This is the CMIP7 updates blog. It is a lightweight, file-based CMS: there is no admin interface and no database to edit. To publish an update, you just add a markdown file.

Publishing an update

1. Create a new file under content/blog/, e.g. content/blog/my-update.md.
2. Add frontmatter at the top:

   ---
   title: "My CMIP7 update"
   description: "A one-line summary shown on the blog index."
   date: "2026-07-01"
   author: "Your Name"
   ---
   

3. Write the body in standard markdown — headings, lists, code blocks, tables, links and images all work.
4. Commit and push. The post appears at /blog/my-update and is listed on the blog index automatically — no code changes required.

Adding figures

Put image files in the public/ directory and reference them with an absolute path:

![Global mean surface temperature](/figures/gm-tas.png)

Anything in public/ is published as-is, so /figures/gm-tas.png maps to public/figures/gm-tas.png.

That's it — happy writing.
