Appointment in Tarquinia for the third edition of the "Convective and volcanic clouds detection, monitoring and modeling Training School", which will be held from 18 to 25 October. Organized by INGV in collaboration with NILU, ICTP, University of Oxford, UK MetOffice and AXA Research Fund, the school is aimed at students and researchers interested in remote sensing and dispersion/prediction models for monitoring convective systems and volcanic clouds.
Knowing present and future satellite instruments and missions, analysis techniques and numerical models to support policy makers, warning systems and aviation safety. These are the objectives of the 3rd International Training School on Convective and volcanic clouds detection, monitoring and modeling, which will be held in Tarquinia from 18 to 25 October.
An eight-day event aimed at students and researchers, organized by the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) in collaboration with the Norwegian Institute for Air Research (NILU), Abdus Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), University of Oxford, UK MetOffice and AXA Research Fund, with the aim of presenting cutting-edge techniques and the most recent developments in the satellite and modeling sector.
Remote sensing and modeling of extreme weather events is a highly multidisciplinary field. In fact, the same techniques and instruments can be used in meteorology, monitoring of volcanic clouds, atmospheric physics and climatology. In all these fields there are still many problems to be solved, making this school fundamental for the creation of a new generation of scientists able to use the synergy of different techniques and tools and to make it available to end users. For this reason, the speakers have been chosen so as to involve not only scientists, but also those who have to use the possible research products (pilots, meteorologists, air traffic managers).
The program includes: lectures, accompanied by practical applications and laboratory sessions. Each topic includes a presentation of the theme with a lecture and following discussion. The students will then present their research activity through an oral presentation or a poster. The selection of oral presentations will take place through an evaluation procedure, as for a regular conference.
