CLEO - Clouds made Lagrangian, exascale and open-source

Clara Bayley

Cloud microphysics remains an integral and under-represented element of the climate system. Not only does this limit our understanding of clouds themselves, but also causes some of the largest uncertainties in climate modelling as a whole. CLEO is a SDM with collisional breakup for warm rain aiming to be computationally feasible in O(100km) LES.

Atmospheric chemistry and aerosols

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.

CLaMS - Chemical Lagrangian Model of the Stratosphere

Felix Plöger

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

Optional components

The following table lists, in alphabetical order, all models that have been presented by the corresponding institutions during past natESM events.

The fact that we have listed the models here does not imply that the models or parts of them will be part of the future natESM system.
