About GLOMAP
GLOMAP is a global chemical transport model that simulates the evolution of size and composition resolved aerosols, including their interaction with trace gases and clouds.
The primary objective of GLOMAP is to improve our understanding of aerosol processes in the atmosphere. Ultimately, our models will help to better constrain the effect of aerosol on climate. But we are also interested in exploring the fundamental processes that control aerosol properties in all parts of the atmosphere.
There are two GLOMAP flavours. GLOMAP-bin is a comprehensive sectional (bin) model and GLOMAP-mode is a faster modal version. Both models run in the TOMCAT chemical transport model, but GLOMAP-mode will also be used in the UK Chemistry and Aerosol (UKCA) community climate model. See FAQs to compare the modal and bin versions.GLOMAP FAQs
