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.

SIGMET AVIATION WEATHER WARNINGS: SIGMET (significant meteorological phenomena) is a severe weather advisory that contains meteorological information concerning the safety of all aircraft. For airmen in the U.S., there is an additional category of SIGMET known as a convective SIGMET. These are issued for convection over the coterminous U.S. There are main types of internationally recognized SIGMETs per ICAO:

Thunderstorm
Icing
Limited visibility
Tropical Cyclone
Turbulences
Volcanic ash
Sand storms
Dust storms
Mountain obscuration
Mountain waves
*Overshooting top: A dome-like protrusion above a thunderstorm anvil, representing a very strong updraft and hence a higher potential for severe weather with that storm. A persistent and/or large overshooting top (anvil dome) often is present on a supercell. A short-lived overshooting top, or one that forms and dissipates in cycles, may indicate the presence of a pulse storm.
