Program and Project Details: The Flexible Modeling System (FMS), is a software framework for supporting the efficient development, construction, execution, and scientific interpretation of atmospheric, oceanic, and climate system models. It was developed at the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory. The FMS is the Earth System Modeling (ESM) framework used at GFDL. The framework supports the multi-physics model components (e.g. atmosphere dynamical core, atmospheric physics, ocean dynamical core and physics, land model, ice model, etc). The FMS core is written primarily in modern Fortran with some elements in C and C++. The core supplies various services that enable grid based domain decomposition, MPI and OpenMP based inter-processor communication, parallel I/O, model diagnostics generation, etc. Importantly, various grids are employed within a single model across the model component space (e.g. “cubed-sphere” for the atmosphere and “tripolar” for the ocean).
SAIC accepts applications on an ongoing basis and there is no deadline.
