It is a not-for-credit series for Atmospheric Science students, staff & faculty who are interested in learning FORTRAN at various levels, including beginner programming basics, through intermediate and advanced topics, into makefiles and concluding with running codes in parallel.

This seminar series will again run in 2012:
