The special "Environmental Meteorology: From the Fundamentals of Climate to Operational Applications" lecture series is a new joint initiative between the Earth System Physics group at ICTP and the Atmospherics Physics group at the University of Trento. They present the current state of research and operational implementation of all areas of weather and climate, past, present and future, and span basic theory, idealized and realistic modelling, through to applications of climate and weather in sectors that include the health, agriculture, energy and the economy.

Europe/Rome An ICTP-CLIVAR Hybrid Meeting In order to meet growing societal and scientific demand for climate information, forecasting, and prediction the ocean observing community — through CLIVAR, GOOS, and partners — have recently conducted major reviews of several regional Ocean Observing Systems (e.g. IndOOS-2, TPOS2020, TAOS). Through these reviews communities are recognising the overarching need for: (1) expansion of long-term observations into the coastal zone, where humans interact with the ocean; and (2) multi-disciplinary observing systems that better track oxygen minimum zones, the carbon cycle, and productivity. Meanwhile, the implementation and enhancement of each regional observing system is met with similar challenges: Identifying drivers, optimising design, funding expansion, developing new resources, testing new platforms and sensors, building partnerships with rim nations, capacity building, data sharing, etc. Therefore, bringing the panels together, with an emphasis on participation of developing nation scientists, would allow an exchange of problems, ideas, and solutions, enriching the efforts of each and adding up to a global perspective worth more than the sum of its parts. The workshop will bring members across different CLIVAR panels, observing system scientists and leaders together with invited speakers from developing rim nations to discuss priorities and cross-cutting strategies as well as explore new partnerships for the expansion of the regional ocean observing systems. At the workshop, participants will: Present and discuss the current most important societal and scientific drivers of each of the regional basin-wide observing systems. Hear scientists from developing countries present the scientific and societal drivers for observing their coastal oceans and discuss how their needs may interface with the regional ocean observing systems and their products. Discuss challenges, processes, and outcomes of reviewing and designing the regional observing systems for the next decade. For example, (i) the transition to more multidisciplinary observing systems (and panel membership), (ii) the need for regional-scale forecasting and expansion into the coastal zone, (iii) lobbying for resources, capacity-building, and developing partnerships, (iv) data archiving, assemblage, and sharing. Discuss how our efforts and priorities combine and how the panels can prepare together for the UN Decade. Topics: Societal and scientific drivers of regional ocean observing systems; Connect observation-modeling-prediction Multi-disciplinary and innovative observing system and expansion into coastal zones Grants: A limited number of grants are available to support the attendance of selected participants, with priority given to participants from developing countries. There is no registration fee.

Europe/Rome The South America-Flagship Pilot Study Initiative (FPS-SA) endorsed by the Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) aims to investigate multi-scale aspects, processes and interactions that result in extreme precipitation events using dynamical models (high resolution, convection permitting and coupled models) and statistical models. With focus on extreme events, the Added Value of dynamical (RCM) and statistical (ESD) downscaling is also explored. The main objective of the conference is to share and discuss results from this initiative with the South and Central American (SAM/CAM) regional modeling community, as well as lessons learned from the experience of European scientists which are relevant to advance with the FPS-SA. The conference is intended not only for researchers actively involved in the FPS- SESA but also for early career SAM/CAM scientists and researchers in the field of regional climate modeling and statistical downscaling and related applications. The conference will include a capacity-building activity focussing on regional climate modeling and the 5th generation version of the model RegCM5, which includes a new non-hydrostatic dynamical core. The activity may be taken by participants of the conference or by other scientists from SAM/CAM. The Conference will have presentations of recent results of the FPS-SESA and discussions on ongoing research activities covering the following topics: * Analysis of dynamical and statistical model results in the South America domain based on convection permitting model simulations and on several ESD methods; * Added Value of dynamical and statistical downscaling in simulating precipitation extremes in southeastern South America; * Lessons learned from the CORDEX FPS over Europe and the Mediterranean on convection permitting modeling and ESD methods: * Climate variability at regional scale influenced by local and remote forcings; * Applications in hydrological and crop models; * The FPS-SESA collaborative experience: future collaborative research and coordinated activities with focus on relevant climate phenomena in South America.

Europe/Rome A collaboration with UNESCO southern Africa regional office, this online workshop will outline how to access and process gridded climate data. Based on the eDX open-learning platform, the course will take the form of a series of pre-recorded, video-based lectures, each one focussed on a specific topic outlined below, with related exercises. The course assessment will consist of two larger assignments, which are assessed automatically. The successful completion of the assignments will lead to course certification. Once a week, the lecturer will be available for an interactive tutorial sessions to help with issues related to the course. Please note that successful completion of this course is a prerequisite for the selection process of the in-person activity "Climate data and seasonal forecast analysis techniques - II part | (smr 3747)" and related activities.
