9 3-dimensional dynamic Earth system models Applications: Simulating basic processes and changes in the entire Earth system. Ocean and land-surface carbon cycle Interactive aerosol module Interactive chemistry (mostly gas phase) Ice sheets Biology …

10 Navier-Stokes equation (Unit mass version of “Newton's second law) expressed in the accelerated coordinate system of the Earth Equation of state for ideal gases (i.e. no particle density included in ρ). The first equation of thermodynamics Continuity equation for dry air Continuity equation for various tracers including water vapour Governing dynamical equations for the atmosphere
