User Manual
The Manual of Synoptic Satellite Meteorology and the MSG interpretation Guide are two examples of online textbooks developed and maintained within the EUMeTrain project.
SatManu
In 1996, the compilation of a "Manual of Synoptic Satellite Meteorology - Conceptual Models" (or short SatManu) was started, initially by the Austrian Meteorological Institute (ZAMG), but later in co-operation with the Dutch- and Finnish Meteorological Institutes (KNMI and FMI, resp.). The material produced in this manual is was produced in electronic form as a CD-ROM within the framework of sponsored "SATREP" Project of EUMETSAT and is also available online. This type of Computer Aided Learning-material is now widely used as part of EUMETSAT training courses in satellite meteorology, in the training and operational environments of several Member and Co-operating States and by many other meteorological services and research institutes such as Universities world-wide.
MSG Interpretation Guide
The different channels and the wide range of applications that Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) offer are described in a series of powerpoints with contribution from EUMETSAT and the various European National Meteorological Services.
