Since signing a memorandum of understanding in 2006, the KMA and EUMETSAT have held the Meteorological Cooperation Meeting every two years. This 8th meeting was hosted by the KMA and conducted via video conference.
Based on the mid- to long-term plan (2020?2030), the two organizations agreed to continue cooperation in areas including ▲development of hyperspectral infrared sensors ▲greenhouse gas verification ▲technology exchange for satellite-based wildfire detection.
They also exchanged views on the role of satellites in climate crisis monitoring and renewable energy sectors, expanding satellite data support for developing countries, improving data services, and applying artificial intelligence technology to meteorological analysis.
The KMA plans to acquire advanced European technology for future meteorological satellite development and continue cooperation for climate change monitoring.
