Here you will find the reference documentation for the Clear Climate Code project. Currently only some of the modules are documented.
The Clear Climate Code project writes and maintains software for climate modelling and analysis, with an emphasis on clarity and correctness.
The results of some climate-related software are used as the basis for important public policy decisions. If the software is not clearly correct, decision-making will be obscured by debates about it. The project goals are to clear away that obscurity, to increase the clarity and correctness of climate science software.
The Clear Climate Code project is conducted by Ravenbrook Limited and its staff, in the public interest. Nick Barnes had the project idea in 2007. Nobody has commissioned this work from us, or paid us for it. All the code and documentation written as part of the project is available at no charge under an open source license.
If you’d like to help, email us, telling us who you are and what you think you can contribute. We’re still in the early stages of the project, and we don’t yet know how we’ll manage any distributed development, but offers of help are very welcome.
