Ivan Smiljanić (EUMETSAT) - Storms and storm monitoring over the tropics (vs mid-latitudes)
Competency Framework
WMO Satellite Skills
Application
Description
Ivan Smiljanić discusses the differences between tropical and midlatitude storms using various satellite products.
Content
Deep moist convection exhibits distinct characteristics across the tropics and mid-latitudes, reflecting differences in thermodynamic environments, vertical wind shear, and the mechanisms governing storm organisation. This talk compares the genesis, organisation, and dynamics of tropical and mid-latitude convective storms and discusses how these differences influence their monitoring and observation from space-based platforms.
