titleConvection (1)

Description

Convection affects all atmospheric scales. Therefore, the convection session aims to provide a deeper understanding of the atmospheric general circulation and its interaction with convective heating and vertical transports. The notions and techniques acquired during the course should be useful for developers of convective parametrizations, forecasters and for analysing output from high-resolution convection resolving models.

Learning objectives

  • Describe the difference between Tropical and Midlatitude convective processes
  • Describe the diurnal cycle of convection
  • Apply the theory of bouyancy and CAPE to diagnose a convective situation on a tephigram
  • Describe the interaction between the large-scale circulation and the convection including  radiative-convective equilibrium and convectively-coupled large-scale waves

Audience

Post-graduate researchers, forecasters

titleIntroduction to Metview

Description

Metview is a meteorological workstation application designed to be a complete working environment for both the operational and research meteorologist. Its capabilities include powerful data access, processing and visualisation. The module introduces basics concepts and it shows how to retrieve data from MARS using Metview, perform some basic manipulations and plot the result.

Learning objectives

By the end of the module, participants will be able to retrieve data from ECMWF meteorological archive, manipulate the data and plot them.

Audience

Forecasters, product developer, weather providers

titleecFlow

Description

The aim of this tutorial is to introduce ecFlow functionalities by building a simple suite. Complexity is introduced gradually.

Each page of the tutorial introduces a new concept and provides a list of exercises to complete. Links to relevant ecFlow documentation is also provided.

Learning objectives

By the end of the module, participants will be familiar with ecFlow functionalities and will be able to build simple suites.

Audience

Technical staff, IT developers

titleIntroduction to MARS

Description

ECMWF's Meteorological Archival and Retrieval System (MARS) constitutes a unique approach to meteorological data storage and retrieval technology by making vast quantities of meteorological data accessible to thousands of organisations and individuals. The module introduces the archive, data terminology and MARS language.

Learning objectives

By the end of the module, participants will be able to build their own data requests including simple data manipulation.

Audience

Programmers and researchers who need to retrieve ECMWF data from MARS
