29 Oct 2008 - Two presentations
On 27th October there were two presentations given by Caroline Forster (DLR) and Rob Groenland (KNMI) dealing with convection and aviation meteorlogy. Caroline presented the projects "Wetter und Fliegen" and the EU funded project FLYSAFE. Rob showed the concept of Aircraft Induced Lightning (AIL) in which especially during the wintertime the airplanes approaching Amsterdam Airport are struck by lightning. Research to this phenomena and an objective forcast system was presented. Both of these presentations were recorded and can be downloaded from this location

Concept
|
Through the years the NMSs of Austria, Netherlands and Finland have operationally produced SatReps. By combining satellite imagery with NWP a satellite image was parsed into conceptual models. Currently up to 60 of these conceptual models exist and are fully described in SatManu, the Manual of Synoptic Satellite Meteorology. The analysis of a satellite image by these conceptual models has proven not only to be useful to the forecaster but is also of great use as a trainingtool. This website offers both. On a monthly basis a SatRep producer will do a live weather briefing with the SatRep method being the main topic.

Todays Images
|
Test your satrep skills with todays images. By overlaying a selection of ECMWF parameters on Meteosat Satellite imagery you can test your knowledge in the recognition of conceptual models. The images are refreshed four times a day at 00, 06, 12 and 18UTC
|
Todays images present a set of basic and derived ECMWF parameters and the corresponding satellite images. These images are refreshed every day. |
|
|
Collaboration Mode
|
Also the collaboration mode of Satrep Online is updated four times a day. You can view all the images synchronously with your friends by each downloading a relevant ZIP file here (size appr. 16 MB; each ZIP file is processed 70 minutes after the nominal time): 12 UTC 18 UTC 00 UTC 06 UTC
|
After downloading the ZIP file each participant should extract the contents of the ZIP file and join the session by doubleclicking at A_COLLABORATION_VIEW.bat (Windows users) or A_COLLABORATION_VIEW_LINUX.sh (Linux/Unix users).
In case primary connection does not work, you can try accessing the session by double-clicking at one of "A_COLLABORATION_VIEW_BACKUP" .bat or .sh files.
After successful logon each participant will be prompted for a screen name. You can open an additional chat window by clicking at Alt-C. Additional information on VISITView Controls you will find during the session by clicking at "See URL" when on page 1 or by clicking here |
