Overview
The objective of the meteorological training course is to assist Member States in advanced training in the field of numerical weather forecasting.
The course is divided into five modules as follows:
ECMWF Products |
Code | |
|
NEW DATES: 18 - 22 March 2002 |
Use and interpretation of ECMWF products (7 days) | MET OP-I |
|
This course will be repeated on (NEW DATES:) 27-31 May 2002 and on 14-18 October |
MET OP-II METOP-III | |
Numerical Weather Prediction |
||
| 8 - 12 April 2002 | Predictability, diagnostics and seasonal forecasting (5 days) | MET PR |
| 15 - 26 April 2002 | Parametrization of diabatic processes (10 days) | MET PA |
| 29 April - 9 May 2002 | Numerical methods, adiabatic formulation of models (8 days) | MET NM |
| 13- 22 May 2002 | Data assimilation and use of satellite data (8 days) | MET DA |
Requirements
Students attending the course should have a good meteorological and
mathematical background, and are expected to be familiar with the contents
of standard meteorological and mathematical textbooks. Some practical
experience in numerical weather prediction is an advantage.
All the lectures will be given in English. A set of Lecture Notes will be provided for modules on Numerical Weather Prediction.
