ESPC Common Model Architecture Earth System Modeling Framework (ESMF) Software and Application Development

Abstract

LONG-TERM GOALS - To expedite the development of numerical weather prediction (NWP) systems, the National Unified Operational Prediction Capability (NUOPC) was established between NOAA and Navy to develop a common software architecture for easy and efficient interoperability. The overarching goal of NUOPC is to accelerate the improvement in the U.S. National environmental prediction capability, focusing initially on the global model enterprise. Improvements in prediction capability are expected to result in better environmental situation awareness, severe weather warnings (hurricanes, tornadoes, snow storms), better cost avoidance for weather sensitive industries (agriculture, transportation, utilities, and defense), and better informed decision making for industry, defense and the general public. These goals will be achieved through model development under a common model architecture and other software-related standards in this project.
