Model Library

The aim of this tool is to create library of models in a 'stand alone' state with all necessary documentation, technical guides and metadata so that any competent programer unfamiliar with model, can perform integrated End-2-End numerical experiments necessary to assess how ecosystems are impacted by global change via drivers such as ocean circulation, ocean climate, ocean acidification, pollution, over fishing and invasive species.

The capabilities of the modelling tools in the Model Library are mapped onto the EU's Marine Strategy Framework Directive's descriptors for Good Environmental Status. Users can search for a modelling tool addressing specific descriptors in a geographic region of interest (below), or browse the technical content of the library (table at bottom of page).

Individual Model User Guides

Each user guide includes an introduction to the model, information on how to implement the model and either direct access to the code or details on how to obtain it.

Statement of Use: It is strongly recommended that you contact the originator of each document [details provided within] before using the information and code provided, so that additional support can be given as required.
