It is a highly modular software package providing I/O interfaces for the Numerical Weather Prediction Community. CMEM's physics is based on the state-of-the-art parameterizations used in the L-Band Microwave Emission of the Biosphere (LMEB, Wigneron et al., 2007) and Land Surface Microwave Emission Model (LSMEM, Drusch et al., 2007)land surfaces. CMEM modularity allows considering different parameterizations of the soil dielectric constant as well as different soil approaches (either coherent of incoherent) and different effective temperature, roughness, vegetation, snow emission model configurations and atmospheric contribution opacity models.
