The first advanced SEEMET (South-Eastern Europe Meteorological Training) workshop will take place in April 2016, in Ljubljana, Slovenia, hosted by the Slovenian Environment Agency (ARSO)., The course will focus on the use of satellite and other relevant data and products (ground and radar observations, NWP and hydrological model results, etc.) for flood forecasting.
