8th Workshop  

Joint ISWG and LSA-SAF Workshop
IPMA, Lisbon, 26-28 June 2018

The Land Surface Analysis Satellite Application Facility (LSA SAF) aims to increase the benefits accrued from EUMETSAT Satellites, specifically in the areas of terrestrial processes, land-atmosphere interactions and biospheric applications. Land surface models' assessment and improvement are among the target applications of LSA SAF products.

Venue:

IPMA, Rua C-Aeroporto, 1749-077, Lisbon, Portugal

7th Workshop  

Joint LSA-SAF and GlobTemperature Workshop
Pavillion of Knowledge, Science Museum, Lisbon, 7-8 June 2017

This workshop is essentially focused on retrieval methods and applications of satellite Land Surface Temperature and it is organized jointly with ESA GlobTemperature project.

The aim is to provide a forum for the satellite Land, Ice and Lake Surface Temperature (LST / IST / LSWT) and Land Surface Air Temperature (LSAT) communities to share experiences and review developments in satellite retrievals and data sets.
