  Learning objectives

  The training aims to enable participants to be aware of satellite-based, ground-based and model-based products. Participants will also learn more about the applicability and fitness-for-purpose of the respective products. 

  Target audience
  

  The training school aims to build capacity and improve skills in aerosol detection and monitoring for users from research and academia, and meteorological and transnational agencies, with a regional focus on Europe, North Africa, Middle East and Sahelian Africa. However, attendance is open to all countries.
