EUMETSAT Training Resources for Atmosphere Fires and Dust

EUMETSAT supports Copernicus user uptake activities aimed at providing the right tools for using its data collections. These activities are delivered mainly through structured training that combines scientific background, practical workflows and demonstrations, reusable learning resources, and ready-to-use Jupyter notebooks.

 

This poster presents EUMETSAT’s resources and training in atmospheric composition, with particular focus on applications related to wildfires, and dust events. It is particularly relevant to the meteorological community, as these topics lie at the intersection of meteorology, air quality, and environmental hazard monitoring. In this context, the poster illustrates how EUMETSAT contributes to capacity building and knowledge sharing across the meteorological community.

 

EUMETSAT will bring together a set of resources developed to support different stages of the user journey, from data discovery and interpretation to application-oriented analysis. These resources include thematic use cases, technical and application guides, Jupyter notebooks, and training materials that provide step-by-step support for working with atmospheric composition datasets. Among these resources is the recently developed Satellite data for Fire Management Guide, which provides information, beyond EUMETSAT-specific data, on the study of pre-fire, ongoing fire, and post-fire conditions through Earth Observation. Together, these materials are designed to lower technical barriers, improve understanding of the available products, and encourage hands-on use of EUMETSAT and Copernicus data.

 

The objective of the poster is to provide participants with a one-stop shop for relevant information, practical guidance, and supporting materials related to atmospheric composition applications. Additionally, it aims at showing how EUMETSAT works to equip users with the knowledge and tools needed to better understand the atmosphere, monitor fires, and analyse dust events through Copernicus satellite observations. It also reflects ongoing efforts to develop a clearer visual identity for EUMETSAT and Copernicus Atmospheric Composition training and user support activities, helping users to recognise and navigate the available resources more easily.
