Training · ECMWF Events (Indico)

Registration for training courses in October and November 2023 is open.

All courses take place in-person in Reading (UK).

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 forecast products.

Meteorology

Our advanced training courses in numerical weather prediction (NWP) will give participants an understanding of the underpinning science as well as current research developments. These courses are aimed at scientists working with NWP systems.

The "Use and interpretation of ECMWF products" courses focus on the operational aspects of the ECMWF forecasting system. Their aim is to increase the participant's ability to examine and assess ECMWF output products. It is directed towards those who are (or will be) using ECMWF products either directly as forecasting staff or in research and development work.

For those interested in the ECMWF Data Assimilation trainings, please note the UK National Centre for Earth Observation (NCEO) and the University of Reading will run a data assimilation training course from 9- 12 May 2023. This free course will take place in the University of Reading, just down the road from where the ECMWF trainings will be held, in the week prior to the ECMWF data assimilation courses. For more information, please visit https://research.reading.ac.uk/met-darc/training/training-courses/darc-nceo-da-2023/
