ISSM school is an immersive experience to THE new horizons of meteorology from space

The International School on Satellite Meteorology (ISSM) aims to train the next generation of scientists and operational meteorologists to consider remote measurements from space as a key point for understating and modeling meteorological phenomena. ISSM training school is focused on Satellite Meteorology as the study of the atmospheric, land, and oceanic systems using remotely sensed data from different sensors onboard meteorological satellites. The basic principles of satellite remote sensing of weather features connected to microphysics of clouds and precipitation is treated, as well as the fundamentals of retrieval methods, AI-based architectures, satellite imagery interpretation techniques and satellite products for science and operational meteorology. High Performance Computing (HPC) for numerical weather forecast, quantum technologies and digital twins of the Earth system (DestinE) are key topics of the school. A special focus will be swept to the sensor technology and satellite mission development, launch, and in-orbit management.

PARTECIPANTS

The International School on Satellite Meteorology (ISSM) provides frontal lectures and practical hands-on sessions for a wide audience of attendees. The training program is open to Ph.D. students and postdoctoral fellows in physical, environmental, atmospheric, or related sciences, early career operational meteorologists and researchers. Electronics, Aerospace and Astronautical Engineers who want to enrich their CVs are welcome. All participants will receive the ISSM Official Certificate of successful completion of training program.
