What files are what

The top level directory structure groups source code and input files as follow:

File/directory	Purpose
LICENSE.md	A copy of the GNU Lesser General Public License, Version 3.
README.md	This file with basic pointers to more information.
NEMS/	Contains NOAA Environmental Modeling System source code and nems compset run scripts.
CMEPS-interface/	Contains CMEPS mediator
FV3/	Contains FV3 atmosphere model component including FV3 dynamical core, dynamics to physics driver, physics and IO.
DATM/	Contains Data Atmosphere model component
WW3/	Contains community wave modeling framework WW3.
MOM6-interface/	Contains MOM6 ocean model component
CICE-interface/	Contains CICE sea-ice model component including CICE6 and Icepack
stochastic_physics/	Contains the stochastic physics source code.
cmake/	Contains compile option files on various platforms.
modulefiles/	Contains module files on various platforms.
tests/	Regression and unit testing framework scripts.
build.sh	Script to build the model executable. (also used by tests/)

E.g. use of build.sh to build the coupled model with FV3_GFS_v15p2 as the CCPP suite.

$> CMAKE_FLAGS="-DAPP=S2S" CCPP_SUITES="FV3_GFS_v15p2" ./build.sh

The build system is regularly tested with Tier-1 and Tier-2 platforms. Configurations for other platforms that are available with UFS should be used with the understanding that they are not regularly tested and users will have to adapt those to make it work.
