Satellite Applications Course
This course will cover the basics of remote sensing and application of satellite data to regional forecasting problems. It is aimed at operational weather forecasters.
Parametrization of subgrid physical processes
The processes are: General aspects of parametrization and their relation to systematic forecast errors; Radiation in numerical weather prediction; The parametrization of moist processes (convection…
Use of rapid scan data for monitoring and nowcasting of high impact weather
Benefits of more frequent rapid scan data (e.g. using the 2.5-min experimental data collected with MSG satellites in 2012 and 2013, the 1-min data from…
Seminar on the use of Satellite Observations in Numerical Weather Predictions
Topics to be covered will include a discussion of the value of current and forthcoming satellite observations, with particular foci both on new types of…
