The DTC provides the development and support for two software packages that serve as important underpinnings of Earth System Model development:
CCPP and its companion Single Column Model (SCM) provide a collaborative infrastructure for the development of physics parameterizations that can be used across different Earth system models. METplus is a verification framework that can be applied to a broad range of temporal and spatial scales, as well as modeling systems. To learn more about the capabilities of CCPP and METplus and how to obtain support using these packages, visit their respective webpages.
Software/Tools supported by EPIC
In the early days of the Unified Forecast System (UFS), the DTC established an initial support framework for UFS applications. These support responsibilities have been transitioned to the Earth Prediction Innovation Center (EPIC). All parties interested in engaging with UFS are advised to consult the EPIC website.
