| List of Tabs |
| Long Name | Earth System CoG |
| Description | CoG is a multi-institutional project that seeks to examine, within the Earth sciences, the organizational characteristics of community software projects and to recommend structures and processes for their efficient governance. It also seeks to develop software infrastructure that can facilitate that governance. |
| Long Name | Earth System Modeling Framework |
| Description | The ESMF (Earth System Modeling Framework) is open source software for building climate, numerical weather prediction, data assimilation, and other Earth science software applications. These applications are computationally demanding and usually run on supercomputers. The ESMF project is distinguished by its strong emphasis on community governance and distributed development, and by a diverse customer base that includes modeling groups from universities, major U.S. research centers, the National Weather Service, the Department of Defense, and NASA. |
| Long Name | OpenClimateGIS |
| Description | The goal of OpenClimateGIS is to make climate model datasets readily available in commonly used, modern geospatial formats used by GIS software, browser-based mapping tools, and virtual globes. |
| Long Name | ESMF Python Interface |
| Description | ESMP is a prototype Python interface to the Earth System Modeling Framework (ESMF) regridding utility. ESMF is software for building and coupling weather, climate, and related models. ESMF has a robust, parallel and scalable remapping package, used to generate remapping weights. It can handle a wide variety of grids and options: logically rectangular grids and unstructured meshes; regional or global grids; 2D or 3D; and pole and masking options. |
| Long Name | National Unified Operational Prediction Capability |
| Description | The National Unified Operational Prediction Capability (NUOPC) is a consortium of Navy, NOAA, and Air Force modelers and their research partners. It aims to advance the weather prediction modeling systems used by meteorologists, mission planners, and decision makers. NUOPC partners are working toward a common model architecture - a standard way or building models - in order to make it easier to collaboratively build modeling systems. To this end, they have developed a NUOPC Layer that defines conventions and templates for using the Earth System Modeling Framework (ESMF). The NUOPC Layer also includes a compliance checker that helps to guide users through implementation of compliant model components. |
| Long Name | Earth System Curator |
| Description | The Earth System Curator project focused on developing metadata and associated services in order to document Earth system simulations and models. Curator metadata and displays were used in the Dynamical Core Model Intercomparison Projects (DCMIPs) in 2008 and 2012, and were also used in the 5th Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5). |
| Long Name | Cupid |
| Description | The Cupid project is creating a software development and user training environment for climate models. There are two main activities. The first is the creation of an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) based on the Eclipse framework, work led by the Georgia Institute of Technology. The second is the componentization of GISS ModelE, a collaboration that includes staff from NOAA NESII, NASA GISS and NASA GSFC. Standard ESMF and NUOPC component interfaces will be prototyped. As the project proceeds, we plan to merge these lines of development, so that ModelE can be linked to the IDE. The resulting system should allow GISS modelers and new users to change, configure, and run the model more easily. |
