GHRSST Outline of Training Plan
The GHRSST Outline of Training Plan was finalised in 2023, following a plenary panel discussion involving GHRSST Science Team members, the GHRSST Project Office and EUMETSAT, during the 23rd GHRSST science team meeting held in Barcelona and online. The document describes the chosen format and target audience of the trainings. Four modules are defined for implementation during 2023/2024.
