5 PISM User's Manual
6 ==================
7
8 Welcome! All information about PISM is online at the home page
9
10 |pism-docs|
11
12 Please see the extensive lists of PISM publications and applications at that page.
13
14 This User's Manual gives examples of how to run PISM using publicly-available data for:
15 the whole Greenland ice sheet, the Jakobshavn outlet glacier in Greenland, the Ross ice
16 shelf in Antarctica, and a number of simplified geometry tests. It documents all the
17 PISM's command-line options and configuration parameters. It summarizes the continuum
18 models used by PISM, and it illustrates how PISM's numerical approximations are verified.
19
20 See the :ref:`Installation Manual <sec-installation>` for how to download the PISM source
21 code and install it, along with needed libraries. The :ref:`Climate Forcing Manual
22 <sec-climate-forcing>` extends this Manual to cover additional couplings to atmosphere and
23 ocean models and data.
24
25 Users who want to understand more deeply how PISM is designed, or who want to extend it,
26 will need to go beyond what is described here. See the `Source Code Browser
27 <pism-browser_>`_, which is online for the latest stable version. It can be generated from
28 source code as described in :ref:`sec-install-documentation`. It gives a complete view of the
29 class/object structure of the PISM source code.

31 .. warning::
32
33 PISM is an ongoing research project. Ice sheet modeling requires many choices. Please
34 don't trust the results of PISM or any other ice sheet model without a fair amount of
35 exploration. Also, please don't expect all your questions to be answered here. `Write to
36 us <pism-email_>`_ with questions.
