Aerosol and Atmospheric Chemistry components
UKCA
The UK Chemistry-Aerosol model (UKCA) is a community atmospheric chemistry-aerosol global model developed in the United Kingdom. It is suitable for a range of topics in climate and environmental change research.
Model configurations that use UKCA
- ACCESS-CM2 (optional).
GLOMAP
UKCA contains the GLObal Model of Aerosol Processes (GLOMAP) aerosol scheme, that can also be used independently. The multi-component, multi-modal GLOMAP model allows simulation of aerosol number, size and concentrations of individual components such as sulphate, sea salt, and different types of carbon.
