GEONETCast + Python Training For Eastern Caribbean States: Moodle is Now Open!

Hi community!

Our colleagues from CIMH (Caribbean Institute for Meteorology & Hydrology) kindly opened the Moodle access for guests. Now you can check all the presentations and recordings from the GEONETCast-Americas Training for Eastern Caribbean States, held virtually on May 3, 5, 8, 10, 12 and 15 (4 hours each day, 24 hour total).

Seven GEONETCast-Americas (GNC-A) are being installed through the “Strengthening Disaster and Climate Resilience in the Eastern and Southern Caribbean” (SDCR) Project and the purpose of this workshop was to train participants on the skills required for the effective exploitation of the imagery and products available in the GNC-A broadcast.

Training included various topics such as a detailed analysis of each equipment of the GNC-A ground stations, maintenance aspects, data access mechanisms, disaster capabilities and an introduction to Python.

Plots Created by the Community [22]: CIMH

Wayne McGeary, from CIMH, kindly shared some plots he is creating with Python, processing satellite imagery and NWP data. He attended the GEONETCast + Python Training For Eastern Caribbean States, held virtually on May.

Thanks for sharing Wayne!
