The Operational Program on the Exchange of Weather Radar Information (OPERA) has co-ordinated radar co-operation among national weather services in Europe for more than 20 years. It introduced its own, manufacturer-independent data model, runs own center, and produces Pan-European composites. applications using this vary from assimilation to flood warnings monitoring animal migration. used several approaches provide a homogeneous combination disparate raw indicate reliability products. In...
In radar meteorology, greater interest is dedicated to weather radars and precipitation analyses. However, cloud provide us with detailed information on particles from which the consists of. Motivated by research particles, a vertical Ka-band (35 GHz) was installed at Milešovka observatory in Central Europe operationally measuring since June 2018. This study presents algorithms that we use retrieve air velocity (Vair) hydrometeors. The algorithm calculating Vair based small-particle tracers,...
Abstract. Flash flood induced by severe convection is the hydrometeorological phenomenon that very difficult to forecast. However, implementation of radar measurements, especially radar-based Quantitative Precipitation Estimate (QPE) and/or quantitative Nowcast (QPN) can improve this situation. If able capture development and produce reasonably accurate QPE in short time intervals (e.g. 10 min), then it be used also with hydrological model. A model named Hydrog was for investigation...
In the past few years, demands on flash flood forecasting have grown. The Flash Flood Indicator (FFI) is a system used at Czech Hydrometeorological Institute for evaluation of risk possible occurrence floods over whole Republic. FFI calculation based current soil saturation, physical-geographical characteristics every considered area, and radar-based quantitative precipitation estimates (QPEs) forecasts (QPFs). For higher reliability assessment, calculations QPEs QPFs are crucial,...
The Czech weather radar network (CZRAD) is operated by the Hydrometeorological Institute (national service of Republic). CZRAD data are used for severe and precipitation monitoring national civil military services, operational hydrology, air traffic control many other users including general public. Several damaging floods, which hit Republic in last decade, emphasized importance hydrological applications accelerated research development field rainfall estimating nowcasting. methods...

Radar measurements are one of the key data sources for detection and nowcasting convective storms accompanying severe phenomena. algorithm estimating probability hail occurrence was first implemented in Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (CHMI) 2004. Development new radar products their visualization has taken place CHMI recent years. This article describes evaluation which, combined with temperature sounding measurements, determine provide estimates maximum size. These operationally...
Nigh-time observations of red sprites phenomena over thunderstorm seasons 2011-2013 from Gliwice (52.116°N, 21.238°E) resulted in 45 events observed above convective storm system the Czech Republic, Germany, and south-western Poland.This paper gives details along with correlation optical data cloud-to-ground in-cloud lightning recorded by CELDN detection system.We also analyse time sequence locations parent dancing produced at various stages thundercloud development sprite production using...
