HadCM3 stands for the Hadley Centre Coupled Model version 3. It was developed in 1999 and was the first unified model climate configuration not to require flux adjustments (artificial adjustments applied to climate model simulations to prevent them drifting into unrealistic climate states).  HadCM3 was one of the major models used in the IPCC Third and Fourth Assessments, and also contributes to the Fifth Assessment. Its good simulation of current climate without using flux adjustments was a major advance at the time it was developed and it still ranks highly compared to other models in this respect [Reichler and Kim, 2008]. It also has the capability to capture the time-dependent fingerprint of historical climate change in response to natural and anthropogenic forcings [Stott et al. 2000] which has made it a particularly useful tool in studies concerning the detection and attribution of past climate changes.  HadCM3 is also the climate configuration used in the following projects:  UK Climate Projections ( UKCP09) the operational decadal forecasting system (DePreSys) until 2012 the regional modelling system PRECIS Climateprediction.net The atmospheric component has 19 levels with a horizontal resolution of 2.5 degrees of latitude by 3.75 degrees of longitude, which produces a global grid of 96 x 73 grid cells.

One of the main changes in the HadGEM3 family of models compared with previous versions is the inclusion of the  NEMO ocean modelling framework, which is also used in the Met Office's ocean forecasting system, and CICE, the Los Alamos sea ice model. These are coupled to the atmospheric model through the  OASIS coupler developed at CERFACS in France.  The HadGEM3 family of climate configurations is currently under development. The GloSea5 seasonal forecasting system uses a member of this model family.  A range of atmospheric resolutions is available. There is a choice of vertical resolutions between 38 levels extending to ~40km height (of which 29 are below 18km), 63 levels extending to ~40km height (of which 50 are below 18km), and 85 levels extending to 85km in height (of which 50 are below 18km), the latter allowing improved representation of stratospheric processes. Horizontal resolutions vary between 2.5 degrees of latitude by 3.75 degrees of longitude and 0.556 degrees of latitude by 0.833 degrees of longitude, depending on the application.

Without the additional dispersion modules, Hysplit computes the advection of a single pollutant particle, or simply its trajectory. The dispersion of a pollutant is calculated by assuming either puff or particle dispersion. In the puff model, puffs expand until they exceed the size of the meteorological grid cell (either horizontally or vertically) and then split into several new puffs, each with it's share of the pollutant mass. In the particle model, a fixed number of particles are advected about the model domain by the mean wind field and spread by a turbulent component.
