This training course will provide an understanding of how different satellite measurements work and what space observation contributes to daily forecasting and long-term, large-scale measurements for understanding the climate and climate change. Participants will meet specialists in climate and weather issues, observe calibrated measuring instruments, and visit laboratories working on climate issues (research into new energy sources, use of CO₂, etc.). This training course will provide an opportunity to visit the MétéoFrance forecasting department and understand the approach taken by forecasters (models, measurements, instrumentation).
