Overview The need for training eSurge’s contribution eSurge training Online/offline Hands-on Feedback.

First off.... Go raibh maith agat! Merci! Tak! Thank you! Grazie! 감사합니다 Dank u wel!

The need for intellectual & network capacity building. “Another typhoon, this time a devastating super-typhoon that hit the country bulls-eye. Nothing new, including the absence of a comprehensive plan of action to deal with the curse of typhoons. Unless my editors tell me to stop, I'll be writing every typhoon season... in the hope that some lawmaker or group would pick up my proposal... for the enactment of a law for our nation to build the necessary infrastructure to mitigate the terrible impact of typhoons and monsoon rains on our people.” Rigoberto Tiglao The Manila Times November 10 th, 2013

Knowledge is a key component of this infrastructure!

The eSurge contribution  Now providing easy access to relevant data for a wide range of historical surge events.  Making data products available in near real time during on-going surge events.  demonstrating the potential value of this data.  FOCUS CAN NOW ALSO BE ON CAPACITY BUILDING

eSurge training Training focus: To facilitate the global development of regional to local knowledge & expertise in sourcing, and applying Earth Observation data to storm surge modelling & forecasting Training elements: Online & offline course Hands-on training event

Online training Target audience = The Modelling & research community The forecasting community Audience & scope shaped by User consultation, and consultation with global experts, WMO & JCOMM

Online training Enable students to: conduct the research needed on understanding storm surges and exploiting the full scope of data available to them. In-situ data EO data Model data

Online training Enable students to: Identify the key points in their information gathering chains where various EO data can contribute Scatterometry data Altimetry data SST data NRT data

Online training Modular design – caters for a wider variety of skill levels Modules shall cover:  Fundamental storm surge concepts (online)  Modelling, & core modelling concepts (online shortly)  The forecast information chain (online shortly)  The potential for EO data (March)  Incorporating EO data into modelling (March)  Incorporating EO data into forecasting (March)

Online training

Hands-on training event Cork 2014 National Maritime College of Ireland Cork 20 th -21 st February, 2014 Applications deadline Dec. 6th Hosted in association with:

Hands-on training event Cork 2014 Knowledge on the range of satellite products available & their potential Skills in identifying where EO data can contribute to your research and forecasting ability and how to proceed. Opportunities to develop your professional networks and expand your regional & professional capacities.

Summary eSurge training is only a part of the potential response to the need for a more deeply established knowledge infrastructure. The training provided has been shaped by users and experts. eSurge training :  focuses on the modelling & forecasting communities  Incorporates a key element of network building  Is designed to be of use to multiple levels of skill and discipline Online training being made available at Cork training event on February 20 th -21 st 2014 – see Applications Deadline December 6 th.
