The CLIMAAX project will take part in the 3th edition of the Climateurope2 webstival, which promotes insightful community discussions on the design, use, quality, business innovation, and policy drivers of climate services. This online conference is taking place on 19-20 September.

In a parallel session of Friday, from 9:30 to 10:15 CEST, Christopher Polster (ECMWF) and Martin Kubáň (Kajo Services) will give a brief overview of the CLIMAAX Handbook and demonstrate the use of one its workflows with the example of an assessment of urban heatwave risks.

Kubáň, the lead developer of the heatwave workflow, will take the participants through the steps of the workflow and demonstrate its capabilities. Participants then have the opportunity to get hands-on and customize a part of the presented assessment to an urban area of their choice.

The hands-on session is based on Jupyter notebooks and can be run inside the browser with binder, a free cloud computing service, but experienced users are encouraged to set up a local computing environment beforehand (the instructions available here).

About 1 GB of data is downloaded when following along with the workflow demonstration. Basic experience with the Python programming language is desirable but not a necessary requirement for participation.
