Frameworks

The CMI is a collaborator in the Earth System Modeling Framework (ESMF), which is building high-performance, flexible software infrastructure to increase ease of use, performance portability, interoperability, and reuse in climate, numerical weather prediction, data assimilation, and other Earth science applications.

The ESMF defines an architecture for composing multi-component applications and includes data structures and utilities for developing model components.  An overarching goal is to create a framework usable by individual researchers as well as major operational and research centers, and seek to engage the community in its development.
