Summary
1. For "early warning"– NWP (monitoring with corresponding measurments and/or satellite images)– NWP: Regions of convection– Radiosoundings
2. Nowcasting– before clouds develop and during convection's onset: Airmass / WV
• some hours before hints to probable convection (consider also the movement of relevant structures (PV-maxima))
– HRV with first hints, followed by a) radar b) IR and composites– After convection started
• Airmass and WV with reduced benefit• "Severe convection" very helpful for development's potential• IR: hail, V-structures (according enhancement)• HRV: Overshootings, most active convection, V-structure, bow-structure• Fine structure: radar• Thunderstorms: Lightning detection
• Observations / measurements, of course!
