Investigating the predictability of severe convective outbreaks in central Europe

Projekte

Outbreaks of severe convection in central Europe are often marked by severe weather impacts over a widespread area. Being associated to multiple hazards, such as flash flooding, significant hail, severe straightline winds and intense lightning activity, these events are of considerable interest to society. Convective outbreaks are often associated with a characteristic synoptic situation, hallmarked by southwesterly flow in the mid-troposphere. Although the small-scale convective activity cannot be predicted far in advance, the large-scale flow patterns associated with these events may be possible to predict at longer lead times of days to weeks.

Given the current lack of subseasonal predictions for convection in central Europe, the project 'Investigating the predictability of severe convective outbreaks in central Europe' targets the improvement of our understanding of longer-term processes leading to the build-up of severe convective environments.
