 FaIR
 ====
 
 Finite Amplitude Impulse-Response simple climate-carbon-cycle model
 
-Installation
-------------
-
-#. Make sure you have Python 3.6+ and pip installed
-#. From terminal/command prompt ``pip install fair``
-
-Usage
------
-
-FaIR takes emissions of greenhouse gases, aerosol and ozone precursors,
-and converts these into greenhouse gas concentrations, radiative forcing
-and temperature change.
-
-There are two ways to run FaIR:
-
-#. Carbon dioxide emissions only with all other radiative forcings
-   specified externally (specify ``useMultigas=False`` in the call to
-   ``fair_scm``);
-#. All species included in the RCP emissions datasets, with, optionally,
-   solar and volcanic forcing still specified externally. For
-   convenience, the RCP datasets are provided in the RCP subdirectory
-   and can be imported:

+This repo is a fork of the FAIR model maintained by the Climate Impact Lab for use in research and publications. For the official version of the FAIR model, see https://github.com/OMS-NetZero/FAIR.
 
-    from fair.forward import fair_scm
-    from fair.RCPs import rcp85
-    emissions = rcp85.Emissions.emissions
-    C,F,T = fair_scm(emissions=emissions)
-
-The main engine of the model is the ``fair_scm`` function in
-``forward.py``. This function can be imported into a Python script or
-iPython session. The most important keyword to ``fair_scm`` is the
-``emissions``. This should be either a (nt, 40) numpy array (in multigas
-mode) or (nt,) numpy array (in CO2 only mode), where nt is the number of
-model timesteps. The outputs are a tuple of ``(C, F, T)`` arrays which
-are GHG concentrations ((nt, 31) in multigas mode, (nt,) in CO2-only
-mode), forcing ((nt, 13) or (nt,)) and temperature change (nt,). The
-index numbers corresponding to each species will be given in tables 1 to
-3 of the revised version of the Smith et al. paper reference below (we
-hope to make this object-oriented in the future). For now, note that the
-input emissions follow the ordering of the RCP datasets, which are
-included under ``fair/RCPs``, and the GHG concentrations output are in
-the same order, except that we don't output the year, only use one
-column for total CO2, and the short-lived species (input indices 5 to 11
-inclusive) are not included, reducing the number of columns from 40 to
-31. In multigas mode the forcing output indices are:
-
-0. CO\ :sub:`2`\
-1. CH\ :sub:`4`\
-2. N\ :sub:`2`\ O
-3. Minor GHGs (CFCs, HFCs etc)
-4. Tropospheric ozone
-5. Stratospheric ozone
-6. Stratospheric water vapour from methane oxidation
-7. Contrails
-8. Aerosols
-9. Black carbon on snow
-10. Land use
-11. Volcanic
-12. Solar
