Typical weather and climate models need a software tool to couple sub-scale model components. The high-performance computing requirements and a variety of model interfaces make the development of such a coupling tool very challenging. In this paper, we describe the approach of the Earth System Modeling Framework, in particular its component and coupling mechanism, and present the results of three cross-organization model interoperability experiments.
