Summary Spherical Coordinate Remapping and Interpolation Package
SCRIP is a software package which computes addresses and weights for remapping and interpolating fields between grids in spherical coordinates. It was written originally for remapping fields to other grids in a coupled climate model, but is sufficiently general that it can be used in other applications ... as well. The package should work for any grid on the surface of a sphere. SCRIP currently supports four remapping options:
Conservative remapping First- and second-order conservative remapping as described in Jones (1999, Monthly Weather Review, 127, 2204-2210).
Bilinear interpolation Slightly generalized to use a local bilinear approximation (only logically-rectangular grids).

Description:
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.

Description:
"PRogramme for Integrated earth System Modelling" is a pilot infrastructure
project for the establishment of a climate research network. The workplan
foresees (i) the creation of a European management structure for developing,
coordinating and executing a long-term programme of European-wide,
multi-institutional climate simulations; (ii) the development of a set of
portable climate community models and associated diagnostic software under
standardized coding conventions that can be accessed by all European
scientists; (iii) the execution of a first suite of joint simulations.
PRISM will greatly enhance the efficiency of earth system modeling in Europe
and it will pave the way for the establishment of a European Climate Computing
Facility. The expected product will be a flexible, efficient, portable, and
user friendly community infrastructure for earth system Modeling and climate
prediction.
