UKCA Chemistry and Aerosol Tutorials at vn11.8 using Rose & Cylc
The following tutorials will teach you how to use various aspects of UKCA, and the parts of Rose (the Unified Model's python-based user interface) that are specific to UKCA.
Please read through the "Things to know before you start" page before continuing
Please work through the UKCA Tutorials below at your own pace. They should take between 8 and 14 hours to complete, but don't worry if you take more or less time than this.
| # | Difficulty | Time to Complete | Topic |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | EASY | Under 30 minutes | Running an existing UKCA Suite |
| 2 | EASY | Under 30 minutes | Exploring Rose |
| 3 | EASY | Under 30 minutes | What is STASH? |
| 4 | HARD | 1-2 hours | Adding new chemical tracers |
| 5 | HARD | 1-2 hours | Adding new emissions |
| 6 | MEDIUM | 30-60 minutes | Adding new chemical reactions |
| 7 | MEDIUM | 30-60 minutes | Adding dry deposition of chemical species |
| 8 | EASY | Under 30 minutes | Adding wet deposition of chemical species |
| 9 | HARD | 1-2 hours | Adding new UKCA chemical diagnostics |
| 10 | HARD | 1-2 hours | Examining Aerosol Impacts |
| 11 | HARD | 1-2 hours | Worked Example: Developing a change for submission to the trunk |
These tutorials are an update and expansion of the tutorials which were at UM8.2, UM8.4, UM10.4, and UM10.9.
This tutorial has been funded by the NERC Advanced Training: Short Courses award scheme and the ACITES Atmospheric Chemistry Modelling Network.
