1 Status and Plans

2 New Centre of Excellence in Morocco Located in the WMO Regional Association I (RAI), the CoE Morocco is hosted by the National Directorate of Meteorology of Morocco and supported by EUMETSAT.

3 VLab Management Group Meetings Face to Face Meetings The sixth meeting of the VLab Management Group (VLMG-6) took place at the National Institute for Space Research (INPE) in São José dos Campos, Brazil, 8-11 October The next VLMG face-to-face meeting will take place in Saint Petersburg, Russian Federation, July 2014.

4 VLab Management Group Meetings Online Meetings Two online meetings took place in 2012 (March and June) and one in March Each online meeting is organised as a set of two mirror sessions, offered at different times. The next VLMG online meetings will take place on the 13 and 14 June 2013.

5 Training Opportunities 2011/2012: Regional Focus Groups (RFG) Offered monthly by RFG Americas and Caribbean and the Caribbean Weather Discussion Group. On a less frequent basis, sessions by the RFG South Africa, CoEs Australia and Niger; Event Weeks Two event weeks on the topic of Aviation were organised in 2012 by CoE Barbados (April) and CoE Australia (July); RGB Workshop - organised by WMO and EUMETSAT in September 2012 in Seeheim (Germany), in liaison with, and support to, the VLab and the WMO Severe Weather Forecasting Demonstration Project (SWFDP); Other online and classroom courses organised by VLab CoEs summed up to a total of 48 courses.

6 Latest Training Opportunities : Precipitation Week This training week consisted of eight online sessions dealing with the monitoring of precipitation from space. The event comprised three topics: 1.VIS/IR Precipitation Estimates, 2.Microwave Precipitation Estimates, and 3.Multi-sensor Precipitation Estimates. Event: Precipitation Week Date: 4-8 February 2013 Initiative: Online sessions: EUMETSAT eight Registered*: 881 Attended live*: countries Played the recorded 72 session** * Numbers presented are the total for the 8 sessions. ** Data from 24/05/2013 Resources available at EUMETSAT Training Zone 5

7 Latest Training Opportunities : WMO/NOAA Train the Trainer Workshop for WMO RA III/IV This Workshop preceded the 2013 NOAA Satellite Conference (8-12 April). It was organised by VLab and the WMO Space Programme, and supported by NOAA as hosts. The event had 22 participants. Main topics: GEONETCast (GNC); Supporting systems, EUMETCast, HRIT/EMWIN/LRIT, GEONETCast- Americas, and GOES Data Collection System; Review of regional requirements and integration of regional dissemination systems; System demonstrations.

8 WMO/NOAA Train the Trainer Workshop for WMO RA III/IV Workshop participants raised some key concerns: In Central and South America and the Caribbean, operational users of satellite data from GOES and other systems require a low-cost, operational and sustained data dissemination system building on GNC-A and EUMETCast. Arrangements for cost-sharing, e.g. of bandwidth fees, should be developed with urgency. Training on the use of satellite data and associated visualization, processing and analysis tools should be made available, taking into account the different needs and skills of satellite data users. Training should in particular involve preparing users from the region for GOES-R.

9 WMO/NOAA Train the Trainer Workshop for WMO RA III/IV Workshop participants raised some key concerns: The proposed standing coordination group for satellite data requirements in RA III and IV should establish user needs for data, products, training, and associated issues (e.g., data formats). The group should ensure linkage to and follow-up by satellite providers at the appropriate level, and represent the needs of a wide variety of users in the region.

10 This is a series of online events covering the information on the new WMO regulations on Aviation Meteorology Competency and related matters. The event has been presented in English, Spanish, French and Russian. Latest Training Opportunities : Virtual Round Table on Competence Requirements for Aeronautical Meteorological Personnel Organised by VLab in collaboration with the WMO Commission for Aeronautical Meteorology Expert Team on Education, Training and Competences (CAeM ET/ETC) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO),
