This Jupyter book is a sub-module of the core C3S training material, it is published here for reviewing the content prior to publication.

Satellite observations play a crucial role in monitoring various aspects of the Earth’s atmosphere, surface, and cryosphere. In addition they facilitate the monitoring of atmospheric composition, including greenhouse gases, aerosols, and ozone levels. This tutorial series delves into the utilization of satellite observations for various meteorological analyses and environmental monitoring.
