Are you a young researcher or a professional working on hydrometeorological data?
Are you interested in exploring new methods for processing opportunistic rainfall sensor data?
This training school is for you!
When: 10-12 October 2023
Where? Campus of Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel
Within OpenSense, the network brings together scientists investigating different opportunistic sensors (OS), experts from weather services, and end-users of rainfall products, to build a worldwide opportunistic sensing community. They work on defining standards to allow for large-scale benchmarking of OS precipitation products and develop new methods for precipitation retrieval and coordinate the integration of the opportunistic observations into traditional monitoring networks.
Based on the open datasets that they curate and software tools that they develop, they are organising a three-day training school focused on hands-on exercises aimed for participants wanting to get to know how to process data from opportunistic rainfall sensors:
- CML – commercial microwave link,
- PWS – personal weather station
- SML – satellite microwave link.
Who is it for: young researchers (PhDs, Postdocs, etc) or professional (e.g. from meteorological or hydrological services) who actively work with hydrometeorological data. 20 applicants will be selected.
Who is eligible: participants have to be affiliated with a COST Member country or a Near Neighbour Country. More details are provided on page 60 of the Annotated rules for COST Actions.
What content will be covered:
- Open datasets of rainfall OS and their newly established standardized data formats
- Software tools for CML, PWS and SML data processing
- Methods for quality control and processing of the OS data full workflow – from raw data to derived rain products.
What will the format of the workshop be: two days of hands-on exercises and one day focused on mini projects where participants can work on their own ideas and data, or on selected small research questions that will be proposed.
What cost will be covered: OpenSense will reimburse all costs for travel, accommodation, and daily allowance following the COST rules.
