Abstract: he growth phase of convective storms and their transition to maturity is investigated based on more than one hundred cases selected from the years 2012 to 2014 over Central Europe. Dynamical growth properties as well as ...

Abstract: he spatiotemporal evolution of warm convective cloud fields over central Europe is investigated on the basis of 30 cases using observations from the Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager (SEVIRI) on board the ...

Abstract: AbstractObject-based metrics are adapted and applied to geostationary satellite observations with the evaluation of cloud forecasts in convective situations as the goal. Forecasts of the convection-permitting German-focused ...

Abstract: method is presented to analyze the cloud life cycle of frontal systems passing over European supersites. It combines information on the vertical profiles of cloud properties derived from ground-based observations with cloud ...

Abstract: he early development of severe convective storms over central Europe was investigated on the basis of nine cases from 2012. Using data from the Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager (SEVIRI) imaging radiometer ...

Abstract: new automated daytime cumulonimbus/towering cumulus (Cb/TCu) cloud detection method for the months of May?September is presented that combines information on cloud physical properties retrieved from the Spinning Enhanced ...

Abstract: AbstractThe European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) MetOp-A and MetOp-B satellites fly in the same polar orbit with a 180° phase difference, which enables the global retrieval of ...
