JULES (Joint UK Land Environment Simulator) is a land surface model used primarily in climate and environmental research. It simulates the interactions between the land surface and the atmosphere, focusing on processes such as vegetation dynamics, carbon and water cycles, and energy exchanges. JULES can be coupled with climate models to assess how land surface changes affect weather patterns and climate, making it a valuable tool for studying climate change, land use, and ecosystem responses.
