Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
The ETCD program's goal is to improve the performance of all operational meteorologists and hydrologists worldwide. This improvement in human performance for enhanced decision support services is achieved through collaborative training and education. ETCD is accomplished through collaboration between operational hydrologists/meteorologists, scientists, and academic staff with expertise across a wide range of environmental, educational, and social and behavioral sciences.
These activities engage operational hydrologists, meteorologists, researchers, instructors, and students in applied training and simulation exercises, which are pivotal to the operational climate, water, and weather communities. The goal of improving performance is achieved through a competency-based education and training program. By meeting the goal of ETCD, forecasts and warnings of environmental hazards will be improved.
