    Theory on convection, instability and forcing
    Case studies on hailstorms, heavy precipitation, lightning, tornadoes and straight line winds
    Numerical simulations in particular on mesoscale domains and by clouds resolving models
    Severe storms and satellite information
    Severe storms and RADAR information
    Forecasting and nowcasting of severe storms
    Climatology and databases of severe storms and related weather phenomena
    Severe storms and climate change
    Microphysics and electrification in severe storms
    Social, economical and cultural aspects of severe storms
