The 11th ODC Training Course on Prediction and Projection of Climate was successfully accomplished in Qingdao from 22-28 August, 2022.This course hybrids mode of online and onsite participation. Eight famous experts from United States, Germany, Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia and China were invited to give lectures to 148 trainees from 33 countries attended the course. Up to now, ODC Center has provided training course for 670 trainees from 54 countries during past 11 years, making greater contributions to the capacity building of IOC member states. What's more, the influence of China in the field of ocean and climate has been further enhanced. Distribution of ODC trainees aroung the world from 2011-2022
1. Training Lecture
Due to the global situation of COVID-19, only applicants based stay in China participated in the training in person this year, and online trainees used zoom.
Opening ceremony On 22 August, 2022, Prof. Fangli Qiao introduced New Generation of Earth System Model(ESM) for Climate Prediction, he talked about the difference between ESM and Climate Model, and discussed how to distinguish prediction,forecast and projection, what are climate change and climate variability. Prof. Yajuan Song presented what climate change and climate variability were, and she also talked about decadal climate prediction system FIO-CPS V1.0 and V2.0.
Prof. Yajuan Song from the First Institute of Oceanography, MNR, China On 23 August, 2022, Prof. Tianjun Zhou gave lectures on Climate Change and Extreme Events and Projection of Climate Change at Global Warming Levels of Paris Agreement. He also discussed projection of climate change at global warming levels. In the afternoon, Prof. FredolinTangang introduced regional downscaling methods for climate change projection including dynamical downscaling method and statistical downscaling method, and he discussed CORDEX regional climate downscaling activities. On the 24 August 2022, Prof. Shoshiro Minobe from Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Hokkaido University, gave lectures on Climate Change and its Costal Impacts in the Pacific Ocean. He introduced his lectures from three questions to talk about the sea level rise(SLR) in the western boundary regions. Then he taught students how to use Python to climate change and did exercises.
Prof. FredolinTangang, from National University of Malaysia Prof. Shoshiro Menobe from Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Hokkaido University On the 25 August, 2022, Prof. Zhaohua Wu from Florida State University, gave lecture on The application of Python in Climate Dynamics. And Prof. Nelly Florida Riama from Center for Research and Development, Agency for Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics of Indonesia, gave lecture on Applications of using climate predictions for services. In the afternoon, Prof. Nelly Florida Riama introduced the applications of using climate predictions for services. She talked the climate system and climate prediction. Then she introduced climate information and climate change impact for special sector. Finally, she discussed the climate literacy.
On the 26 August, 2022. Prof. Zhaohua Wu introduced annual cycle of the surface air temperature and the physical origin of surface air temperature.He also discussed the basics of heating the earth by the sun. In the afternoon, Prof. Gerrit Lohmann, from University of Bremen for the Department of Physics of the Climate System, introduced the lessons from the past:What our climate history can tell us about the future? He discussed the glacial climate, orbital theory, ice ages and abrupt climate change.
2. Forum for Early Careers Scientists
Besides the lectures and practical exercises, Forum for Early Career Scientists was also carried out to deepen understanding and promote cooperation during these two weeks, which included some activities such as trainee reports, group discussion and group reports.
(1) Trainee Reports
(2)Group discussion and reports
During the training course, all the trainees were divided into 8 groups, onsite were divided into 3 groups and online were into 5 groups. Trainees in each group completed the exercises, carried out group discussions, and prepared group reports. In addition, each group was required to make PPT together to introduce their group members, cooperation and new knowledge gained from the training course, results of their assignments and suggestions for future cooperation. The group discussion and reports provided more chance for the trainees to perform a first attempt to work together and some prospective cooperation in future research among them become more possible.
