About AeroCM¶
AeroCM is a package storing several climate models dedicated to aviation. It currently includes analytical (IPCC), metric-based (GWP*, LWE) and reduced-complexity (FaIR) models. The models have been standardised (species, species settings...) for allowing a generic use and comparisons. The models can be used in order to either directly assess the climate impacts induced by emission scenarios, or calculate aviation climate metrics (e.g. GWP, GTP, ATR).
This package is used in particular within AeroMAPS, an open-source framework for performing Multidisciplinary Assessment of Prospective Scenarios for air transport.
AeroCM is licensed under the GPL-3.0 license.
