Institut für Physik der Atmosphäre 2Martin Hagen, 7th COPS-Workshop, Oct. 2008 Working Group Precipitation Processes and Life Cycle Participants Joël van Baelen, Martin Hagen, Holger Mahlke, Thorsten Reinhardt, Evelyne Richard, Stefan Schneider, Hans Volkert MSG + EU-radar images surface stations network, precipitation network quality control favorite IOPs overview paper

3. Institut für Physik der Atmosphäre 3Martin Hagen, 7th COPS-Workshop, Oct. 2008 MSG + EU radar images Hans + Martin will define the area for a MSG and EU-radar image catalogue. IOPs (other days ?) Martin has to verify with DWD whether EU-radar image can be made available for the COPS community. Combination with product from Fumiko Aoshima ?

4. Institut für Physik der Atmosphäre 4Martin Hagen, 7th COPS-Workshop, Oct. 2008 Surface stations and precipitation network What data are available ? see presentation by Theresa Gorgas Additional measurements during COPS Other local services ? DWD Meteomedia MeteoFrance COPS

5. Institut für Physik der Atmosphäre 5Martin Hagen, 7th COPS-Workshop, Oct. 2008 Quality control issue What kind of quality control information could be available for radars or surface stations ? Are the resources available to perform a quality control ? Non-QC data are better than no data ? If you use data and something looks not as you expect it: contact the respective PI in order to verify data quality
