+Eady growth rate
+================
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+This recipe computes the Eady growth rate and performs the annual and seasonal means, storing 
+the results for each dataset. 
+For the seasonal means, the results are plotted over the North-Atlantic region for the selected
+pressure levels.
+
+
+Available recipes and diagnostics
+---------------------------------
+
+Recipes are stored in esmvaltool/recipes/
+
+    * recipe_eady_growth_rate.yml
+
+Diagnostics are stored in esmvaltool/diag_scripts/eady_growth_rate/
+
+    * eady_growth_rate.py: Computes and stores the eady growth rate. 
+      Plots can be produced for the seasonal mean over the North Atlantic region.
+
+
+User settings in recipe
+-----------------------
+
+#. Script eady_growth_rate.py
+
+   *Required settings for script*
+
+   * time_statistic: Set to 'annual' to compute the annual mean. Set to 'seasonal' to compute the seasonal mean.
+
+   *Optional settings for script*
+
+   * plot_levels: list of pressure levels to be plotted for the seasonal mean. If not specified, all levels will be plotted.
+
+
+Variables
+---------
+
+* ta (atmos, monthly mean, longitude latitude level time)
+* zg (atmos, monthly mean, longitude latitude level time)
+* ua (atmos, monthly mean, longitude latitude level time)
