Moreover, assessing the spatial and temporal evolution of the mesoscale convective environment can help the forecaster better anticipate the range of possible storm types, interactions, and evolutions. Specific Job Task Skills and Knowledge 1. Apply conceptual models of cloud microphysics, convective mesoscale processes, and storm life cycles, for the purpose of identifying convective storm types and associated hazardous weather threats in the 0-6 hr. time frame. Using the GOES Sounder, Minicases . Squall Lines and Echoes .
Module shows conceptual models and controlling physical forces of convective systems.
A Case Study Exercise . This session is a 3-hour teletraining offering where participating offices get to use observed and model data to anticipate convective storm type and evolution for a couple of scenarios. Anticipating Convection in the Desert Southwest . This is an audiographics session using two severe weather events in the southwestern United States. This is an interactive teletraining session in which participants engage in a series of exercises to forecast MCS movement and propagation.
