The objective of the meeting is to share at the international level the most recent results based on CFOSAT observations.
It will also help to provide scientific advices to the space agencies in charge of the CFOSAT mission, on the data quality, instrument modes of operations and mission centers products.
Two years after the renewel of the science team, all its members are highly encouraged to present their results and pespectives.
