Datameteo was at the
Meteorological Technology World Expo 2014 in Bruxelles on
October 2014 21th.
In this innovative and competitive contest
Datameteo at 1500 CEST weather has presented a conference into the
break out session area titled:
"
A new composite hail forecast index: The Italian weather scenario"
In the latest years climate change has created serious difficulties who must make choices in the medium to long term. After a long testing work we have created a
scalable hail storm index (
Hail, composite index+Significant hail parameter) in house developed with the integration of various multiphysical parameterization and model schemes. A complete
index validation forecast vs observation on the italian area has been made in order to better understand the hail season trend and improve the
nowcasting and
short term forecast accuracy.

At this stage i would like to thank to Ms Simona Busacca that in her final thesis for the Master in Climate Change at the University of Exeter has applied an innovative analysis approach comparing the hail index forecast vs observations for the past season 2013.
Some Datameteo conference images
A new exciting frontier to explore will be the full interaction of the weather hail index forecast model platform with the nowcasting or short term sources like radar and
lightning devices to improve the model skill on the
very short term period
Model data ouput can be delivered in various format and are quality checked and manually trimmed by our meteorologist staff.
-GRIB, NetCDF easy to be integrated in third part weather model chains or platforms
-CSV, API JSON /XML images the most diffused and easy to use informatic protocol with ready to use data
