# Numerical Models

Source code, input + output files, and setting/configuration information is hosted on public GitHub repositories and linked to the[ C-CoMP GitHub Organization](https://github.com/C-CoMP-STC). The [C-CoMP Zenodo Community](https://zenodo.org/communities/c-comp/?page=1\&size=20) can be used to store input and output files if GitHub storage limits are exceeded.

BCO-DMO dataset landing pages are created for model versions that are intended for publication (more information [here](https://www.bco-dmo.org/page/submitting-code-software-and-models)). Remember to add an open source license (e.g. [MIT license](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT), [gnu general public license v3.0](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html)). Code or software will be linked to dataset landing pages as supplemental files or as related publications if code is documented and archived. BCO-DMO can serve all output files or a few example output files.

Please consult [the BCO-DMO documentation for models, software, and code](https://bcodmo.gitbook.io/how-to/data-submission/software-and-code) for more information.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://c-comp.gitbook.io/data-management-handbook/numerical-models.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
