Operation Equation

Our aim is to set up a model equation library. In this library, equations on different (ecological/physical/chemical) processes will be collected with references. We will integrate existing tools to facilitate the translation of the formulas into different programming languages.Our ultimate goals are manifold:

• Document the variety of process equations describing the same physical/biological/chemical process
• Make full diversity in process definitions (equations) usable and accessible for the largest number of people
• Compare model process definitions with each other
• Simplify the use of the diversity of process definitions within a complex model to assess structural uncertainty
• Facilitate the interaction between experimentalists and modellers (what are the parameters that we need, what are the parameters that are normally measured)

Currently we are solving the technical issues related to the library, deciding on vocabulary and what has to go into the library.You will find the library here: …address coming soon…You can contribute by adding more equations or by discussing with us on how to improve the library. Thank you!
