6th Joint Training Course in Atmospheric Composition

Start Date:
Sept. 16, 2024
End Date:
Sept. 20, 2024
City:
Oslo
Country:
Norway
Region:
Europe
Description:
The main objective of the course is to provide a holistic introduction to the end-to-end processes involved in atmospheric composition monitoring and modelling. This includes state-of-the-art sensing instruments and techniques (satellite, airborne, surface); emissions inventories; modelling concepts and processes such as data assimilation and model evaluation; service provision, applications and policy needs. Other objectives of the training are to introduce participants to observation and model data and to develop participants’ skills in accessing, handling and processing this data in a variety of applications. Fostering collaboration and networking amongst participants from multiple countries and backgrounds is also a key aim of the course. The course will take place in-person and will be hosted by the Climate and Research Institute NILU. There are likely to be some online lectures scheduled prior to the in-person training.
Targeted Audience:
The course is targeted to post-graduate level students, researchers, professionals or anyone interested in furthering their knowledge of atmospheric composition monitoring and modelling and developing their practical skills in data handling. Some basic background in physics, chemistry, mathematics and computing is assumed, and elementary familiarity with Python programming would be beneficial to make the most of the training. Whilst the onsite training is limited to around 30 participants, some lectures may be streamed to a wider audience. When selecting candidates for the on-site training, participants from Copernicus contributing countries and member states of ESA and EUMETSAT are given preference. Students from all other countries are also welcome to apply, subject to availability of space.
