The day length was set to 6 hours (21600 s).

The solar constant was set to 1360 W/m 2.

In addition to land surface modifications, several changes to MPAS were made to enable more realistic simulations of Kerbin's atmosphere. In MPAS, terrain and biome data from KSP were used to classify land use, vegetation type, green fraction, etc. Fortunately, Kerbin’s atmosphere has the same chemical composition as Earth’s. MPAS was run for six-years (1st year: spin-up) at a resolution of 2 x 2 decimal degrees. Kerbin weather and climate analyses were produced using the Model for Prediction Across Scale (MPAS Skamarock et al., 2012). Note that since FAR overrides KSP's thermodynamic system, pressure and temperature data from KWP will not affect flight dynamics when FAR is installed. KWP is compatible with the aerodynamics overhaul: Ferram Aerospace Research ( FAR). KWP can still be used with these mods as KWP's override of the stock thermodynamic system can be disabled in the settings menu. That said, KWP may conflict with mods like real heat or deadly reentry that modify the stock game's aerodynamic or thermodynamic system. KWP has been tested, without issue, in a KSP 1.10 playthrough with 220 other popular KSP mods. KWP works with stock KSP and should work with the vast majority of KSP mods. This repository provides a wide array of balloons capable of lifting both sensors and Kerbals! Compatability If you'd like to emulate the collection of real-world weather data you can also select KerBalloons in CKAN. Using CKAN select Kerbal Weather Project and click install! CKAN should automatically install the two dependencies of the mod: ToolbarController and ModularFlightIntegrator.

Unzip the repository and copy the KerbalWeatherProject folder to your KSP home directory (i.e.

Download and install ModularFlightIntegrator.

Download and install Toolbar Controller.

Atmospheric Autopilot - makes takeoff/landing during windy conditions easier.

KerBalloons - Enables weather balloons!.

Kerbinside Remastered - adds launch sites compataible with KWP and missions for flying around Kerbin.

As of version 1.0.2 KWP now includes an API for modders.

Mation about KWP is available at the mod webpage and on the KSP forum add-on release page.

In KWP, weather and climate data from a global circulation model ( MPAS) were incorporated into KSP gameplay through a C# plugin. To remedy this, Kerbal weather Project (KWP) was developed. While the game simulates atmospheres with variable depths and densities it lacks dynamic weather limiting its utility as tool for exploring atmospheric science concepts. Kerbal Space Program (KSP) is a popular space-flight simulation video game that has been used as a creative sandbox to promote and teach STEM concepts (Manley, 2016).
