2. The difference between Cpl6 and Cpl7 Cpl6 uses MPH to organize the framework of the couple model, but Cpl7 uses MPI group communicator. Cpl6 is concurrent, but Cpl7 is sequential. Cpl6 is MPMD, but Cpl7 is SPMD. In Cpl6 the communication process is embedded in the component integration process and the component is also responsible for data transferring. But in Cpl7 they are separated. All communication processes are taken over by Cpl7 and the component runs itself without taking care of data transferring. It’s better for model development.

5. RACM Coupling flow The model is controlled by the driver The coupling process has three phases in each four components: importing, running and exporting Two sub steps : at first, ocean, seaice and land finish importing, running and exporting; then, atmosphere imports, runs and export, since atmosphere needs the surface data from land, seaice and ocean. Two implications at present: all the component has the same couple interval and their timesteps are equal to or less than couple interval

9. CCSM4 clock mechanism RACM has two sets of clocks. One is the ESMF clock, which controls the coupling process; the other is the internal clock in each components, which controls the integration. Every pe has five ESMF clocks: Eclock_d (driver), Eclock_a (atmospher), Eclock_o (ocean), Eclock_l (land), Eclock_i (seaice). The ESMF clock advances one step with the couple interval timestep. Each component has its internal clock, which advances one step with integral timestep. The component exports data and Cpl7 transfer data if the internal clock matches the ESMF clock.

11. Data flow of the coupling process in each component The component doesn’t import from or export to the coupler actively. It’s that the coupler transfers data into or out of the component. By the union communication group of the coupler and the component, the coupler uses the MCT function “rearrange” to get and put the data. The rearranged data has the same value and feature with the original except the palace of pe. So the rearrange process is very fast. The coupler remaps or merges the incoming data for the sake of the coupling among different componet.

12. Data flow of the coupling process in each component Atmosphere: x2a_aa (import data) a2x_aa (export data) Ocean: x2o_oo (import data) o2x_xx (export data) Seaice: x2i_ii (import data) i2x_ii (export data) Land: x2l_ll (import data) l2x_ll (export data)

18. Some Changes of Cpl7 and WRF for the sake of RACM at present and in future Reorganizing WRF upper structure to be fit for coupling. Changing the the related Cpl7 atmosphere land couple subroutine and allow the LSM has a different grid. It has more flexible since the grids of WRF and LSM are often different. Any resolution change in LSM may bring arduous work of adjusting the parameters. The decomposition of the grid in WRF has halo, but Cpl7 doesn’t consider it. Adaption of Cpl7 for halo will be necessary. The couple time interval of the different model should be different for RACM. The couple time interval of VIC in RACM is one day. But the fine scale of NAPC needs get the data every one hour or even 15 minutes.

19. Reorganizing of WRF integral process wrf_init -----  atm_init_mct(Eclock, cdata_a, x2a_a, a2x_a) wrf_run-----  atm_run_mct(Eclock,cdata_a,x2a_a, a2x_a) Wrf_finalize-----  atm_final_mct() Wrap Wrf_init with the related coupler data and initialize it (1)Wrap Wrf_run with atm_import_mct and atm_export_mct, make wrf_run run until the couple time is ok (2)reorganize the wrf_run into three parts and throw wrf land surface model: wrf_run1, undertaking dynamic integral; wrf_run2, calculating radiation; wrf_run3, calculating other physic process Destroy the related coupler data and wrf data
