Climate challenges are now experienced globally on a daily basis, and the observation and analysis of data play a crucial role. Don’t miss this series of seminars that will guide participants through the fields of observation, statistical analysis, and data assimilation in numerical models to understand the climate of the past, present, and future.
A morning of seminars organized by the Department of Physics at the University of Salerno and the Institute of Methodologies for Environmental Analysis (IMAA) of the National Research Council of Italy (CNR), aimed at students, researchers, lectures, and all those within the academic community interested in deepening their knowledge of climate-related topics.
The scheduled seminars are:
- Long-term Earth Observations: Getting the Most from These Rich Datasets
Dr. Elizabeth Weatherhead, University of Colorado - Understanding Climate through Big Data: Observations, Models, and Future Challenges
Dr. Paul Poli, Senior Scientist, European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) - How Well Can We Quantify When 1.5°C of Global Warming Has Been Exceeded?
Prof. Peter Thorne, Director, ICARUS (Irish Climate Analysis and Research Units), Maynooth University, Lead Author – IPCC Working Group I (AR6) - How Much Can We Learn About Measurement Accuracy from Observation Minus Background Departure Statistics Left Over by Climate Reanalyses?
Prof. Leopold Haimberger, Department of Meteorology and Geophysics, University of Vienna
Participation is free and open, but registration is mandatory by June 26th at the following link: https://forms.gle/9QdKeP39TCyRTYPQ9
