The Scatterometry team at EUMETSAT has embarked on a gradual transition to Julia over the past few years, and now, it’s an integral part of our daily workflow. In this talk, we’ll delve into key aspects of how Julia is used to support our scatterometer operations.

We will share our experiences and give concrete examples of how we use Julia to support the current ASCAT mission. This ranges from data visualization to instrument calibration and quality monitoring. We will also describe how we use Julia in the preparation for the future SCA mission.

While Julia is not directly used in the operational processing chain, we will discuss its potential and the associated challenges. We have not released any Julia packages yet, but we hope to do so in the future. We will reflect on how this can help empower the end users.
