Course description

The course “Climate Product Generation” is one of the core components of the professional training cycle for PhD students in the “Climate Services” program.

The main objective is to train specialists who, using all modern tools and techniques to provide high-quality information tailored to user needsincluding explanations of its possible applicationsare able to create and interpret various climate products for different geographical regions and time periods.

When working with open data, one often deals with datasets containing hundreds, thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of observations. Therefore, it is necessary to apply various methods for summarizing and compressing information in order to draw accurate conclusions from these data. Descriptive statistics and methods of multivariate statistical analysis are widely used for processing and analyzing meteorological variables in climatological research.
