EUMETSAT Short Course Series

In 2020 EUMETSAT started a series of online short courses on data discovery for weather, oceanography, air quality and climate. A typical online short course consist of a main session, which takes about one to two hours. During the main session, experts present the main topic, followed by a Q & A session via tools like slido. Some courses provide hands-on exercises, which consist of an introduction, followed by a phase, where the participants work on their own, and a feedback session, which might be a few days later. Most of the climate related courses made use of the CM SAF R Toolbox for the hands-on exercises.

A big advantage of online training is the accessibility to a wider audience and the possibility to record a sessions for a later online access. All records and some accompanying material are provide on the respective course websites.

So far, CM SAF supported the following online short courses:
