LMDZ

Overview

The Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique Zoom (LMDZ) model is a global atmospheric model developed by the Institut Pierre-Simon Laplace (IPSL) in France. It serves as the atmospheric component of the IPSL Integrated Climate Model.

The DART interface to LMDZ was primarily developed by Tarkeshwar Singh while he was at the Indian Institute of Technology at Delhi. He later moved to the Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center in Bergen, Norway. A detailed description of the LMDZ DART implementation is published in Singh et al. (2015). [1]

Please email Tarkeshwar for documentation beyond what is contained within the repository.

Assimilation with LMDZ is supported in the Lanai release of DART. If you are interested in using LMDZ in the Manhattan version of DART, we encourage you to contact us. We would like to participate!
