MESSy – Modular Earth Submodel System

MESSy is …

a software framework that combines components, which are numerical representations of our Earth system. Examples of components are atmosphere, land and ocean models, and more.

The unique feature of MESSy is a modular structure that facilitates continuous development and flexible model configurations. The concept has been established by a consortium of institutions with leading expertise in Earth System Modelling and the framework is continually further developed.

MESSy is supported by the German Climate Computing Center (DKRZ), Leibnitz Rechenzentrum (LRZ), the Max Planck Computing and Data Facility (MPCDF), the Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC), and the terrabyte cooperation between DLR and LRZ.

  • New publication in Nature Communications

    The publication “Variation of lightning-ignited wildfire patterns under climate change” by Francisco J. Pérez-Invernón et al. is now available as open access in Nature Communications. For this study, a recentlydeveloped Long-Continuing-Current (LCC) lightning parameterization has been included in the EMAC model to simulate the sensitivity of lightning and LCC lightning to global change. Globally, a…

  • New publication on the simulation of isoprene and monoterpenes

    The publication “Isoprene and monoterpene simulations using the chemistry–climate model EMAC (v2.55) with interactive vegetation from LPJ-GUESS (v4.0)” of Vella et al. is now available in the EGU open access journal “Geoscientific Model Development”. Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) are released by vegetation and have a major impact on atmospheric chemistry and aerosol formation. Non-interacting…
