Information - AW02 Short range forecasting methods of fog, visibility and low clouds
Event Information
The Session is organized by COST-722. The main objective of this Action is to develop advanced methods for very short-range forecasts of fog, visibility and low clouds, adapted to characteristic areas and to user requirements.
Contributions are invited on the following topics:
- Effective advanced methods for processing ground and satellite data
- Satellite data and ground observations to distinguish fog and low clouds
- Methods for statistical pre-processing of satellite data and post-processing of model output
- Study of input data for initializing forecast models (inclusive digital data on topography, vegetation etc)
- Determination of the most important input parameters for statistical forecast methods and models
- Increased understanding of relevant physical processes (e.g., transport mechanisms, cloud microphysics, topography)
- Potential, limitations and improvement of forecasting methods
- Development of forecasting methods and forecasting software suitable for operational implimentation
- Development of techniques to transfer forecast methods developed for one location to another
- Validation of forecast results and of satellite data
