SEEMET is a regular yearly training initiated and organized by National Meteorological and Hydrological Services of South-East Europe, and supported by EUMETSAT, Eumetcal, EUMeTrain and ECMWF. Training includes using of satellite data and products as well as ECMWF products in forecast operations.
SEEMET 2025 will be an advanced satellite course, with a focus on convection.
The topics will cover:
- MSG and MTG Satellite channels and RGB products
- Convection forecast - Ingredient based methodology
- Pre-convective environment - humidity, stability
Synoptic scale driving mechanisms, mesoscale lift
Introduction to ECMWF products for convection
- Convective hazards
- MTG Lightning imager (LI) products in convection analysis and nowcast
The course is targeted to forecasters from the SE European (ICSEED) countries : Slovenia, Hungary, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, North Macedonia, Bulgaria, Romania, Kosovo (UNSCR 1244/1999), Montenegro, Greece, Turkey, Albania, Cyprus, Moldova, Ukraine, Israel, Lebanon and Jordan. Since it is an advanced course, it is designed for more experienced forecasters.
The applications to this course are based on the nominations by the heads of the NMHSs.
Dates: 17 - 21 March 2025
Location: Athens, Greece
Applications deadline: 31 January 2025

ESSL and EUMETSAT organize a series of testbeds to prepare forecasters from the EUMETSAT Member States to use the data from Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) and Metop Second Generation (Metop-SG) satellites. These testbeds are organized both to teach forecasting severe convective storms, using state-of-the-art or even experimental forecasting tools, and to evaluate such tools. Forecasters will learn by making severe weather forecasts and nowcasts using a mix of new nowcasting and forecasting tools, followed by a verification. Particular focus will be given to the use of MTG satellite data and products, from both FCI and LI sensors. In addition, a range of state-of-the-art nowcasting tools and numerical weather prediction-based guidance (i.e. from DWD, ZAMG, ESSL, and ECMWF) will be evaluated.
Target group: Forecasters from the EUMETSAT Member States who train other forecasters and forecasters with a strong background in severe storms meteorology.
Location & dates
All testbeds will take place at ESSL Research and Training Centre (Wiener Neustadt, Austria).- 5 - 9 May 2025

In early 2025, EUMETSAT will convene the next iteration of the "Supporting Marine Earth Observation Applications (SMA)" course, introducing you to our marine data catalogue and helping you develop workflows that support your own application-specific goals. If you wish to learn about, or work more extensively with our satellite derived, ocean colour, sea surface temperature, altimetry, sea ice or wind data, then we encourage you to apply. This year, the course will be delivered in partnership with the University of Hull.During this course you will learn how to independently access and process data from the EUMETSAT product catalogue for your marine workflows and applications. The focus will be on 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 Satellite Application Facility (OSI SAF).
Training will take place entirely online and through two phases, which will be support by experts in the relevant fields;
-
The first, self-paced phase will take place between 24 February and 14 March 2025 and will take approximately 9-15 hours in total to complete. It will involve self-paced flexible learning through webinars, forums and technical checks (particularly for software installations), documentation and assignments.
-
The second, virtual classroom phase will be take place between 17 March and 21 March 2024 using Zoom and other collaborative tools. This phase will be made up of interactive tutorials, live demos, group work, and 1:1 meetings. During this intensive week, which will require 5-8 hours of participation each day, we will focus on co-creating a mini-project directly relevant to your application of interest.
During the course, you will;
- Learn about the specifics of the marine products that EUMETSAT provides (variables, timeliness, resolution, data formats) Select appropriate products from the EUMETSAT marine catalogue and access them using GUI-based and automated services.
- Use relevant software tools, such as SNAP, and scripting languages, such as Python, to acquire, visualise and process Earth observation data from multiple sources.
- Work with trainers to design workflows around these products and tools, tailoring approaches to the specific needs of a participant-defined application
Applications for this course are open. -
