MPTRAC
Massive-Parallel Trajectory Calculations (MPTRAC) is a Lagrangian particle dispersion model for the analysis of atmospheric transport processes in the free troposphere and stratosphere.
The Juelich Rapid Spectral Simulation Code (JURASSIC) is a fast infrared radiative transfer model for the analysis of atmospheric remote sensing measurements.
Information for new users and developers is available from the JURASSIC GitHub repository.
These are the main references for citing the JURASSIC model in scientific publications:
