Training
The one-day pre-workshop training session for students and early career scientists/professionals is aimed to give hands-on training on the latest global model outputs and different data analysis techniques about Stratosphere-Troposphere Interactions, Atmospheric Chemistry and Transports, Extreme Weather Events, probabilistic forecasts etc. A large pool of interested students/scholars/early career scientists/Asst. Professors will be trained in the hands-on training session.
