{wiki=ECHAM}
ECHAM is a numerical weather prediction model used for simulating and forecasting weather and climate. It is based on the equations of fluid dynamics and thermodynamics governing the atmosphere. Developed by the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg, Germany, ECHAM is part of the wider family of global climate models (GCMs) and is specifically designed for atmospheric research. The name "ECHAM" stands for "Eulerian Climate and High-Resolution Atmospheric Model.
