MELODIES (Model EvaLuation using Observations, DIagnostics and Experiments Software) is a modular framework to compare model results and observations of atmospheric chemistry. The MELODIES framework will facilitate identifying short-comings and uncertainties in models, help assess new model developments, and identify where and what type of new observations are needed to improve our understanding of atmospheric composition and processes.
