The 2024 EUMETSAT Supporting Marine Earth Observation Applications (SMA) training course, a United Nations Ocean Decade activity, conducted in partnership with the Alfred Wegener Institute, will share knowledge, skills, resources and code so attendees are able to independently access and process data from the EUMETSAT product catalogue for their marine work-flows and applications. The SMA course will support data streams from EUMETSAT Copernicus marine missions (Sentinel-3; Sentinel-6) and derived downstream products, those derived from Copernicus supporting missions, and those made available by the Ocean and Sea-Ice (OSI SAF) and Climate Monitoring Satellite Application Facilities (CM SAF).

Operational Satellite Oceanography Workshop (2023)

In response to needs identified by the Third International Operational Satellite Oceanography Symposium in June 2023, the hosts (EUMETSAT, NOAA, KHOA and KIOST) are convening a follow-up Operational Satellite Oceanography Workshop which will offer further training on how to exploit operational marine Earth observation data streams. The training event, which will take place online from 27 to 29 November, will give an overview of satellite products from the partners as well as provide guidance and tutorials on using available tools and software packages to facilitate data analysis, automated data access and processing and product validation.

The EUMETSAT Supporting Marine Earth Observation Applications (SMA) training course, conducted in partnership with the Oceanography & Earth Observation Group of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, will share knowledge, skills, resources and code so attendees are able to independently access and process data from the EUMETSAT product catalogue for their marine work-flows and applications. The SMA course will support data streams from EUMETSATs Copernicus marine missions (Sentinel-3; Sentinel-6) and derived downstream products, those derived from Copernicus supporting missions, and those made available by the Ocean and Sea-Ice Satellite Application Facility (OSI-SAF).

CMDS Summer Course

31 May - 25 June 2021

The purpose of this EUMETSAT Copernicus Marine Data Stream (CMDS) training workshop is to share knowledge, skills, resources and code so that attendees are independently able to access and process Sentinel-3 data for their marine workflows and applications.

26 April - 7 May 2021

This course will offer an overview of the operational aspects of the Copernicus Marine Data Stream (CMDS) and the NOAA CoastWatch program. Topics covered will include ocean satellite data products (SST, ocean colour, salinity, altimetry, winds, …), how CMEMS assimilates data into operational models and Level 4 multi sensor products, Data download APIs and ways in which data retrieval and processing can be scripted, and an overview of the ERDDAP data platform and CoastWatch data portal.

28 May 2021

This is the self-taught online phase for the GMES&Africa and Copernicus Marine Earth Observation Training - The use of EO data to support marine and coastal applications. 

This training is organised by the MarCoSouth GMES&Africa consortia, in collaboration with EUMETSAT.

12 - 16 October 2020

The purpose of this EUMETSAT Copernicus Marine Data Stream (CMDS) training workshop is to share knowledge, skills, resources and code so attendees are able to independently access and process Sentinel-3 data and related CMEMS products for their marine work-flows and applications.

28 September - 16 October 2020
