= About us=
The PALM model system has been mainly developed and is maintained by the [https://www.muk.uni-hannover.de/243.html?&L=1 PALM group] at the [http://www.muk.uni-hannover.de?&L=1 Institute of Meteorology and Climatology] (IMUK) of Leibniz Universität Hannover, Germany. A number of code parts have been contributed by partners in both Germany and Europe.
