Online training course: Introduction to ECMWF computing services (including MARS)

Online | 30 October 2023 to 3 November 2023

This online course will give an introduction to ECMWF's computing services available to users from Member- and Co-operating States with a particular emphasis on the ECS service provided on the Atos. Access to the Meteorological Archival and Retrieval System (MARS) and the European Weather Cloud (EWC) will also be covered.  

The course target audience are users from ECMWF Member- and Co-operating States who are new to ECMWF systems or those planning to use the ECMWF systems in the near future. The course will be delivered as a mixture of presentations (via Teams) and practical sessions, in a virtual classroom setting using Gather.Town.

Prior knowledge of Linux (Unix) and a programming language are of advantage. Please note that accepted users are expected to attend the entire course. Users who are planning to use the system in the near future but do not have a user-ID yet are encouraged to get one before the training. 

Please also note that 1 November is a public holiday in many European countries, and that the course will not take place on that day. It will resume 2 November.
