ESSL and EUMETSAT organize a series of testbeds to prepare forecasters from the EUMETSAT Member States to use the data from Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) and Metop Second Generation (Metop-SG) satellites. These testbeds are organized both to teach forecasting severe convective storms, using state-of-the-art or even experimental forecasting tools, and to evaluate such tools. Forecasters will learn by making severe weather forecasts and nowcasts using a mix of new nowcasting and forecasting tools, followed by a verification. Particular focus will be given to the use of MTG satellite data and products, from both FCI and LI sensors. In addition, a range of state-of-the-art nowcasting tools and numerical weather prediction-based guidance (i.e. from DWD, ZAMG, ESSL, and ECMWF) will be evaluated.
Target group: Forecasters from the EUMETSAT Member States who train other forecasters and forecasters with a strong background in severe storms meteorology.
Location & dates
All testbeds will take place at ESSL Research and Training Centre (Wiener Neustadt, Austria).- 5 - 9 May 2025
