ECSS2025 – 12th European Conference on Severe Storms
The ECSS2025 will take place 17 – 21 November 2025 in Utrecht in the Netherlands.
Early conference registration for the ECSS2025 has already opened, the abstract submission will open on 15 January 2025.
The scope of the conference covers all aspects of severe convective storms. Researchers, operational forecasters, and risk and emergency managers are invited to submit contributions. In light of the global relevance of the conference themes, participants from all over the world are encouraged to attend.
In the focus this time will be satellite studies based on the new MTG instruments.
These are the conference topics (and tentative session titles):
- Convective storm and tornado dynamics
- Satellite imager studies of convective storms and their environment
- Satellite sounder studies relevant to the formation of convective storms
- Storm electrification, lightning, microphysics, and space-based lightning observations
- Radar and non-satellite remote sensing studies of storms
- Hail studies
- Floods, flash floods, and convective storms within extratropical, tropical and hybrid cyclones
- Nowcasting and forecasting of severe weather and forecaster training
- Numerical modelling, convection-allowing models, data assimilation, and machine learning
- Impact of storms on society, impact mitigation, and early warning systems
- Storm climatologies, risk assessments, and climate change
- Collection of storm data, historical events, and damage assessments
Remote participation or live streams are not foreseen for this edition as the interest in such offers, while costly, was very limited last time. Very likely low-quality recordings on a best-effort basis will be published some time after the conference.
