Convection RGB (Severe Storms RGB)<\/h1>\n

Operationally produced by EUMETSAT<\/p>\n

\n

Application:<\/h2>\n

Monitoring convection in mature phase; detection of severe storms.<\/p>\n

Convection RGB allows an easy monitoring of CB clouds and identification of small ice particles (potentially more severe – yellow) or large ice particles (potentially less severe – red).<\/p>\n

Limitations:<\/h2>\n

Only daytime (especially at noon and close to the noon hours).<\/p>\n

Pros and cons:<\/h2>\n

\u2713 Yellow colour in case of severe convection is a very good alert.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2713 Other information is limited.<\/span><\/p>\n

X Also non-convective Lee clouds and clouds containing atmospheric dust can appear in yellow colour.<\/span><\/p>\n

X In N, E and NE Europe not so applicable because of low satellite viewing angle.<\/span><\/p>\n

X Night-time storms cannot be monitored.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
