Earth system models are important research tools for improving understanding of the climate system and for simulating climate projections. This chapter is devoted to the basic construction principles and challenges of such models, whereas application examples are provided in companion chapters. Since they still do not incorporate the full complexity of the real climate system (and maybe never will), Earth system models nowadays typically focus on specific aspects, for instance on the role of chemically active substances in the climate system.
