 ====================
 
 The NOAA Environmental Modeling System (NEMS) is the infrastructure
-underlying a **coupled modeling system** that supports predictions of
+underlying NOAA's [Unified Forecast System (UFS)] (https://ufscommunity.org/) a fully coupled modeling framework that supports predictions of
 Earth's environment at a range of time scales. Examples of other
 coupled modeling systems are the 
 [Community Earth System Model (CESM)](http://www.cesm.ucar.edu)
 and the
 [Met Office Unified Model] (http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/research/modelling-systems/unified-model)
 
+NEMS includes infrastructure for coupling model components
+representing major Earth system domains and processes.  
 **A model component** is a software representation of a physical
 domain or process, for example sea ice. It is often developed by a
 team of specialists in that domain. Model coupling is a software
 representation of feedbacks between physical processes. It involves
 modifying the exported fields of a component through grid, unit,
 temporal, and other transformations so that they can be used as the
-inputs for another component.
+inputs for another component. These components are managed through repositories, primarily on GitHub.

 In general, model components are
 coupled through the NEMS mediator (in other coupled modeling systems
 this is often called the "coupler").  NEMS also includes some
