IA 5.5. Testing of vertical atmospheric structure models based on satellite constellation in EWE
OVERVIEW
What kind of result is this? | New method | |
What’s the area addressed? | Advanced Technology Solutions | |
What’s the covered phase? | Prevention & Preparedness, Detection & Response, | |
What’s the addressed challenge? | Monitoring and forecasting of Extreme Wildfire Events (EWE) through the analysis of vertical atmospheric profiles | |
What value is proposed? | Detailed and frequent (every 6 h) satellite-based global analysis of upper air weather at different pressure levels are provided whenever an EWE or large fire occurs in Europe, including the vertical atmosphere profile (with Temperature, Humidity, Geopotential Height, Vertical Velocity, Absolute Vorticity, Horizontal winds), to anticipate changes and dynamics that may lead to the growth and fall of PyroCb and also to provide highly detailed weather forecasting across their operational regions. All this data will be incorporated into the integrative umbrella system to estimate the EWE behaviour and risk. | |
Who can use it? | Researchers | |
What type of tool is it? | Model | |
How does it look like? | Integrated software | |
This tool is… | ⊠ a new tool | ☐ an improved tool |
What are the vision & mission statement? | A better understanding of how EWEs and PyroCb in particular, are affected by the atmospheric vertical structure | |
When will it be complete? | End of 2024 | |
Documentation | TBA | |
This IA is implemented in the Living Lab(s)… | All the Living Labs |
