Abstract:
Zur Info: Die ECSS (European Conference on Severe Storms) ist eine alle zwei Jahre stattfindende Veranstaltung des ESSL (Eoropean Severe Storms Laboratory), bei der sich Meteorologen aus Europa und weiteren Kontinenten bei Vorträgen, Postersessions und im Rahmenprogramm austauschen können.Perceptions of the severe convective storm threat and the capacity to deal with that threat are strongly influenced by the social setting in which the storms occur. The social context for severe convection in Europe is distinctly different from that in the United States of America (USA), so a comparison between the two reveals certain factors that govern the responses to severe convective storm events. Although perceptions of the threat are different in Europe than in the USA, the objective hazards are more similar than they are widely understood to be. The development of infrastructure for dealing with the hazards necessarily depends on changing the existing perceptions and breaking down certain barriers to the creation of appropriate infrastructure.
