The QUEST Earth System Model
This NERC-funded project represents an unprecedented attempt to simulate the direction and strength of a wide range of biogeochemical processes and feedbacks affecting the functioning of the Earth system under contemporary and likely future climate scenarios. The QESM will include chemistry-ecosystem-climate interactions and will have new modules for ocean-biosphere and land-biosphere processes, as well as for atmospheric chemistry and aerosol processes including their interaction with the biosphere.
Leeds is developing the aerosol module for QESM as an extension of the UKCA aerosol-chemistry-climate project.
