some of the recent applications of RAMS that includes synoptic-scale
weather systems and climate studies, to small-scale research using RAMS configured as a large eddy simulation model or to
even flow around urban buildings. The applications include basic research on clouds, cloud systems, and storms, examination
of interactions between tropical deep convective systems and ocean circulations, simulations of tropical cyclones, extreme
precipitation estimation, regional climatic studies of the interactions between the atmosphere and the biosphere or snow-covered
land-surfaces, prototype realtime mesoscale numerical weather prediction, air pollution applications, and airflow around buildings.
