Course goals

The goal of the coars is that the participants should be able to set up and run NorESM experiments, run standard diagnostics on the model output, and learn how to contribute to the NorESM model system and supporting infrastructure.

Audience

The workshop is intended for Ph.D students, postdocs and scientists who are interested in executing model simulations and learning more about technical aspects around it.

Prerequisites

  • You should bring your own laptop with an installed SSH client, to enable login to Sigma2 resources.
  • You will need an account on the Sigma2 HPC Betzy to work with NorESM. If you do not already have access to these systems, we can arrange access before the meeting.
  • You should be able to navigate the file tree in a terminal session and edit text files in the terminal. This Linux shell crash course (video) contains the essentials.
