Software developments
The Joint Lab ExaESM contributes to software developments of widely used community codes relevant for the ESM community.
Community codes
FESOM2 (Finite-Element/volumE Sea ice-Ocean Model) is a multi-resolution sea ice-ocean model that solves the equations of motion on unstructured meshes. The model is developed and supported by researchers at the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI), in Bremerhaven, Germany.
The ICON modelling framework is a joint project between the German Weather Service and the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology for developing a unified next-generation global numerical weather prediction and climate modelling system. The ICON model has been introduced into DWD’s operational forecast system in January 2015.
The Modular Earth Submodel System (MESSy) is a software providing a framework for a standardized, bottom-up implementation of Earth System Models (or parts of those) with flexible complexity.
ParFlow is a numerical model that simulates the hydrologic cycle from the bedrock to the top of the plant canopy.
Open-source codes
The Juelich Rapid Spectral Simulation Code (JURASSIC) is a fast infrared radiative transfer model for the analysis of atmospheric remote sensing measurements.
Massive-Parallel Trajectory Calculations (MPTRAC) is a Lagrangian particle dispersion model for the analysis of atmospheric transport processes in the free troposphere and stratosphere.
The Simulation Environment for Geomorphology, Hydrodynamics and Ecohydrology in Integrated form (SERGHEI) is a multi-dimensional, multi-domain and multi-physics model framework for environmental and landscape simulation, de-
signed with an outlook towards Earth System Modelling.
t8code (spoken as „tetcode“) is a C/C++ library to manage parallel adaptive meshes with various element types.
