Classes

The CMAS Center offers quarterly training classes on supported software. Classes will be offered in conjunction with our annual CMAS Conference, as well as three other times during the year. Register for an upcoming class.

Training classes are available for the following CMAS-supported software:

• CMAQ Class
• SMOKE Class
• BenMAP Class
• MM5 V3 Tutorial Class

The training consists of classroom sessions and lab sessions. The training is currently based on UNIX scripts. Trainees without any UNIX knowledge will struggle with this course, although a basic introduction to UNIX is included. Students in this situation are encouraged to learn some basic UNIX on their own before the class. For the SMOKE and CMAQ trainings, we use 13 IBM Red Hat Linux Thinkpad laptops

Training Location

Please pay close attention to the training location associated with each training date. Most trainings are offered at the CMAS Training Facility at UNC-Chapel Hill, but training sessions offered around the annual CMAS Conference will be held at the Conference location (Friday Center of UNC), and the BenMap training is offered at the EPA Building C. Training courses can also be conducted off site, provided that appropriate facilities are available and there are an adequate number of interested students. For more information about off-site training, please email cmas@unc.edu and explain your training situation and needs.
