Contributions to the WMO/CGMS-VL

The Virtual Laboratory for Satellite Training and Data Utilization (VL) was established to maximize the use of satellite data around the world. It is a collaborative effort that connects the world's major satellite operators with WMO Centers Of Excellence in satellite meteorology. These centers serve as satellite-focused training resources for WMO Members.
