Introduction 

ECMWF has an extensive education and training programme to assist Member States and Co-operating States in the training of scientists in numerical weather forecasting, and in making use of the ECMWF computer facilities.

The training courses consist of modules which can be attended separately. A student may decide to attend the different modules in different years.

The programme for 2002 is as follows:

Computer User Course

A three week course in February-March on the use of ECMWF computer facilities. This course consists of five modules of varying length.

Meteorological Course

A course on numerical weather prediction and the use of ECMWF products. This course consists of five modules. Four of the five modules emphasise scientific training and one module is aimed more at forecasters or people with forecasting experience.

Seminar

A one week series of lectures dedicated to one specific topic, given in the beginning of September. The subject is different every year. In the year 2002 it is on Recent Developments in Predictability Studies.
