“…Since 2012, ESSL has also organized the annual ESSL Testbed, which was inspired by the Spring Experiment of the NOAA Hazardous Weather Testbed (e.g., Kain et al 2003Kain et al , 2006Kain et al , 2010Clark et al 2012;Karstens et al 2015; http://hwt.nssl.noaa.gov/spring_experiment/).

The European Severe Storms Laboratory (ESSL) was founded in 2006 to advance the science and forecasting of severe convective storms in Europe. ESSL was a grassroots effort of individual scientists from various European countries. The purpose of this article is to describe the 10-yr history of ESSL and present a sampling of its successful activities. Specifically, ESSL developed and manages the only multinational database of severe weather reports in Europe: the European Severe Weather Database (ESWD). Despite efforts to eliminate biases, the ESWD still suffers from spatial inhomogeneities in data collection, which motivates ESSL’s research into modeling climatologies by combining ESWD data with reanalysis data. ESSL also established its ESSL Testbed to evaluate developmental forecast products and to provide training to forecasters. The testbed is organized in close collaboration with several of Europe’s national weather services. In addition, ESSL serves a central role among the European scientific and forecast communities for convective storms, specifically through its training activities and the series of European Conferences on Severe Storms. Finally, ESSL conducts wind and tornado damage assessments, highlighted by its recent survey of a violent tornado in northern Italy.

“…MODE has been used successfully to detect biases in short-term weather forecasts (e.g., Davis et al 2006Davis et al , 2009Clark et al 2012;Mittermaier and Bullock 2013). It was reported that coarse-resolution forecast models produce too many large rain areas and underestimate rainfall intensities (e.g., Davis et al 2006;Wernli et al 2008).…”

“…At the Met Office, for example, a convective-scale model has been run routinely since 2009 and a test system for ensembles at this scale is currently being built with the intention of trialling it during the spring of 2012. In the USA the Spring Forecasting Experiments have been running convective-scale models for a number years and more recently a convective-scale ensemble (Clark et al, 2011b).…”
