This course will address the benefits of Meteosat satellites in convective weather forecasting in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. With new MTG Meteosat-12 satellite becoming operational, emphasis will be given on utilisation of novel FCI and LI instrument data. The training will be done mostly through hands-on experiences with the real MTG data. Different use cases will be demonstrated through case scenarios (also from the MENA region).
