Overview COSMO-CLM
The development of the COSMO model has ended in 2021. COSMO 6.0 was released on 15 December 2021 and was the last release of the COSMO model. The model can still be used, but is not further developed nor maintained anymore. We recommend to switch to ICON-CLM for regional climate model applications.
The COSMO model in CLimate Mode (COSMO-CLM) is a nonhydrostatic regional climate model based on the Local Model (LM) of the Deutscher Wetterdienst and its succesor, the COSMO model. The LM has been developed by the German Weather Service (DWD) for operational weather forecast. It was used and further developed by several other weather services organized in the COnsortium for Small-scale MOdelling (COSMO ) and is called COSMO model.
COSMO-CLM was developed and maintained by the CLM-Community. Since 2005, COSMO-CLM is the Community-Model of the German Climate Research Community. The model has been used for simulations on time scales up to centuries and spatial resolutions between 1 and 50 km. CLM-Community members can use the starter package for COSMO-CLM as runtime environment for their experiments. The package contains everything that is necessary to run a simulation with COSMO-CLM.
