Motivation
• Why?• Where?• When?• The recent experience (NOMEK, EUMETSAT and ECMWF
workshops, Eumetcal blended courses, EumeTrain minicourses, Nordic Council of Ministers fellowship for 2 weeks at SMHI and NMI)
• Encouragement (Director, colleagues, family…)• If not ME, then WHO?

WHY SATREP?
• Lack of knowledge• Actual and useful everyday information • Easy and quick to exercise• The only easy way to get fresh scientific interpretation of the
actual weather • Determination of conceptual models• Keep pace with European NMHSs
![Page 8: Lietuvos hidrometeorologijos tarnyba prie Aplinkos ministerijos Applying the knowledge acquired within WMO fellowship at ZAMG (Austria) and DWD (Germany)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e845503460f94b853b3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
WHY BIOMETEOROLOGY?
• Useful and contemporary information to common people • Lack of knowledge• Improve and reform biometeorological forecasting in Lithuania• Keep pace with European NMHSs• Work on PhD Thesis
![Page 9: Lietuvos hidrometeorologijos tarnyba prie Aplinkos ministerijos Applying the knowledge acquired within WMO fellowship at ZAMG (Austria) and DWD (Germany)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e845503460f94b853b3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
WHY ZAMG?
• One of the main institutions for severe weather case studies and analysis in Europe
• Good impression about work done by collegues and teachers from ZAMG (according to workshops, courses, SatRepOnline)
• Clear and useful scientific material published by Austrian meteorologists

Participation in scientific events• Training School at UTCI in
Warsaw, April 2009; • Presentation on “Heat-health
warning systems in Europe” in Third Biannual Workshop on Climate and Health held in Boulder, USA, July, 2009;
• Planning meeting on Heat-health warning systems, Shanghai, China, July, 2009.
Unique event – she saw the Solar Eclipse in Shanghai

Outcomes
• Lithuania - a member of SATREP programme• More qualified analysis of severe weather phenomena• Case study poster presentation at ECSS2009 in Landshut• Biometeorology group at LHMS• Start and development of Heat-health Warning System at
LHMS• Closer international cooperation between LHMS and foreign
NMHSs or Institutes

Advantages, notes, recommendations
• The main value of the fellowship Gain knowledge and make contact with highly-qualified specialists Wider view on conceptual models and biometeorology New ideas to improve forecaster’s work and make it up-to-date New advantageous challenges to LHMS The first and interesting experience provided for ZAMG• Notes Useful requirement - to write a report about work done Easy and flexible way to set the date and place with WMO
representatives Scope of the fellowship chosen very well Too long response by e-mails from WMO It was not easy to find an institute for fellowship in biometeorology• Recommendations• Too much paperwork and information to fill in application form• Better to buy flight tickets by fellow and then reimburse the money• Support for short studies of local languages - big help to familiarize with
national culture and people

Future works
• Regional SatRepOnline• SatRep workshop in Vilnius• Participation in WMO project at EXPO2010• Origination of biometeorological forecasts at LHMS• Integration into European Heat-health Warning System• New application for WMO fellowship in Radar Meteorology
