  • Meteoswiss Good to Know Postdoc on Climate Change and Heat Stress
    Federal Department of Home Affairs FDHA Federal Office of Meteorology and Climatology MeteoSwiss MeteoSwiss Good to know The Swiss Federal Office for Meteorology and Climatology MeteoSwiss is the Swiss National Weather Service. We record, monitor and forecast weather and climate in Switzerland and thus make a sus- tainable contribution to the well-being of the community and to the benefit of industry, science and the environment. The Climate Department carries out statistical analyses of observed and modelled cli- mate data and is responsible for providing the results for users and customers. Within the team Cli- mate Prediction we currently have a job opening for the following post: Postdoc on climate change and heat stress Your main task is to calculate potential heat stress for current and future climate over Europa that will serve as a basis for assessing the impact of climate change on the health of workers. You derive complex heat indices from climate model output and validate them against observational datasets. You will further investigate the predictability of heat stress several weeks ahead on the basis of long- range weather forecasts. In close collaboration with international partners of the EU H2020 project Heat-Shield you will setup a prototype system of climate services, including an early warning system. Your work hence substantially contributes to a heat-based risk assessment for different key industries and potential productivity losses across Europe. The results will be a central basis for policy making and to plan climate adaptation measures. Your responsibilities will further include publishing results in scientific journals and reports, reporting and coordinating our contribution to the European project and presenting results at national and international conferences.

If your ship is not participating in this worthwhile international program, we urge you to join. Remember, the meteorological agencies that do the weather forecasting cannot help you without input from you. ONLY YOU KNOW THE WEATHER AT YOUR POSITION!! Please report the weather at 0000, 0600, 1200, and 1800 UTC as explained in the National Weather Service Observing Handbook No. 1 for Marine Surface Weather Observations. Within 300 nm of a named hurricane, typhoon or tropical storm, or within 200 nm of U.S. or Canadian waters, also report the weather at 0300, 0900, 1500, and 2100 UTC. Your participation is greatly appreciated by all mariners. For assistance, contact a Port Meteorological Officer (PMO), who will come aboard your vessel and provide all the information you need to observe, code and transmit weather observations. This publication is made available via the Internet at: https://weather.gov/marine/media/rfax.pdf The following webpage contains information on the dissemination of U.S. National Weather Service marine products including radiofax, such as frequency and scheduling information as well as links to products.

  • HURRICANE TEDDY (AL202020) 12–23 September 2020
    r d NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER TROPICAL CYCLONE REPORT HURRICANE TEDDY (AL202020) 12–23 September 2020 Eric S. Blake National Hurricane Center 28 April 2021 NASA TERRA MODIS VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGE OF HURRICANE TEDDY AT 1520 UTC 22 SEPTEMBER 2020. Teddy was a classic, long-lived Cape Verde category 4 hurricane on the Saffir- Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. It passed northeast of the Leeward Islands and became extremely large over the central Atlantic, eventually making landfall in Nova Scotia as a 55-kt extratropical cyclone. There were 3 direct deaths in the United States due to rip currents. Hurricane Teddy 2 Hurricane Teddy 12–23 SEPTEMBER 2020 SYNOPTIC HISTORY Teddy originated from a strong tropical wave that moved off the west coast of Africa on 10 September, accompanied by a large area of deep convection. The wave was experiencing moderate northeasterly shear, but a broad area of low pressure and banding features still formed on 11 September a few hundred n mi southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands. Convection decreased late that day, as typically happens in the evening diurnal minimum period, but increased early on 12 September. This convection led to the development of a well-defined surface center, confirmed by scatterometer data, and the formation of a tropical depression near 0600 UTC 12 September about 500 n mi southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands. The “best track” chart of the tropical cyclone’s path is given in Fig. 1, with the wind and pressure histories shown in Figs. 2 and 3, respectively. The best track positions and intensities are listed in Table 1.1 After the depression formed, further development was slow during the next couple of days due to a combination of northeasterly shear, dry air in the mid-levels and the large size and radius of maximum winds of the system.

Kratzsch and Dr. M. Rohn German National Weather Service, Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD), Offenbach, Germany ([email protected], 069-8062 2254 Many customers of Deutscher Wetterdienst get forecast products (different deterministic meteorological pa- rameters) as so-called Point-Time-Prognoses (PTPs). There’s the need for data of high resolution in space (several kilometers, cities) and time (hourly up to forecast-day 7, updated each hour). Those interpretations of the numerical models have been designed by different methods, called DMO, Model Output Statistics (MOS), Kalman filtering. Because of different model results and different methods there are between five and ten different PTPs for the same location. While a forecaster, based on his experience, can choose between that different interpretations, an automatic customers supply can’t do so. Because updates of those interpretations are only available for each new model run, there’s also the need for more actual forecast data, using nowcasting methods as well as controlling and modifying mechanisms for the forecasters. A process “Objective Optimization” has been implemented which automatically combines the available PTP data, nowcasting products and observations at all required locations. A frequent update of this optimization process every 30 minutes ensures that the OOG is based on the latest available model, nowcasting, and observational information. The resulting so-called “Objectively Optimized Guidance” (OOG) passes an interactive quality control step to produce a “Man Modified output” (MMO).
