Overview

Since 2010, Roshydromet has organized the annual training on “Climate services for economic and social sectors in the context of climate variability and change” at the Voeikov Main Geophysical Observatory (St. Petersburg, Russia). Participants of the training are exposed to the different types of tailored climate products, methods of calculation and data formats for the different user groups in the context of the current and future climate.
Intended audience: climatologists and meteorologists from National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) and other organizations that deal with the climate services for the various economic and social sectors.
Language: Russian

Pillar:

Capacity Development
