The course will be separated into two stages. The first stage will have an emphasis on applications and the well-informed use of reanalysis products. In the second stage, we will allow more time to explore the mathematics of DA theory and algorithms and dive deeper into the relevant Machine Learning concepts.<\/p>\n<h4><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3111\" src=\"https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/met-darc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2026\/03\/timetable.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1153\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/met-darc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2026\/03\/timetable.png 1153w, https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/met-darc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2026\/03\/timetable-300x103.png 300w, https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/met-darc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2026\/03\/timetable-1024x350.png 1024w, https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/met-darc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2026\/03\/timetable-768x262.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1153px) 100vw, 1153px\" \/><\/h4>\n<h3>Registration<\/h3>\n<p>The course fees are \u00a3375 for in-person participants.
