1. Make a personal wiki with pages where you will keep your course work (5-6 homeworks, your projects (link), and your Project).
2. On your homework 0 page, upload a figure you made in Matlab (or Python or IDL or R or ...) using any data you like (or a random number generator). Intro to matlab from last year's course. You may use figure export (although it sometimes makes huge files), or learn the power of the humble screen capture (Cmd-ctrl-$, a 4-button action, is a favorite Mac trick!).
Include your code on the page. Explain what you're showing us.
Please use this opportunity to learn (and teach the rest of us!) something, show me where your starting skill/experience level is, and perhaps set a friendly challenge for others and your future self. We will look at them together in class on Thursday.

FIG. 1: In order to see how well each of 12 individual CMIP5 long-term current-climate "historical" global model simulations capture the precipitation spatial patterns over Florida, for the years 1901-2005, using the GPCC v5 observational precipitation (rain-gauge-based) data set as reference, two-dimensional scatter plots are created, for the region of Florida, of the two-dimensional spatial correlation coefficient versus the two-dimensional spatial centered root-mean-square (RMS) difference, in units of mm / day, plotted for each model, for each of the four seasons, and for the entire year. In addition, the 1961-2005 CanCM4, 1948-2006 NOAA CPC v1, 1998-2009 TRMM 3B42 v6, and the 1901-2005 mean of the CMIP5 models are also plotted.
