Testing of waterspout forcasting indices over the Adriatic Sea using Aladin model

Waterspouts are severe mesoscale phenomena that can cause great damage to lives and property, especially if they enter mainland. Many waterspout events have been recorded in Croatia over the past several years, especially during the summer months. This motivated us to test and develop some forecasting tools that will help forecast waterspout events. Two forecasting indices are most often cited in the literature: the Szilagyi Waterspout Index (SWI) and KHS – Index to calculate risk of (water)spout development.
