Welcome to the NorESM2 User’s Guide!

The purpose of the NorESM2 User’s Guide is to provide a common place for NorESM2 users and developers to share information. E.g. How is the code organised? What tools are used? Which version should be run for what purpose?

The NorESM1 version ReadTheDocs can be found here

https://noresm-docs.readthedocs.io/en/noresm1/

Note

You are viewing the documentation for NorESM2.1, which is a technical development version of NorESM2. If you are looking for documentation of the CMIP6 version (NorESM2.0), please refer to the noresm2 documentation pages. See Introduction and NorESM2.1 release notes for more about the differences between NorESM2.0 and NorESM2.1.
