Climasouth Training workshop on Climate Downscaling for ONM (Algeria) 

From 14th to 16th March, ClimaSouth conducted a training workshop for specialized staff of Algeria’s Office Nationale de la Météorologie (ONM) on the topic of climate downscaling to assist in the preparation of forest fires vulnerability indices.

The course was held in the CMCC (Centre Méditerranée sur le Changements Climatiques) premises in Lecce, under the lead of Dr. Edoardo Bucchignani of CMCC. The hands-on course covered the topics of climate change, climate variability and dynamical downscaling and the implementation of the COSMO-CLM regional climate model.

The ONM has become a member of the CLM community and the model implementation is in progress at the ONM computing facility.
