This tutorial is based on UM8.2. While some aspects of the UM and UMUI will be different from the version of the UM you will be using, many things are the same. The UKCA source code at UM8.2 is very similar to that at UM7.3.

More detailed information on UKCA can be found in the Pdficon small.png UKCA documentation paper for vn8.2 of the MetUM Info circle.png.
