Incorporated models or components:

Spatial dimensions	3D
Spatial extent	Global
Model domain	Climate
One-line model description	Parallel Spectral Transform Shallow Water Model
Extended model description	PSTSWM is a message-passing benchmark code and parallel algorithm testbed that solves the nonlinear shallow water equations on a rotating sphere using the spectral transform method. It is a parallel implementation of STSWM to generate reference solutions for the shallow water test cases.
