Outline § § § What is ESMF? Who is Using it? How is ESMF Transforming Earth System Modeling? Current Development Status Future Directions 2
What is ESMF? ESMF is a software library that consists of coupling tools and model utilities that increase modularity, interoperability, and performance of geoscience applications. 3
What models are using ESMF? Operational Version of the GFS Weather Forecasting Model GEOS-5 Atmospheric GCM HYCOM Ocean Model COAMPS Atmospheric Model CICE-HYCOM MIT GCM WRF Weather Forecasting Model ADCIRC Hydrodynamic model ADCIRC-WASH 123 GFDL FMS MOM 4 UCLA AGCM 58 components are currently using ESMF 4
What programs are using ESMF? NUOPC: National Unified Operational Prediction Capability Consortium (NOAA, Navy, Air Force Weather Agency) Image from NOAA rapid refresh (RR) model, a replacement model for the Rapid Update Cycle (RUC) model. Has announced intentions to base its next generation National Weather Prediction (NWP) system on ESMF BEI: Battlespace Environments Institute Developing integrated forecasting systems across Do. D. MAP: Modeling and Analysis Program Facilitating research and model use of NASA data 5
The Transformation of Earth System Modeling ESMF is changing: § § How models are structured How models are developed The scale of collaborations Governance strategies for developing community scientific software 6
How Models are Structured § Hierarchical component based architecture § Interchangeability § Easy replacement of component elements § Interoperability § Swapping component between applications § Coupling diverse applications 7
How Models are Developed § Large number of components available from across the community § Develop science components for a well-understood community architecture and interfaces § Technological advances are propagated quickly across many applications simultaneously 8
The Scale of Community Collaborations BEI: Battlespace Environment Institute NUOPC: National Unified Operational Prediction Capability CCSM: Community Climate System Model Collaborations across: § Operational centers (e. g CNMOC, COPC, FNMOC) § Research centers (e. g. GFDL, NCAR, NASA Goddard) § Universities (e. g. MIT, University of Hawaii) § Different domains (weather, climate, space weather, hydrology) WRF: Weather Research & Forecasting Model MAP: Modeling Analysis and Prediction Program 9
Governance strategies for developing community scientific software Shared governance model emphasizes: § Distributed, global development § Direct participation of users in setting development priorities § Multi-agency management § Incorporates open-source methodologies into scientific software development esmf_jst@ucar. edu has 300 subscribers who participate in ESMF development 10

Sparse Matrix Multiply Updated § User supplied weights § Facilitates the widest possible couplings § The methods have the following new features: § Improved performance and reduced memory usage § Support for distributed definition of factors § Support for user-supplied arbitrary sequence indices via 1 D Dist. Grid § Support for ESMF_TYPEKIND_I 4/I 8/R 4/R 8 § Default initialization of destination Array to zero (can be overridden) 14
New Structured Grids Image of HYPSE (Hydrostatic Padua Surface Elevation Model) Dept. of Physics, Univ. of Padua § Support 1 D, 2 D, 3 D and higher dimensions § Supports parallelization across any or all grid dimensions § Supports uniform, rectilinear and curvilinear grids 15
Near Future: Structured Grids § Multi-tile grids (e. g. cube-sphere) § More efficient memory use for non -curvilinear grids § Coordinate halo § A wide variety of different types of connections between tile edges § Automatic generation of topology and coordinates for common shapes (e. g. sphere) Image courtesy Steve Thomas and Rich Loft, NCAR 16
Near Future: General Regridding Curl of bilinear interpolant Exact curl Curl of patch-recovered interpolant Work conducted by David Neckels/ESMF in collaboration with Bill Large of the ocean modeling section at NCAR. 17
Near Future: Unstructured Grids § Uses same infrastructure as general regridding § Representation for hydrology grids and other grids § Future basis for exchange grids and observational data streams Image of rossby waves on a triangular adaptive grid (Alfred. Wegener-Institute for Polar and Meteorological Forecasting) 18
Longer Term: Interoperability & Integration Initiative § Enable groups with compilations of ESMF components to develop integrated modeling systems § Define standards to increase component interoperability § Metadata conventions § Strategies for automation and supplemental tools (e. g. MAPL) http: //esmfi 3. org/wiki/ 19
