This week will be the last week for the testbed. A new group of participants have arrived in Wiener Neustadt and are looking forward to learning new techniques and working with new tools during this Testbed week.

On the first day, the participants listened to talks about convective storm types and ingredient based forecasting. After those talks it was time to get familiar with the testbed models and nowcast interface. The participants explored these aspects by doing a small exercise on a past situation, where numerous storms formed over parts of western- and central Europe. By analyzing these storms using nowcast and model data, participants got the opportunity to use all the tools available during the testbed, which they will be using the rest of the week to make forecasts.
