+## Introduction
+
+ClimaLand is the Land model of the Climate Modeling Alliance (CliMA) Earth System Model, which
+also contains other components ([atmosphere](https://github.com/CliMA/ClimaAtmos.jl), [ocean](https://github.com/CliMA/ClimaOcean.jl), [sea-ice](https://github.com/CliMA/ClimaSeaIce.jl)).
+
+ClimaLand can be run coupled (or "online") with these other components via [ClimaCoupler](https://github.com/CliMA/ClimaCoupler.jl),
+or it can be run as a standalone, via prescribed meteorological data ("offline").
+
+ClimaLand library, described in this documentation, is written in the Julia
+programming language. It aims to be fast and have a clear syntax. ClimaLand
+can run on CPU or GPU, it has a modular design, and is flexible in many ways. This documentation will expand on each of these elements.

+## Documentation for Users and Developers
+
+ClimaLand has documentation for both users and developers. The documentation for users is aimed at scientists who wants
+to run simulations using ClimaLand, whereas the documentation for developers is aimed at contributors of the ClimaLand
+code library. As such, users can skip reading the docs for developers, and vice-versa.
+
+## Physical units
+
+Note that CliMA, in all its repositories, uses Standard Units, reminded below
+
+| Quantity              | Unit Name | SI Symbol | SI Unit Equivalent  |
+|:----------------------|:----------|:----------|:--------------------|
+| Length                | Meter     | m         | 1 m                 |
+| Mass                  | Kilogram  | kg        | 1 kg                |
+| Time                  | Second    | s         | 1 s                 |
+| Temperature           | Kelvin    | K         | 1 K                 |
+| Amount of Substance   | Mole      | mol       | 1 mol               |
+| Energy                | Joule     | J         | 1 J = 1 N·m         |
+| Power                 | Watt      | W         | 1 W = 1 J/s         |
+| Pressure              | Pascal    | Pa        | 1 Pa = 1 N/m²       |
+| Frequency             | Hertz     | Hz        | 1 Hz = 1 s⁻¹        |
