RDT
Rapid Development Thunderstorm
The RDT product (Rapid Development Thunderstorm) was developed as part of the SAF Nowcasting project and visualizes convective systems in satellite images, which are outlined with colored contours that indicate the stage of the thunderstorm cell: Yellow, red, violett and blue for Triggering, Growing, Mature and Decaying. Orange borders show a developing thunderstorm cell after triggering from split. The yellow lines mark the direction.

Note to NWCSAF GEO CRRPh:
Due to missing satellite-derived information during nighttime, the estimation efficiency may vary. However, the new algorithm minimizes the day-night difference, which is a remarkable achievement. The transition from day to night has also improved significantly and there are no longer any abrupt changes.
