3rd VALUE Training School: Spatial and Temporal Variability in Statistical and Dynamical Downscaling

Administration

Description

The school comprises different modules, containing lectures and practical applications. Starting with an introduction to climate modelling and different downscaling approaches, focus will be given to spatial and temporal variability in statistical and dynamical downscaling. Methods for validating spatial and temporal aspects will be discussed. 
PLEASE NOTE:
- Participants are requested to present their own research in a short presentation (3 slides, 5 minutes) on Monday afternoon.
