About the event
Ingredients-based probabilistic forecasting of severe convective gusts (both from gust fronts and downbursts), large hail, and tornadoes.
Forecasting storm coverage and storm top height.
Forecasting the predominant convective mode (storm type), and anticipating the related predominant hazards.
Anticipating severe turbulence in the presence of AACPs (Above-Anvil Cirrus Plumes) above and downstream of overshooting cumulonimbus clouds.
Nowcasting of convection, including dealing with convective developments where numerical model guidance is poor.
Our senior trainer, Dr. Tomáš Púčik, is as passionate about forecasting severe convective storms as one can be. Alongside his past experience in forecasting severe weather at national weather services and at ESTOFEX, he is an active researcher in severe storm environments at the ESSL.
