Recently launched and upcoming satellites, such as the Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) satellite (launched in December 2022) and the Metop - Second Generation (Metop-SG) (to be launched in 2025) will provide advanced capabilities and valuable data for monitoring fires and their impacts. This short course showcases a series of case studies and associated workflows in Jupyter notebooks for fire applications using proxy data from MTG and Metop-SG. In addition to past case studies, join us to explore the data visualisations from the Canadian fires during summer 2023!

By using Project Jupyter tools primarily for Earth observation data education, EUMETSAT is pioneering and advocating for the need to make notebooks more educational and has developed and published five guiding principles on how to do so.
This short course will give you an introduction to these five guiding principles and for each principle you will get a hands-on example how it can be applied and implemented.Webinar with Julia Wagemann, EUMETSAT

In this event, EUMETSAT is demonstrating a multi-mission data
visualisation tool SIFT which is suited for viewing and analysing data from MTG-I1
missions. SIFT is an open-source software released by EUMETSAT and University
of Wisconsin, which utilizes the popular Satpy python-package for data reading.
We also show an upgraded version of the web-based EUMETView tool.

Europe experiences regular Saharan dust transports across the Iberian peninsula, France, Spain that sometimes even reach central and northern Europe. In 2023, the first large-scale dust transport episode took place in mid-February. Taking this event as a case study, this short course will give you an overview of how you can use satellite and ground-based observation as well as model forecasts to monitor and forecast Saharan dust episodes.

In the near future, new satellites such as Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) and Metop - Second Generation (Metop-SG) will provide advanced capabilities and valuable data for monitoring fires and their impacts. This short course showcases a series of case studies and associated workflows in Jupyter notebooks for fire applications using proxy data from MTG and Metop-SG. Join us to explore the case studies focusing on the August Complex fires in 2020, California USA and the Mediterranean fires in summer 2021!

Satellite data products are relevant tools for monitoring marine weather and sea state conditions, as situ observations over ocean are scarce. Without satellite data, in essence, marine forecasters are left to rely solely on model data. In this course, you will learn through practical examples how to better assess current sea and marine weather conditions, and the accuracy of NWP forecasts, with the aid of scatterometer and altimeter data.

This is the first in the series of 3 Ocean and Sea Ice SAF (OSI SAF) webinars providing an overview of the OSI SAF products and their applications, explaining how they are processed and validated, what they can be used for, and how they can be used. New means for accessing the data will be highlighted, and some on-line demonstration will be included.
The webinar is aimed at both existing users of the OSI SAF products and those who are not familiar with the products.

The fire season over the Mediterranean region typically starts in May-June. Meteorological factors play a crucial role in the setting and spreading of wildfires and they are also an important factor in the resulting fire severity. How to interpret the available satellite products and anticipate severe fire occurrence?

Viewing at the storm clouds from above tells us about their interior dynamics. Join us to look at what the satellite images show about the processes happening in the storm clouds. We will reveal the structures seen on the storm tops with currently available satellites and peek into the future view that we will have with the sensors on Meteosat Third Generation (MTG).

This short course will give you an introduction to dust monitoring and forecasting. The course will give you first a high-level introduction to data observations (ground-based and satellite) and model forecasts that can be used to monitor and forecast dust events. The high-level introduction is followed by a practical data discovery part. Focussing on one dust event, the practical part will practically introduce you to satellite-, ground- and model-based data. For each dataset featured, you will get a practical hands-on introduction on how to access, process, visualize and interpret the dataset.
