SCEWERO

Heatwave training session
9-10 July 2025
General information

The training is the first in a series dedicated to increasing the research capacity of the UBB researchers for extreme weather events. It will consist of a short visit by CMCC climatologists and AI researchers to UBB to present the application of AI-driven detection and forecasting of heatwaves, aiming to improve the UBB researchers’ skills on this topic.

Topics

The main topics addressed during the training session will be:

  • Data availability for heat waves analysis for seasonal to decadal prediction and long-term projections
  • Heatwaves over Europe and their relationship with the large-scale in reanalysis and climate models
  • Climate models in the context of seasonal forecast systems
  • Numerical and AI-driven approaches for heatwave forecast at the seasonal time horizon
  • Practical exercises (hands-on) for the Romanian territory.
