Impact-based forecasting and meteorologist’s skills

Impact-based forecasting and meteorologist’s skills

Gerald Fleming (Met Éireann, Ireland) has kindly offered to contribute to the XI Eumetcal Workshop (10-13 October 2016, Langen, Germany) with a recorded talk where he analyses the concept of Impact-based forecasting.

In his talk he explores among the others the implications of Impact-based forecasting on the work of meteorologists and the way they should be trained considered this new paradigm of how weather is approached, particulary in terms of communication with customers and end-users.

The talk of G. Fleming is used to feed forum discussion among the XI Eumetcal Workshop and the CALMet Online participants, implemented within the Met Learning platform.

G. Fleming’s talk, about 17 minutes long, is available in the Eumetcal YouTube channel (see below).
