+How to get details about the experiment
+=========================================
+To get details about the experiment, use the command:
+::
+
+    autosubmit describe EXPID
+
+*EXPID* is the experiment identifier.
+
+It displays information about the experiment. Currently it describes owner,description_date,model,branch and hpc
+
+Options:
+::
+
+    usage: autosubmit describe [-h ] expid
+
+      expid                 experiment identifier
+      -h, --help            show this help message and exit
+
+Example:
+::
+
+    autosubmit describe cxxx
