Corona weather clouds1/2/2024 The angular diameter of a corona depends on the sizes of the water droplets involved smaller droplets produce larger coronae. The aureole is often (especially in case of the Moon) the only visible part of the corona and has the appearance of a bluish-white disk which fades to reddish-brown towards the edge. In its full form, a corona consists of several concentric, pastel-colored rings around the celestial object and a central bright area called aureole. The plan is to repeat such workshops every six months, and the next one is scheduled for November 2020.In meteorology, a corona (plural coronae) is an optical phenomenon produced by the diffraction of sunlight or moonlight (or, occasionally, bright starlight or planetlight) by individual small water droplets and sometimes tiny ice crystals of a cloud or on a foggy glass surface. More information about the meeting, including presentations and records of the Q&A session, can be found on the meeting web page. These, and some more direct questions on documentation, showed that the joint Service Desk space and documentation for the European Weather Cloud needs to be advertised more widely. Some questions enquired about how to get access to and host services on the system. Comments from participants showed that there is interest in harmonising access between EUMETSAT and ECMWF. This is unsurprising since fast and localised access to large datasets is the main advantage of the European Weather Cloud. A group of questions concerned data access. These questions were addressed by technical staff attending the session at the time. on technical solutions for container orchestrations. These questions covered areas from the basic setup to more advanced topics, e.g. Most of the 46 questions and comments received in the Q&A session were related to technical aspects. The European Weather Cloud workshop took place online due to COVID-19 restrictions. Thanks also to the sli.do Q&A system used in parallel, over 46 user questions on usage of the cloud could be collected and answered. The feedback from the audience was very positive and gave very valuable input for upcoming developments on the cloud. The third session allowed participants to ask questions and to discuss feedback from the use cases.They included the support given to Croatia after the recent earthquake both on the EUMETSAT and ECMWF side, the hosting of the Dutch national meteorological service’s Climate Explorer and the development of a Jupyter-based platform to enable machine learning research in cooperation with the University of Oxford. The second session presented five use cases on the cloud.They also showed how users can access the system. In the first session, the two user support teams involved at EUMETSAT and ECMWF gave an overview of the capabilities of the current system.The workshop was split in three sessions: The workshop attracted much interest in our Member States with over 200 registrations and over 185 participants online at peak times. During the pilot phase of the European Weather Cloud, use cases are an important way for us to work with Member States to develop the future cloud service. A joint EUMETSAT-ECMWF workshop on use cases for the European Weather Cloud was held on.
