European Conference on Severe Storms: Congreso Europeo sobre Tormentas Severas

Desde el día 9 hasta el 12 se celebró el Congreso en sí mismo; una “maratón”, o cursillo acelerado de Meteorología Severa, con la intervención de numerosos profesionales de la Meteorología (algunos de enorme prestigio como ya hemos dicho anteriormente) procedentes de diversos países de Europa y del resto del planeta.

La Organización dispuso dos autobuses para recoger a los ponentes desde los hoteles donde se alojaron (Parador de San Marcos y el Hotel Tryp), que se convirtieron en el punto de encuentro para salir hacia la Universidad para todos los demás.

Únicamente se hicieron dos descansos diarios o coffe-breaks, además de las comidas con horario británico (casi siempre alrededor de las 12:30 del mediodía) hasta el viernes 12, que fue cuando se procedió a la clausura del Congreso, al mediodía.

Las presentaciones o ponencias fueron orales y también a través de posters (foto 20) que se presentaron en una zona de la Universidad habilitada para tal fin, zona donde también se realizaron los coffe-breaks para poder disfrutar de dichos posters así como consultar dudas o charlar sobre ellos con sus respectivos autores.

Los alumnos de la Universidad nos miraban como preguntándose quiénes éramos y no eran pocos los que expresaban su disgusto al comprobar que los posters estaban exclusivamente escritos en inglés.

La Universidad también puso a disposición de los participantes y asistentes sus salas de ordenadores con conexión a Internet y no fueron pocos los que hicieron uso de este servicio, algunos de los cuales para comprobar salidas de modelos numéricos, imágenes satelitales (qué familiar os resultará todo esto), otros para comprobar y echar un vistazo a las interesantes direcciones que se estaban dando en las ponencias.

Al término de la jornada del miércoles día 10 todos los participantes nos hicimos una divertida foto de grupo de la que se hizo entrega al comienzo de la última jornada.

La tarde del jueves 11 se pudo disfrutar de una visita guiada a la Catedral y, posteriormente, a la exposición “La Meteorología a través del tiempo” del Instituto Nacional de Meteorología (INM) en la que participantes del Congreso y todo aquél que lo deseara pudo observar desde los más antiguos instrumentos de medición hasta los más modernos, pasando por antiguos registros y diarios Meteorológicos con interesantes datos de olas de frío históricas, etc. Y, para finalizar un día maratoniano, todos los participantes fuimos invitados a una cena en honor a Jean Dessens en el Parador San Marcos; todo un lujo.

La última jornada solamente duró hasta el mediodía, momento en el cual el presidente del Congreso, el profesor José Luis Sánchez pronunció el discurso de cierre. Seguidamente se anunció el siguiente Congreso, el ECSS 2007, que se celebrará en Trieste (Italia) y en la que esperamos volver a estar, pero ya no solamente como aficionados, sino como ponentes y, quién sabe si ya como verdaderos profesionales de la Meteorología. ¡Que así sea!.

Por supuesto, inmerso en las sesiones intensivas del congreso, un breve tiempo para comer, como ya se ha indicado al principio, dentro de las instalaciones de la Universidad de León. Aquí aparecemos juntos y expectantes los que suscribimos este artículo.

En otro sentido el entorno de campos y eriales que ampliamente abrazan la ubicación de la universidad, despuntaba detalles singulares también desde el punto de vista naturalístico y faunístico, como la presencia de varios ejemplares de una especie de córvido, la graja (Corvus frugilegus), que en el conjunto de la Península Ibérica es mas bien rara, teniendo su mayoría poblacional en Castilla y León.

Una mirada antes de partir definitivamente de tierras leonesas el día 12, se fija en las montañas nevadas de la Cordillera Cantábrica, afectadas por una advección fría del norte a mediados de la semana, como ya se había mencionado, que las cubrió del precioso manto blanco.
