Programme
!!!!NEWS!!!!
📌 A dedicated hands-on and practical session on “How to run WRF-Chem” (i.e., focusing on different model configurations for various scientific purposes) will be organized, aimed especially at early-career researchers and new users. This session will cover model setup, configuration, best practices, and common pitfalls.
