Tanzania Meteorological Agency (TMA) in
collaboration with the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) have conducted
the training workshop on Climate Modelling in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania from 29th
June to 03rd July 2015
The training is held under the umbrella of the
on-going Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS) Pilot project in Tanzania
and Malawi. Participants of the workshop (TMA and Malawi Meteorological
Department) are expected to learn downscaling techniques using PRECIS (Providing Regional Climates for Impact
Studies) model.
Thanks for the support from UK-Met office on facilitation of this workshop.
PRECIS is a system for generating
high-resolution scenarios of future climate in a region.
Dr. Kijazi said the
training is an opportunity to improve the understanding of TMA staff on the
science of climate modeling as well as to develop their capacity to analyze
data from climate models for climate change impacts
assessments.
