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. 30 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. 37 38 .. toctree:: 39 :caption: Contents 40 41 std-greenland/index.rst 42 43 highlevelview/index.rst 44 45 initialization/index.rst 46 47 modeling-choices/index.rst 48 49 practical-usage/index.rst 50 51 simplified-geometry/index.rst 52 53 verification/index.rst 54 55 validation/index.rst 56 57 jakobshavn/index.rst 58 59 parameters/index.rst 60 61 diagnostics/index.rst
