created: 1998
The Consortium for Small-scale Modeling (COSMO) was formed in October 1998. It's general goal is to develop, improve and maintain a non-hydrostatic limited-area atmospheric model, to be used both for operational and for research applications by the members of the consortium.
Today, the consortium, has as members these national meteorological services (presented in date-of-join order) :
Additionally, these regional and military services within the member states are also participating:
The COSMO model is also used and developed by the CLM-Community (Climate Limited-area Modelling). The CLM community applies COSMO-CLM or CCLM, which is the COSMO model in CLimate Mode.
