Terms & Conditions

The Climate Limited-area Modelling Community is a network of scientists who accepted the CLM-Community Agreement in all of its details. The agreement regulates the cooperation of the members, in particular the joint application and further development of the COSMO-CLM and ICON-CLM model systems.

The CLM-Community rules of internal procedure describe the bodies of the CLM-Community more comprehensively.

Members are expected to follow the rules of good scientific practice as formulated by the German Science Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG).

The "COSMO Standards for Source Code Development" form the basis for programming the model extensions in the COSMO-CLM and INT2LM. Guidelines for the development of ICON-CLM are in preparation.
