It was a pleasure to welcome Patrick Nédellec, Counsellor for Science and Technology at the French Embassy in London, and Professor Christophe Cudennec to ECMWF today.
A great opportunity to discuss our work and the importance of international collaboration in advancing Earth system science.
Three things you’ll be able to do after our MOOC:
1️⃣ Undertand what climate data are and how they are produced
2️⃣ Pick the right type of climate data for your sector
3️⃣ Find and interpret trusted #C3S data with confidence
