Project Conceptual Models for Southern Hemisphere CM4SH
In cooperation with:
Ab Maas, retired trainer/meteorologist Dutch Met office
KNMI.
Conceptual ModelConceptual Model is a attemp to describe the
complexety of the atmosphere and make it understandeble for the
user.
Project from 1995 2005
Collaboration of several European Met. Institutes with support
of Eumetsat
End Result: MANUAL OF SYNOPTIC SATELLITE
METEOROLOGY(SatManu)
50 conceptual models described
The Manual is designed to be used by:
1. University students with a basic knowledge of synoptic
meteorology and satellite meteorology
2. Meteorologists and forecasters
The manual is maintained and modernized within
EumetrainConceptual Models in Satellite MeteorologyThe initiative
came from Austria Dr. Veronika Zwatz-Meise.
Satmanu has proved its value as a training- and a forecasting
toolthroughout Europe and outside.
The idea of using conceptual models in satellite meteorology is
of course not only a European thought there is an interest all over
the world.
The idea to widen the CM thinking to other parts of the globe
and to developConceptual Models more appropriate for other regions
was made more concreteduring courses is South Africa in 2010
Eumetsat course in Pretoria and the CalMet conference also in
Pretoria.
More WMO Vlabs were interested.
After initiatives from Eumetsat (Volker Gaertner) and the hard
core of Satmanu developers ( Veronika Zwatz-Meise, etc.)
The project started in January this year and will end in March
2014 with a possibility of extension.Not only EuropeHamburg, CoE
meeting Brazil. Jef Wilson. Roger Deslandes
The purpose and objectives of the projectThe purpose of the
project is to improve warnings and awareness of weather risks
through the use of conceptual models.
. The Objectives of the project are to produce and make
available resources about Conceptual Models for the CoE areas of
interest.
To make these resources also available for other training
institutions within region. To increase the operational forecasters
understanding of the weather systems with the help of Conceptual
Models.
The same as we had during the development of Satmanu.
Understanding not only for WF but also for students.
The outcomes, deliverables and the benefits expectedOutcome and
deliverablesA comprehensive list of CMs in the areas of interest of
all participating VLabs/CoEs with already existing literatureA
quick-look collection of interesting CM cases from archive and
actual cases with quick-look descriptionsSome fully developed
representative examples (which and how many TBD) preferable in a
SH-SatManu versionCross connection among material (different styles
already existing)
Expected Benefits
Optimal training material for VLabs/CoEs and other training
institutionsBasis for integration in application methods in weather
services (Nowcasting and warnings)

Joint CALMet X and Eumetcal Workshop 26-30 August 2013 Toulouse,
FranceOur main goals: Working towards a SatManu for the region in
Spanish versionTo make this new resource available for the local
forecasters and the regional community
Opportunity to:
Start to develop training material in Spanish knowledge transfer
from documented studies to forecasting tools
Be assisted by the European experts benefit from their
background
First inspection of the actual training needs of forecasters
Reinforce interaction between institutions (university) and
other countries (Brazil, Chile)

Reasons for selecting this case:1. MCS associated with the SALLJ
event was one of the biggest during the warm season of 2002-2003.2.
High values of accumulated rainfall over central-east of
Argentina.Additional information:Squall line.Initiation: Potencial
Convective InstabilityCVA at mid levels. Discontinuity of water
vapor at low levels.Convergence at the exit region of the LLJ.
Joint CALMet X and Eumetcal Workshop 26-30 August 2013 Toulouse,
FranceThis initiative have already had some spin-offs:
More interaction between different departements within the NMS
and with the University
Chance to explore new key parameters/variables (suchTermal front
parameter) which better describe our regional events
It revealed gaps of information to develop other CMs regional
scientific studies to match the SatManu contents are needed
Points out the need of skill and technical support for the
implementation of the e-learning training
We need support to form trainers
