Historically, JSBACH grew out of ECHAM5 by collecting all land processes into a separate land component – then called JSBACH – accessed from ECHAM each time step via a single subroutine call. Accordingly, JSBACH inherits all the land processes originally present in ECHAM5, in particular the way the surface energy balance is solved, and how the land processes are coupled to the atmosphere.
