Improvements to Severe Storm Nowcasting in the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute
Original language description
Contribution at ERAD 2022 conference, Locarno, Switzerland, 29.8.-2.9.2022. Abstract: An updated application JSMeteoView2 for displaying and analyzing of radar and other remote sensing data over various geographical layers has been developed. It is used operationally in CHMI forecast offices as a primary application for displaying of radar and other remote sensing data. Part of this application is also a new implementation of CELLTRACK, a set of utilities for identification of convective storms from radar data, calculation of their characteristics based on radar and lightning data and tracking their development. We have implemented several storm cell characteristics based on radar reflectivity and hail detection algorithms. Since the evaluation using grid fields has its limitations, we alternatively tried to use object-oriented approach based on CELLTRACK identified storm cells. In case of hail detection algorithms we used hail records from European Severe Weather Database and also 24/7 observations from Czech professional meteorological stations in order to try to evaluate also the false alarms of hail detection. The contribution will present implementation of storm cell characteristics into CELLTRACK, results of their evaluation and introduce JSMeteoView2 application with main focus on displaying storm cell characteristics from the updated CELLTRACK tool.
