Posted by freemexy on October 10th, 2019


An advanced training course on ocean colour remote sensing will be held in Hangzhou, China from 24-31 October 2019 to promote satellite ocean colour data applications. This training event is sponsored by the International Ocean-Colour Coordinating Group (IOCCG), the European Commission Copernicus Programme, the European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), the State Key Laboratory of Satellite Ocean Environment Dynamics (SOED/SIO/MNR, China), the National Satellite Ocean Application Service (NSOAS, China), and Zhejiang University (ZJU, China).To get more hangzhou news, you can visit shine news official website

The key objective of this training is to help early career scientists to download, analyze and visualize data from the EUMETSAT Copernicus Marine Data Stream as well as the Chinese HY-1C ocean colour mission. Participants will also learn how to use the Marine Satellite Data Online Analysis Platform (SatCO2) for environmental monitoring and scientific research, including water quality monitoring, red tide detection, and marine carbon cycling/climate change investigations.

Students are encouraged to bring their own laptop computers for the hands-on training sessions, but a limited number of desk top computers will also be available for these sessions.

Course Description

The training course will include lectures and hands-on practical sessions, as well as a field investigation to Lake Qiandao to enable students to gain a fundamental knowledge of optical instruments and enable them to make quality measurements.
Early career scientists, including postdoctoral fellows and junior scientists from Asian countries have been invited to apply for this training course. Since this is an advanced training course, all trainees are required to have basic experience in using satellite ocean colour data. The course will be limited to 20 participants. In principal, participants are required to cover the cost of their own travel as well as local accommodation. A limited number of IOCCG scholarships will be available to cover international flights for students residing outside of China, subject to evaluation by a Selections Committee.

Applications for this training course are now CLOSED! The steering committee will review all applications received to date and will inform applicants about the success of their applications no later than 15 July 2019.
