The European Weather Cloud (EWC) teams at ECMWF and EUMETSAT are pleased to invite you to two upcoming EWC introductory webinars in November. 

These webinars are aimed at new or prospective users of the EWC service, which is available to ECMWF and EUMETSAT Member and Co-operating States. Focusing on the basics to get you started, these webinars will show you around our cloud portal Morpheus, which should give you a taste of the features available and how to carry out the main operations, including deployment of instances, using the object store, and simple automation.

The two introductory webinars will be similar in content but each of them will focus on a particular side of the EWC - either ECMWF or EUMETSAT - and cover information specific to each host.

If that sounds interesting to you, you may register to one of the two 1-hour webinars based on your focus:

You will find the registration form in the left-hand side menu of the pages above. We will alert you of your acceptance to the webinar and send you all the joining information and Microsoft Teams meeting details in due course.

Please note that these webinars are open to anyone from an ECMWF or EUMETSAT Member and Co-operating State, and will be conducted in English.
