The Climate Limited-area Modelling Community (CLM-Community) is an open international network of scientists working in the area of regional climate modelling and climate change. The members of the CLM-Community develop the regional climate models COSMO-CLM and ICON-CLM together, apply the models for a wide range of applications and collaborate in scientific projects. Together it is possible to achieve more than everybody could achieve alone. As an African saying goes:
"If you want to go fast, go alone.
If you want to go far, go together."
The CLM-Community agreement regulates the cooperation of the members, in particular the joint application and further development of the community models, and obligates the members to follow the rules of good scientific practice as formulated by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG).
All scientists working in the field of regional climate modelling and related areas are invited to join the community and contribute to the further development of the community models.
