Forecasting Freezing Precipitation in Central Europe

Abstract

This publication is the result of a freezing precipitation workshop held 25 October 1985 at 31st Weather Squadron. Representatives from 2 WW, 7 WS, USAREUR Forecast Unit, and each of the 31 WS units in central Europe attended. The goal was to share knowledge on freezing precipitation and develop a common worksheet for all central European forecasters in 2 WW to use. The senior author (2nd Weather Wing/DNC) presented typical climatology for freezing precipitation situations and several case studies of actual occurrences. Following input from each forecaster on his/her unit's method of forecasting freezing precipitation, the group combined efforts to develop the freezing precipitation worksheet. Keywords: Atmospheric precipitation; Weather forecasting; Meteorological data.
