ABOUT THE TRAINING Duration: 60 minutes Contents: This training session provides an overview of ocean transport Essential Climate Variables (ECVs), datasets, validation and relevance for climate monitoring. The session starts with general information about ocean currents, and later deep-dives into three examples of transport observations and...

This document describes the measurement setup, signal processing, data organization, and MATLAB file format of a database of acoustic responses measured on a Knowles Electronics Manikin for Acoustic Research (KEMAR) using the Hearpiece, a multi-microphone, multi-driver in-ear research device. The data include binaural room impulse responses...

The Global Carbon Project (GCP) has been publishing estimates of global and national fossil CO2 emissions since 2001. In the first instance these were simple re-publications of data from another source, but over subsequent years refinements have been made in response to feedback and identification of inaccuracies. In this article (PDF document)...

Timor's district-months can be queried by district FIXED Every row of the API's district-months now carries a district code, so Timor can be filtered like the other three countries. The code is the municipality's, the level Timor reports at. FIXED Whether a trip caught anything is published as a number, as the API describes it, instead of text.

This interactive exercise, in the form of a role playing game, is designed for training in hybrid workshops. The interactive exercise aims to show how evolving forecast information supports wildfire preparedness and response in Attica during the high-risk July–August season. It also brings out the limitations of each forecast product. An...

This MedEWSa slide deck explains that the same hazard does not cause the same impacts everywhere, contrasting Hurricanes Katrina and Dorian, and introduces risk as the combination of hazard, exposure and vulnerability. It defines exposure as the people, assets and services in harm's way and shows how this differs for floods, heatwaves, droughts...

This MedEWSa e-learning slide deck introduces Early Warning Systems as coordinated systems that turn early signals into early action. It explains how they connect science, communication, institutions and decisions so that people have time to act before a disaster. It presents the four pillars of an effective system defined by the UN Early...

This MedEWSa slide deck explains how forecasts of physical variables become signals of hazard. Comparing them with thresholds, either statistical return periods or values set by users, identifies potentially hazardous conditions, as shown with EFAS flood forecasts from CEMS. It discusses climatology and anomalies, and how predictability depends...

Join us for a discussion of diamond open access, in which we will look at different perspectives on and solutions to covering the costs of this publishing model. What is it that costs money? What solutions are available for covering short-term and long-term costs for diamond open access journals, both those that flip to this model and those...
