High Impact Weather
The goal of this part of the work is to improve our understanding of the physical and dynamic processes governing storms and floods and to develop capability to forecast these phenomena. Short term priorities include:
- Evaluation of TIGGE (THORPEX Interactive Grand Global Ensemble) data
- Development of software to run an NWP convection-resolving model in ensemble mode
- Investigation of passive microwave snow retrievals
- Development of techniques to apply SAR data to urban floods
- Development of a morphodynamic data assimilation system.
