Available models

The models listed below are currently available to the scientific community. This list comprises single models, as for example ECHAM5 or MPIOM, and the coupled  Earth system model packaged in the COSMOS framework. The COSMOS framework includes different model codes, a coupling software and scripts in a PRISM structure. Scripts allow to extract and run specific models, including for example ECHAM5, MPIOM, or ECHAM5/MPIOM with or withou the carbon cycle. The future development aims at the integration of all single model configurations listed below in the COSMOS ESM package. For practical reasons the single models, which do not make use of the PRISM coupler, will be available still for some time. 

Single models

COSMOS software package
The COSMOS-1.2.1.1 package includes model codes of ECHAM5, ECHAM5J, MPIOM, and HAMOCC, and  the OASIS coupler. In addition it includes the Standard Compiling Environment and Standard Running Environment. Using standardized scripts, a user can compile and run for example ECHAM5, MPIOM, or ECHAM5-JSBACH/MPIOM-HAMOCC. The model system has been tested on the Tornado Linux cluster of MPI-M and DKRZ and the IBM Power6 high performance computer of DKRZ.
