Convective Storm Initiation Project (CSIP): UK Met Office Near-Real-Time (NRT) Data
Abstract
Near real time output from the Met Office's operational Unified Model (UM) supplied participants of the Convective Storm Initiation Project (CSIP) aimed to further the understanding of the mechanisms responsible for the initiation of precipitating convection in the maritime environment of southern England.
The CSIP project aimed to understand why convective clouds form and develop into precipitating clouds in a particular location. The project was centred on the 3 GHz (CAMRa) and 1275 clear-air (ACROBAT) radars at Chilbolton and used a number of the new UK Universities' Facility for Atmospheric Measurement (UFAM) mobile instruments.
