WMO INTER-REGIONAL CLIPS TRAINING WORKSHOP ON URBAN CLIMATOLOGY 6-10 September 2010, Pune, India

• Agenda:The five day course includes lectures and practical exercises. The lecture material is organised by the scale of urban effect and outlines current knowledge. The relevant processes operating at each scale and the best means of incorporating these into meteorological modelling and observational practice are discussed. In addition, the practical application of climate knowledge to the management of the built environment is presented. The exercises will complement lectures by showing how urban information can be acquired and employed to enhance existing meteorological services.
• Workshop Dates : 6-10 September 2010
