This webinar is the first in a series organised by the Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA). The hour long session will focus on how new users can ‘get started’ on JASMIN*, covering the following topics:

• What can JASMIN be used for

• Setting up your JASMIN account

• How to set up your SSH keys (to login)

• Request a login account
