Other models running at the same time describe energy, moisture and momentum fluxes from the underlying land or water surfaces.  These are:

• the land-surface model (HTESSEL).  
• the lakes and coastal waters model (FLake).  This also provides information on water temperature changes and the development and decay of areas of ice.  The forecasts of ice cover impact upon heat flux and albedo.
• the Wave Model (ECWAM).
• the Dynamic Ocean Model (NEMO), and subprogram (SI3) which provides information on the development, decay and movement of areas of sea-ice.  The forecasts of ice cover impact upon heat flux and albedo.

NEMO is run at 1/4 degree resolution and with 75 layers in all configurations, and at the time of the illustration the processing technique was non-optimised.
