Predicting Adriatic meteotsunamis using satellite-based nowcast

The analysis of the four strongest Adriatic meteotsunamis in the past 30 years pointed out that in each case a convective system was present in the area. Additionally, the propagation speed of the atmospheric disturbances seems to have been around 22 m s-1 in all discussed cases. That led to the assumption that a convective system is responsible for causing the disturbance leading to meteotsunami formation. Since the convective cells can be recognized and their movement can be followed using the nowcasting tools based on satellite data, a method for predicting the occurrence of meteotsunamis in the Adriatic is proposed.
