 Integrated code of SCOPE and STEMMUS.
 
-SCOPE is a radiative transfer and energy balance model, and STEMMUS model is a two-phase mass and heat transfer model. For more information about the coupling between these two models, please check [this reference](https://gmd.copernicus.org/articles/14/1379/2021/).
+SCOPE is a radiative transfer and energy balance model, and STEMMUS model is a two-phase mass and heat transfer model. For more information about the coupling between these two models, please check [this reference](https://gmd.copernicus.org/articles/14/1379/2021/). Before running the model, you need to prepare input data and a configuration file. This can be done using the python package
