Training Event Information Dates: 1-4 August 2017, during AmeriGEOSS Week Location: University of Costa Rica Ciudad Universitaria Rodrigo Facio Brenes San Jose, Costa Rica What Will I Learn? The majority of the course will be devoted to hands-on exer- cises that focus on display, manipulation, and interpretation of imagery and products that are or will potentially be availa- ble through the GNC-A broadcast. The display tools being uti- lized during the workshop include McIDAS-V, ILWIS, and GDAL. Case examples will highlight meteorological and envi- ronmental applications of the new GOES-16 and JPSS satel- lites. In which language(s) will the training course be of- fered? The course will be given in Spanish and English. Are there prerequisites? We recommend that participants have three or more years of experience using satellite imagery either in their occupation or in teaching or training on remote sensing applications. Us- ers are also encouraged to review the first 6 modules of the Satellite Foundation Course for GOES-R/16 before the work- shop (http://rammb.cira.colostate.edu/training/visit/training_sessi ons/satfc-g.asp). Examples using McIDAS-V will be made available to registrants one month before the workshop that will highlight a feature of interest using GOES-16 or JPSS im- agery. During the workshop, participants will be able to adapt the existing examples for their own language and region of interest, or develop a unique example on their own. Who are the instructors? Dr. Bernie Connell – CIRA (USA) Diego Souza – CPTEC/INPE (Brazil) NOAA expert instructor (USA) Costa Rican expert instructor(s) Where Do I Sign Up? Training on Satellite Data: Access through GEONETCast Americas, Display, Interpretation, and Usage In 20 years of interacting with WMO member countries, particular- ly those with limited resources, recurring “gaps” for real-time im- agery and products include 1) affordable access to quality real- time data, 2) access to low cost software for both display and ma- nipulation, and 3) training on usage. This training focuses on a few practical means to address these gaps. What is GEONETCast Americas? GEONETCast Americas (GNC-A) is the Western Hemisphere com- ponent of GEONETCast, a near real time, global network of satel- lite-based data dissemination systems designed to distribute space-based, air-borne and in situ data, metadata and products to diverse communities. This user-driven, user-friendly and low-cost information dissemi- nation service aims to provide global information as a basis for sound decision-making in a number of critical areas, including pub- lic health, energy, agriculture, weather, water, climate, natural disasters and eco-systems. GEONETCast is part of the Group on Earth Observation’s contribu- tion to the organization of the Global Earth Observing System of Systems (GEOSS) Collaborators: WMO VLab Established by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the Coordination Group for Meteorological Satellites (CGMS), the Virtual Laboratory for Training and Education in Satellite Meteorology (VLab) is a global network of specialized training centres and meteorological satellite operators work- ing together to improve the utilisation of data and products from meteorological and environmental satellites.
