The '''Earth System Modeling Framework''' ('''ESMF''') is [[open-source software]] for building [[Climate model|climate]], [[numerical weather prediction]], [[data assimilation]], and other [[Earth science]] [[software applications]]. These applications are computationally demanding and usually run on [[supercomputers]]. The ESMF is considered a technical layer, integrated into a sophisticated [[common modeling infrastructure]] for [[interoperability]]. Other aspects of interoperability and shared infrastructure include: common experimental protocols, common analytic methods, common documentation standards for data and data provenance, shared workflow, and shared model components.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cpo.noaa.gov/sites/cpo/MAPP/Webinars/2014/03-31-14/Balaji.pdf|title=Scientific Basis for Common Infrastructure|author=NOAA/CPO MAPP|date=March 31, 2014|page=15 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220120185349/http://cpo.noaa.gov/sites/cpo/MAPP/Webinars/2014/03-31-14/Balaji.pdf |archive-date=2022-01-20}}</ref>
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 [[United States Department of Defense|Department of Defense]], and [[NASA]]. The ESMF development team was centered at [[NCAR]] until 2009, after which it moved to the [[NOAA]] [[Earth System Research Laboratories]].
