The COMET® Program (www.comet.ucar.edu) receives funding from NOAA NESDIS and the NPOESS Integrated Program Office (IPO), with additional contributions from the GOES-R Program Office and EUMETSAT, to directly support education and training efforts in the area of satellite meteorology. This partnership enables COMET to create educational materials of global interest on geostationary and polar- orbiting remote sensing platforms and their instruments, data, products, and operational applications. Over the last several years, COMET's satellite education programs have focused on the capabilities and applications of the upcoming next generation operational polar-orbiting NPP/NPOESS system and its relevance to operational forecasters and other user communities. COMET's activities have recently expanded to include education on the future Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES-R). By partnering with experts from the Naval Research Laboratory, NOAA-NESDIS and various user communities, COMET stimulates greater utilization of both current and future satellite observations and products. In addition, COMET has broadened the scope of its online training to include materials on the EUMETSAT Polar-orbiting System (EPS) and Meteosat geostationary satellites. EPS represents an important contribution to the Initial Joint Polar System (IJPS) between NOAA and EUMETSAT, while Meteosat imaging capabilities provide an early look for the next generation GOES-R satellites. Also in collaboration with EUMETSAT, COMET is developing future modules on the joint NASA-CNES Jason altimetry mission and on satellite capabilities for monitoring the global climate. COMET also provides Spanish translations of relevant GOES materials in order to support the GEOSS (Global Earth Observation System of Systems) Americas effort, which is associated with the move of GOES-10 to provide routine satellite coverage over South America. This poster presentation provides an overview of COMET's recent satellite training efforts and publications, highlighting new materials relevant to both polar-orbiting and geostationary satellites. The presentation also showcases COMET's new community-drive Website, the Environmental Satellite Resource Center (ESRC), sponsored by the NPOESS IPO, NOAA, and NESDIS. The ESRC (www.meted.ucar.edu/ESRC) provides search capabilities and free access to a wide range of polar-orbiting and geostationary satellite information and training resources from multiple trusted sources, including MetEd (www.meted.ucar.edu).
