Abstract:
MCT is a set of open-source software tools for creating coupled models. MCT is fully parallel and can be used to couple message-passing parallel models to create a parallel coupled model. MCT is available as a small library and a set of Fortran90 modules.

MCT provides model interoperability through a simple API. Two models that declare and use MCT datatypes can be coupled with a minimum of effort.

MCT is the underlying coupling technology in the DOE-NSF Community Climate System Model (CCSM).
