Abstract

The Grid ENabled Integrated Earth system modelling (GENIE) framework is designed: (i) to flexibly couple models of Earth system components (including; ocean, atmosphere, land surface, sea-ice, marine biogeochemistry, terrestrial biogeochemistry, ice sheets), such that they can be readily interchanged at compilation time, (ii) to tune and execute the resulting Earth system models on a wide variety of platforms including across the Grid, and (iii) to archive, query, and retrieve the results.
