ProbSevere - VLab Form

Youngling Posts: 559 Join Date: 11/21/11 Recent Posts

VLab Forum Members,

The May VLab Forum will occur on the 17th at 2 PM (Eastern Time) and feature a presentation by Michael Pavolonis titled "ProbSevere - A new Tool for NWS Severe Weather Warning Operations." For more information on the talk, please see the details provided below. We hope you can attend.

If you want to participate in the forum remotely, please register for the webinar. Alternately, you can join us in SSMC-2, Room 10246.

Talk Abstract:

The need for science based computer algorithms has never been greater, as data volumes and information content are increasing significantly. To help address “big data” challenges in severe weather warning operations, NOAA/NESDIS, in collaboration with the University of Wisconsin, have developed the ProbSevere model. ProbSevere utilizes geostationary satellite, Multi-Radar/Multi-Sensor (MRMS) products, lightning, and Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) data to determine the probability that a developing thunderstorm will produce severe weather up to 90 minutes in the future. ProbSevere has been successfully demonstrated in the Hazardous Weather Testbed and, experimentally, in WFO operations. NWS meteorologists have indicated that ProbSevere effectively complements existing operational procedures while helping to improve the efficiency of severe weather warning operations. In this presentation, a brief overview of ProbSevere will be given along with an update on the effort to transition ProbSevere to NWS operations. In addition, recent research to improve ProbSevere, including the determination of hazard specific severe weather probabilities (wind, hail, and tornado), will be summarized.

Talk Focus and R2O State:

  • Talk describes capabilities/functionality useful in NWS weather forecast office operations
  • Research Transition (laboratory work with clear R2O potential)

VLab Forum Attendees,

We will have a VLab Forum today (May 17th) at 2 PM Eastern Time in that is entitled "ProbSevere - A new Tool for NWS Severe Weather Warning Operations". This talk will focus a collaboration between NESDIS and CIMSS to harness "big data" to improve NWS severe weather warning operations. To learn more about ProbSever, please join us in SSMC-2 Room 10246  or sign up for the webinar (LINK CORRECTED).

You can find the agenda for the forum at the following link:

If you have any questions about the agenda or the logistics for this month's VLab Forum, please don't hesitate to contact me.

For those unfamiliar with GoToMeeting "Raise Hand" and "Question" functionality, we have a short tutorial at the following URL:
