Description:

NOAA’s Unified Forecast System (UFS) is a community-based modeling system developed to provide a common framework for all NCEP Production Suite operational forecast models. One of the UFS targets is a coupled model for global predictions of weather to seasonal time scales. Once completed, the coupled UFS will be a fully coupled atmosphere/land/ocean/sea ice/waves/aerosols system. The coupled UFS is built incrementally, by gradually adding necessary features and updating components. During the development process, discrete system prototypes are defined and evaluated in a standardized setting with consistent metrics. This note describes the sequence of coupled UFS prototypes developed to date and presents results from their evaluation.
