An absolute top-level activity!<\/strong> <\/span><\/div>\n
We suggest this course for advanced meteorologists and experienced warning forecasters:<\/span><\/div>\n

Much progress has been made in forecasting severe thunderstorms during the past decades owing to an improved understanding of the governing processes, better remote-sensing capabilities, and increased computer power. The goal of this course is to provide the participants with a robust, up-to-date conceptual understanding of the governing processes and forecasting strategies.<\/p>\n

The lectures target meteorologists with prior forecasting experience of mesoscale weather and prior exposure to the fundamentals of atmospheric dynamics. The lectures will cover the dynamics and prediction of severe thunderstorms and their attendant hazards, drawing upon the body of understanding obtained from decades of prior theoretical, observational, and numerical modeling studies, as well as the latest, state-of-the-art strategies in use today.<\/p>\n
