Urban Climate Models Under the Microscope: New Webinar on 28 April
Modelling a city's climate is harder than it looks – and this webinar shows exactly why that matters.
Modelling a city's climate is harder than it looks – and this webinar shows exactly why that matters.
Terrain is one of the quiet architects of weather. Even when the larger weather pattern is set by fronts, pressure systems and the jet stream, hills, valleys and mountain ranges can decide where clouds form, where rain falls, where wind accelerates and where cold air lingers long after sunrise.

The location marker is placed on Pļaviņas. This animation shows the precipitation radar for the selected time range, as well as a 2h forecast. Orange crosses indicate lightning. Data provided by nowcast.de (available in USA, Europe, Australia). Drizzle or light snow fall might be invisible for the radar. Precipitation intensity is colour coded, ranging from turquoise to red.

The real-time satellite image combines visible light during daytime with infrared radiation during nighttime. At night, the image is not dark as infrared radiation can detect temperature differences. Unfortunately, low clouds and fog are difficult to distinguish from ground temperatures and thus can be almost invisible during the night. Meteosat satellite images for Europe are updated in real-time every 5 minutes. GOES-16/GOES-17 (North & South America) and Himawari (Asia) images update every 10 minutes.
Precipitation is estimated from radar and satellites. Precipitation estimates from satellites are less accurate at night than during daytime.
