These are the research projects that use or have used the Saros system. Each one
publishes its results as a Saros-generated report website, so they double as
worked examples of what the system produces.

Project names are Norwegian and are kept as proper nouns, with an English gloss
on first use.

## Reading these as examples

Where a project produces mesos reports, those are password protected, since each
institution should see only its own results. The main report — the macro level
described in `vig_00_about_saros` — is the publicly reachable part.
