SUMMARY:8th ESA-ECMWF-EUMETSAT joint training in atmospheric composition
DESCRIPTION:\n\nThe course\n\nThe European Space Agency (ESA)\, the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT)\, the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) with the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) are organising the Eighth annual Joint Training on Atmospheric Composition\, hosted by the  Laboratory of Atmospheric Physics\, School of Physics\, Faculty of Sciences\, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki\, Greece from 19 to 23 October 2026.  The course builds on nearly a decade of rich heritage\, and past examples of trainings\, including pre-training webinars\, can be found at the link below:https://atmostraining.info/ \n\n\n\nSpecific Goals\n\n\nThe training will introduce the participants to state-of-the-art satellite remote sensing\, ground-based and in-situ measurement techniques for atmospheric composition monitoring and chemical transport modelling in a global context. This year the course is focused in the Remote Sensing of Air Quality\, and the key topics will include: \n\nThe recently launched Sentinel-4 and Sentinel-5 missions\nTools and techniques for retrieving concentrations of pollutant gases from satellites\nPrinciples of atmospheric chemistry/dynamics and relevance on climate and air quality\nCombining data from different satellite instruments\nMethods underlying how high-quality satellite retrievals can improve the reliability of air quality models and forecasts\nScience communication\nAdditional aims include fostering collaboration amongst participants and encouraging the development of individual and team projects using the data\, resources and methodologies present\n\n\nTarget audience\n\nThe training is of interest for PhD students\, early-career scientists\, researchers from academia and research institutes\, industry\, and anyone interested in atmospheric composition monitoring and modelling. On site training participation is limited\, and selection is competitive. \nWe are pleased to announce that the webinars prior to the in-person training will be accessible to all. Basic knowledge in the concept of remote sensing and working knowledge of python is expected. \nParticipants from ESA\, EUMETSAT and ECMWF member states are given preference for the in-person training; however\, participants from all other countries are also welcome to apply\, subject to availability of space. \n\n\n\n\n\nSchedule and Deadlines\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApplications opening : 26 March 2026\n\n\nApplications closure: 15 May 2026\n\n\nNotification of acceptance: June 2026\n\n\nIssue of Preliminary Programme: July 2026\n\n\nIssue of Final Programme: at the training course\n\n\nTraining Course:  19-23 October 2026\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n  \nAll the information on the application process and the logistic information are available on the training 👉dedicated website.\nTraining  Organisers contact email: 📧 eotraining@esa.int \n  \nESA Privacy Notice DPNR 3440\n
