Regional Webinars: Linking Science to Services

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI), and the University of Colorado Boulder aim to strengthen regional resilience to climate variability. To this end, they have organized regional seminars focused on improving the connection between recent scientific advances and their application in meteorological and climate operations in Latin America and the Caribbean.

The first seminar is “Translating advances in ENSO research to operations in Latin America and the Caribbean”, on 3 July 2025, at:

09h00-11h00 Costa Rica

11h00-13h00 Barbados, Chile

10h00-12h00 Panama, Peru

12h00-14h00 Argentina, Brazil

15h00-17h00 UTC

The main objectives are:

Analyze the operational implications of asymmetry in ENSO predictability.

  • Exchange experiences among WMO Regional Climate Centers.
  • To strengthen collaboration between scientific and operational communities in the region.
  • The target audience is scientists, operational forecasters, and technical staff from National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHS) and Regional Climate Centers in Latin America and the Caribbean.

The event will have Spanish-English interpretation. Registration is available at: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_aIuq_hiJQjuiOr45J9EnNA
