摘 要：A general outline of the ESPC coupled atmosphere/ocean/ice/wave/land prediction system is proposed for the Initial Operational Capability targeted for 2018. A description of how it will cycle at both FNMOC and NAVOCEANO is included, although the specifics of how the distributed job control will function are still to be determined as the system becomes more mature. A potential issue with regard to the transfer of model output between the two centers has been identified and must be addressed in the upcoming years.
