Questions
- NWP model forecasts precipitation along the Mediterreanean, "sticking" to the coast (look at NE Spain in HiRes NWP Forecasted Precipitation Loop). Surveillance of where a potential storm is going to be trigerred is mandatory. Which NWC SAF product or observation instrument will be able to discern where the storm is triggered?
