International Meteorological Satellite Workshop for South-American Users 2
Executive Summary The International Meteorological Satellite Workshop for South-American Users
was a part of a series of meteorological satellite courses provided by the European
Organization for the Exploration of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) in Brazil.
The workshop was held August 20-24, 2007 in Maceió, Brazil. There were a total of 40
representatives of 30 institutions from the government, academia, and the private sector.
The objectives of this workshop were twofold. The first was to describe reception,
processing, visualization, and dissemination mechanisms of data and products derived
from meteorological satellites to support weather operations in South America. The
second objective was to provide a techno-scientific exchange in environmental and
atmospheric sciences between various South-American research institutes. These two
objectives were closely related and successfully met. A fundamental point of the
gathering was the exchange of user knowledge of the EUMETCast reception system
between the various segments of South-American users that were present.
The workshop was hosted by the Instituto de Ciências Atmosféricas (ICAT),
Universidade Federal de Alagoas (UFAL). It is anticipated that future workshops will
continue this effort to explore how best satellite observations complement severe weather
warning operations in South America. The future workshops will involve collaborative
activities between operational meteorological centers and universities engaged in
Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) data.
Recommendations During the workshop, several recommendations were made. They are:
Recommendation #1: Provide two free collaborative workshops to the South-American
users who are clients of EUMETCast system. The first will facilitate the training for the
EUMETCast reception system operators and shall be headed by specialists in the
processing of Meteosat images. The second would be made exclusively to users of MSG
images. Continue to rotate the location of the workshop.
Recommendation #2: Differentiate the acquisition of the EUMETCast between license
and financial contributions to EUMETCast.
Recommendation #3: Continue the EUMETCast data distribution for the South American
users.
Recommendation #4: Create a committee (delegates) to accompany the
EUMETCast/GEONETCast data distribution in the Americas.
Concluding Remarks In summary, this workshop was a productive one. It improved the lines of
communication between potential users from operational meteorological centers and
universities in the EUMETCast data distribution. Each of the presenters and attendees are
to be thanked. Progress was made on each of the two workshop goals mentioned above.
