With the User Preparation Webinars, EUMETSAT aims to raise technical and scientific awareness among users, trigger software and algorithm developments for exploiting products, and stimulate the development of applications.

Data from the geostationary MTG Lightning Imager are expected to become available in mid-2023.

The Q&A session is on www.slido.com, event code #MTG-LI.
