MPTRAC - Massive-Parallel Trajectory Calculations

Lars Hoffmann

Massive-Parallel Trajectory Calculations (MPTRAC) is a La-grangian particle dispersion model for the analysis of atmospheric transport processes in the free troposphere and stratosphere.

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

YAC - Yet Another Coupler

Panagiotis Adamidis

Couplers allow the data exchange – e.g. of energy, momentum, water and important trace gases such as carbon dioxide – between the Earth system model components for ocean, atmosphere and land, and are essential for representing the climate system’s complex processes and feedbacks in the models.

ComIn - Community Interface

Florian Prill

The Community Interface (ComIn) organizes the data exchange and simulation events between the ICON model and “3rd party modules”. The concept can be logically divided into an Adapter Library and a Callback Register.

Atmosphere

ICON-A: Roland Potthast

For the representation of the atmosphere, ICON includes a non-hydrostatic dynamical core operating on a icosahedral-triangular Arakawa C grid. Physics parameterizations for radiation, cloud microphysics (1- or 2-moment) and turbulence are always used, while orographic drag, subgrid cloud cover, and deep and shallow convection are parameterized or not depending on the configuration.

Infrastructure

Hendryk Bockelmann

Tools and software libraries are regarded as infrastructure components in natESM, which are distributed independently but only show their full benefit in combination with climate models or climate data. These include, for example, libraries for improved MPI communication on HPC systems, I/O libraries, coupler, analysis tools or orchestration approaches for model runs.
