The platform group at IPSL Climate Modelling Centre gives a two-day training course (in English) about how to use the IPSL models and the tools to configure and manage them. This training start with a general introduction to the model and environment on the first morning and move to practicals that participants could choose according to there level and interest. The courses are given at IDRIS computing center, in a specific classroom equipped by computers. For hands-on session we have a special allocation on their super computer.
See below the description, presentation and exercises of the latest training courses. For the next session, the material will evolve to a more hands-on session.
Basic training course to learn how to use modipsl and libIGCM. This course is for beginners and for people who want to refresh their memory.

Hands on exercises : The exercises are done at temporary training account at ada IDRIS but most of the exercises can also be done at TGCC(curie) or LSCE(obelix). Download the hands on exercises here : training_exercises_nov2018.pdf.
Registration in advance to the courses are needed. This is necessary to have entrance access at IDRIS where the courses are given.
How to come to IDRIS

The training course in running environment of IPSL models will be given 14th - 15th of January 2020 at IDRIS in Orsay (91).
This 2-days course is for beginners and advanced users. It will be mostly hands-on sessions that participant could select according to his or her level and interest. The program for these two days is: a general overview of the IPSL environment and tools such as modipsl/libIGCM, and then practicals work about how to launch a simulation, the post-processing step, how to best follow a simulation, repair errors, verify and redo post-treatment, ensemble of simulation, NEMO...
Additional information :
In addition to the global environment and tools training sessions, there are specific sessions for each component.
There is one training session per year just after the IPSL tools and environment one.
All informations about that could be found on the specific Orchidee webpage.
There is a one week session specificaly about the IPSL Atmospheric model LMDZ at the beginning of December.
All informations are available on the LMDZ webpage.
There is no official training session for NEMO model but there are every 1 or 2 years the NEMO users meeting.
Have you just started your PhD and do you easily get lost in front of a terminal? Would you like to learn core tools and become more productive in your research?
In a daily-based climate science work, there exists a wide range of tools used to simplify scientific work. They are well known by the community, but might be not at all for a beginning PhD student. At the same time, supervisors do not usually have time to introduce them to their students ...
The `IPSL Boot camp' pretends to amend this issue. The course will provide a first approach to a bunch of well known and useful tools such as: NetCDF tools (nco, cdo, ncdump...), Python, Ferret, Unix commands, Bash and Shell scripts, Vi and Emacs, Version control (Svn) ... to any one who has never known about them.
A small group of IPSL researchers and engineers will provide a first touch to anyone within the IPSL who might require it. Short tutorials, practical exercises and live coding are the main ingredients of this very first introductory sessions of core tools that can simplify your research work.
