The main goal of this course is to focus on practical aspects of nowcasting, for both users (how to make better nowcasts) and developers (how to contribute to an open-source project). The course will combine theory with hands-on sessions based on the open-source library pysteps, while offering an opportunity to gather the nowcasting community around pysteps to discuss challenges and future developments.
