nemspy 1.0.5

NEMS configuration generation

NEMSpy

NEMSpy generates configuration files (nems.configure, config.rc, model_configure, atm_namelist.rc) for coupled modeling applications run with a compiled NEMS binary (not included).

pip install nemspy

NEMS implements the National Unified Operational Prediction Capability (NUOPC), and configuration files built for NEMS will also work for most NUOPC applications.

Documentation can be found at https://nemspy.readthedocs.io

organization / responsibility

NEMSpy is developed by the Coastal Marine Modeling Branch (CMMB) of the Office of Coast Survey (OCS), a part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), an agency of the United States federal government.
