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:

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.
