We are pleased to announce the successful conclusion of our workshop on cloud remote sensing, held at the National Observatory of Athens on July 15-17. This event was an integral part of the PANGEA4Cal/Val project, designed to provide an enriching experience for students and researchers dedicated to atmospheric sciences, with a particular emphasis on cloud and precipitation remote sensing observations.
Workshop Highlights:
• EarthCARE Mission: Participants gained exclusive insights into the cloud and precipitation products of the Earth Clouds Aerosols and Radiation Explorer mission.
• First EarthCARE Data: Attendees became familiar with the initial data releases from the EarthCARE mission.
• Data Simulators: Participants learned to use simulators that convert data into formats compatible with models, ground-based, and satellite observations.
We extend our sincere gratitude to the esteemed experts who contributed to the workshop:
• Professor Alessandro Battaglia - Politecnico di Torino
• Professor Pavlos Kollias - Stony Brook University
• Dr. Lukas Pfitzenmaier - University of Cologne
