APCC is hosting a training program in 2013 on “Producing High Resolution Climate Information: Scientific Basis and Application” and is now inviting applications until 30 April, 2013. The training program aims to enhance downscaling skills by building in-depth understanding of dynamical and statistical downscaling for various sectors and periods through the 1-week program.

Participants who successfully complete the training program will receive a certificate of completion. The program will be taught by a highly qualified and diverse team of scientists.

Program Information :

Period : 19(Mon) – 24(Sat), August, 2013

Location : APCC, Busan, Korea

Topic :

• Introduction to Dynamical Downscaling
• Introduction to Statistical Downscaling
• Applications of Statistical Downscaling (Drought/Hydrology/Agriculture)
• Applications of Dynamical Downscaling (Short-term/Seasonal/Climate Change)
• Improvement of Dynamical Downscaling (Bias Correction/Nudging/Physics)
• Hands-on session on GRIMs

APCC will financially support participants’ airfare, accommodation and per-diem. Please visit APCC website for checking qualifications and required documents. The applications will be accepted by 30 April, 2013 via email to swmoon@apcc21.org.
