Gerris is designed for variations of Navier-Stokes flow.  That generally
means incompressible fluid, e.g. water, however it also allows for
variable density.

So in a meteorological context it could be useful for modelling ocean
currents.  I'm less certain about atmospheric modelling,  but there are
examples of air flow so perhaps it can.

Have a look at the examples at
