==About ESMF==

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 Laboratory]].
