 s\n The first online course is structured around 6 modules:\n\nFoundation
 s of climate data\nHow do we observe the climate?\nHow do we model the cli
 mate?\nWhy do we need reanalysis?\nHow do we make future climate predictio
 ns?\nHow do we make longer-term projections?\n\n \nThe three online cours
 es are being developed by the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) as i
 mplemented by ECMWF\, and will be taught by ECMWF and European experts in
