Workshops
8th Workshop
Joint ISWG and LSA-SAF Workshop
IPMA, Lisbon, 26-28 June 2018
The Land Surface Analysis Satellite Application Facility (LSA SAF) aims to increase the benefits accrued from EUMETSAT Satellites, specifically in the areas of terrestrial processes, land-atmosphere interactions and biospheric applications. Land surface models' assessment and improvement are among the target applications of LSA SAF products.
Venue:
IPMA, Rua C-Aeroporto, 1749-077, Lisbon, Portugal
7th Workshop
Joint LSA-SAF and GlobTemperature Workshop
Pavillion of Knowledge, Science Museum, Lisbon, 7-8 June 2017
This workshop is essentially focused on retrieval methods and applications of satellite Land Surface Temperature and it is organized jointly with ESA GlobTemperature project.
The aim is to provide a forum for the satellite Land, Ice and Lake Surface Temperature (LST / IST / LSWT) and Land Surface Air Temperature (LSAT) communities to share experiences and review developments in satellite retrievals and data sets.
