Sažetak
Storms with overshooting tops often produce severe weather conditions such as heavy rainfall, strong winds, hail, lightning and tornadoes. According to some investigations the relationship between the overshooting tops and severe weather over Europe is rather strong, especially for large hail and severe wind. Overshooting cloud tops can be detected from the satellite, using brightness temperature differences between the water vapour (6.2 μm), ozone (9.7 μm) or carbon-dioxide (13.4 μm) and the infrared (10.8 μm) channel. The aim of this investigation is to establish the relationship between the occurrence of the overshooting tops and the onset of severe weather phenomena over the Central Europe. Locations and times of appearance of the overshooting tops, derived from the Meteosat 9 data, are compared with the occurrence of strong wind and wind gusts, temperature and humidity change and precipitation, measured by the automatic stations.
