  Description     : A library for numerical weather prediction and climate modelling

Atlas is a ECMWF library for parallel data-structures supporting unstructured grids and function spaces, with the aim to investigate alternative more scalable dynamical core options for Earth System models, and to support modern interpolation and product generation software

Atlas is predominantly C++ code, with main features available to Fortran codes through a F2003 interface.

This is a recommended dependency of ECMWF code already present in Debian (metview, etc).
It will use the gridtools_storage and fckit libraries (being packaged seperately)
