Abstract:
Predicting high impact weather events (HIWE) is still one of the main challenges of the 21st century, with significant socio-economic implications. The EU funded DRIHM (Distributed Research Infrastructure for Hydro-Meteorology) and DRIHM2US (Distributed Research Infrastructure for Hydro-Meteorology to US) projects developed a prototype e-Science environment to facilitate this collaboration and to provide advanced end-to-end HMR services (models, datasets and post-processing tools). The DRIHM(2US) services will be presented and demonstrated for the Genoa 2014 flash-flood event.

Parodi is an expert in atmospheric modelling and statistical analysis of extreme events, in the development of simplified models of dry and moist convection and the study of the main sources of uncertainty in the high resolution numerical modelling of deep moist convective processes (COSMO-MODEL and WRF-ARW model).
