release the second announcement of the "II Lectures on Atmospheric Mineral Dust", a training course coordinated by the WMO SDS-WAS Regional Center for Northern Africa, Middle East and Europe
Scientific Committee:
The members of the Scientific Committee are:
José María Baldasano (BSC-CNS)
Emilio Cuevas Agulló (AEMET)
Santiago Gassó (UPC)
Slobodan Nickovic (WMO)
José Prieto (EUMETSAT)
Scope:
The event is targeted to operational meteorologists as well as to early career scientists (advanced students, PhD candidates and postdoctoral researchers) with a background in the Earth system sciences. They are expected to be proficient in English as a working language.
Participants will attend a series of lectures and practical exercises. They will also have the opportunity to participate in some technical visits. Attendance of international experts on aerosol observation and modelling will ensure an advanced and stimulating learning environment for participants.
Venue and dates:
The event will be held on November 5-9 at:
UPC - Campus Diagonal Nord.- Building VX (Vertex)
Pl. Eusebi Güell, 6
08034 Barcelona - Spain
