JULES (the Joint UK Land Environment Simulator) is a community land surface model that is used both as a standalone model and as the land surface component in the Met Office Unified Model. JULES is a core component of both the Met Office's modelling infrastructure and NERC's Earth System Modelling Strategy. JULES is a major part of the UK's contribution to global model inter-comparison projects (e.g., CMIP6) and is placed firmly at the cutting edge of international land surface modelling because of continual science development and improved accessibility.
Further details about how JULES works can be found in the JCHMR overview document.
For releases since version 8.0, please see the current Jules documentation. For version 7.9 and earlier, please see the legacy Jules documentation
