After that, she joined the Earth Sciences Department at the BSC where she did a Ph.D. thesis while she was involved in different European Projects (EUPORIAS, SPECS, NEWA) and national initiatives (RESILIENCE). The overall aim of her PhD was the assessment of different statistical post-processing methods that are applied to improve the quality of the seasonal forecasts produced by seasonal prediction systems. Then, these improved predictions will be used in the development of tailored information for wind energy users. Currently she is a post-doc researcher working on the development of seasonal forecast products that can be used to improve operational climate services. | ||
