to understand reasons and consequences of the limited predictability of the atmosphere, and mesoscale processes so that they can make and verify weather forecasts
  • automated forecasts applying statistical postprocessing to output from numerical weather prediction models
  • how to handle forecast uncertainty: ensemble forecasts and their verification
  • analysis and forecast of mesocale weather phenomena (convection, winter precip, fog, foehn) using appropriate tools (limited area models, objective analyses, radar, satellite, webcams, traditional observing system)
  • applying knowledge to case studies
