The aim of this course is to give an overview on the basics of satellite meteorology: image analysis i.e. the interpretation of patterns in satellite images that are related to various meteorological phenomena. The course is asynchronous, which means that you can take it at your own pace as all the lectures are pre-prepared.
Quizzes are made for you to check your level of understanding.
This module teaches you how to use satellite data to observe and analyze atmospheric phenomena. It will show you which products can be used to identify dust storms, smoke, fires, precipitation, etc.
