The scientific documentation of the COSMO model is available on the COSMO webpage. The documentation includes the documentation of the COSMO model, the pre-processing program INT2LM and 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 in articles in the COSMO-Newsletters.

- TERRA (surface and soil model)
