PhD Workshop: An Introduction into Linux/Unix and Programming with FORTRAN 14. – 17.07.16 in Leipzig

When interacting with a server or computing cluster, the use of the command line (e.g. the Lunix terminal) is essential. Many of these servers are using a Linux system, or a system that can be handled in a similar way and are not accessible with a graphical user interface (GUI). The knowledge about the functions ot the terminal will make it a powerful tool for everyda work, not only when interacting with computing centres but also with peronal Linux/Unix machines.

FORTRAN is still one of the most commonly used programming languages in the field of meteorology/climatology. Its performance makes it useful for modelling as well as for data handling and analysis.

This workshop will give a short introduction into theses fields through exercises and coaching. It will be held by PhD students who are experienced users.

The workshop is capped at 14 participants for room capacity reasons.
