This course is mainly intended for forecasters on shifts, but will also be useful for other meteorologists and geoscientists. It is competency-based and aims to help the participants in their everyday work.
During the course, basic principles of satellite meteorology will be covered. Participants will obtain general knowledge about meteorological satellites, identifying land features and analysing them and identifying fronts, different types of clouds, atmospheric phenomena, etc.
The course is mainly asynchronous, with three online playground sessions where participants will be able to interact with the presenter and each other. It will be delivered through the Eumetcal Moodle website over seven weeks, from 2 May to 17 June.
The course consists of three main blocks, each in the duration of two weeks and a ‘Refresher’ block at the beginning of the course, which aims to refresh your knowledge and get you acquainted with the environment you will be working in, and with your colleagues.
