Model Documentation

Reference Guide, Validation Report and User Guide

LOTOS-EUROS v2.0 was reased in 2016-10 as research version  and an open-source version. The documentation for this version consists of a Reference guide, describing the model’s properties and parameterizations, a User Guide, describing how to run and modify the model, and a validation report.

Reports

Although much of the research we perform is done for clients and not always published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, most of the reports we produce are publicly available.
