The school will be focused on the radiation theory and principles of satellite remote sensing, microphysics of clouds and precipitation as well as the fundamentals of retrieval methods, satellite imagery interpretation and products for science and operational meteorology. A special focus will be on sensor technology and satellite development, launch, and in-orbit management.
The initiative is open to Ph.D. students in physical, environmental, atmospheric, or related sciences, and early career operational meteorologists and researchers. Applications from talented M.Sc. students will be accepted as well. The training program will be organized through the scheme “frontal lectures – in-depth labs”.
