🛰Last week we had a face-to-face training course on 'Meteorological Satellite Products and Applications for Mid-Latitudes' in Montevideo, Uruguay, organized by AEMET / AECID and EUMETSAT, with participants from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Paraguay and Uruguay📡

🌎 A great experience! The instructors covered different products and application areas: nowcasting, fog, ocean, fires, aerosol, vegetation, data access and processing, the new generation of satellites and more. And we also visited INUMET, the Uruguayan Institute of Meteorology.

The instructors were from Spain (AEMET), Portugal (EUMETSAT), Brazil (INPE) and Uruguay (FAU).

Many hands-on activities included! Participants presented their case studies / exercises using satellite data from EUMETSAT / LSASAF and NOAA Satellites, including Metop, Meteosat, GOES-East, GOES-West and NWP data from ECMWF, using Python to create their images! Pytroll

Students accessed and processed NWP data using Brian Blaylock 'Herbie' package, a great way to access NWP #OpenData from NOMADS, AWS, GCP, and #ECMWFOpenData and open the data with Xarray
