UM Introduction Course
NCAS-CMS organises 3-day workshops that introduce the UM infrastructure for UK researchers, to help new users past the initial steep learning curve usually involved with UM modelling.
These course are usually run twice a year. The next course will be 7-9 November 2018 at the University of Reading. Please see the NCAS training page for more details and how to apply.
Material from previous courses:
- April 2018 - Introduction to the UM with Rose and cylc
- December 2017 - Introduction to the UM with Rose and cylc
- March 2017 - Introduction to the UM with Rose and cylc
- November 2016 - Introduction to the UM with Rose and cylc
- April 2016 - Introduction to the UM with the UMUI
Rose Conversion Course
Rose & Cylc are the replacement user interface and job submission/control system for the UMUI from UM version 10.x. NCAS-CMS ran a 1-day course for users already familiar with running the UM under the UMUI in September 2016, and it is our intention to run this course again in 2017. This course does not cover how the UM itself works so new users are encouraged to attend the UM Introduction Course instead.
The majority of the course will be hands-on exercises supplemented with lectures, covering the following topics:
- Overview of Rose/Cylc
- Creating & managing suites
- How to configure, build and run a UM application
- Examining Rose suite output
- Common pitfalls and troubleshooting
