The Capacity Center for Climate and Weather Extremes (C3WE/MMM) and
the Institute for Mathematics Applied to Geosciences (IMAGE) are
hosting a Regional Climate Tutorial designed for graduate students,
researchers, and professionals from industry, government, and other
societal groups. The Tutorial provides a broad overview of best
practices for developing regional climate data and how it can be used
for impact assessments. The Tutorial consists of both lectures and
hands-on laboratory exercises, which will be taught by a team of NCAR
climate scientists, regional climate modelers, and data scientists.



The 6th Regional Climate Tutorial will be offered over a 3-day period
from Monday July 10 – Wednesday 12 July, 2017 at the NCAR Foothills
Laboratory, Boulder, Colorado.



Topics include:

1. Dynamical Downscaling (The WRF model will be used as an example of
a regional climate model.)

- Best practices and guidance on designing regional climate simulations

- Evaluating dynamical model output

- Manipulating dynamical model output

- Sources of uncertainty in regional climate simulations

- High-resolution climate modeling



2. Statistical downscaling of regional climate

- Overview of statistical downscaling methods

- Statistical modeling of extreme values

- Spatial statistics

- Estimating local impacts and extreme events not captured by dynamical models



DATES: July 10-12, 2017



LOCATION: NCAR Foothills Laboratory, Boulder, Colorado, USA



PAYMENT DEADLINE:  May 26, 2017



REGISTRATION FEES:

All Universities, U.S. Government, & NCAR/UCAR         $300.00

Private Industry & Foreign Government                           $450.00
