The design and implementation of a high-performance Input/Output (I/O) library for the Korean Integrated Model (KIM, KIM-IO) is described in this paper. The KIM is a next-generation global operational model for the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA). The horizontal discretization of KIM consi...
