| Zusammenfassung |
| This paper presents RISKMED, a project targeted to create an Early Warning
System (EWS) in case of severe or extreme weather events in the central and
eastern Mediterranean and specifically in southern Italy, northwestern
Greece, Malta and Cyprus. As severe or extreme weather events are considered,
cases when the values of some meteorological parameters (temperature, wind,
precipitation) exceed certain thresholds, and/or a severe weather phenomenon
(thunderstorm, snowfall) occurs. For an accurate weather forecast, selected
meteorological models have been operated daily, based on a nesting strategy
using two or three domains, providing detailed forecasts over the above
mentioned areas. The forecast results are further exploited for the
evaluation and prediction of human discomfort and fire weather indices.
Finally, sea wave models have also been operating daily over the central and
eastern Mediterranean Sea. In case a severe or extreme weather event is
forecasted within the next 48 or 72 h for selected target areas (sub-regions
defined by their morphological and population characteristics), the local
authorities and the public are informed via a user-friendly graphic system,
the so-called RISK MAP. On the web page of the Project
( http://www.riskmed.net ), additional information is provided about the
real-time values of some meteorological parameters, the latest satellite
picture and the time and space distribution of lightning during the last
24 h. The RISKMED project was financed by the EU and th Ministries of
National Economy of Greece, Italy, Malta and Cyprus, in the frame of
INTERREG IIIB/ARCHIMED programme. |
