Heavy precipitation is a particular challenge to forecast, given the small spatial and temporal scales on which it occurs, and the limited predictability of deep convection. The hazards associated with flash flooding are an even greater challenge, as detailed information about hydrology and antecedent conditions is also required.

This course will address the current state of knowledge about convective heavy rainfall and flash flooding, along with current research aimed at improving forecasts through increased understanding and sophisticated numerical modeling techniques.

In the morning sessions, we will cover the background material, and in the afternoon sessions there will be hands-on analysis and forecasting exercises using real-world cases. Our senior trainer Dr. Tomáš Púčik will assist the participants during these exercises.

Lecture and exercise times, including a lunch break:
Mon 10:00 – 17:00
Tue 09:00 – 17:00
Wed 09:00 – 17:00
