  1. Adoption of CAP in MeteoAlarmAlerts from Europe’s National Weather ServicesAlexander Beck, Michael StaudingerCAP Implementation Workshop, Geneva, 6 April 2011

  2. Contents • Introduction to • Recent activities • CAP implementation: Status & plans • Summary

  3. What is MeteoAlarm? Request of EUMETNET to the EMMA MeteoAlarm Group: Provide pan - European alert information on an Online Internet platform for a variety of weather parameters, understandable by all actors from the private and public sector – harmonized as far as possible Sources of the information: The National Meteorological and Hydrological Services Who are the users? Locals and European professionals and travellers, in need of understandable (=homogenous) information across Europe

  6. 3rd levelinformation

  7. Response to MeteoAlarm • 4 – level colour code seen as understandable „language“ • Links to MeteoAlarm from more than 1000 websites • 2 Bio hits since start • High acceptance with public institutions

  8. METEOALARM warning schedule – Redagno matrixRedagno 2006

  9. Meteorology and damage concepts (Civil Protection) tuned

  10. Meteorology and damage concepts (Civil Protection) untuned e.g. Heat wave in Greenland Wind warnings on mountains Forest fire in Sahara . . . . . .

  11. Meteorology and damage concepts (Civil Protection) untuned e.g. Heat wave in Greenland Wind warnings on mountains Forest fire in Sahara . . . . . . e.g. Flood without rain Multiple parameter situation Missing area / intensity relation . . . . . .

  12. Examples for Meteorological Threshold concepts • Changing • with: • time of the year, • area climatology, • vulnerability

  13. Recent and ongoing activities: additional parameters • Coastal warnings (possible features) • Wind, thunderstorms, visibility, icing, storm surge, water level • Flood warnings Rain and/or floods Flood warning Carinthia: local flooding possible

  14. Activities for the coming year Coastal area warnings Possible warned features: Wind Thunderstorms Visibility Icing storm surge water level

  15. Recent and ongoing activities • 5-day warnings for closed user-group (password protected) • Using the same color scheme as 36h forecasts • Defining a scheme of probabilities for alerts

  16. 5-day warnings (restricted access)

  17. 5-day forecast: EPS + impacts expressed in probabilities e.g. rain forecasts Mon Tue Wed Thurs Fri

  18. and warning levels for a time range of >36h to day 5

  19. CAP in MeteoAlarm (restricted access to CAP messages on www.meteoalarm.eu)

  20. CAP messages available (internal pages) CAP message feed

  21. Recent example from meteoalarm.eu <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> - <alert xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:emergency:cap:1.1" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://niem.gov/niem/external/cap/1.1/cap.xsd http://niem.gov/niem/external/cap/1.1/cap.xsd"> <identifier>2.49.0.0.40.0_2011-04-01T08:10:32+02:00</identifier> <sender>2.49.0.0.40.0</sender> <sent>2011-04-01T08:10:32+02:00</sent> <status>Actual</status> <msgType>Alert</msgType> <source>Meteoalarm.eu</source> <scope>Public</scope> - <info> <language>de-AT</language> <category>Met</category> <event>Wind</event> <responseType>None</responseType> <urgency>Immediate</urgency> <severity>Moderate</severity> <certainty>Likely</certainty> - <eventCode> <valueName>awt</valueName> <value>1</value> </eventCode> - <eventCode> <valueName>level</valueName> <value>2</value> </eventCode> <onset>2011-04-01T06:00:00+02:00</onset> <expires>2011-04-01T13:00:00+02:00</expires> <senderName>Germany, Deutscher Wetterdienst</senderName> <headline>meteoalarm warning for avalanches</headline> <description>Erneute Verlängerung: In Lagen oberhalb 1000 m treten weiterhin Sturmböen von 65 bis 85 km/h (18 bis 24 m/s, 34 bis 47 Knoten, Stärke 8 bis 9 Beaufort) aus Südwest auf.</description> <web>http://meteoalarm.eu/index2.php?country=DE</web> </info> Main issues: identifier sender source (minor) technical issues: - language - headline

  22. CAP in MeteoAlarm: Identifier Similar to Deutscher Wetterdienst DWD-CAP Example <identifier> 2.49.0.1.276.DE_DWD_OMEDES.2011-03-30T14:34:04+02:00.1234 </identifier> 2.49.0.1.276 -> alerting message from Germany (country code 276) DE_DWD_OMDES -> office code including ISO alpha-2 code 2011-03-30T14:34:04+02:00 -> date/time in UTC incl tz 1234 -> sequence number

  23. CAP in MeteoAlarm: Sender and source <sender>CAP@DWD.DE</sender> -> Use email-address as sender, extracted from incoming messages <source>Meteoalarm.eu</source> -> (proposal) use meteoalarm.eu as <source> for CAP message in common MeteoAlarm-CAP-Format

  24. Summary • Response to MeteoAlarm extremely positive and encouraging • Community is growing • Additional warning parameters • CAP in MeteoAlarm • Technical implementation ongoing and almost completed • CAP messages available on internal webpage for selected countries • Technical issues -> Guido Schratzer is in the audience 
