Weather Forecasting Course (06/03/12)


Posted: 06 March 2012

An intensive one-week course in practical weather forecasting gets under way during the week 5-9 March 2012 in the UCD Meteorology & Climate Centre. This course forms part of the post-graduate module in Synoptic Meteorology (ACM 40540).

Gerry Fleming and Evelyn Cusack of Met Éireann are teaching the course, in collaboration with Peter Lynch and Conor Sweeney of the UCD School of Mathematical Sciences.

The course covers the application of dynamical and physical meteorology and numerical weather prediction to the problems of practical weather forecasting. It involves theoretical lectures and practical laboratory sessions.

The course gives students an excellent opportunity to apply their knowledge in a practical context, and to learn first-hand the issues and problems of operational forecasting. They will visit

The RTE weather studio and prepare and present forecasts on-screen during the course.
