 # UFS Short-Range Weather Application
 
-The UFS Short-Range Weather Application (UFS SR Wx App) provides an end-to-end system to run
-pre-processing tasks, the regional UFS Weather Model, and the Unified Post Processor (UPP). 
+The Unified Forecast System (UFS) is a community-based, coupled, comprehensive Earth modeling system. It is designed to be the source system for NOAA’s operational numerical weather prediction applications while enabling research, development, and contribution opportunities for the broader weather enterprise. For more information about the UFS, visit the UFS Portal at https://ufscommunity.org/.
 
-For the most up-to-date instructions on how to clone the repository, build the code, and run the workflow, see:
+The UFS can be configured for multiple applications (see a complete list at https://ufscommunity.org/#/science/aboutapps). The configuration described here is the UFS Short-Range Weather (SRW) Application, which targets predictions of atmospheric behavior on a limited spatial domain and on time scales from less than an hour out to several days. The development branch of the application is continually evolving as the system undergoes open development. The SRW App v1.0.0 represents a snapshot of this continuously evolving system. The SRW App includes a prognostic atmospheric model, pre- and post-processing, and a community workflow for running the system end-to-end. 
 
+The UFS SRW App User's Guide associated with the development branch is at: https://ufs-srweather-app.readthedocs.io/en/latest/, while that specific to the SRW App v1.0.0 release can be found at: https://ufs-srweather-app.readthedocs.io/en/ufs-v1.0.0/. The repository is at: https://github.com/ufs-community/ufs-srweather-app.
