Software Tools

This page provides links to several self-contained, downloadable software products and tools which have been developed by GISS personnel, either for specific research purposes or for more general analytic use.

Climate Modeling

GISS GCM - Model E

FORTRAN 90 source and documentation for the GISS ModelE series of coupled atmosphere-ocean models. These models have been used for our contribution to the CMIP3 and CMIP5 archives of model simulation results.

GISS GCM - Model II

FORTRAN source and documentation for the 1980s version of the GISS global climate model, used in the original NASA GISS global warming simulations described in Hansen et al. 1988. The code is maintained and distributed by the Columbia University EdGCM project.
