UN/Austria Symposium 2023 | Space for climate action training
Training on Use of Data from Copernicus Climate Change and
Atmosphere Monitoring Services
Registration closed
Training provider: The Copernicus Climate Change Service, implemented by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF)
Description: This course introduces the Copernicus Climate Change ( C3S) and Atmosphere Monitoring ( CAMS) Services and demonstrates how to access and process free data from both services. C3S provides authoritative information about the past, present and future climate, as well as tools to enable climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies by policy makers and businesses. CAMS provides consistent and quality-controlled information related to air pollution and health, solar energy, greenhouse gases and climate forcing, everywhere in the world. Both C3S and CAMS are operational services of the Copernicus Programme and all data and information products are freely available.
Objective: By the end of this training, attendees will be able to:
- Understand the various datasets provided by C3S and CAMS
- Access this data using both a web interface and an API
- Follow processing workflows to manipulate, visualize and interpret selected climate and atmosphere datasets.
Format: The course is structured as follows:
[5 mins] Introduction to C3S
[5 mins] Introduction to CAMS
[30 mins] Live demonstration of data access through the Climate (CDS) and Atmosphere (ADS) Data Stores, and basic processing using Jupyter notebooks.
[20 mins] Q&A
Date and time: Wednesday, 4 October 2023, 12:00 - 13:00 UTC (14:00 - 15:00 CEST)
