ESA is organizing a
series of online presentations of EarthCARE level 1 and 2 algorithms and EarthCARE validation support tools and facilities, in view of the EarthCARE launch in 2024. The presentations will be given by algorithm and tool developers and are intended to provide ECVT members with information about the services prepared for EarthCARE Cal/Val activities. You are all invited and encouraged to attend.
The
webinar sessions are planned to take place in the European afternoon. The time is chosen to accommodate participants in different parts of the globe. Most webinars are scheduled in the month of June, and one will follow in the last week of September. Below is an overview of the webinar topics, dates and times, along with additional information on the subject.
If you are interested, don’t hesitate to contact AERIS team for the Webex Access!
