National Initiatives

An Initiative for Meteorological Services professionals

Capacity-building initiatives organized to transfer the know-how on advanced Meteorology, Climatology and Climate change.

The short-term courses intended to provide national professionals with high-level innovative knowledge and skills on the most advanced technologies for meteorology, on the basics of climate dynamics, and on the most recent advances in climate change.
Topics covered include climate change causes, effects, solutions, development of climate services, use of resources available at international Institutions like Copernicus, IRI/LDEO, ESA, Eumetsat, among others.

 

 

The courses, in Italian, are organized by the World Meteorological Organization Regional Training Center in Italy, operated by the Institute of BioEconomy of the National Research Council in order to respond to the training needs of the regional meteorological offices operating in Italy at local level.

Seasonal Forecast
Course Package

A course package to share training resources.

A joint initiative of World Meteorological Organization and CNR-IBE, with the collaboration of MeteoSwiss.

What is it

T.O.P. Seasonal Forecast is a shared set of online resources to enhance knowledge in the theory of seasonal forecasting and operational use of seasonal climate forecasts.

About

The training materials

T.O.P. is based on the training materials produced for face-to-face-to-face courses organized from 2014-17. Created by acknowledged researchers and scholars for RTC Italy training initiatives, they have been reorganized in a new structure, partially re-edited, and enriched with videos and other documentations. These resources can be used by other trainers to develop their own courses.

goal

The goal of the online course is to allow seasonal climate forecast knowledge transfer to increase operational capabilities of the targeted users. It provides theoretical and practical set of knowledge on seasonal forecast and predictability models, climate and data analysis, forecast verification, and specific application of seasonal forecast for agriculture and water management.

The Training content

  • Identify and manipulate seasonal forecast products and related information suitable for their specific interests
  • Set up a verification analysis both for probabilistic and deterministic forecasts
  • Identify proper strategies to transform model outputs into climate services for specific applications

The Structure

The course package includes model outline with learning objectives, case studies, in-depth studies, quizzes, structured bibliography, readings.

01.

The Modules Structure

On the basis of previous training experiences, the project team defined the course modules structure to better respond to user learning needs

02.

Selection and Analysis

The training materials from previous courses were selected and analyzed to fit the best set of resources for each module.

03.

Training Materials

Slide presentations, with audio or annotated comments, videos, documents.

The Course Package is organized in modules where each module contains a group of lessons focusing a specific topic.

  • Learning Objective
  • Lessons
  • Exercises / Tutorials
  • Case Studies
  • Learning Activities
  • Supplemental Resources

/audience /learners

This course is designed for forecasters and climatologists with knowledge on general meteorology as well as physical and dynamic meteorology. 

The course package addresses National hydro-meteorological service staff members who wish to improve climate services competencies or to specialize in Seasonal Forecasting. TOP provides theoretical and practical knowledge on seasonal forecast and predictability models, climate and data analysis, forecast verification, and specific application of seasonal forecast for agriculture and water management. 

To meet heterogeneous needs of the learners, each course unit will illustrate the prerequisites and will propose external resources to fill knowledge gaps.

Some of this content will be covered briefly in the context of offering more specific expertise in climate predictions.

This approach will provide learners with a personalised learning path based on their interaction with learning components, following the idea that it is more effective to take into account different levels and needs rather than “one size fits all”.

Pre-requisite Knowledge

  • Basic knowledge of the structure of the atmosphere, ranges of surface pressure and temperature
  • Basic understanding of atmospheric dynamics and thermodynamics
  • The general circulation of the atmosphere and oceans​
  • Weather analysis and forecasting
  • Basic knowledge of remote sensing data
  • Goal & Outcomes

WMO
Competency Framework

According to the Climate Services Competency Framework approved by the WMO Executive Council of June 2016, the training course addresses the Competency 3:

Create and/or interpret climate forecasts, climate projections and model output, and more specifically the following Performance Criteria.

  • Locate, select and retrieve climate forecasts and climate models output generated by Regional Climate Centers, Global Producing Centers and other institution
  • Create sub-seasonal, seasonal and longer scale forecast products
  • Apply statistical and geostatistical analysis, including downscaling, to monitor the spatial distribution and temporal evolution of model output
  • Evaluate the performance of climate models output and quantify the associated uncertainties
  • Create value-added products, such as graphics, maps and reports to communicate climate forecasts and climate model information
