24 The domestic training courses are mainly about FY 3 Satellite Monitoring Analysis Remotesensing Toolkit (SMART). Apply Effect Training and promotion for SMART (2013) On June 14 th 2013, the version 1.0 of the SMART system passed the review of the China Meteorological Administration, and formally relased the product. June 27 th 28 th, training courses for substations of the China Meteorological Administration. On September 12 th 2013, the 7 th International Training Course o meteorological satellite applications was held by training center. International trainingcourses From May 2013, the SMART software was installed in 31 substations of Chinese Meteorological Administration(CMA), and promation at substrations of CMA at Beijing, Inner Mongolia and Yunnan provinces. Nationaltraining courses Beijingmeteorological bureau InnerMongolia meteorologicalbureau 27

25 Training Plan In the future, CMA plans to promote the application of FY 3 data through two ways, one is to set up more training courses, the other is to provide an application software. The 8th International Training Course on Satellite will be hold in 2014, and some special training courses for domestic users will also be hold one by one. The International version of SMART,which can support the disaster monitoring, data analysis and public service, is being developed and will be issued all over the world. 28
