  21. Translations Translated Modules: 17 en Español , 10 en Francais

  22. Partnerships: EUMETSAT

  23. The ESRC: Environmental Satellite Resource Center

  24. The ESRC: COMET’s Role • Maintain the ESRC website • Populate it with our own materials, including smaller, focused learning-objects derived from our larger training modules • Provide the necessary quality assurance and monitoring to ensure that all resources are appropriate and well described before being made available

  25. Community’s Role in the ESRC • Use the site • Populate it with materials that you know and trust using the online submission form

  26. Coming Soon/In Progress/Next • “Atmospheric Dust”, many global case examples (fall 2011) • “Climate Monitoring from Satellites”(fall 2011) • Jointly funded by EUMETSAT/NESDIS • Additional collections of satellite modules into DL Courses: • Multispectral Applications • Polar-orbiting Satellite Basics • Satellite Sounding • “Introduction to NPP/JPSS”(winter 2011-2012) • Updates to existing polar orbiting-related modules • “Atmospheric Composition” (beginning fall/winter 2011)
