Kinetic PreProcessor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

KPP - the Kinetic PreProcessor. A software tool, which converts set of native chemical equation to mathematical form and then program it as FORTRAN 77, Fortran 90, C, or Matlab code. Used to create chemical models, for example in atmospheric chemistry.

[edit] Models using the KPP

• MECCA - Module Efficiently Calculating the Chemistry of the Atmosphere
• BASCOE/BACH - BIRA Atmospheric CHemistry module
• RACM - Regional Atmospheric Chemistry Mechanism gas-phase chemistry mechanism
• WRF - Weather Research & Forecasting Model
