Community Terrestrial Systems Model Tutorial

The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) is offering a week-long tutorial on the Community Terrestrial Systems Model (CTSM) hosted by the Climate & Global Dynamics laboratory (CGD) on 4-8 February 2019. CTSM is a unified land model for climate, weather, hydrology, and ecology. The Community Land Model (CLM5) is an instantiation of CTSM. Configurations for Numerical Weather Prediction, hydrology, and ecology (CLM-FATES) research applications are in development and are likely to be available by the tutorial. This tutorial will use a combination of lectures and practical sessions to provide an introduction to the CTSM, including new features such as FATES, representative hillslopes, and anthropogenic land and water management practices.

Learning objectives include:

• Understanding ecological, biogeochemical, biogeophysical, and hydrologic theory underpinning the CTSM
• Running and modifying components of the CTSM
• Analyzing CTSM output

The tutorial will be taught primarily by the staff of the Terrestrial Sciences Section at NCAR and is intended for graduate students and postdocs in ecology, hydrology, environmental sciences, climate or related fields.

The application deadline for the tutorial has passed.

The cut off date for registration was 09 January 2019.
