Training on Air Quality Prediction and Forecasting for African Applications

A comprehensive training school on air quality prediction and forecasting for African applications is being organised under the auspicious of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The event will be held considering online and in-person sessions. Online sessions will be organised on 12-25 September 2024. 

These online webinars aim to introduce the participants to basic concepts of air quality processes, modelling, observations and applications. In-person training will be held at the Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA), Cairo, from 1 to 4 of October 2024. 

The in-person course aims to introduce the participants to the main principles of air quality and meteorological modelling for African applications and related data products, as well as, the means to implement these tools for African applications. A further aim of the training is to build and strengthen local capacity in Africa on air quality prediction and forecasting and to promote the use of data products. The participants will also be able to participate in a science workshop on air quality research for Africa that will be held in conjunction with the training school on 30 September 2024.  

This training school is being organised by the WMO Science and Innovation Department and the WMO Education and Training Office.
