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.
