Satellite data products are relevant tools for monitoring marine weather and sea state conditions, as situ observations over ocean are scarce. Without satellite data, in essence, marine forecasters are left to rely solely on model data. In this course, you will learn through practical examples how to better assess current sea and marine weather conditions, and the accuracy of NWP forecasts, with the aid of scatterometer and altimeter data.
This course is part of the spring 2022 edition of EUMETSAT series of online short courses on data discovery for weather, oceanography, air quality and climate.
