Reminder:• Nowcasting is computed out of the RWIS

data and the short-term weather forecast• Forecasting is essentially based on long-

term weather forecast. However, the module integrates also the results of the Nowcasting (if available) as an enhancement for the short term.

Case study:• Analysis of two Road Weather Segments

(RWS):– RWS « Wien-Süd », the reference RWIS is

« Inzersdorf »– RWS « Parndorf », the reference RWIS is

« Neusiedl »

Note: There is no Nowcasting function installed on the RWIS « Inzersdorf » (Wien-Süd)

Step 1: October 14, 2007, 5:00 PM:• Both Road Weather Segments show a

warning level 1 (road danger forecasted in the next 12 – 6 hours)– « Wien-Süd »: pavement temperature

temporarily below 0°C– « Parndorf »: hoarfrost

Step 2: 5:00 PM: forecasting curves for both

Road Weather Segments show the danger in a time window between 1:00 and 2:00 AM

• Remark : The curve of the « Parndorf » Road Weather Segment shows a differentslope between 5:00 and 7:00 PM:This is the influence of the Nowcasting(calculation is made for the next twohours), which enhances the weatherforecast.

Step 3: October 15, 2007, 0:00 AM • « Wien-Süd » : The level of warning has

constantly increased to reach level 4 (road danger within one hour of occurrence). It will even reach the « A » level (Alarm - danger is already existing) at 0:10 AM

• « Parndorf » : The level of the warning is still at level 2 (road danger within the next 6 - 2 hours): the nowcasting (based on RWIS measured values) keeps « pushing » the forecasted danger back.

• Step 4: Comparision with measured values from both reference RWIS-sites shows the influence of the Nowcasting in enhancing the quality of Weather Forecast.
