-MOSAIK is a [[http://www.bmbf.de|BMBF]] funded German-wide research project within the call "Stadtklima im Wandel" (urban climate under change, [[http://uc2-program.org|[UC]²]]) that aims at developing a new modern and highly-efficient UCM. The MOSAIK consortium consists of partners from entire Germany that have joined their forces to create a UCM of unprecedented spatial resolution and computational performance and which shall allows simulations of large cities of size of up to 2.000 km² with grid-resolved buildings.

 * 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.

 * Scale-dependent turbulence and building parameterizations to run with varying resolution from 1-100 m.
 * Graphical user interface for end users such as city planners, which allows to set up the model, implement planning scenarios, conduct simulations, and visualize the model output data.
