+
+[![Binder](http://binder.projectpythia.org/badge_logo.svg)](http://binder.projectpythia.org/v2/gh/openradar/asean2024-pyrad-course/main)
+
+
+## Motivation
+
+This content will be used for the Pyrad short Course held at the WMO/ASEAN Weather Radar Workshop 2024.
+
+## Authors
+
+Jordi Figueras I Ventura, Daniel Wolfensberger
+
+## Running the Notebooks
+
+You can either run the notebook using [Binder](https://mybinder.org/) or on your local machine.
+
+### Running on Binder
+
+The simplest way to interact with a Jupyter Notebook is through
+[Binder](https://mybinder.org/), which enables the execution of a
+[Jupyter Book](https://jupyterbook.org) in the cloud. The details of how this works are not
+important for now. All you need to know is how to launch a Pythia
+Cookbooks chapter via Binder. Simply navigate your mouse to
+the top right corner of the book chapter you are viewing and click
+on the rocket ship icon, (see figure below), and be sure to select
+“launch Binder”. After a moment you should be presented with a
+notebook that you can interact with. I.e. you’ll be able to execute
+and even change the example programs. You’ll see that the code cells
+have no output at first, until you execute them by pressing
+{kbd}`Shift`\+{kbd}`Enter`. Complete details on how to interact with
+a live Jupyter notebook are described in [Getting Started with
+Jupyter](https://foundations.projectpythia.org/foundations/getting-started-jupyter.html).
+
+### Running on Your Own Machine
+
+If you are interested in running this material locally on your computer, you will need to follow this workflow:

+    git clone https://github.com/openradar/asean2024-pyrad-course.git
+   ```
+
+1. Move into the `asean2024-pyrad-course` directory
+   ```bash
+   cd asean2024-pyrad-course
+   ```
+1. Create and activate your conda environment from the `environment.yml` file
