科學家們在進行科學模型耦合時時常會需要寫相當大量且冗長的程式碼。本論文開發的開放源碼工具 -- ESMF Code Generator 是一個能夠幫助科學家們在使用Earth System Modeling Framework (ESMF) 進行科學模型耦合時替他們產生程式碼的工具。ESMF是一個架構相當完善、效能相當不錯且在科學領域中被廣泛使用的一套用來進行科學模型耦合的框架。ESMF Code Generator 除了可以幫助使用者減輕工作量外，還同時能夠幫助那些對ESMF較為不熟悉的使用者逐漸學會如何使用ESMF。此外，此工具產生程式碼的規則是開放的，使用者可以依照自己的需求客製化此工具中的所有規則。

This thesis presents an overview of the features and architecture of Earth System Modeling Framework (ESMF). It aims to provide readers who had never used ESMF before with a clear view of this powerful coupling framework. The thesis also explains how to arrange the scientific model code in order to apply model coupling: It gives code examples to illustrate how model coupling works.
This thesis also introduces an open source tool, ESMF Code Generator. The goal of the ESMF Code Generator is to help the users to gain a better understanding of ESMF and reduce the time in coupling by keeping the users from the tasks of coding. The code generation rules of the tool is open and can be customize by the users.
