Workshop\u00a0by the ESSL Team and external expert guests<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n\n
24 – 27 August 2020
\nESSL Research and Training Centre<\/strong>

\n
The workshop is focused on a special field of \u201cForensic Meteorology\u201d: to determine the type of a past\u00a0damage event (windstorm or tornado) and to estimate the strength of the maximum wind.
\n<\/span><\/div>\n

Topics:
\n– Methods of damage survey and application of wind damage scales
\n– Selected case studies and\/or a current field study, if a recent case is within reach
\n– Expert discussion on damage assessment methods and their future development
\n– Importance of damage assessment for severe storm climatology<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Tentative programme<\/h2>\n

Day 1\u00a0<\/strong>
\n10:00 Welcome
\n10:15 – 17:30 Presentations on various aspects of damage assessment and storm intensity rating with sufficient discussion time after each speaker. A special focus lies on the International Fujita Scale (IF-Scale).<\/p>\n

Day 2 and 3\u00a0<\/strong>
\nField works on a recent wind damage site within reach. Ideally a fresh damage to buildings will be assessed. If not available, forest damage will be analyzed.\u00a0 We can drive within a radius of about 400 km around Wiener Neustadt, including one overnight stay en route. In case of no tornado or severe downburst damage is within reach, the group will work on past cases based on archived photo material.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Day 4\u00a0<\/strong>
\n09:00 – 13:00 Discussion on outcome of field works. Data compilation of the field teams. Drafting of a report on the results and findings.
\n13:00 – 13:30 Final wrap-up and good-bye.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
