POSTER Session 1

Advanced training materials and tools for the next generation of ocean color remote sensing experts

To support the current and next generation of experts in the marine remote sensing community, EUMETSAT is facilitating the development of a range of advanced training material and tools. The material and tools cover a wide range of topics that can support current activities, and equip the next generation of experts with the knowledge and skills needed to access and process data, conduct validation activities, and more. Development of material and tools is taking place through collaboration with current scientific studies and community projects, as well as through collaboration with community members during our marine training courses. In this poster, examples of current materials are showcased including: Advanced data access tools using Python based clients and APIs to navigate and access collections of Sentinel-3 OLCI data The exploitation of the ThoMaS (Tool to generate Matchups of OC products with Sentinel-3/OLCI) toolkit Demonstration models for learning about ocean color inversion and algorithm development Exploitation of new updates to OLCI operational products These tools are developed as Python-based Jupyter notebooks and, in the case of the demonstration models, will be accompanied by guidance on how to use them to both learn and train. All material will be distributed via the EUMETSAT GitLab and made openly available for reuse by the community under open source licences. EUMETSAT seeks both feedback on existing material, and requirements for defining future developments. Experts who wish to contribute and collaborate on the development of this material are welcomed.
