Optimizing tracking of moisture in the atmosphere

WAM2layers is an atmospheric moisture tracking model. It can be used to determine where precipitation originally evaporated (backtracking), or where evaporated moisture eventually ends up (forward tracking). In this project, we aim to optimize the model such that it can be efficiently applied to state-of-the-art climate simulations. Moreover, we are seeking to make the code more flexible for application over specific regions or events, and with different input data.
