Description: WACCM is NCAR's atmospheric high-altitude model; CARMA is Brian Toon's aerosol microphysical sectional model. I'm studying sulfate aerosols in the UTLS region using this coupled model. Technical information Supported platforms: UNIX, Mac OSX Programming language: Fortran77, Fortran90 Model development started at: 1982 and development still takes place.
