Forecasts on sub-seasonal to inter-decadal timescales have a diverse range of applications in climate services, including disaster preparedness, and short- mid- and long-term planning. However, the complexity of methods, uncertainty assessment and ways to merge forecasts across timescales presents a significant knowledge and skill gap. The Summer School on Climate Prediction Across Timescales aims to address these gaps, and it is, designed for early-career researchers and advanced students interested in the science and application of climate predictions. The school will offer foundational and advanced lectures in the mornings and interactive, hands-on lab sessions in the afternoons.

Objectives and outcomes

  • Foster understanding of key concepts including predictability, forecast skill, sources of predictability, and cross-timescale interactions

  • Provide an overview of novel tools to determine the predictability and assess forecast skill.Introduce emerging tools in machine learning and AI for forecasting.

  • Develop practical skills through interactive lab sessions focused on real data

Participants will:

  • Gain new theoretical and technical skills

  • Engage in group discussions and applied exercises with real (i.e. not synthetic) da

The target audience of the school is: Graduate students and postdocs in atmospheric, climate, and data sciences; and junior researchers and professionals working in climate services or operational prediction.
