Introduction for new users, including MARS
Dates for 2015: 2-6 March (course code: COM-INTRO)
GRIB API: library and tools
Dates for 2015: 24-27, February (course code: COM-GRIBAPI)
GRIB API is a GRIB decoding/encoding software developed at ECMWF. It supports GRIB edition 1 and 2 with the same function calls and has both a Fortran interface and C interface.
A useful set of command line tools is also included which provide an easy way to access and modify information contained in a GRIB message. As the GRIB API design is based on a key/value approach, the aim of this module is to provide information about the keys available and the way to use them with the GRIB API library and tools.ecFlow
Dates for 2015: 11-13, February (course code: COM-ecFlow)
This course provides an introduction to ecFlow.
ecFlow is a work-flow package that enables users to run a large number of programs, which may have dependencies on one another and in time, in a controlled environment with reasonable tolerance of both hardware and software failures, combined with good restart capabilities. Users communicate with ecFlow using the shell level interface, Python API, or via the graphical user interface (ecFlowview).
HPCF (Use of Cray system)
Dates for 2015: 13-17, April (course code: COM-HPCF)
Data analysis and visualisation using Metview
Dates for 2015: 9-13, March (course code: COM-VIS)
This course provides an introduction to using Metview for the analysis, post-processing and visualisation of meteorological data stored in different formats. It will cover both interactive analysis and batch usage, following the workflow from the prototyping of data and graphical products to routinely generating them in a scheduling system. Case studies will be used to put these features into a practical context.
Use and Interpretation of ECMWF products
NOTE: if you have been accepted for the course apply for a login UserID and password here
Dates for 2015: 26-30, January (course code: MET-INT1)
2-6, February (course code: MET-INT2)
5-7, October (course code: MET-INT3)
This course provides theoretical background information on ECMWF forecasting system and hands on experience in using ECMWF meteorological products both in the forecasting room and in making more informed decisions when weather plays a key role.
The course is open to forecasters/managers/researchers from National Meteorological Services of its own Member and Cooperating States. The centre point of the practical sessions is a real weather event which is examined with the help of meteorological forecast products. The course focus on medium, monthly and seasonal forecast ranges.
