Researchers from 3 different institutes aimed to promote the functional improvement of the Pacific Island Countries Advanced Seasonal Outlook (PICASO) system and focused on increasing the climate prediction & information utilization capabilities of Meteorological Services from around the Pacific Islands.

On the first day of the training workshop, lectures on climate prediction and PICASO training were given. On March 1st, lecturers from the 3 institutes such as APCC, etc. introduced the extended functions of PICASO and taught how to use them. During the practice session on March 2, the last day, they taught how to produce the climate outlook using PICASO.
