LPJmL - Lund-Potsdam-Jena managed Land
- 12 February 2026
LPJmL is a global dynamic vegetation, hydrology, and carbon–nitrogen biogeochemistry model for gridded land-surface simulations (run offline or coupled to climate models). It simulates photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, surface energy balance, vegetation dynamics and competition, phenology, carbon allocation, soil organic matter turnover, and river discharge. Land use and management processes—cropland, pasture, irrigation, and harvest—are explicitly represented. Nutrient limitations and nitrogen cycling influence productivity, carbon storage, and greenhouse gas fluxes. Recent extensions include process-based methane dynamics, linking wetland and rice hydrology to vertically resolved CH₄ production, oxidation, and transport (diffusion, ebullition, and plant-mediated), yielding consistent CH₄, CO₂, N, and water budgets.
CLaMS - Chemical Lagrangian Model of the Stratosphere
- 10 June 2024
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
