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 modules as follows:
ECMWF Products and the Use of ECMWF Products |
Code | |
| 15 - 19 March 2004 | Use and interpretation of ECMWF products (5 days) | MET OP-I |
| 7 - 11 June 2004 | Use and interpretation of ECMWF products (5 days) | MET OP-II |
|
11 - 15 October 2004 |
Use and interpretation of ECMWF products for WMO members (5 days) | MET OP-WMO |
Numerical Weather Prediction |
||
| 22 March - 1 April 2004 | Parametrization of diabatic processes (9 days) | MET PA |
| 19 - 28 April 2004 | Numerical methods, adiabatic formulation of models (8 days) | MET NM |
| 5 - 14 May 2004 | Data assimilation and use of satellite data (8 days) | MET DA |
| 17 - 21 May 2004 | Predictability, diagnostics and seasonal forecasting (5 days) | MET PR |
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.
