Geoscientific Model Development

Aims & Scope

Geoscientific Model Development (GMD) is a not-for-profit international scientific journal dedicated to the publication and public discussion of the description, development, and evaluation of numerical models of the Earth system and its components.

The following manuscript types can be considered for peer-reviewed publication: -geoscientific model descriptions, from statistical models to box models to GCMs; -development and technical papers, describing developments such as new parameterizations or technical aspects of running models such as the reproducibility of results; -new methods for assessment of models, including work on developing new metrics for assessing model performance and novel ways of comparing model results with observational data; -papers describing new standard experiments for assessing model performance or novel ways of comparing model results with observational data; -model experiment descriptions, including experimental details and project protocols; -full evaluations of previously published models.
