Afternoon exercises will incorporate both forecasting of environment leading up to convective storms and nowcasting using satellite data. Each day will concentrate on a specific topic:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Monday<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Theoretical background: <\/strong>Ingredients based methodology \u2013 instability and moisture, CAPE.<\/li><li><strong>Satellite application: <\/strong>Detecting ingredient from satellite: &nbsp;instability indices (Nowcasting-SAF) from geostationary satellites, using IASI sounder data. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tuesday<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Theoretical background: <\/strong>Forecasting likelihood of convective initiation, nature of lift.<\/li><li><strong>Satellite application: <\/strong>Detecting convective initiation in satellite data (low-level boundaries, deepening cumulus field, automatic algorithms detecting initiation). <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Wednesday<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Theoretical background:<\/strong> Types of convective storms in changing vertical wind profile (from single cells to supercells and bow-echoes).<\/li><li><strong>Satellite application: <\/strong>Identifying convective storms and their properties using satellite data. Opportunities and limitations of using satellite data to identify convective storm types. Contrasts to radar and lightning detection network data capabilities.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Thursday<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Theoretical background: <\/strong>Forecasting intensity of convective storms in CAPE \u2013 shear parameter space and forecasting individual hazards.<\/li><li><strong>Satellite application: <\/strong>Nowcasting intensity of convective storms using satellite data. IR-BT signatures (Cold-ring, Cold-U, above anvil cirrus plumes), Storm RGB, Storm top divergence.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Participants are encouraged to share interesting and\nchallenging cases of severe convective storms as well as more general\nconvective storm forecasting issues that they experienced. These can be\ndiscussed in the afternoon hours alongside the practical exercises.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Registration<\/h2>\n<p>To register, please fill in the <a title=\"Event Registration\" href=\"https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/upcoming-events\/event-registration\/\"><strong>registration form<\/strong><\/a> and proceed to pay the registration fee by clicking on the applicable amount below.
