Hi forum members,
My name is Ansgar Berling and I am the second chairman of Skywarn Germany. Ever since march 13, 2004, Skywarn Germany exists.
We are a volunteer organization with storm chasers and spotters like Skywarn USA and cooperate with the German national weather service (DWD) and private weather companies (like Meteomedia, Meteos) in Germany.
We grow bigger day after day and want to inform you about the existence of Skywarn organizations in Europe. At the moment Skywarn Germany, Skywarn Austria and Skywarn Switzerland are up and running, informing the weather services, the public and the media about occurrences of severe weather. If possible we do this in (near) real time so damage and personal loss might be avoided.
As we see a future for a European wide Skywarn network we secured the domain skywarn.eu (we have to fill it though) and we welcome you to discuss Skywarn in Europe in our English forum under
http://www.skywarn.de/forum/viewforum.php?f=14 .
We encourage you to start thinking about setting up a Skywarn organization in your country. Exchanging information among us can be a good first step. We will of course share our information (technical and non technical) with you.
I hope to see you soon in our forum!
Regards,
Ansgar Berling
Skywarn Germany, Skywarn Europe
