Training course: A hands-on introduction to Numerical Weather Prediction Models: Understanding and Experimenting

16 May - 20 May 2022

Registration closes: 29 October 2021 : See: https://events.ecmwf.int/event/279/

This five-day course will draw on numerical weather prediction expertise from across ECMWF and provide an overview of the ECMWF model, while giving hands-on sessions to give you confidence to carry out your own experimentation with the OpenIFS model (or the IFS).

It is an opportunity to learn about:

  • the building blocks of the NWP model (physics and dynamics);
  • how to work with the output and input GRIB data and visualise it;
  • technical aspects of compiling and running model code efficiently.

The example timetable shows the online 4-day course run in 2021.
