Introduction

ECHAM-HAMMOZ is a global aerosol-chemistry-climate model system that is jointly developed by several institutes in Europe. It is designed to simulate the life cycle and climate impact of short-lived atmospheric constituents (trace gases and aerosols). The model system includes the global atmospheric model ECHAM5/6, the aerosol model HAM, and the atmospheric chemistry model MOZART. A flexible sub-model interface has been developed recently to couple various sub-models with the host atmospheric model ECHAM6.
