Description
The Essential Model Documentation (EMD) is a high-level description of an earth system model.
It is intended to contain information about model configuration that may be helpful to the communities who expect to make use of the model output, whilst not imposing burdensome requirements on those providing the data.
It is not intended to contain all information about a model. More detailed model documentation than that provided by the EMD should be found in the references cited as part of the EMD, or from other external sources. The EMD has been designed to be applicable to any earth system model, nonetheless some guidance has been included in this version for its use within the CMIP7 project (Dunne et al., 2024), for which EMD was originally developed.
