Description: The ILAMB Benchmarking System
        =============================
        
        The International Land Model Benchmarking (ILAMB) project is a
        model-data intercomparison and integration project designed to improve
        the performance of land models and, in parallel, improve the design of
        new measurement campaigns to reduce uncertainties associated with key
        land surface processes. Building upon past model evaluation studies,
        the goals of ILAMB are to:
        
        * develop internationally accepted benchmarks for land model
          performance, promote the use of these benchmarks by the
          international community for model intercomparison,
        * strengthen linkages between experimental, remote sensing, and
          climate modeling communities in the design of new model tests and
          new measurement programs, and
        * support the design and development of a new, open source,
          benchmarking software system for use by the international community.
        
        It is the last of these goals to which this repository is
        concerned. We have developed a python-based generic benchmarking
        system, initially focused on assessing land model performance.

        * `Documentation
          <http://climate.ornl.gov/~ncf/ILAMB/docs/index.html>`_ of the public
          API is included in the repository, but also hosted if you follow the
          link.
        * `Sample output
          <http://www.climatemodeling.org/~nate/ILAMB/index.html>`_ gives you
          an idea of the scope and magnitude of the package capabilities.
