One-Week WRF Training Workshop

Development of Skilled Manpower (DESK)

Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology

The DESK, IITM is organizing a comprehensive one-week hands-on Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) training program at the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology during the second week of March.

Duration: 11-15-March-2024

Schedule:

Venue: Meghdoot Auditorium, IITM

Target Audience: Research students, Project Scientists, and Young Scientists from diverse institutes in Pune and around 

Objectives:

• Advanced WRF Understanding: Delve into the intricacies of the WRF modelling system.
• Hands-on Simulation: Practical sessions on model setup, configuration, and execution.
• Data Analysis: Techniques for post-processing and analysis of WRF output.
• Real-world Applications: Explore diverse applications of WRF in tropical meteorology.

Training Modules:
