User Workshop 4 | 12-14 May 2026
We are pleased to announce that the European Space Agency (ESA) Land Surface Temperature (LST) Climate Change Initiative (CCI) 2026 User Workshop will be held from 12th to 14th May 2026 at the Met Office, Exeter, UK. Further information about the LST_cci project can be found at https://climate.esa.int/en/projects/land-surface-temperature/. The event will be held in collaboration with a training event provided by the ESMValTool team (https://esmvaltool.org/); ESMValTool is a community diagnostic and performance metrics tool for evaluation and analysis of Earth system models.
This event will be held in-person although we are also exploring hybrid options.
Topics for this workshop will include (but are not limited to):
- An overview of the LST_cci project, and its products and outputs
- User requirements for satellite LST
- User applications for satellite LST
- Training in using ESMValTool, including use of LST in evaluating Earth System Models
There will be no registration fee for this event.
Further details will follow in due course. We would be grateful if you could forward this announcement to colleagues. Anyone who would like to register for our LST_cci mailing list can do so by completing the form at https://forms.office.com/e/ZebDgsUDC9or (or by emailing info.lst-cci@acri-st.fr if you are unable to register using MS Forms). Similarly, if you would like to be removed from our LST_cci mailing list at any time, please let us know.
User Workshop 3 | 5-6 December 2024
The last LST_cci workshop has been held as part of a joint satellite remote sensing event taking place at the Space Park in Leicester, UK, 2-6 December 2024:
- Thermal Remote Sensing Workshop (2-4 December) – this is primarily an educational and networking event. Please see the Thermal Remote Sensing Special Interest Group webpages for further information. Please register for the mailing list to receive further information about this group.
- LST_cci Workshop (5-6 December; note 6 December is morning only) – this workshop is about satellite Land Surface Temperature (LST) from both thermal infrared and microwave satellite instruments produced by the ESA LST_cci project and welcomes all current and potential users of any satellite LST data. Please see the LST_cci 2024 Workshop Webpage for further information. Please register for the LST_cci mailing list to receive further information about this project and the workshop.
Topics for the LST_cci 2024 Workshop included:
- An overview of the LST_cci project, and its products and outputs
- Examples of user case studies that have utilised LST_cci data
- User requirements for satellite LST
- User applications for satellite LST
Agenda, presentations and posters
User Workshop 2 | 27-29 September 2022
The LST_cci 2022 workshop held a virtual event, with both live sessions on Zoom and an ‘offline’ discussion forum, where session recordings and posters will are available.
The aim of this workshop was to provide:
- an opportunity for the LST_cci project team to update users on the progress and outputs of the project so far, and to gather new user requirements to guide the development of Phase II (2022-2025) products
- a demonstration of the new LST_cci tool to enable users to re-grid LST_cci products to a different spatial resolution
- a demonstration on how to use and understand uncertainty information in the LST_cci products
- a forum for users to present their work involving LST data
- an opportunity to discuss the use of LST products in climate services, and in particular within the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP)
Agenda, presentations and posters
User Workshop 1 | 24-26 June 2020
The workshop was open to anyone who works with satellite LST data, or who has an interest in working with these data in the future. The workshop provided a forum for both users and providers of satellite LST data to share their experiences and knowledge in this field. The focus of the meeting was on LST data set development and applications.
In addition to providing a brief overview of the LST CCI project, the topics for this workshop includes (but is not limited to):
- Climate user applications for satellite LST
- Climate user requirements for satellite LST
- Development of climate LST data sets
- Uncertainties in satellite retrievals of LST
- Climate services and satellite LST
- The role of satellite LST observations in future IPCC Assessment Reports
