The Oceanographic Multipurpose Software Environment (OMUSE) is a Python framework that aims to provide a homogeneous environment for numerical Earth System models, with an emphasis on Oceanographic applications. Its goal is to simplify the use and deployment of existing numerical codes. In this way, numerical experiments that couple different types of models representing different physics or spanning ranges of physical scales can be designed more easily. The version 1.1 adds interfaces for large eddy simulation code DALES and the atmospheric global circulation model OpenIFS.

OMUSE was developed at the Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research, Utrecht, in collaboration with Leiden Observatory and the Netherlands eScience Center as part of the ABC-MUSE project, funded by the Netherlands eScience Center.
