Training objectives:
Section outline
-
- Understand the physical foundations of climate change, including the Earth’s radiation budget,geophysical fluid dynamics, and ocean-atmosphere interactions.
- Differentiate between natural climate variability and anthropogenic trends, using conceptualtools and observational evidence.
- Identify and describe the major physical impacts of climate change on the atmosphere, ocean,and cryosphere — such as global mean temperature and mean sea level rise, marineheatwaves, and decline in Arctic sea ice.
- Develop a basic understanding of numerical modelling techniques for ocean systems. Conduct ahands-on session introducing Jupyter Notebook. Learn how to access, interpret, and visualizeclimate data using open and freely available resources from the Copernicus Climate and MarineServices, and derive key methodologies for analysing ocean data.
