IA 5.5. Testing of vertical atmospheric structure models based on satellite constellation in EWE

OVERVIEW

Status

60%

What kind of result is this?	New method
What’s the area addressed?	Advanced Technology Solutions Emergency management
What’s the covered phase?	Prevention & Preparedness, Detection & Response, Surveillance/Monitoring/Early warning
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
