\\
== Beginners ==

=== 1. Convection between plates ===
Simulation of a convective boundary layer between two uniformly heated/cooled plates with zero mean flow ([attachment:exercise_cbl.pdf details]).

=== 2. Heterogeneously heated convective boundary layer (with user code) ===
Simulation of a convective boundary layer with a heterogeneously heated surface, defined in the user code ([attachment:exercise_interface.pdf details]).

=== 3. Restart runs ===
Simulation of manual or automatic job chains, i.e. starting a simulation based on the final meteorological state of a previous simulation ([attachment:example_restart.pdf details]).

=== 4. Cumulus cloud with bulk cloud physics ===
Simulation of a marine, cumulus-topped, trade-wind-region boundary layer ([attachment:exercise_cumulus.pdf details]).

\\
== Advanced == 

=== 1. LITFASS 2003 ===
This example shows the development of the convective boundary layer in the presence of irregular distributed surface heterogeneities in the LITFASS region on two days (May 30 and June 13, 2003) ([wiki:doc/tut/examples/2012_maronga_LITFASS2003 details]). 

=== 2. DYCOMS ===
With this example stratocumulus-topped boundary layers can be studied ([wiki:doc/tut/examples/2013_heinze_DYCOMS details]). 

=== 3. BOMEX ===
With this example trade wind cumulus convection under steady-state conditions can be studied ([wiki:doc/tut/examples/2013_heinze_BOMEX details]).
