The NCAR MMM Division's Mesoscale Prediction Group (MPG) will be offering the final five-day MM5 tutorial class on January 24-28, 2005 at the NCAR Foothills Laboratory. This class is designed for new MM5 users. We encourage new users to attend a tutorial so that they can better understand the model and make effective use of it.

The tutorial class is a mixture of lectures and hands-on practice sessions. Detailed descriptions of the modeling system components will be given in the class. Participants will form teams of two and learn how to set up and run the modeling system programs on Unix workstations.

Basic Requirement

Basic knowledge of atmospheric science, numerical weather prediction as well as Fortran and UNIX is required for the class. If you have not used the MM5 modeling system before, we strongly recommend that you try the online tutorial before you come to the tutorial class. This exercise will help you better understand and benefit more from the lectures at the tutorial. Participants are also required to be able to use a UNIX editor (vi, or emacs).

General Policy

The tutorial class size is limited due to physical space and workstations available for practice. The classroom where the practice session takes place can only take 28 people at a time. Since this will be the final MM5 tutorial, we will try to accommodate all users, but once a total of 56 users have registered for the tutorial, all other registrants will be registered for lectures only. The tutorial class will be canceled if less than 10 users register.

Please view details about payment.
