 <p>The PMP provides a diverse suite of analysis utilities each of which produce summary statistics that gauge the consistency between climate model simulations and available observations. The primary application of the PMP is to evaluate simulations from the <a class="reference external" href="https://www.wcrp-climate.org/wgcm-cmip">Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP)</a>. It can also be used to provide objective performance summaries during the model development process as well as selected research purposes.

To obtain this, please contact the PMP user group ([email protected]) and you will promptly provided with the database. A subset of this database is available via the demo data made available for the PMP tutorials via a `jupyter notebook demo <https://github.com/PCMDI/pcmdi_metrics/blob/master/doc/jupyter/Demo/Demo_0_download_data.ipynb>`_ or via the version of python included as part of the PMP environment.

Once you have downloaded this demo data you can interactively run the mean climate and other demos. 
+
+The `mean climate notebook <https://github.com/PCMDI/pcmdi_metrics/blob/master/doc/jupyter/Demo/Demo_1_mean_climate.ipynb>`_ provides a series of examples that demonstrate the options available. 
+
+Preparation of model climatologies
+##################################
+
+Sample model climatologies are available as part of the PMP demo database noted above and are used for the mean climate notebook. However, if a user wants to create and use their own model climatologies the a simple example is provide in the mean climate notebook itself or the `PMP github repository <https://github.com/PCMDI/pcmdi_metrics/tree/master/sample_setups/pcmdi_parameter_files/mean_climate/make_clims>`_. 
+
+
+Construction of an input paramater file
+#######################################
+
+The PMP mean climate metrics can be controlled via an input parameter file, the command line, or both. With the command line only it is executed via: ::
+
+
+ mean_climate_driver.py -p basic_param.py
+
+or as a combination of an input parameter file and the command line, e.g.: ::
+
+ mean_climate_driver.py -p basic_param.py --vars rlut pr 
+
+where the list of variables to run the analysis on includes the variables 'rlut' (outgoing TOA longwave radiation) and 'pr' (precipitation). 
+
+Because there are a minimum of 5(?) parameters to be set with the mean climate statistics. 
+
+SOME DISCUSSION HERE ON THE MINIMUM SET OF INPUT PARAMETERS.
+
 
-
 
+In addition to the minimum set of parameters noted above, the following summarizes additional options than can be controlled for the mean climate:
 
 
+* Select regridding option
+* Define a different set of regions
+* Provide or estimate a land-sea mask
+* Define regional masking (e.g., land-only or ocean-only)
+* Select to output (or not) interpolate climatologies including masking
