This tutorial teaches you about the design of PALM, and how to ...
- carry out runs with PALM for different meteorological scenarios.
- use specific parts of the model, such as the embedded particle model or topography.
- understand and analyse the PALM output data.
- add user-defined code to the model.
- debug errors.

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).\\\\

If you cannot make it to the seminar, you could self-study the contents by following the time schedule of this years' PALM seminar (Fig. 2). The respective PDF presentations are available as attachments below ([#normal normal] and [#handout handout] version). At the '''PALM webinar October 2021''', we were working with PALM release 21.10-rc.2. The PALM Model System can be downloaded [https://gitlab.palm-model.org/releases/palm_model_system/-/releases here]\\\\
