LMDZ-SACS documentation

LMDZ-SACS is a global chemistry transport model.

This is the documentation of the LMDZ-SACS model itself. While the content of the documentation explains how the model works internallly, understanding it is not necessary to use LMDZ-SACS with CIF, as CIF provides a more user-friendly interface.

Note

This documentation refer to the version of LMDZ-SACS embeded in CIF. Sources for this version can be found under model_sources/dispersion/
