SW REDI LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES

Both opportunities (the camp and the course) are mainly geared towards those motivated undergraduate students who either seek to be entry level space weather forecasters or those who seek to perform space weather related research to fulfill academic requirements.

However they are also appropriate for scientists and others new to space weather who seek a global perspective of space weather, as well as those aiming to broaden their research topics.

1. Two-weeks quick-start SW REDI camp

The foundation of this unique two-week intensive camp includes the in-house Integrated Space Weather Analysis system (iSWA), space environment models installed at the CCMC, and the operational experience of the SWRC team.

SW REDI camps:

  • are a compressed intense-study (8h/day) version of 2 credit semester-long course (see below)
  • summer camp is held during the first 2 weeks of summer internship (in 2013: June 3-14)
  • winter camp is held during the 2 weeks of winter break (dates for 2013 TBD)
  • participation from research, operational and educational institutions world-wide is invited
  • pre-requisite for SW-Ops or SW-Res internships: for SW-Dev and SW-Med interns only, the introductory part of training (the first 3 days) is required
  • 2013 Summer Camp experience and pictures
  • 2013 Summer Camp Tutorials
  • See camp course plan (PDF)

SW REDI Boot Camp: June 3-14, 2013
