Sounding-Derived Parameters Associated with Convective Hazards in Europe

Abstract: Observed proximity soundings from Europe are used to highlight how well environmental parameters discriminate different kind of severe thunderstorm hazards. In addition, the skill of parameters in predicting lightning and waterspouts is also tested. The research area concentrates on central and western European countries and the years 2009–15. In total, 45 677 soundings are analyzed including 169 associated with extremely severe thunderstorms, 1754 with severe thunderstorms, 8361 with nonsevere thunderstorms, … Show more

“…This supports the notion that WS 03 is a good parameter to discriminate tornadic (EF1+) from non‐tornadic storms and also to distinguish weaker tornadoes from the rest of them, which is consistent with Taszarek et al . ().…”

“…Statistically significant differences in the mean values of parameters on severe vs. non-severe days are routinely reported, but the considerable overlap between the distributions (e.g., Craven and Brooks, 2004;Taszarek et al, 2017) can remove much practical value. This study explores the relationship between convective parameters and pulse thunderstorm environments by means of an odds ratio (OR; e.g., Fleiss et al, 2003).…”

“…5d.). Such degree of vertical wind shear is commonly associated with 25 supercells (Thompson et al 2003) and also strong tornadoes (Thompson et al 2003, Púčik et al 2015or Taszarek et al 2017. Supercells are virtually the only type of thunderstorms associated with violent, F4+, tornadoes (Smith et al 2012).…”
