Extended Core Components
- 18 June 2024
Our extendend core components cover models for a comprehensive mapping of the Earth System and its interactions (e.g., atmospheric chemistry, ocean biogeochemistry, land ice, socioeconomics). While not required by the majority of users, these components offer flexibility for specific research questions. Our current extended core components include a tool that adds the capability to simulate aerosols and reactive trace gases to our core components (ICON-ART). It is the responsibility of natESM to seamlessly integrate these extended core components into the natESM system.
Welcome to the natESM system
- 12 July 2023
The aim of natESM is to develop a comprehensive Earth system modeling framework that operates seamlessly across multiple scales. It is built upon national model components and is intended for use in various domains, including research, operational applications, training, and education. The modeling system leverages German expertise while remaining open to international contributions, with an emphasis on minimizing dependencies. See more in our White Paper
This undertaking is intricate and multifaceted, necessitating the representation of a wide array of processes, interactions, temporal and spatial scales, and both existing and missing model components and parameterizations. This encompasses tasks such as simulation, data assimilation, and diagnostic workflows. The only way to address these demands effectively is through a dynamic model system, which can provide a comprehensive overview of the complexities inherent in this modeling system.
