Upcoming webinars

2013-06-19 (Wednesday), 09:30am UK local time (08:30 UTC) : Introduction to Metview

This webinar will give an introduction to using Metview's interactive user interface, introducing the main concepts behind Metview and how to use it. It is scheduled to last around an hour. A follow-up question and answer session will be held on 2013-06-21. The slides can be found here.

Please register at the link above to participate.

If you would like to do the Metview introductory tutorial material, go to the Tutorials page and find the 'Metview Introductory Material' section. Now follow the instructions under 'Metview Interactive Usage'. This is the same material which is followed during the annual Metview training course at ECMWF, and takes 1.5 days to complete (dependent on personal speed). These exercises require a working Metview installation, but users with access to ECMWF's Member State server ecgate can log on and type metview4 to start Metview.

2013-06-24 (Monday), 09:30am UK local time (08:30 UTC) : Introduction to Macro

This webinar will give an introduction to using Metview's macro scripting language. It will be based on the Macro training course - see Tutorials. It is scheduled to last around an hour. A follow-up question and answer session will be held on 2013-06-26. The slides can be found here.

Please register at the link above to participate.

If you would like to try the Metview introductory tutorial material, go to the Tutorials page and find the 'Metview Introductory Material' section. Now follow the instructions under 'Metview Macro'. An expanded version of the webinar slides can be found as 'mv_macro.pdf'.

Macro Tutorial 1 teaches the basics of the Macro language. We suggest you do only steps 1-8 and 11-12 (i.e., omit steps 9-10 and the section on expanding Macro with your own Fortran or C routines). Also, start on page 5 since the introduction was already covered in the webinar.

Macro Tutorial 2 demonstrates how to deal with observation data and compare it with gridded field data.

Macro Tutorial 3 shows some of the more advanced aspects of GRIB-handling, such as masking a field based on the values of another, extracting point data from a fieldset and retrieving meta-data from a fieldset.
