The global chemistry climate model ECHAM6-HAMMOZ

Atmospheric composition of short-lived gases and aerosols is an important component of the global climate system. Complex processes from emissions, transport, and chemical reactions to heterogeneous loss processes and radiation interactions need to be implemented in climate models to reach an adequate understanding of the role of short-lived climate forcers on the climate system and to allow the assessment of climate impacts on the regional scale. With ECHAM6-HAMMOZ we have developed a comprehensive model of tropospheric and stratospheric aerosols and gas-phase chemistry which is now running successfully on the Jülich supercomputer JURECA.
