Zentralanstalt für Meteorologie und Geodynamik
WGNR Meeting, Geneva8-10 February 2011Strategy and methods
• Combine analysis & nowcast capabilities of NWSs
• Coordinate the optimisation of the warning chain
• Involve application-side from early on
• Set up web platform for access of analyses and nowcasts
• Exchange observational data
• Create Central European nowcasting application framework
