Description : Coupler for exchanging fields between components of Earth system models
OASIS3 is the direct evolution of the OASIS coupler developed since more than 10 years at CERFACS (Toulouse, France). Portability and flexibility are
OASIS3 key design concepts. At run-time, OASIS3 acts as a separate mono process executable, which main function is to interpolate the coupling fields
exchanged between the component models, and as a library linked to the component models, the OASIS3 PRISM Model Interface Library (OASIS3 PSMILe).
OASIS3 supports 2D coupling fields only. To communicate with OASIS3, directly with another model, or to perform I/O actions, a component model needs to
include few specific PSMILe calls. OASIS3 PSMILe supports in particular parallel communication between a parallel component model and OASIS3 main
process based on Message Passing Interface (MPI) and file I/O using the GFDL mpp_io library.
OASIS3 has been extensively used in the PRISM demonstration runs and is currently used by approximately 15 climate modelling groups in Europe, USA,
Canada, Australia, India and Brazil.
