    • EUMETSAT Winter School on the Use of Satellite Data for Climate Services - Europe

      The key objective of this Workshop is to instruct active and future users from National Meteorological Services, Regional Climate Centres and from research institutions primarily from EUMETSAT member states and WMO RA VI in the use of EUMETSAT climate products for operational climate monitoring and climate research.

      Course setup

      Participants will complete an online phase during which they will

      • engage with the concept of satellite based climate monitoring
      • be introduced to EUMETSAT's climate products
      • install free and open software tools to be used during the classroom phase
      • get a first introduction to these software
      • identify which data will be most applicable to their work and ideally download (some of) these data
      • design a small project that will be completed during the classroom phase

      The course will focus on project-based work with supporting presentations and group work on the application of satellite data to climate monitoring. We will use climate data of EUMETSAT's product portfolio (mainly CM SAF and LSA SAF data) and free software tools, such as R (see http://www.cmsaf.eu/tools/) R-Instat and QGIS. During the workshop, the participants will have the opportunity to explore the use of satellite based climate data in their daily work.

      Please note: The active engagement in the online phase is crucial for your success in the course! Participants should allocate 10 - 15 hours for the online phase.

      Online Phase: 4 February - 15 February 2019

    • Copernicus and GMES Africa expert exchange workshop: Development of a road map for collaborative training using Sentinel 3 marine data

      This event aims to provide a forum for exchange of knowledge and practice between those involved in marine satellite data training from the EUMETSAT Copernicus marine training service, and representatives of the GMES Africa consortia.

      The outcomes of this workshop will include:

      • Determination of requirements for future training resource development and potential for collaborative events as regards GMES&Africa Marine (to be compiled as a roadmap report subsequent to the workshop).
      • Sharing the training approach and resources developed so far as part of the EUMETSAT Copernicus marine and ocean training service. This will include discussion of online learning and tools such as SNAP, Python, and hosted processing environments.
      • Networking between key personnel from the 4 consortia with a marine and coastal area remit under GMES Africa
