ESS Verification Suite
======================

This is the Git project for the ESS Verification Suite, which will serve as a tool for research projects and operational workflows involving subseasonal to seasonal to decadal forecast verification.

The main developers of the tool are Victòria Agudetse (@vagudets), An-Chi Ho (@aho), Lluís Palma (@lpalma) and Núria Pérez-Zanón (@nperez).

Branching strategy
------------------

Branches containing developments that are to be merged into the tool must contain "dev-" at the beginning of the name, followed by a short, meaningful description of the development in question. E.g. "dev-loading-subseasonal" for the branch containing developments related to the loading of subseasonal datasets.

Users that wish to incorporate their own developments into the core of the tool are encouraged to create a personal fork of the Auto-S2S repository to work on their projects. Please contact Victòria Agudetse at victoria.agudetse@bsc.es to discuss the first steps.
