Extended Core Components

Iris Ehlert

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.

ICON-ART: Corinna Hoose and Ali Hoshyaripour

Aerosol and Reactive Trace gases (ART) is a component of the ICON modeling framework that enables explicit treatment of atmospheric composition and its interactions with clouds and radiation. ART encompasses emission, transport and removal processes of trace gases and aerosols in the troposphere and stratosphere along with their transformations due to chemistry and aerosol microphysics.
