+name: New analysis request
+about: Request to add a new analysis to the analysis-scripts repo
+labels: 'enhancement'
+---
+
+**Describe the science question your POD addresses**
+
+**Describe the analysis your analysis suite will perform**
+[e.g., my analysis suite computes the 3-month average of wind speed over DJF,MAM, JJA, SON from 1970--2020]
+
+**What output does your analysis suite generate?**
+[e.g., my analysis suite produces a 4-panel figure of seasonal composite maps of 850-hPa wind speed ]
+
+**Describe any required observational input files**
+[e.g., this analysis suite requires monthly u and v wind components from the NNR Reanalysis II dataset over 1970--2020]
+
+**Describe any required model input files**
+[e.g., this analysis suite requires daily wind speed from the CMIP6.DAMIP.NOAA-GFDL.GFDL-CM4.hist-nat.r2i1p1f1 dataset over 1998--2010]
