1. Deep convection 2 Wilfried Jacobs DWD Meteorological Training and Conference Centre

2. Purpose To enable you to interpretate small and meso scale structures in radar images  identification of relevant structures  corresponding conceptual model  ( related weather)

3. Pre-requesites Pre-reading of material in relation to "Deep convection Part 2".

4. Content 1.Quiz based upon self study 2.Detailed investigations of radar images –(mainly super cells in relation to conceptual models and "weather") Intensities Doppler 3.Quiz (time depending) 4.Questions & answers

5. 1. Quiz (self study)
