Virtual WMO Workshop on Core Satellite Data for Nowcasting (15-16 October 2025)

The Workshop will be held online via MS Teams, with daily sessions lasting two and a half hours.

Building on the outcomes of the 2023 WMO Core Satellite Data Workshop, which successfully defined core and recommended data for the global Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP), at this Workshop WMO will be focusing on nowcasting application area.

The primary objective of the Workshop is to establish a list of core and recommended satellite data for the nowcasting application area. The target audience includes representatives from satellite operators and the nowcasting user community.

Expected outcomes of the Workshop are as follows:

  1. To get to know regional requirements for satellite data with regards to nowcasting;

  2. To address the main obstacles to increased exchange of satellite data and specific opportunities to overcome those challenges;

  3. To determine the initial sets of satellite data for nowcasting to be designated as “core” and “recommended” for formal inclusion in the Manual of the WMO Integrated Global Observing System (WIGOS).

 

The agenda of the Workshop will be added in due course.
