-# WRF-GC | A two-way coupled meteo/chem model
+## WRF-GC
 
-This repository (`wrf-gc`) holds the `chem` directory for the WRF-GC model, which contains all the custom code necessary to run WRF-GC under a WRF installation
-and a built-in version of GEOS-Chem (currently `12.8.2` official version)
+This is the official release repository for the **WRF-GC** model, an online two-way coupling of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model and the [GEOS-Chem](https://geos-chem.seas.harvard.edu/) atmospheric chemistry model.

+## About WRF-GC
 
-(c) 2017-2022 Atmospheric Chemistry & Climate Group, SUSTech
+[WRF-GC](https://fugroup.org/index.php/WRF-GC) is an online two-way coupled meteorology-chemistry model using WRF to drive GEOS-Chem chemistry. It is developed by [Haipeng Lin](https://jimmielin.me/), [Xu Feng](https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Xu-Feng-11), and [Tzung-May Fu](https://fugroup.org) and based at the [Atmospheric Chemistry & Climate Group at SUSTech](https://fugroup.org).
 
-GEOS-Chem, GEOS-Chem High Performance, HEMCO, ESMF/MAPL Frameworks are (c) their original authors.
+The WRF-GC model includes a versatile coupler coupling GEOS-Chem to WRF in a manner similar to WRF-Chem, making it seamless for WRF-Chem users to use WRF-GC and allowing GEOS-Chem users access to WRF-simulated online weather, with the capability for hindcasts and forecasts.
