WRF Greenhouse Gas Model (WRF-GHG) based on WRF-Chem
WRF-GHG is now (since v.3.5) a module in the official WRF distribution, see the main webpage and the available code.
Here a short instruction: For download and installation follow the general WRF instructions from the user guide, newest version here.
Some info on using WRF-GHG is given in WRF-Chem user's guide from the website here.

STILT (Stochastic Time Inverted Lagrangian Transport)
STILT, the Stochastic Time-Inverted Lagrangian Transport model, is a Lagrangian particle dispersion model (LPDM) for atmospheric transport. Its primary purpose is to derive the upstream influence region on atmospheric measurement locations.
For download and installation see the main webpage at www.stilt-model.org.

OCN model
The dynamic global vegetation model OCN is a model of the coupled terrestrial carbon and nitrogen cycles (Zaehle and Friend, 2010; Zaehle et al., 2010, GBC), derived from the ORCHIDEE land-surface model (Krinner et al. 2005). It operates at an half-hourly time-scale and simulates diurnal net carbon exchanges and nitrogen trace gas emissions, as well as daily changes in leaf area index, foliar nitrogen and vegetation structure and growth. The main purpose of the model is to analyse the longer-term (interannual to decadal) implication of nutrient cycling for the modelling of land-climate interactions (Zaehle et al. 2010, GRL; Zaehle et al. 2011). The model is long-standing contributor to the TRENDY project.

QUINCY model
The QUINCY model (Thum, et al., 2019) is a terrestrial biosphere model tracking the flows of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus, as well as a number of isotopes for a number of pre-defined terrestrial ecosystem types at a half-hourly time-step. It is currently developed to run for individual sites driven by surface meteorology, but its intention is to be further developed to be coupled to a land-surface scheme of a global climate model. For this purpose, ongoing work includes the integration of the model into the Jena Scheme for Biosphere Atmosphere Coupling in Hamburg (JSBACH). JSBACH is the land surface model of the MPI Earth system model. It is jointly developed by the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology and Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry.
