I thought that's what "legacy weather simulation code" was!
Yeah it's for simulating how many neutrons are going to be in the air.
And what fraction of electromagnetic waves and particles are going to absorbed by those neutrons and other things in the air.
Pretty much weather!

Yes, I think that's what the paper is saying. The validation is the hard part, but the part that provides the value, because it's what makes the result actually useful.
