Enhancing the Student Experience with Numerical Weather Prediction: Advantages of Integrating Container and Cloud Technologies into Course Curricula

Abstract

Integrating Cloud and Container Technologies into University Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) Curriculum What: University faculty joined the Developmental Testbed Center (DTC) for a live, virtual 3-day workshop to learn about the capabilities of the DTC's containerized end-to-end NWP system on the cloud and to discuss challenges of incorporating NWP into their curricula. Attendees participated in hands-on practice and breakout discussions sessions to assess the merits of using the system, including consideration of improvements or changes needed to make the use of containers and cloud technologies feasible for teaching NWP in their respective classrooms. When: 7-9 June 2021 Where: Held virtually (https://dtcenter.org/events/2021/integrating-cloud-container-technologies-university-numerical-weather-prediction-nwp-curriculum).
