-MOSAIK-2 is a [[http://www.bmbf.de|BMBF]] funded German research project within the joint research project "Urban Climate Under Change" [[http://uc2-program.org|[UC]²]]) which aims to further develop the PALM-4U urban climate model and to establish it as an operational tool for communities and city planners. The MOSAIK-2 consortium consists of partners from entire Germany that have joined their forces to develop PALM-4U, an urban climate model of unprecedented spatial resolution and computational performance and which allows simulations of large cities of a size of up to 2.000 km² with grid-resolved buildings. The first funding period of MOSAIK was from 2016 to 2019. Since September 2019 the second phase has started and will involve further development of PALM-4U, which is fully integrated in the PALM model system.

 '''Some features of the PALM-4U components...'''
 * Magnifying lens function (zoom function) that allows planners to perform high-resolution studies for areas of interest of limited size (city quarters, single building environments).
-* Nesting to large scale models.
+* Nesting to large-scale models.
 * Large-eddy simulation mode, which allows to estimate turbulence induced fluctuations (e.g. peak concentrations or wind gusts) for the first time with a PALM-4U.
 * Scale-dependent turbulence and building parametrisations to run with varying resolution from 1-100 m.
