Short Courses Overview
The set of courses listed in this module are suggested shorter courses that you can use based on the time you have available. The course times provided are estimates only and allow for questions and discussions that may arise. We suggest that you allow an extra hour on top of the course time for initial software download and setup, and download of the sample data. The short courses are as follows:
- Mini Course (< 60 mins) — Brief introduction to the CoastWatch Utilities, demonstration of both CDAT and two command line tools (suggested for a meeting demo). Add more command line tools or CDAT functionality if time allows.
- Short Course (< 1 day) — Full introduction to the CoastWatch Utilities and full run through of basic CDAT + some advanced CDAT features, three command line tools (no data processing).
- Medium Course (1-2 days) — Full introduction, full basic + most advanced CDAT features, extensive command line tools for both data extraction and processing, limited assignments.
We expect the full course to require 3 or more days to complete all units and exercises with time for assignments, breaks and discussions.
