6 Objective of INCA-CE Nowcasting Road safety Winter maintenance RWIS Civil protection Storm warning Chemical hazards 1x1 km resolution 15 min update frequency Hydrology Flash floods Large scale flooding

7 The Central Europe Programme JTS, 8 EU countries 1 third country Surface: Around km² Population: Around 148 million citizens 7 (and more) languages 4 Programme Priorities: Innovation Accessibility Environment Competitiveness and attractiveness of cities and regions

8 Partnership 16 partners from 8 CE countries Weather services Research institutions National and local authorities Project budget: 3.3 M Project duration: Apr 2010 Sep

9 Partnership: Three fields of application Met Services Road Safety Civil Protection Hydrology ZAMG (AT) SHMU (SK) IMWM (PL) CHMI (CZ) HMS (HU) ARPA-FVG (IT) ARSO (SI) NÖL-RS (AT) CGS (SI) LSZ-B (AT) NÖL-CP (AT) BMI (AT) MINV (SK) DMDSC (HU) DCMP (PL) IOSB (DE) + stakeholders from these application areas + scientific advisory board: 7 specialists in above mentioned fields of intervention SHMU (SK) IMWM (PL) CHMI (CZ) IOSB (DE)

10 INCA-CE work packages I/O standardisation! Parallelisation! Road temperature! Wind gusts! Precipitation! WP1: Management WP4: INCA WP3: Strategy WP5: Pilots WP6: Evaluation WP2: Communication Current systems? Requirements? Application strategy? Road safety Hydrology Civil protection Implementation manual Training material User experience Extension beyond Central Europe

11 INCA: Integrated Nowcasting through Comprehensive Analysis ARPEGE ALADIN ECMWF Station observations (~300 stations) Topography (from 30 USGS DEM) INCA Satellite data (MSG cloud type ) Analyses Nowcasts (< 6h) Forecasts (> 6h) Radar data (max-cappi)

12 INCA details Austrian domain: Region: Eastern Alps Domain size: 600 x 350 km Elevation range: m Resolution: horizontal: 1 km, vertical: m, temporal: 5 min - 1 h 2-D Analyses und Forecasts Precipitation Precipitation type Cloudiness Global radiation 3-D Analyses und Forecasts Temperature Humidity Wind 2-D Convective Analyses Fields Convective Available Potential Energy (CAPE) Convective Inhibition (CIN) Moisture flux convergence Other derived 2-D Fields Snowfall line Icing potential Wind chill

13 INCA precipitation analysis Interpolated station data Radar derived rain rate Calibrated radar rain rates INCA precipitation analysis

14 INCA nowcasting strategy Analysis background Nowcasting method NWP forecast Nowcasting limit Precipitation Cloudiness Temperature & Humidity Radar data Satellite data NWP forecast (ALADIN) Extrapolation with motion vectors ALADIN + ECMWF Extrapolation with motion vectors Persistence + modelled trend Wind NWP forecast (ALADIN) Persistence + modelled trend ALADIN ALADIN ALADIN 6 hours 6 hours 3 to 12 hours (depending on stability) 6 hours

15 From INCA to applications Nowcasting model Downstream models Hydrological model Warning centres Hydrology INCA Landslide model Road weather model Civil protection Road safety

16 Pilot implementations Hydrology Civil protection Road safety
