EUMeTrain: Case Study on severe Convection over Central Europe

Radar images and relevant radio soundings


Radar images

Radar images - radar reflectivity in dBz : time sequence

Severe convective development over Croatia during the 22nd and the 23rd June is shown by radar images. Hail, often occurring in cases of severe development, cannot be detected using only satellite imagery. Weather radars appear as a valuable tool for the real-time detection of hail.


Relevant radio soundings

Radio soundings on 23rd June

In this chapter a vertical profile of the atmosphere is analysed by means of the data from radio sonde measurements.
