Model Couplings

Coupling of Earth System and Integrated Assessment Models

There are several reasons to strengthen the cooperation between the Integrated Assessment (IAM) and Earth System (ESM) modeling teams in order to better understand the joint development of environmental and human systems. This cooperation can take many different forms, ranging from information exchange between research communities to fully coupled modeling approaches. Read more...

Land-Surface-Atmosphere Coupling in Observations and Models:

Improved data for integrated modeling of global environmental change

However, spatially explicit data on specific anthropogenic driving forces of global environmental change are still scarce—also because these cannot be collected with satellites or other devices. Read more...

PALM coupler

In particular, PALM has been adopted for a number of multiphysics simulations in computational fluid dynamics. To answer the requirements of the future multiphysics high performance simulations, PALM has integrated the CWIPI communication and interpolation library developed by ONERA. To make this and any future collaboration easier, PALM is currently distributed as an open source application under the LGPL v3 license, with the name O-PALM. Read more...
