Clouds and Precipitation: Observation and Processes
September 08-17, 2014
Research Center Jülich, Germany
The Summer School on "Clouds and Precipitation: Observation and Processes" provides theoretical and practical training on clouds and precipitation (instrumentation, retrieval and processes). Participants will benefit from a hands-on training with the instruments from the JOYCE site (microwave radiometer, scanning cloud radar, micro rain radar, wind lidar, sodar, infrared spectrometer) and the polarimetric twin radars in Bonn and Jülich. Specific lectures on different instrumental techniques, data assimilation and climate processes will be held by the experts of the field. During group work, open discussions and social events participants will have the opportunity to discuss with the external lecturers and strengthen their network.
