At least once a year, we are hosting the 5-day seminar ''An Introduction to the Large-Eddy Simulation Model PALM'', which covers all the above-mentioned topics (Class of February 2020 in Fig. 1).\\\\ }}} {{{#!td align=left style="border: none; vertical-align:top; width: 50%" [[Image(palm_seminar_2020.jpg, width=600px, border=2, link=attachment)]]\\ Fig 1: PALM seminar group February 2020 at IMUK, Leibniz University Hannover.

The respective PDF presentations are available as attachments below ([#normal normal] and [#handout handout] version). At the '''PALM seminar September 2020''' in Hannover, we were working with PALM revision number r4664. The PALM code is currently under development.
