Nowcasting of Severe Weather from Satellite Images (for Southern Europe) Petra Mikuš Jurković

Forecasting/ nowcasting of convective storms NWP models cannot well predict the exact location and intesity of convective storms Thunderstorms often produce large hail, severe wind, strong rain, tornadous, lightning For detection and monitoring of convection forecasters often use remote sensing data satellite, radar and lightning data

Benefits of using satellite imagery 30-45 min Courtesy: John Mecikalski to 75 min Pre-convective environment Providing information on the preconvective envirnment, identify general air mass properties Convective initiation Identify the convective initiation phase (before they are seen on radar) Mature convective storms Providing information about cloud tops process useful to estimate storm severity

Pre-convective environment Instability indices derived from satellite data (MPEF GII Global Instability Index) K Index (KI) KO Index (KO) Lifted Index (LI) Total Precipitable Water (TPW) Indicate the location with high potentional for convection development Usually describe a temperature or moisture differences between atmospheric levels Only possible over clear sky!!!
