  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.
