User Guide: Intro to Iris#

The User Guide is designed to give an introduction to and a comprehensive grounding in Iris’ data model and functionality. It is presented in a linear narrative style, with early sections providing a foundation for later sections.

Tip

  • User Guide: a linear narrative introduction to Iris’ data model and functionality.

  • User Manual: a searchable index of all user documentation.

Much of the content has supplementary links to the reference documentation; you will not need to follow these links in order to understand the guide but they may serve as a useful reference for future exploration.

Since later pages depend on earlier ones, try reading this user guide sequentially using the next and previous links at the bottom of each page.

Note

There is also useful learning material held in the scitools-classroom repo, including tutorials, courses and presentations.
