EUMETSAT Short Course Series

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 session for a later online access. All records and some accompanying material are provided on the respective course websites. For our latest series of short courses introducing our data records, also Jupyter Notebooks are available via the EUMETSAT gitlab as well as the EUMETSAT Trainhub catalogue.

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