T-NOTE is directed to graduate and postgraduate students in the field of atmospheric sciences as well as National Meteorological and Hydrological Services personnel and will provide the basis of Nowcasting Techniques, with special emphasis on severe weather episodes typical of Southeastern South America.
The specific objectives are:

  • To develop the areas of nowcasting and very short forecasting at the regional level by means of comprehensive training activities on this field.

  • To leverage the local capacity, so that a critical mass of trainers can be formed under this activity (i.e., training of trainers).

  • To interact with potential users of nowcasting in order to develop new tools to their activities based on nowcasting products from measurements, remote sensors, models and blending techniques available over the region.
