The WCRP School on Climate Prediction Across Timescales is designed for early career researchers and advanced students interested in climate prediction science and its applications. It will address the key challenges of producing, assessing, and integrating forecasts from sub-seasonal to inter-decadal timescales.

The School will host 30 graduate students, postdocs, and early-career professionals in climate-related fields who have a basic background in climate science or statistics, some programming experience (ideally in Python), and an interest in climate services or operational prediction. The school will be taught in English.

Topics

• Preprocessing forecasts
