The Hungarian Meteorological Service (OMSZ) participates on the INCA-CE project of the European Union, which aims to develop a very short range forecast system with applications in hydrology, civil protection and road safety. In the frame of INCA, OMSZ prepared a documentary video, which shows, why are nowcasting forecasts important, how it is possible to use nowcasting methods to forecast severe weather, to protect cultural and sport events. The video introduces the cooperation between OMSZ and the Disaster Management Directorate of Somogy County and the pilot implementation of the system at Somogy County and at Balaton. Additional project activities are also discussed.
This project is implemented through the CENTRALEUROPE Programme co-financed by the ERFA.
