Workshop – Copernicus Atmospheric and Climate Change


Reykjavík, Friday 4th October 2024, 09:00-16:00 – Cost: Free

Á vinnustofu um lofthjúps- og loftslagsþjónustur Copernicus (e. Copernicus Atmospheric Monitoring Services (CAMS) og Copernicus Climate Change Services (C3S)) verða kynningar frá notendum lofthjúps- og loftslagsgagna í ýmsum verkefnum. Þátttakendur taka þátt í lotum þar sem praktísk dæmi eru könnuð sem nota verkfæri frá CAMS og C3S. Vinnustofan ýtir undir samstarf og miðlun á þekkingu sem gerir þátttakendum kleift að nýta sér þjónusturnar betur fyrir eigin verkefni. 

The Copernicus Atmospheric Monitoring Services (CAMS) and Copernicus Climate Change Services (C3S) Workshop brings together user presentations on the application of atmospheric and climate data in various projects. Participants engage in hands-on sessions, exploring practical examples that integrate CAMS and C3S tools. The workshop fosters collaboration and knowledge-sharing, empowering attendees to effectively utilize these services for their specific needs.
