- Component Process Models are models that are part of the Earth System component, including Atmosphere, Ocean, Land Surface Processes, Hydrology,
Snow/Ice, Biospheric (vegetation, ocean biology) Chemistry, and Radiation.
These can be grouped together by a specific process type such as Cloud and Precipitation Dynamics, Cloud-radiation feedback (Cloud-aerosol interaction,
Atmospheric-land surface coupling, atmosphere-ocean surface coupling, ocean-ice coupling/interaction), land hydrology (run-off models), Transport models (e.g.
Pollution, Trace constituents) and others.
