9th Workshop - Joint SALGEE and LSA-SAF Workshop

EUMETSAT HQ, Darmstadt, Germany 25 - 26 November 2024

The workshop focused on the application of EUMETSAT land-surface data in the field of vegetation and drought monitoring. Users of EUMETSAT land-surface data working in either research or operational services were invited to present their studies and/or operational applications. EUMETSAT and the relevant SAFs also presented their existing and planned products and services.

The Workshop provided a platform to discuss current and future user needs to consider in the evolution of EUMETSAT products and services.

The agenda and presentations are available:
