 ===== Introduction =====
-A system like ENVI-met generates a huge amount of different data about many different aspects of the environmental system observed. It is impossible to assess and evaluate all these data in one. Moreover, a model is a model and the reality is the reality. There is a conceptual difference in both systems, hence a complex program cannot be "validated" against the reality, even this is often asked for.
+A system like ENVI-met generates a huge amount of different data about many different aspects of the environmental system observed. It is impossible to assess and evaluate all these data in one. Moreover, a model is a model and the reality is the reality. There is a conceptual difference between both systems, hence a complex program cannot be "validated" against the reality, even this is often asked for.
 Monitoring and measuring the "real" world is also subject to many pitfalls and uncertainties like the modelling work. Just because you have read the data from your measurement device does not mean that this is the “reality”. A different person with, maybe, a different device, coming just 2 minutes after you to a location considered as the same spot may read data more different to yours than the complete model will show in the complete domain.

 After these lines of warning and disclaiming, next you will find a list of research projects, studies, papers etc. which we think are representative for the behaviour of ENVI-met as it is today
