Nowcasting tracks of severe convective storms in West Africa from observations of land surface state

Nowcasting tracks of severe convective storms in West Africa from observations of land surface state

In tropical convective climates, where numerical weather prediction of rainfall has high uncertainty, nowcasting provides essential alerts of extreme events several hours ahead. In principle, short-term prediction of intense convective storms could benefit from knowledge of the slowly evolving land...
