The EU COST Action “Evaluation of Ocean Syntheses” (EOS) is organizing a training school on data assimilation and data analysis techniques from 4 to 15 April 2016 in Lecce (Italy).

In the fields of oceanography, meteorology and climatology, the data analysis and data assimilation techniques combine in an optimal way different data sets, possibly using dynamical constraints defined by numerical models. These techniques are central to operational atmospheric and oceanographic systems and climatological data analysis.
The EOS-COST DAAM School will provide training on fundamental methodology, standard techniques and several state of the art applications. Theoretical lectures will be followed by practical exercises. The school will cover Bayesian, variational and ensemble techniques, and will present applications with operational systems and climatological data analysis.

More information about the school (topics, lecturers and organizers involved, teaching format and way of participation) is available here.
