AMS SATMOC Short Courses in 2024

The American Meteorological Society’s Satellite Meteorology Oceanography and Climatology (SATMOC) Committee offered four very successful and popular short courses during the summer of 2024. This is a continuation of an effort that produced Short Courses in 2023 and 2022 and earlier. Planning for this effort began in winter 2024, and four topics were identified: Monitoring the El Niño – Southern Oscillation and its Impact on the Weather; Extreme Hydro-meteorological Forecasting and Flood Mapping ; Using AI to Predict Convective Weather Hazards ; From Satellites to Solutions: Drought Monitoring with Google Earth Engine. These occurred in 4 separate 3-hour blocks between June 18 and July 16, 2024. More than 1800 students from 127 countries distributed over the Globe registered for the Courses. Attendance for the first 2 classes was around 300; attendance at the third and fourth courses was around 200. This talk will give specifics of each class, including feedback and lessons learned, and will discuss future topics for 2025.
