The IFPS Focal Point Course offers essential training for forecasters, focusing on the new IFPS methodology and its integration with advanced tools like satellite and radar data, especially during the hurricane season. This course emphasizes collaboration among SPC and HPC, encourages the usage of digital services, and aims to demystify the IFPS and NDFD for better outreach. Participants will explore topics such as downscaling techniques, scientific forecasting processes, and the implementation of simulation-based training to improve decision-making and operational efficiency.
