echam6.1.0-ham2.1-moz0.8

First release of ECHAM-HAMMOZ (echam6.1.0-ham2.1-moz0.8).

This version is now obsolete! You may consider the current release.

Disclaimer

The ECHAM-HAMMOZ model has been tested, tuned, and carefully evaluated for a limited number of configurations and parameter settings (see Release default settings (registered members only)). While the results are by no means perfect, we claim that ECHAM-HAMMOZ represents the state-of-the-art in tropospheric aerosol modeling. There is no guarantee that the model will produce 'reasonable' results when the configuration, the namelist parameters, or the model code is altered. However, the gas-phase chemistry part (MOZ) as provided in this release echam6.1.0-ham2.1-moz0.8 is not fit for scientific use yet. We strongly urge users to contact the ECHAM-HAMMOZ developers when you are planning to perform large sets of model simulations and want to change the configuration or parameters of the model. Furthermore, we refer to the ECHAM-HAMMOZ licence agreement for a disclaimer of legal responsibility and liability resulting from the use of the ECHAM-HAMMOZ model.

Release default settings

The default settings are reflecting a climatologic experiment (present-day conditions), at resolution T63L31GR15 with prescribed secondary organic aerosols. Aerosol emissions are those from AEROCOM_II ACCMIP.

The full list of runtime parameters as well as the list of input files can be found in the two reference experiments:

Default setups are also provided in the model distribution (see Getting started (registered members only)).

Getting started

Please read Getting started (registered members only) in order to know how to download the model, build it, and create the appropriate runscripts.
