The ufs-coastal-app repository is the umbrella for the UFS Coastal project currently under development by NOAA and NCAR, which supports coastal forecast requirements. The UFS Coastal Application is meant to constitute a workflow for coastal forecasting, wherein the coupling infrastructure is provided by this fork of ufs-weather-model, which is currently in active development.
The model-level repo contains the model code and external links needed to build the Unified Forecast System (UFS) coastal model executable and associated model components, including the ROMS, FVCOM, ADCIRC and SCHISM plus WaveWatch III model components.
Here, model component means a forecast component (e.g. coastal ocean model) that represents a physical domain (e.g. Atlantic Ocean) or process (e.g. biogeochemistry). An application is a workflow that is designed for a particular forecasting purpose. A workflow consists of a set of model components and coupling infrastructure, provided by UFS Coastal Model, pre- and post-processing scripts, and is associated with a range of valid coupling configurations.

Model components currently supported on top of ufs-weather-model components are as follows. Each model component is provided as a submodule via forks of the authoritative model repos. UFS-related model component issues are handled within these forks:
Points of contact & repos for specific questions regarding each model component, as well as NOAA and NCAR project teams, are listed below. The authoritative model repositories are also linked below.
