The '''ESMF''' (''Earth System Modeling Framework'') is a software for building and coupling multi-component [[climate]], numerical [[weather prediction]], [[data assimilation]], and other [[Earth science]] [[software application]]s. These applications are computationally demanding and usually run on [[supercomputers]]. The ESMF project is distinguished by its strong emphasis on community ownership 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 [[Department of Defense]], and [[NASA]]. The ESMF development team is centered at [[NCAR]].
