FORTRAN is one of the most popular programming languages for scientific coding with likes of NEMO, Unified Model and UKCA WRF, being written in FORTRAN. FORTRAN has been around for over half a century but this 1 day course, with exercises, will provide participants with sufficient knowledge to get started in writing their own codes and understanding FORTRAN written by others. Hands on exercises will help researchers understand how to use a compiler to ensure good, portable and performant FORTRAN.
