Climate Model Analysis

CLIMATE MODEL ANALYSIS

Registrations for the 'Climate Model Analysis' Training Program will be accepted. Training will begin if the sufficient number of trainees (4-10 people) is reached.

INTRODUCTION

Environmental concerns have become increasingly important in our world. Much of this is because not only does society affect its natural environment—but our natural environment affects us as well. Perhaps the best example of this scenario is the phenomenon of global climate change and the social, ethical, economic, and political as well as environmental consequences that will result from it. Possible consequences are realized in future climate projections produced by climate models.
Students gain analysis skills in climate model output data. Here, an overview of existing climate model data and their differences is given. The binary format of the data is discussed, and how and with which software tools they can be analyzed is introduced. They learn about the global climate system by solving exercises using the software.
After following this class, students:
- know the climate data availability, how to access them and their format
- know and apply the software tools to analyze climate model data
- gain insights into the analysis of the global climate system

Students gain competencies in climate science and learn to communicate in the English language.
