\section{Coding Conventions}
\label{sec:app_code_conv}

Several application groups using ESMF have established coding 
conventions:
\begin{itemize}
\item \htmladdnormallink{The FMS Manual:  A developer's guide to the GFDL
Flexible Modeling System}{http://www.gfdl.noaa.gov/\~{}vb/FMSManual}\cite{FMSdevguide}
\item \htmladdnormallink{Coding standard for the NCAR Community Atmospheric
  Model}{http://www.ccsm.ucar.edu/csm/working_groups/Software/dev_guide/dev_guide}\cite{CCSMdevguide}
\end{itemize}

Deployment team groups that do not have a documented coding standard are
encouraged to use those outlined in Part II (Core Team Guide), 
Section~\ref{sec:code_conv} of this {\it Guide}.
