WMO Nowcasting Course for Africa

World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Education and Training Office in collaboration with the WMO Regional Training Centre in the Kenya Meteorological Department, Institute for Meteorological Training and Research (KMD/IMTR – RTC Nairobi) and the European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), has designed a training course for the development of competencies on the use of satellite data and products in weather nowcasting. The course is focused on enabling English-speaking operational meteorologists from WMO Regional Association I (RA-I) to issue warnings and alerts on hazards and extremes related to weather and climate to the public and communities using satellite data and products as support to the implementation of the Early Warnings for All initiative (EW4ALL) in RA I.
