Click on the name of any model configuration for more details.
The IPSL climate modeling suite offers various configurations described in the mod.def file in modipsl/util. Each configuration consists of one or several model components (including the OASIS coupler) and tools. Tools are, for example, libIGCM, XIOS or IOIPSL. The supported configurations use specific versions of each model component. It is however possible to change the version of a model components and the version of the tools. To do so, you must change mod.def.
The supported configurations are maintained and updated by the working groups at the IPSL Climate Modeling Center. See the supported configurations below and click on the links for details.
LMDZOR: forced configuration with the atmosphere LMDZ and land surface ORCHIDEE. 2 versions are currently maintained:
LMDZORINCA_v5: the atmosphere-land version of IPSLCM5 including tropospheric chemistry
LMDZREPR_v5: the atmosphere-land version of IPSLCM5 including stratospheric chemistry
IPSLCM5CHT_v5: reference coupled model including tropospheric chemistry
IPSLCM5CHS_v5: reference coupled model including stratospheric chemistry
NEMO: ocean-only version including sea ice and marine biogeochemistry
ORCHIDEE_OL: offline configurations with the land surface model ORCHIDEE. 3 differents version are available:
