The current incarnation of the GISS series of coupled atmosphere-ocean models is now available. Called ModelE, it provides the ability to simulate many different configurations of Earth System Models - including interactive atmospheric chemsitry, aerosols, carbon cycle and other tracers, as well as the standard atmosphere, ocean, sea ice and land surface components.
