Bringing together the academic community and NMSs to promote and enhance applications of satellite data and products, including SAFs products in different application areas and fields of research.

Hellenic National Meteorological Service and EUMETSAT organise the "International Autumn School 2023" in  Athens, Greece. The primary objective of this classroom workshop is to enhance participants' understanding and utilization of EUMETSAT's satellite data and products, including SAF products, in various fields of study or applications, with a specific focus on the MSG and MTG satellites. 

By the end of the training, participants will have gained comprehensive knowledge of EUMETSAT's data products and services, along with the skills to effectively incorporate them into their scientific projects and research.

Participants will be guided through informative lectures, engage in hands-on practice sessions, and learn data visualization and processing techniques (using Python on Jupyter notebooks). This will be accompanied with the theoretical background in remote-sensing principles.

Target audience: New scientists, post-graduate students, experts and researchers from EUMETSAT Member-states, preferably young and motivated members of academic community and staff members of the Meteorological Services, with knowledge or experience in remote sensing, satellite data and products interpretation and some knowledge of Python coding .    

Date: 23-27 October 2023

Location: Athens, Greece

EUMETSAT organises the "7th Autumn School on Satellite Techniques for Severe Weather Nowcasting" in Thessaloniki, Greece. The objective of this classroom workshop is to explain the use of processes, tools and products for nowcasting of severe weather, (such as storms, deep cyclones, severe precipitation, heat waves and droughts), based on satellite data.

During the course you will learn:

1. how to find signs for severe weather in satellite imagery;
2. how to use confidently satellite products to assess precipitation and high risk weather for a region;
3. how to identify basic processes and meteorological variables influencing severe convection.
   
   

Date: 2-5 September 2019

Location: Thessaloniki, Greece

The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki will organize in cooperation with EUMETSAT the Autumn School 2017 on the “Use of Satellite Information in Nowcasting”, which will be held in Thessaloniki, Greece, in the week 11 - 15 September 2017.

The main objective of the training workshop is to present and explain to the participants the new developments in satellite meteorology focusing on the use of processes, principles and practices, tools and products for nowcasting and short-range forecasting based on meteorological satellite data and products.. Lectures cover a wide range of topics such as convective events monitoring, convective cloud features, conceptual models, precipitation and nowcasting products and applications of MSG imagery products.

Target audience: operational forecasters, experts and researchers from south-eastern Europe and North African countries, preferably young and motivates staff members of the Meteorological Services with knowledge or experience in satellite imagery interpretation.

The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki will organize in cooperation with EUMETSAT a training workshop on "Use of Satellite Data on Nowcasting High Impact Weather", which will be held in Thessaloniki, Greece, from 12-16 September 2016.

The main objective of the training workshop is to present and explain to the participants the new developments in satellite meteorology focusing on the use of processes, principles and practices, tools and products for nowcasting and short-range forecasting weather such as storms, deep cyclones, tornadoes, severe precipitation, heat weaves and droughts, based on meteorological satellite data and products.

Target audience: operational forecasters, experts and researchers from south-eastern Europe and North African countries, preferably young and motivates staff members of the Meteorological Services with knowledge or experience in satellite imagery interpretation.
