International School on Satellite Meteorology (ISSM) 2025
Tthe Institute of Atmospheric Sciences and Climate of the National Research Council of Italy (CNR-ISAC) and the University of Naples “Parthenope”, with the technical support from Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) are delighted to announce the 2nd International School on Satellite Meteorology (ISSM).
Topics of school
The core program of the school, based on the theory of satellite remote sensing, satellite observation exploitation and next-generation satellite missions for meteorological applications, will be enriched by new advanced themes focused on computational schemes based on artificial intelligence (AI), high performance computing (HPC) for numerical weather forecast and the groundbreaking digital twins of the Earth system. A visit to the ECMWF’s new data centre and the naturalistic-scientific excursion to the WMO Italian Climate Observatory “Ottavio Vittori” on the top of Mount Cimone (2165 m) will be included in the school activity. The Observatory “Ottavio Vittori” is managed by the Institute of Atmospheric Sciences and Climate (ISAC) of the National Research Council (CNR) and represents a strategic platform to study the chemical-physical characteristics and climatology of the South Europe and North Mediterranean basin. The draft program is available on ISSM’s website.
Applicants
ISSM initiative aims to train the next generation of scientists and operational meteorologists to consider remote measurements from space as a key point for understating and modeling meteorological phenomena. The initiative is open to Ph.D. students in physical, environmental, atmospheric, or related sciences, and early career operational meteorologists and researchers. Electronics, Aerospace and Astronautical Engineers who want to enrich their CVs are welcome. All participants will receive the ISSM Certificate of Attendance.
Registration & Costs
The registration fee is 600€ and includes teaching material, coffee breaks, lunches, and social dinner. The school’s fee also includes a visit to the ECMWF’s new data centre and the naturalistic-scientific excursion to the WMO Italian Climate Observatory “Ottavio Vittori” on the top of Mount Cimone (2165 m).
