Journey started! Underway to @EuropeanMetSoc Annual Meeting in Barcelona to enjoy latest atmospheric #science, meet colleagues, promote the new J. Eur Meteorol Society (https://t.co/ytAMQAzy2c) and open a new Harry Otten Prize round (https://t.co/UYrBVeqKxB) #traintoEMS #EMS2024

ICPAC is supporting the Sudan Meteorological Authority @EWSMA1 in hosting a technical workshop that is in collaboration with Sudan's early warning state actors. The workshop, funded through @CIMAFoundation aims to enhance technical institutional efforts in coordinating the country's national early warning systems & promote dialogue among involved agencies to advance the implementation of the Sudan Climate & Weather Rescue Plan in the country's fragile context.

🌦️ The future of #weather forecasting: Can Artificial Intelligence (AI) revolutionize it? 🤖🌍

This week at #ICPAC, we embarked on an insightful journey into the world of #weather #forecasting with the help of cutting-edge #AI technology. Our team has been collaborating with experts and engaging in intensive training sessions, exploring how Machine Learning (ML) can elevate the precision and efficiency of #weather predictions.

🌟 Highlights from the training:

🤖 Hands-on experimentation: We conducted a comprehensive evaluation and comparison of forecasting models, including the Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) Model, and how they can be used to enhance #forecasting accuracy.

🧠 Expert insights: We were privileged to host experts from the @UniofOxford and ICPAC Climate Scientists share their expertise and experiences, enriching our understanding of AI's transformative role in #meteorology.

🤝 A special shoutout to @Google for their invaluable support in the project.

New #paper out with @shalomesinclair ! We show how #downscaling with #WRF of the 7-month CFSv2 seasonal forecast can improve the #drought #forecast and #maize yield estimates (#WOFOST) for #Zimbabwe Important for #food #security. https://t.co/dUsu0CVXQp

No #train2EGU for me this year. Students of our Atmospheric #Modelling course will present their #WRF research results tomorrow in 2 sessions at our WGU ;-) @WURenvironment (https://t.co/VKyma1DVBQ) #meteorology #weather

HUMANITARIAN INFO CROWDSOURCING REQUEST
SUDAN 19 APR 2023

As of today, all our staff in #Sudan (more than 300 Sudanese, 25 non-Sudanese) are accounted for, but we remain 'sheltering in place' in #Khartoum and #Darfur, where there's heavy fighting
Like all civilians, unfortunately we remain in grave danger there

In some areas less affected by armed #conflict, namely our #refugee-focused offices in #Gedaref and White #Nile states, as of yesterday we re-opened our offices for essential/limited operations

More broadly, we're beginning to prepare for scaling #emergency response where/when feasible (some obvious security and logistical challenges currently).
As the situation is chaotic and dynamic, and most #humanitarian offices in Khartoum are currently paralysed, I wanted to supplement what we know with some crowd-sourced info to build our understanding and prelim planning

So, please do DM me if you have primary info on any of the below:

- where are people #fleeing from and to specifically?
- how many people roughly are in which new #camps or collective #shelters, and where?
- where are there *already* #community-based organisations working to help people in this current tragedy (helping either/both people who've fled, but also people who are trapped)? what are their contacts? how can we help?

I can't guarantee we can act on any of the information, but we'll try our utmost
Please share this message with those who can help share this key humanitarian info
