MIR stands for Meteorological Interpolation and Regridding and is a library of routines for interpolation and regridding of meteorological fields. This new piece of software is replacing the veteran EMOSLIB when it comes to perform those operations in MARS. Beyond this, MIR’s flexible design facilitates scalability improvements and additional features. These include efficiency gains, a high degree of user configurability, and support for a wider range of grids than in the current package. See the related article in the ECMWF newsletter no.152 for a more complete description of this new library.
