VLab Report - Dec 2022 to Nov 2023


Welcome to the 2023 survey!

The 2023 survey consists of two parts:
  1. A spreadsheet document where you can provide detailed information about your training events.
    1. CoEs can find the document in this link.
    2. Sat Ops can find the document in this link.
  2. Short questions that gather information about your institution and utilization of information during the Dec 2022 to Nov 2023 period. Please press the start button.

Thank you for the information as it will contribute towards the VLab report of activities and help us better understand and support your activities by knowing more about you, your training events and operations, and how to support you from CGMS and WMO.
