TRANSCRIPT
The Aim of the Project CMs on SH
• Investigate and develop Conceptual Models on the Southern Hemisphere• Derive, describe and collect the results in appropriate training material
• Target group 1: training institutions• This material is an important basis for Universities, the Centres of Excellence in the
framework of the WMO VLabs and other training centres:• To visualise the dynamical and thermodynamical processes in the troposphere • To give a thorough view on the lifecycle of weather systems
• Target group 2: weather services• The introduction of CM thinking in weather services leads to an application in:
• Analysis and Nowcasting • Weather Warnings and Weather Alarms
• Intended area:– Whole SH but developed in several steps (project phases)
Why a project „CMs on SH“
• Preparation of good training material for a deeper and „visually accompanied“ understanding of the physical processes going on in the troposphere
• CM approach helps in combining the different data sources for getting a quick deep insight in the actual weather situation
• Help in nowcasting and weather warnings• Deepens the use of numerical models and
give hints for model errors

Target group 1: Training Institutions Target group 2: Weather Services
Splitting in Phases
• Definition of CMs:– A conceptual model describes essential features of a meteorological phenomenon and
identifies the principal processes taking place.
• Experience from NH: Atlantic + Europe:– Derivation and Presentation of sets of CMs is a rather „big job“– Working tools like a Visualisation SW for combining satellite imagery with fields of other
meteorological material are necessary
• Logical Step: Splitting of „CMs on WholeSH“ in single phases– Start with an area where knowledge about the satellite material as well as necessary
SW-tools do exist or are easily to adapt from existing ones
• „CMs on SH – 1 st phase“ : Meteosat area: S-Atlantic + Africa + S-America• Involvement of the other areas already in 1st phase
Representatives from EUMETSAT NH area withExperience inCM development + training
Trainers:Interactive + training/discussion camp
Development of CMs for Phase 1 area:Focal point onConceptual models comparable to the N-Atlantic/Europe: fronts, substructures, cyclogenesis
(Preliminary) presentation of results in SatManu
Meteorologists from Africa + S-America (phase 1 area)
Trainees:Passing training in CM development and application
Development of CMs for Phase 1 area:Focal point on area-specific Conceptual models: preferable smaller-scale withhazardous weather
List of cases; description of at least 1 case; Preliminary presentation in SatManu
Representatives from the VLabs on the SH +delegated meteorologists
Trainers + Trainees:Passing training in CM development and application
Collection and survey of basic literature for CMs in their areas
Advice for work in the next phases in:Choice/adaptation of Visualisation SWChoice/adaptation of presentation of results
