UCLA Earth System Model

The current Earth System Model (ESM) comprises four models representing the coupled dynamics, physics and chemistry of the global atmosphere and world oceans: 1) an atmospheric general circulation model (UCLA AGCM), 2) an oceanic general circulation model (Parallel Ocean Model: POP), 3) an atmospheric chemistry and transport model (UCLA ACTM), and 4) a JPL Ocean Chemical Transport Model (OCTM). Data exchanges are carried out through a novel Distributed Data Broker (DDB).
