Documentation
Documentation: The latest documentation for OpenIFS is included in the git repository, in the README.md and in the docs directory. This documentation supersedes the existing user guides on ECMWF Confluence which will no longer be maintained. It also ensures that the documentation remains aligned with the respective model version.
