This online training course aims to increase scientists’ expertise on data analysis and visualisation applied to climate and weather domains, using high-performance data analytics and visualisation tools available from the open source market (i.e., Ophidia and ParaView).

The training covers topics from simple analytics tasks to workflows and applications (e.g., Python-based) and provides best practices and guidelines on dealing with massive scientific datasets on HPC architectures. 

Examples of real applications of Ophidia for data analytics and ParaView for visualisation in the climate and weather domain will be presented. Demos and hands-on concerning the tools will also be carried out during the training. 

This course is organised in the context of the “Centre of Excellence in Simulation of Weather and Climate in Europe” (ESiWACE) phase 2 project.
