The APEC Climate Center (APCC), located in Busan, South Korea, is inviting early career scientists to join a training program on S2S as a New Epoch in Climate-based Application: Using S2S prediction to cope with extreme hydrological events in developing countries. The 1-week training program aims to improve participants’ forecast skills by increasing their understanding of atmospheric phenomena in a S2S timescale, which often result in extreme events.
Only those participants who successfully complete the training program with active participation and enthusiasm will receive a certificate of completion. The program will be taught by a highly qualified and diverse team of scientists.
