A single frame from an eight month sim- 

 ulation for the Pacific Northwest using 

 the Penn State/NCAR l\^esoscale 

 Meteorological (MM) model. The simu- 

 lation was executed on the Intel 

 Touchstone Delta at Caltech. MM 

 model results are used in high resolu- 

 tion regional forecasts, allowing more 

 efficient energy use and helping reduce 

 storm damage. Argonne National 

 Laboratory (ANL) and NSF-supported 

 NCAR researchers used fast fine- 

 grained massively parallel software and 

 PCN. a parallel programming language 

 developed at ANL and Caltech with sup- 

 port from the NSF Science and 

 Technology Center for Parallel 

 Computation.
