EUMeTrain organised an event week with presentations related to high impact weather. During the week, experts from European, American and West Asian National Weather Services provided an insight into the challenges of forecasting critical weather events such as storms, avalanches and floods.
What uncertainties do forecasters encounter when dealing with high impact weather?
How can they warn people and how long is the lead time?
To obtain a better predictability of high impact weather, it is important to understand the physical/meteorological processes causing them. This event week offered online presentations from meteorologists involved in the prediction of extreme weather situations, which are available in the form of webcasts.
