Printed by Meteo France Editors Stephanie Jameson and Will Lang, Met Office Layout Kirsi Hindstrom- Basic Weather Services Published by Météo-France Crédit Météo-France COM/CGN/PPN - Trappes I ntroduction Dear Readers and Colleagues, It’s a great pleasure to introduce the 23rd edition of our newsletter ‘The European Forecaster’. The publica- tion is only possible due to the great work and generosity of Meteo-France, thus we want to express our warmest gratitude to Mr. Bernard Roulet and his colleagues. We kindly thank all the authors for submitting articles, particularly as they all work in operational forecasting roles and thus have only limited time for writing an article. Many thanks go to Mrs. Stephanie Jameson, Dr. Will Lang, Mrs. Evelyn Cusack and Ms. Laura Paterson for reviewing the incoming articles. Last, but not least, we want to thank Dr. Andre-Charles Letestu for updating our WGCEF website www.euroforecaster.org regularly. During recent months, the weather has been quite exciting. A strong zonal flow during late autumn and early winter brought many storms to western and north-western Europe (e.g. storms Caroline, Dylan and Carmen) and to south-western Europe (storms Ana and Bruno) as well. Some storms also affected central Europe, like storms Eleanor or David. Most of these weather events were associated with strong wind gusts, but some were associated with high precipitation amounts too - especially in the higher parts of the Alps, where new snow records were observed. By the end of January, the weather regime changed; during February and March cold continental air from the north-east influenced many parts of Europe. Whereas in central and eastern parts of Europe these air masses were often dry, over the United Kingdom and Ireland, blizzard-like snowfall conditions were observed (referred to as the ‘Beast from the East’ by the media). During April the winter conditions turned rapidly into summer ones. Very warm air masses from the south, and later on from the east, covered central and eastern Europe and even some parts of Scandinavia and the UK. This air was unstable, especially over central Europe, and therefore many thunderstorms occurred. As a result of the weak flow, these thunderstorms moved very slowly or even stayed over the same region for many hours, therefore accumulating more than 100mm of rain within a short period. This led to many flash floods and landslides in those areas. As forecasters we are taking a leading role in supporting people, decision-makers and civil protection agen- cies in being prepared for these severe weather events - to minimise, or even avoid, damage to humans and infrastructure. To keep, or even improve, the high quality of our forecasts, cooperation and scientific exchange between the different NMSs is essential, which is one important goal of our working group. Finally, we want to send many thanks to Mrs. Julianna Drozdzynska, Mr. Piotr Manczak and their colleagues who organised and hosted our excellent 2017 meeting in Warsaw. We hope you find this newsletter enjoyable and informative.

  • CIRA ANNUAL REPORT FY 2014/2015 (Reporting Period July 1, 2014 – March 31, 2015)
    CIRA ANNUAL REPORT FY 2014/2015 (Reporting Period July 1, 2014 – March 31, 2015) COOPERATIVE INSTITUTE FOR RESEARCH IN THE ATMOSPHERE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE The Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA) at Colorado State University (CSU) is one of a number of cooperative institutes (CIs) that support NOAA’s mission. Although this mission continues to evolve, there continue to be strong reasons for partnering between NOAA and the fundamental research being done in the University environment and the students it entrains into NOAA’s mission. Strengthening these ties in satellite remote sensing and regional/global weather and climate prediction, as well as application development, education/training, data assimilation, and data distribution technology make CIRA a valuable asset to NOAA. As the Director of CIRA, I have tried to do everything possible to strengthen CIRA’s ties not only among CSU’s Department of Atmospheric Science, the College of Engineering, and the University, but also the ties among the different groups within CIRA that now covers researchers in Fort Collins and College Park associated with NESDIS, researchers in Boulder working closely with OAR and researchers in Kansas City working with the National Weather Service. With a renewed emphasis on interactions and joint initiatives, we are expanding our collaboration to bring more satellite data to bear upon model evaluations such as we are doing with the High Impact Weather Prediction Project or our new Data Assimilation that are bringing the satellite knowledge gained at the Fort Collins facility to bear on CIRA’s Boulder and College Park groups. With this, we hope to fulfill the promise of being the conduit for developing ground breaking research to address socially-relevant problems that face NOAA and our society today as well as to help train a new workforce that has a broader perspective needed to continue developing decision support tools guided by scientific advances.

