  Welcome to the series of how-to sessions on EUMETSAT Data Access Services

  We present a series of regular online how-to sessions on the Data Access Services and their usage via GUIs and APIs. With this series we hope to increase the amount of users moving from the legacy data access services to the new Data Access Services (Data Store, Data Tailor, EUMETView) and by removing the technical challenges in using the GUIs, APIs and EUMETSATs Data Access Client (command-line interface and Python library). We are introducing you to the new features of our services, and explaining workflows and useful software to work efficiently with our data services. 

  In each session we will be answering top questions posted by you. Each session is recorded and listed below. 

  Instructors: Ben Loveday, Niklas Jordan, and more...
  Facilitated by: Noemi Marsico

  Participate in our sessions

  Our how-to sessions are not a one-way street, which means that attendees can actively participate. Therefore, we would like to invite you to ask us any questions you may have regarding our data access services in our sessions. Questions can be posted in Sli.do at any time, which you can access using the event code #data-services or via the  direct link, or use the Zoom chat when the session started. Each session requires registration via Zoom.
