Introduction
The training aims at developing skills in processing spatio-temporal datasets obtained by running PySEBAL to produce gap-free monthly maps.
Learning Objectives
By the end of training the participants will be able to:
- Explain theoretical framework and basic concepts of PySEBAL
- Run the PySEBAL model
- Analyse spatio-temporal data using scripting in command line
- Perform spatio-temporal gafilling procedure on PySEBAL outputs
Topics covered
- Introduction to remote sensing and PySEBAL
- Introduction to raster based spatio-temporal analysis
- Command line scripting to process spatio-temporal data
- Python based scripting to gap fill spatio-temporal data using Local Weighted Regression
Software required
QGIS 3.16, GRASS GIS 7.8, Python, Bash

Prerequisites
The training will contain several hands-on exercises. The participants are expected to have atleast 2 years of experience working with remote sensing and spatial data analysis. Priority should be given to those who have already attended
trainings from IHE Delft especially on PySEBAL. All the datasets provided will be open access.
