The radar image of the future - radar MOS

		Short descritpion Meteo Service did successful research with integrating full area remote sensing data in our MOS systems. A joined project on this topic was started in 2002 together with the German Weather Service, and in 2004 we finally installed a MOS system for predicting the radar image at the German Weather Service, which is in operational service up to today.

Example of a forecast set of DWD radar MOS of May 19th of 2003

Left figure: radar forecast of radar MOS run at 14 UTC valid at 15 UTC. Predictand "ReflX", highest reflectivity within an area of 27 to 27 km and within 15 minutes. Right figure: radar komposit image of DWD radar network, 15 UTC.

Left figure: radar forecast of radar MOS run at 14 UTC valid at 15 UTC. Predictand "P(Refl>35)", probability of highest reflectivity within an area of 27 to 27 km and within 15 minutes. Right figure: radar komposit image of DWD radar network, 15 UTC.

Left figure: animated forecast sets for highest reflectivity (ReflX). Right figure: animation of probability of reflectivity greater 35 dBZ.
