CIMSS at EUMETSAT Meteorological Satellite Conference 2011
Many scientists from CIMSS and the Advanced Satellite Products Branch (ASPB) attended the 2011 European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) Meteorological Satellite Conference held in Oslo, Norway, 5-9 September 2011.
The themes of the conference were current and future satellites, instruments, and applications; assimilation of satellite data into numerical weather prediction models; monitoring climate and understanding climate processes based on satellite data; satellite-based observations of the oceans, with an emphsis on the Arctic; nowcasting; atmospheric composition; and facilitating data access and utilization.
Chris Velden (CIMSS) served on the Program Committee. The presentations from ASPB and CIMSS personnel were (co-authors are not listed):
