SIREAM and MAM

SIREAM and MAM are two aerosol models developed at CEREA. SIREAM is a SIze REsolved Aerosol Module, based on a sectional description of the aerosol distribution. MAM is a Modal Aerosol Module. Both models are based on the same parameterizations.


SIREAM is included in Polyphemus 1.1 and higher as an aerosol module and MAM will be included in the future. Both can be used independently of Polyphemus.
