Upper tropospheric conditions in relation to the cloud top features of 15 August 2010 convective storms
Original language description
This study focuses on 15 August 2010, when many severe convective storms occurred over parts of central and Eastern Europe, with some of these exhibiting various interesting cloudtop characteristics observed by weather satellites. The importance of the phenomena of cold-U and cold-ring features in the infrared brightness temperature enhanced imagery stems from the fact that storms exhibiting these features are very often accompanied by severe weather. Therefore, besides the general description of the atmospheric conditions in the area, we seek possible reasons for the different cloud-top appearance of these storms from the perspective of Meteosat Second Generation and polar-orbiting weather satellites. Two main issues are discussed in this paper - theunusually warm appearance of the cloud-top of the "Prague hailstorm" and the presence of cold-ring and cold-U shaped storms in close proximity to the warmer "Prague hailstorm". Both of these issues prove that the storm top appearance is v
