This course is being conducted for the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) and is not open to the public. For more information, please contact info@comet.ucar.edu.

This course site accompanies The University of Oklahoma's Synoptic Meteorology Lab (METR 4424).  Background materials and interactive laboratory exercises, including pre-lab activities, will be available for most course topics.  Tentative topics covered will include the following: kinematic analysis, frontal circulations, jetstreaks, application of quasi-geostrophic theory to analysis & diagnosis, isentropic analysis, and the structure and life cycle of midlatitude cyclones.  

Paid registration at the link below is required to access the course.  Registration is limited to those with emails verified as students enrolled in METR 4424 during Fall 2016.


This is the course support site for the 2016 CESM Tutorial hosted at NCAR's Mesa Lab in Boulder, CO.

The 5-day, instructor-led tutorial will contain lectures on simulating the climate system as well as practical sessions on running the CESM model, modifying its components, and analyzing data. The course is targeted toward a graduate student level.

Suggested pre-requisite activities include completion of a Unix tutorial module and Basic Programming and Fortran module, both sponsored by UCAR's COMET Program, before 8 August 2015.


The COMET Program and the Climate Change and Water Working Group (CCAWWG) are pleased to announce the second Sedimentation Impacts Under Climate Change (SIUCC) course. The course is being offered with financial support from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. The SIUCC course is part of Professional Development Series, "Assessing Natural Systems Impacts under Climate Change.”

Description:

In this three-day, instructor-led, online course, participants will explore a method to scope, conduct, and document an assessment of impacts from a changing climate on watershed and channel sedimentation.  Lessons in the course will focus on the sedimentation processes: production, delivery, and deposition within a river system. The course will give the students the tools to apply existing watershed erosion models and in-channel sediment transport models to conditions under climate change.

The COMET Program, Bureau of Reclamation, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are pleased to announce the first offering of the residence course called  Integrating Climate Change into Longer-term Water Resources Planning and Environmental Compliance. The course is part of the COMET/CCAWWG Professional Development Series Integrating Climate Change Adaptation into Water and Environmental Resources Management.

The 2.5-day course runs from the morning of May 2, 2016 to noon on Wednesday, May 4.

Participants will learn a framework for incorporating climate change information into longer-term water resources planning and environmental compliance studies; how to apply the framework to specific study types, such as  planning for drought, flood risk reduction, and species recovery; and how to communicate it to management and stakeholders. 

The course primarily targets lead planners, plan formulators, project managers, and resource specialists who lead or implement water resources planning or environmental compliance studies. It is also useful for policy developers, decision makers, regulatory specialists, public affairs staff, line managers, and program managers who also engage in these efforts.

People taking this course should have a basic understanding of how weather and hydrology relates to water management; be familiar with water resources planning and/or environmental compliance processes; and have experience with developing project workplans.

The course is sponsored by the COMET Program, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and Climate Change and Water Working Group (CCAWWG). It has been developed with financial support from the Bureau of Reclamation and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. 


This course is offered in partnership with the Meteorological Service of Canada. Attendance is by invitation only. For more information, please email info@comet.ucar.edu
