The DART software provides a flexible, extensible framework for conducting
data assimilation research on a wide variety of models and observations.

- Atmospheric Science community are generally written in F90), the DART
- software is written primarily in F90. The noteable exceptions are the

+We avoid compiler-specific constructs,
+require no system-specific functions,

+DART has been compiled and run on Apple laptops and workstations,
