| CLIM0015-1 | Programming in service of climatology (part 2)
|
|
| Duration : | 15h Th, 30h Pr |
|
| Number of credits : |
|
|
| Lecturer : | Xavier Fettweis |
|
Language(s) of instruction :
|
| French language |
|
Course contents :
|
| Compared to CLIM0014 Partim 1, the lectures deepen some notions in Fortran and introduce the students to the shell BASH on Linux and the graphic tool Ferret used to plot the model outputs as well as the climate data set (e.g.: the reanalysis). Only the elements of Fortran/Linux used in climatology will be teach. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| The lectures aim to familiarize the students to some computer tools (Linux, Fortran and Ferret) used to process the climate data and, to run and analyze the climate models. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| CLIM0014-1 Programmation au service de la climatologie (partim 1) |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| The exercises asked every week will be mainly do during the tutorials where the teacher will be present to help the students. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| This course is based on the concept "project-based learning" i.e. every week, the student has to resolve a programming exercises for the next week. The theoretical basis will be teach in the previous lecture. |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| Reference articles are presented to the students during the first lesson.
The pdf files of the lecture slides are available for the students on http://www.climato.be/cours |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| Each student has to resolve on his computer a small problem using Fortran, Linux and Ferret.
Three evaluated exercices (2h) will be proposed to the students as well as a mock exam (4h). The ones will be taken into account as bonus in the final evaluation. |
