Cold U/V Model
Satellite based V pattern storms had 70% probability of producing severe weather (McCann, 1983). The model of V-Storms with satellite data had been introduced by Heymsfield & Blackmer (1988) is given at Figure 3a. SEVIRI images both VIS and IR are well-defined in general the V-Storms even single cycle. IR10.8 image with a kind of lookup table is given Figure 3b. Cold Area (CA) is -72, Close-in Warm area (CWA) is -55.5 and Distant Warm Area (DWA) is -58°C. Wide view is given at Figure 4 and HRV image at Figure 5.
