Scientific assessment. (UU)‌ The scientific assessment is carried out by critically reviewing the physical, mathematical and numerical basis of the model. This assessment can be undertaken using the information made available for this specific purpose (i.e. from the questionnaire created), from supplementary comments from the developer, from published literature if available, or from other appropriate sources. When the required information has been obtained, the scientific assessment can be completed. The findings from this assessment are summarised and presented in the MAR. The scientific assessment consists of a comprehensive description of the model, an assessment of the scientific content, the applicability domain, the limitations and advantages of the model, a description of any further features and also areas for possible improvement. The description is based on the documentation provided by the model developer and should include but is not be limited to, a description of the dominant underlying scientific processes and should also explicitly state the values of any empirical constants. All important phenomena within the model’s range of application should be included. The scientific content should address whether the mathematical modelling of important phenomena and any associated simplifications and parameterisations are well justified. This assessment should list the positive and negative aspects of the model and critically review the suitability (or not) of the model for the specific application (XXXXX 1996). To appropriately undertake the scientific assessment the reviewer must have an in-depth understanding of the behaviour of each of the physical phenomena under consideration. Ideally, the reviewer should also be independent of the model developer; however it is accepted that the developer may be required to properly perform the validation exercise. Additionally, it should be noted that, for the scientific assessment to most effectively meet its purpose it is preferable that models are addressed in a uniform manner wherever possible (Britter and Schatzmann 2007). To achieve this, a uniformly designed questionnaire may be the least resource demanding approach to undertake.

Scientific assessment. (UU)‌ This section of the MAR contains detailed information regarding the scientific basis of the model, along with a user-oriented assessment including: classification of the model, e.g. a zero- or one- dimensional integral model; specification of model inputs: source terms and method for accounting for environmental conditions; model physics and mathematical formulation; solution technique; model special features; and any future scientific developments being planned for inclusion in the model. Focusing on the user-oriented aspects of the model: what user-orientated documentation/on-screen help exists; installation procedure; description of the user interface; internal databases; guidance in selecting model options and inputs; error messages and checks on data validity; resources – computational costs; results and outputs available from the model (providing clarity and flexibility); suitability of users – background, experience, support, model integration; and any planned user- orientated developments and improvements.
