[Grad-postdoc-assn] Climate and Weather Extremes Tutorial

[Erin Towler]

—   2018 Climate and Weather Extremes Tutorial Announcement     —

The Capacity Center for Climate and Weather Extremes (C3WE/MMM
<https://www.c3we.ucar.edu/>) is hosting a Climate and Weather Extremes
Tutorial <https://www.mmm.ucar.edu/climate-weather-extremes-tutorial> designed
for students, researchers, and professionals who are interested in climate
and weather extremes. The Tutorial will cover approaches to analyzing and
modeling extremes, as well as methods to understand and characterize
uncertainty. The Tutorial will also feature a clinic focused on workflows
for accelerated science discoveries and overcoming barriers to
understanding and predicting weather and climate extremes.

The Tutorial consists of both lectures and hands-on laboratory exercises,
which will be taught by a team of NCAR climate scientists and members of
the NSF Earthcube ASSET (Accelerating Scientific WorkflowS using Earthcube
Technologies) project.

The Climate and Weather Extremes Tutorial will be offered over a 3-day
period from Wednesday August 1– Friday August 3, 2018 at the NCAR Foothills
Laboratory, Boulder, Colorado.

Topics include:


   - Extremes under climate change: State of the science
   - Approaches to characterizing and predicting extremes
      - Dynamical modeling frameworks for extremes
      - Statistical modeling of extreme values and characteristics
   - Evaluating and validating extremes in climate models
   - Understanding sources of uncertainty
   - Challenges and advances in convective extremes
   - Improving workflows to accelerate science & discovery
