Welcome to NorESM1 documentation!

NorESM1 is the Norwegian Earth System model used for CMIP5. The model is based on the CCSM framework (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_Climate_System_Model). However, NorESM has special features developed by Norwegian researchers.

The purpose of the NorESM1 documentation is to provide a common place for NorESM users and developers to share information.

• What tools are you using?

• Which version should I run for what purpose? etc.

NorESM version 2 documentation is found here: https://github.com/NorESMhub/NorESM/edit/noresm2

If you have any questions, create a new issue on github at https://github.com/NorESMhub/norESM-docs/issues
