 Getting Started
 ===============
 
-This documentation is intended to explain how to compute ocean, solid Earth, load and pole tide variations using the set of ``pyTMD`` programs.
 See the `background material <./Background.html>`_ and `glossary <./Glossary.html>`_ for more information on the theory and methods used in ``pyTMD``.
