An example of such a collaboration is the partnership with EUMETSAT to develop blended (face to face and virtual) trainings since 2010 when\u00a0 the use of internet became widely accepted and available to most National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) in Africa. This collaboration simplified the training and allowed more than 80 participants to be accommodated and trained online every year. The course aims at enabling the participants understand the fundamental remote sensing principles that help participants understand the information available in satellite imagery, identify atmospheric systems and features from satellite imagery, apply the satellite products and data in forecasting. The learning activities includ reading of resources, practical case studies, quizzes, discussion forums and Weather briefings.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6de3d148 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6de3d148\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-654567c8\" data-id=\"654567c8\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7f399b9e elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"7f399b9e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-14138b3 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"14138b3\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-715038c\" data-id=\"715038c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-30bb531 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"30bb531\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/wmo-sat.info\/vlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Kenya-6-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-742\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wmo-sat.info\/vlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Kenya-6-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wmo-sat.info\/vlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Kenya-6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wmo-sat.info\/vlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Kenya-6-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wmo-sat.info\/vlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Kenya-6-391x260.jpg 391w, https:\/\/wmo-sat.info\/vlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Kenya-6-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/wmo-sat.info\/vlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Kenya-6-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/wmo-sat.info\/vlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Kenya-6.jpg 1386w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Group photo during a Satellite Applications Course Training<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3ec93c66 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3ec93c66\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-267aa15b\" data-id=\"267aa15b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b2864a7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b2864a7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>As one of the implementers of African Satellite Meteorology Education and Training (ASMET), \u00a0IMTR collaborates with other Regional Training Centers (RTCs) and partners, namely, South African Weather Service (SAWS, South Africa), EAMAC\/ASECNA (Niger), Morocco National Meteorology Directorate (DMN, Morocco), EUMETSAT (Germany) and COMET (UCAR, USA) to produce online and CD-based learning modules that train African forecasters how to enhance their forecasts by making better use of meteorological satellite images and products.
