MELODIES Tutorial 2024
We will have short lectures introducing various components of MELODIES MONET, followed by hands-on exercises. The afternoon of the 2nd day will allow extended time to work on advanced topics or add new model results and observations. This agenda may change, depending on the interests of participants.
We assume participants have some basic knowledge of Python and programming. Although you don't need to know Python to use MELODIES MONET, it can be beneficial, and needed to contribute to development.
