Content
              In 2008 the Slovakian Meteorological Institute (SHMU) has successfully implemented GII in their forecasting room. The difference being that the ALADIN model is used which provides a higher resolution being helpful to the forecasters. Jan Kanak will present this concept and show some examples.
This talk will be followed by Teodoro La Rocca from Italy on the use of air masses classification in the identification of synoptic conditions favourable to the development of convective phenomena.
