EMAC submodels

At the IPA at JGU Mainz the following list of MESSy submodels have been developed and are maintained by H. Tost (in alphabetical order):

AEROPT - a submodel which determines the aerosol optical properties to be used in the radiation scheme

CAT - a submodel for clear air turbulence and associated tracer transport

CLOUD - a submodel for grid scale cloud calculations with various parameterisation options

CONVECT - a submodel for convection including several different convection parameterisations

CRM - a submodel for a cloud/convection superparameterisation

CVTRANS - a submodel for convective tracer transport (with links to scavenging)

GMXE - an aerosol submodel which comprises both aerosol microphysical and chemical processes in various degrees of complexity

LNOX - a submodel comprising different parametrisations for lightning

SATSIMS - a submodel for diagnostic calculations of satellite simulators

SCAV - a submodel for aqueous phase chemistry and scavenging of trace gases and aerosols

VEG - a submodel providing an interface to the LPJ/GUESS dynamic vegetation model
