Mars Climate Modeling Center (MCMC) Virtual Modeling Tutorial

The Mars Climate Modeling Center at NASA Ames Research Center will host a virtual modeling tutorial January 26-29, 2027.

The tutorial will contain three parts.

The first part will focus on teaching users how to interact with and download model output using the MCMC’s Model Webserver, an online tool that interfaces with publicly available Mars GCM output on the NAS Data Portal.

The second part guides users through analyzing model output with the Community Analysis Pipeline (CAP), an open-source python-based analysis toolkit accessed via the command line.

The third part will delve into the FV3-based Mars GCM, explaining how to download, install, set up, and run the model for custom simulations. The tutorial will include lectures and hands-on sessions using the Science Cloud: https://smce.nasa.gov/

Access to the Science Cloud will be provided. Students, teachers, and researchers with a range of numerical modeling experiences are encouraged to participate. The number of participants we can accommodate is limited to 25, and we will be accepting registrants on a first-come-first-served basis.
