For the The scientific documentation of the model please visit the COSMO model documentation on is available on the COSMO model home pagewebpage.
The COSMO-CLM is the climate mode of the COSMO model and the source codes of the individual model components are identical with the COSMO model sources for each main model version.This documentation covers the documentation of the COSMO model and the pre-processing program INT2LM as well as a User's Guide. It is updated regularly. However, it is never "up to date" since the documentation takes a lot of time. Recent developments are documented in COSMO Technical Reports and articles in the COSMO-Newsletters.

Documentation of the (independed) Model System Components
Direct coupled components
- TERRA (surface and soil model)
- FLake (a fresh-water lake model) is a COSMO_4 model component
- ART (Aerosols and Reactive Trace gases) is a COSMO_5 model component. The routines are available from FZK Karlsruhe, B.Vogel,
Component coupled through a standard coupler OASIS
- CLM (Community Land Model), is an independent SVAT with dynamical vegetation (it is an alternative to TERRA)
- Veg3D, is a SVAT (it is an alternative to TERRA)
- TRIMNP, NEMO, and ROMS are regional ocean models
- CICE is a sea ice model
- ECHAM is a global climate model (with OASIS a bi-directional nesting is possible)
