Name
The Modular Earth Submodel System (MESSy)
Description
The Modular Earth Submodel System (MESSy) is a software providing a framework for a standardized, bottom-up implementation of Earth System Models (or parts of those) with flexible complexity. "Bottom-up" means, the MESSy software provides an infrastructure with generalized interfaces for the standardized control and interconnection (=coupling) of "low-level ESM components" (dynamic cores, physical parameterizations, chemistry packages, diagnostics etc.), which are called submodels. MESSy comprises currently about 60 submodels (i.e., coded MESSy conform):
- infrastructure (= the framework) submodels
- diagnostic submodels
- atmospheric chemistry related submodels
- model physics related submodels
MESSy is a multi-institutional project.
