Meet the OSI SAF team

Producing and distributing satellite observation data of the ocean involves the collaboration of experts from various fields. Our team comprises professionals from five collaborating institutions across four different countries, working alongside the SAF coordination team at EUMETSAT. From scientists to project managers, code developers to operations managers, we wish to provide you with an overview of our team through this short video series.
