Welcome to norESM documentation!

The purpose of the norESM 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.

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