JULES short course 2016
A short, hands-on training course was held in the use of JULES directly following the Annual Science Meeting at Lancaster Environment Centre 28-29th June 2016. The course was led by Toby Marthews and included instructions from JULES users at both the Met Office and CEH. The course was aimed at all existing or potential users of JULES and provided a general guide to compiling and running the stand-alone version of the model, including explanation of the resources needed and how to interpret the output, and an overview of JULES development and version control. There was also a workshop component giving participants an opportunity to run the model themselves, following tutorial examples at their own pace, under the guidance of demonstrators.

Special thanks to: Oliver Wild for all his fantastic organisation of the venue and facilities in Lancaster; Andy Everitt at CEH Wallingford for setting up and making available to us a temporary server for use with our practical sessions; my speakers and practical preparers who assembled their material and presented them in the course all on their free time and my great Demonstrators (see photo) who put in a huge amount of work on the days helping everyone with their questions and dealing with issues and a few unforeseen problems as they arose.