  • ANNUAL SUMMARY Atlantic Hurricane Season of 2005
    MARCH 2008 ANNUAL SUMMARY 1109 ANNUAL SUMMARY Atlantic Hurricane Season of 2005 JOHN L. BEVEN II, LIXION A. AVILA,ERIC S. BLAKE,DANIEL P. BROWN,JAMES L. FRANKLIN, RICHARD D. KNABB,RICHARD J. PASCH,JAMIE R. RHOME, AND STACY R. STEWART Tropical Prediction Center, NOAA/NWS/National Hurricane Center, Miami, Florida (Manuscript received 2 November 2006, in final form 30 April 2007) ABSTRACT The 2005 Atlantic hurricane season was the most active of record. Twenty-eight storms occurred, includ- ing 27 tropical storms and one subtropical storm. Fifteen of the storms became hurricanes, and seven of these became major hurricanes. Additionally, there were two tropical depressions and one subtropical depression. Numerous records for single-season activity were set, including most storms, most hurricanes, and highest accumulated cyclone energy index. Five hurricanes and two tropical storms made landfall in the United States, including four major hurricanes. Eight other cyclones made landfall elsewhere in the basin, and five systems that did not make landfall nonetheless impacted land areas. The 2005 storms directly caused nearly 1700 deaths. This includes approximately 1500 in the United States from Hurricane Katrina— the deadliest U.S. hurricane since 1928. The storms also caused well over $100 billion in damages in the United States alone, making 2005 the costliest hurricane season of record. 1. Introduction intervals for all tropical and subtropical cyclones with intensities of 34 kt or greater; Bell et al. 2000), the 2005 By almost all standards of measure, the 2005 Atlantic season had a record value of about 256% of the long- hurricane season was the most active of record.

  • 5.4.1 Severe Storms
    SECTION 5.4.1: RISK ASSESSMENT – SEVERE STORM 5.4.1 SEVERE STORMS This section provides a profile and vulnerability assessment for the severe storm hazards. HAZARD PROFILE Hazard profile information is provided in this section, including information on description, extent, location, previous occurrences and losses and the probability of future occurrences within Delaware County. Description For the purpose of this HMP and as deemed appropriated by Delaware County, the severe storm hazard includes hailstorms, windstorms, lightning, thunderstorms, tornadoes, and tropical cyclones (e.g. hurricanes, tropical storms, and tropical depressions), which are defined below. Since most northeasters, (or Nor’Easters) a type of an extra-tropical cyclone, generally take place during the winter weather months, Nor’Easters have been grouped as a type of severe winter weather storm, further discussed in Section 5.4.2 (Severe Winter Storm). Hailstorm: According to the National Weather Service (NWS), hail is defined as a showery precipitation in the form of irregular pellets or balls of ice more than five millimeters in diameter, falling from a cumulonimbus cloud (NWS, 2009). Early in the developmental stages of a hailstorm, ice crystals form within a low-pressure front due to the rapid rising of warm air into the upper atmosphere and the subsequent cooling of the air mass. Frozen droplets gradually accumulate on the ice crystals until, having developed sufficient weight; they fall as precipitation, in the form of balls or irregularly shaped masses of ice. The size of hailstones is a direct function of the size and severity of the storm. High velocity updraft winds are required to keep hail in suspension in thunderclouds.

  • Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
    City of Waveland Local Hazard Mitigation Plan March 2013 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of hazard mitigation is to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people and property from hazards. The City of Waveland developed this Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) update to make the City and its residents less vulnerable to future hazard events. This plan was prepared pursuant to the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 so that Waveland would be eligible for the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Pre-Disaster Mitigation and Hazard Mitigation Grant programs. The City followed a planning process prescribed by FEMA, which began with the formation of a hazard mitigation planning committee (HMPC) comprised of key City representatives, and other regional stakeholders. The HMPC conducted a risk assessment that identified and profiled hazards that pose a risk to the City, assessed the City’s vulnerability to these hazards, and examined the capabilities in place to mitigate them. The City is vulnerable to several hazards that are identified, profiled, and analyzed in this plan. Floods, hurricanes, and sea level rise are among the hazards that can have a significant impact on the City. Based on the risk assessment, the HMPC identified goals and objectives for reducing the City’s vulnerability to hazards. The goals and objectives of this multi-hazard mitigation plan are: Goal 1 Minimize risk and vulnerability of the community to hazards and reduce damages and protect lives, properties, and public health and safety in the City of Waveland Prevent and reduce flood damage and related losses Minimize impact to both existing and future development Minimize economic and resource impact Goal 2 Provide protection for critical facilities, infrastructure, and services from hazard impacts.
