On this page we present a set of tutorials on how to build Tethys apps. These tutorials illustrate basic concepts of Tethys app programming and are meant to compliment the main Tethys tutorials found here:
http://docs.tethysplatform.org/en/latest/tutorials.html
We recommend doing as many tutorials as you can or you may wish to read through the tutorial descriptions and select the ones that are most applicable to your experience level and the type of application you wish to support in your Tethys app(s).
The NASA GRACE mission uses a pair of satellites to map changes in the earth's gravitational field over time. These changes are primarily driven by changes in surface water and groundwater storage. In this tutorial, we build a simple app that displays a time series of water storage for selected regions. The regions are also displayed on a map.

The National Water Model provides short-, medium-, and long-term forecasts of runoff/flow at all 2.7 million stream reaches in the United States. This tutorial illustrates how to process NWM output using an API associated with another Tethys app to generate predicted hydrographs for selected stream reaches.
