Former Training Sessions Archive

These training sessions were developed in the pre GOES-R era and are no longer supported. Although some of the principles may still be applied in the GOES-R era, these are no longer supported training courses and are made available here as reference material.  Be sure to check the link to “Training Sessions” for current, supported courses.
