Improving Subseasonal to Seasonal Predictions Through ESMF-NUOPC Coupled Modeling

Session ID#: 161207

Session Description:
At subseasonal timescales and longer, two-way interactions between earth components such as ocean, atmosphere, land, and cryosphere become increasingly important for skillful weather-related predictions.  The Earth System Modeling Framework (ESMF) is a high-performance, flexible software infrastructure for building and coupling weather, climate, and related Earth science applications. The ESMF defines an architecture for composing complex, coupled modeling systems and includes data structures and utilities for developing individual models. The National Unified Operational Prediction Capability (NUOPC) Layer defines conventions and templates for using ESMF. The ESMF-NUOPC tool allows more seamless experimentation and accelerated transition to operations of coupled Earth system modeling by enabling the mixing of operational and experimental model components. Presentations on the current and future use, and potential for innovation with ESMF-NUOPC at all time scales are welcomed. Additionally, studies of increases to prediction skill over subseasonal to seasonal and other time scales benefiting from coupled model architecture are particularly desired.
