Objectives, expected outcomes of the online sessions The technical sessions will last two days and will consist of one introductory session focusing on satellite Data access and training (Session #1) and 3 Working groups sessions : • Session #2 Meteosat Third Generation in Africa, PUMA stations deployment, • Session #3 Climate monitoring, Climate Station deployment, • Session #4 Strenghtening Early Warning System (SEWA) with focus on AMSAF (African Meteorological Sat-ellite Application Facility).
These sessions will allow experts from African NMHSs to exchange on these topics at technical level.
Because the participants of these sessions will not be the same than during the Plenary, some of the themes dis-cussed above will also be presented during the Plenary sessions.
