Gerneral Circulation Models Planet Simulator (PlaSim) and PUMA
|
|
|
|
This repository has all necessary components to run the models.
|
|
|
|
These models are research models used in Meteorology and Earth Sciences.
|
|
You need knowledge in Meteorology and skills in Linux, C and FORTRAN
|
|
for running the models and interpreting the results.
|
|
|
|
Please start reading the manuals located in:
|
|
|
|
puma/doc for the PUMA model
|
|
plasim/doc for the Planet Simulator
|
|
|
|
Then have a look at the README file for configuration and setup.

|
|
|
|
This version of PlaSim has been modified to include additional modules
|
|
used for simulating climate on geological timescales. This includes a
|
|
carbon-silicate weathering model (continents only at this point) and
|
|
a glacier model. The glacier model is currently very rudimentary and exists
|
|
only to include the effects of ice sheet elevation, and lacks crucial
|
|
physics such as spreading, flow, and bedrock denudation.
|
|
|
|
The framework for the glacial model may be adapted in the future to enable
|
|
orogeny, such as might be expected from a coupled plate-tectonics model. |
