Cold-ring shaped storms in Central Europe
Original language description
This paper addresses satellite observations of Central European convective storms which exhibit a cloud-top feature resembling a cold ring in the IR-window bands, surrounding a distinct central warm spot (CWS). The storms from 25 June 2006 above the Czech Republic and Austria are extraordinary examples of storms with such features ? not only by the magnitude and duration of the cold ring and CWS couplets, but namely by storm cloud-top heights as determined from radar observations. While the cold-ring shaped storms in general are not rare, their duration is usually much shorter and the magnitude is typically smaller as compared to this case. The paper documents this case on the basis of MSG observations, combined with radar data. Further, it discusses the potential of the satellite-observed cold-ring feature as one of the indicators of storm severity. Finally, the paper briefly notes the possible impacts of this feature on some cloud-top related products derived from satellite imagery.
