- types and conceptual models of severe convective storms, terminology
of severe convective weather (invited speakers);
- climatology of severe convective storms and related weather
phenomena in Europe, specifically:
- severe wind phenomena produced by convective storms, including
both damaging straight-line winds (downbursts, microbursts) and
tornadoes,
- hail, heavy precipitation, and electrical phenomena produced by
thunderstorms and related mesoscale systems;
- detection, monitoring and research of severe convection by remote
sensing techniques:
- Doppler radars,
- lightning detection and localization systems,
- weather satellites;
- ground and airborne surveys of damage caused by severe convective
weather;
- numerical modeling and forecasting of severe convective storms,
synoptic and mesoscale processes associated with deep convection.
