A parallel adaptive model (PLASMA) is presented which describes a barotropic atmosphere through the spherical shallow-water equations. The computational grid is adapted at each time-step, reducing the number of grid points with a moderate increase of error with respect to the uniform grid case. A Lagrange-Galerkin method is used to discretize the fluid equations. The simulations show satisfactory agreement when compared with known analytic solutions.
