Part of the Convection Working Group came together at the EUMETSAT Conference in Geneva Switzerland for a splinter meeting. The minutes of the meeting can be found here: 20141024_CWG_splinter_meeting_Geneva_8Sep2014.
The joint EUMETSAT-ESSL Convection Working Group has met from 7 – 11 April in Zagreb to review the state-of-the-art in the use of satellite data for the detection and prediction of convective storms. Over 40 participants from Europe and around the world presented and discussed their research. The workshop dealt with techniques that assess the preconvective environment, to detect the development of storms and to monitor mature stages of their life cycle. In addition, ways to combining satellite information with other data were discussed. The use of satellite imagery with a very high temporal resolution, such as that obtained in the 2013 experiments with 2.5-minute scans, received particular attention.
