Abstract:
The Earth System Modeling Framework (ESMF) collaboration, which consists of
Earth scientists and computational experts from major U.S. Earth modeling
centers, is developing a robust, flexible set of software tools to enhance ease
of use, performance portability, interoperability, and reuse in climate,
numerical weather prediction, and data assimilation applications. The ESMF
will allow diverse
... scientific groups to leverage common software to solve
routine computational problems such as efficient data communication, model
component coupling and sequencing, time management, and parameter
specification. In an open dialogue with the broader community, our
collaboration will also develop a software interface specification so that
groups working at different institutions and in different disciplines can
generate interoperable software components. http://www.earthsystemmodeling.org/
