Projects of PANDOWAE

In PANDOWAE, seven individual projects are funded by the DFG. Additionally, there are contributions from associated projects.

P1 (ET): The impact of extratropical transition on downstream predictability

P2 (MED): The dynamics and predictability of Mediterranean cyclones leading to high impact weather

P3 (DIAC): Role of diabatic processes in the dynamics and predictability of extra-tropical cyclones

P4 (SESUWAT): Sensitivity of severe weather over Europe to upstream wave trains and related processes

P5 (VARNAER): Variability and extremes of poleward breaking Rossby waves over the North Atlantic-European region

P6 (ADENS): Large-scale and local control of severe weather: towards adaptive ensemble forecasting

P7 (ADOBS): Adaptive observing strategies for active airborne remote sensing instruments

Associated Projects:

• P8  Predictability and Dynamics of tropopause Rossby-waves and high-impact weather
  
• P9  Upper-level extratropical disturbances over the low-latitude North Atlantic: Generation mechanisms and predictability
• P10 Improved Initialization for Precipitation Forecasts: Analysis of the ETReC missions during COPS 2007
