===== CST-317: Introduction to Earth System Modelling (INPE Course 2013) =====

Professors: [[http://www.dpi.inpe.br/gilberto|Gilberto Câmara]], Pedro R. Andrade

===== Software Description  =====

The models described in this course will be developed using [[http://www.terrame.org | TerraME]]. TerraME is an extension of the [[http://www.lua.org|Lua]] language. Some useful documents about TerraME:

  * {{http://www.dpi.inpe.br/gilberto/cursos/cst-317-2013/luaforterrame-version2.pdf|Lua for TerraME: A Short Introduction}}
  * {{http://www.dpi.inpe.br/gilberto/papers/terrame_ems_post_print.pdf|TerraME paper on EMS journal}}
  * [[http://www.lua.org/spe.html| Introduction to Lua]]

Students should read the TerraME EMS paper first, to get a sense of the language. Then they should read the Lua papers, to learn about programming in Lua.
