This online course will focus on the cold season weather. Topics of the course include the typical challenges forecasters need to deal with during the cold season: the type of cloudiness, the types of precipitation - rain, snow, freezing rain, and their impacts on people and property. An essential part of the course is to work on case studies that help you to refresh your skills in using the satellite and other products when preparing for winter.
The Baltic+ course is a joint initiative of the National Meteorological Services of Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and Poland, who join forces in order to increase the knowledge in skills in the use of satellite observation data and to create a platform for exchanging ideas, applications and knowledge.

This year course will deal with the application of the satellite products for diagnosis of southerly flow environment favourable to pre-convection and summer heavy precipitation.
The objectives in this year’s Baltic+ course will be to improve forecasters’ skills in:
· selecting the appropriate satellite products for identification of the environments favourable to pre-convection and summer heavy precipitation;
· recognizing the features on the satellite products that indicate the development of the event using the weather chart, as well as NWP, radar and soundings data;
· getting the knowledge on the usefulness of the satellite data in issuing warnings for the event,
The
course will be organized on the Moodle platform, and it will run 12-30 April 2021. The follow-up workshop will be organized 18-20 May 2021, with participant presentations and short webinars.

The core topics at the course are the use of satellite applications and products for monitoring heavy precipitation cases in Baltic Sea region; the Integration of satellite and NWP data in heavy precipitation conditions caused by the Sea and land interaction, as well as how to communicate the information to the governmental institutions, to the media and to the general public.
The online phase of the course will take place 18 February - 8 March 2019, followed by a classroom phase 19-21 March 2019.

Institute of Meteorology and Water Management - Polish Research Institute (IMGW-PIB) in cooperation with EUMETSAT is organizing a training workshop Baltic+ on the “Practical use of EUMETSAT products together with NWP data” in Warsaw, which will be held from 15 to 17 March 2016.
The workshop will focus on practical issues using EUMETSAT data in detecting fog, low clouds and freezing precipitation, also using both satellite and numerical weather prediction model data in nowcasting and warnings.
Estonian Environment Agency (ESTEA) in cooperation with EUMETSAT is organizing a training workshop Baltic+ on the “Practical use of EUMETSAT products together with NWP data” in Tallinn, which will be held from 17 to 19 March 2015.
The workshop will focus on practical issues using EUMETSAT data in detecting the frontal structures and cyclone development, also using both satellite and numerical weather prediction model data in nowcasting and warnings.
