project „EPS Convection“
predictability of small scale processes with non-linear and stochastic processes (e.g. convection) is strongly limited i.e. leads to strong uncertainty already at short lead times
severe events and high impact weather are highly important for warnings in general or in aviation in particular
“charakteristics of HIW” and “limited predictability” leads to use of probabilistic estimation of high-resulotion forecasts of deep convection based on COSMO-DE-EPS
aims at supporting aviation weather forecasts and general weather warning process at DWD

methodology
probabilistic products for convective parameters from COSMO-DE-EPS
DMO (direct model output) variables as well as direct calculatable variables (e.g. KO-index) from DMO
IMO (indirect model output), e.g. thunderstorms produced with regression methods
requirements for IMO (thunderstorm) forecasts: observation of IMO (thunderstorm) as predicand radar + lightning
EPS DMO forecasts as predictor(s)

WWOSC 2014 Montréal, Canada Lars Wiegand, DWD 18th August 2014
observation thunderstorm
combination of radar reflectivity and lightning
RX product advantages: warning criterias are known within DWD (28, 37, 46, … dBz), high
spatial/temporal resolution
adaptions:
conversion into COSMO-DE grid
lightning from NCM network very accurate observations – only 0,02% of all lightnings have errors >2,8km
adaptions:
every grid point within 3km gets a distance weighted amount of a lightning measure
