Reference

This page gathers reference material for OSMOSE users and developers. Reference pages are intended for quick consultation when users need to check terminology, equations, parameters, units, or algorithmic details.

Unlike conceptual pages, which explain how OSMOSE works, and workflow pages, which describe how to perform specific tasks, reference pages are organised as technical lookup material. They should help users find precise definitions and implementation-related information without having to search through longer tutorials or process descriptions.

Pages in this topic

• Glossary
  Defines important terms used in OSMOSE documentation, configuration files, model outputs, and technical discussions.

• Equations
  Gathers the main equations used in OSMOSE processes, modules, and indicators.

• Parameters
  Lists and describes OSMOSE parameters, including their meaning, expected values, and links to the processes or modules where they are used.

• Algorithms
  Describes algorithmic details used internally by OSMOSE, including process ordering, numerical procedures, and implementation logic.

• Units
  Summarises the units used in OSMOSE inputs, parameters, outputs, and derived indicators.

How to use this page

Users preparing or checking a configuration should start with Parameters and Units.

Users reading the documentation for the first time can use Glossary to clarify model terminology.

Users who need mathematical or technical detail should use Equations and Algorithms, together with the corresponding process or module pages.
