Description#
CLaMS (Chemical Lagrangian Model of the Stratosphere) is a modular chemistry transport model (CTM) system developed at Research Centre Jülich, Germany. CLaMS was first described by McKenna et al (2000a,b) and was expanded into three dimensions by Konopka et al (2004). CLaMS has been employed in various European aircraft field campaigns including THE-SEO, EUPLEX, TROCCINOX, SCOUT-O3, RECONCILE and STRATOCLIM, PHILEAS with a focus on simulating ozone depletion and water vapour transport. Major strengths of CLaMS in comparison to other CTMs are
its low diffusive Lagrangian transport scheme with the ability to reproduce small-scale structures and gradients of trace species
its applicability for reverse domain filling studies
its anisotropic mixing scheme
its integrability with arbitrary observational
its comprehensive chemistry scheme
The model has already successfully completed a sprint as part of the natESM project. Findings and solutions from the sprint can be found in the documentation.
