 '''Material of the FLEXPART V10.3 training: 1-3 July 2019'''
 
-The material consist of presentations from the lectures and exercises, files needed per exercise and one recording. 
-Beside this, there is the bashrc file that was used for this course, a script to download GFS data, a script to generate an AVAILABLE file and a script to process and plot the output (for tracer, nuclear and volcanic simulations). 
+The course material including slides and software can be  [download:65 downloaded here].
 
-The course was given with Flexpart version 10.3, but should be forward compatible.

+The material consists of
+1. presentations (PDF) from the lectures and exercises,
+2. files needed per exercise and
+3. one mp4 file (video recording of the lecture on flex_extract). As it is quite big, you need to download it separately from https://www.flexpart.eu/downloads/67
+Beside this, there is
+1. a script to download GFS data,
+2. a script to generate AVAILABLE files and
+3. a script to process and plot the output (for tracer, nuclear and volcanic simulations).
+
+We recommend using ECMWF data, whose retrieval is explained in the flex_extract lecture and exercise. However, results obtained with GFS data are
+also included in this course. All is written in Python 2.7 or Fortran 90.
+
+FLEXPART V10 requires the following Linux packages:
+gcc with gfortran, including development files
+grib_api
+netcdf including the Fortran library and e(optional)
+netcdf4 including the Fortran library and development files(optional)
+
+The course material was prepared using flexpart_v10.3.1_3cd0f17 and

-We recommend using ECMWF data, of which the retrieval is explained in the lecture and exercise on flex_extract. However, results obtained with GFS data are also included in this course.
 
-This FLEXPART V10.3 was installed with the provided bashrc, listing the following packages:

-grib_api/1.12.3
-hdf5/1.8.15
-netcdf/4.3.3.1
 
-If you work in a bash shell and you do not have a tailored bashrc file yet: save the bashrc file to your home directory and rename it by added a dot in front: .bashrc. If you already have a tailored bashrc or do not work in bash: check if you have the listed packages.
