Information to Participants


The S2S RTP Workshop will be held across 3 days from the 15th - 17th November, for 3 hours on each day. The workshop is a virtual event which will be held over Zoom. Registered participants will receive the Zoom link ahead of the workshop via email.

Sessions will start at 12:00 UTC and close at 15:00 UTC each day.

The workshop is split into 6 sessions, 2 per day covering core topics of interest to the Real Time Pilot and S2S Forecast Application community. Each session focusses on a specific topic/theme. Within each themed session there will be 2 invited talks preceding a facilitated discussion. We are keen that this workshop is interactive and as such we will be adhering to strict time limits on speakers to ensure that we can maximise open discussion and knowledge exchange between participants.

Presentations will be recorded and made available on the workshop website after the event. Discussion sessions will not be recorded but participants will be encouraged to record their thoughts using digital whiteboards. These will be synthesised after the event.

Aim of the workshop


The Subseasonal-to-Seasonal (S2S) Real Time Pilot (RTP) Initiative has been running since 2019 with 16 projects participating.

This workshop aims to share experiences and learning from across the projects and identify future research priorities and recommendations for future WMO activities to advance the development of S2S forecasting applications.

The workshop is open to all those involved in the RTP and those wanting to learn more and engage with the initiative.

More information about the S2S RTP can be found via the S2S Predication Project website, here.
