Impact of improved initialization of mesoscale features on convective system rainfall in 10-km Eta simulations
A 10-km version of the NCEP Eta Model has been run over a roughly 1000 km x 1000 km domain centered over the upper Midwest for 20 cases where heavy warm season rainfall occurred from mesoscale convective systems to investigate the response of the precipitation forecasts to improvements in the depiction of mesoscale features at initialization time. Modifications to the initial conditions include...
متن کاملAnalysis of updraft velocity in mesoscale convective systems using satellite and WRF model simulations
Updraft vertical velocity is an important dynamical quantity which is strongly related to storm intensity and heavy precipitation. It can be calculated by direct observations, NWP model, and geostationary satellites which can provide the possibility of measuring this quantity with high temporal resolution. This research analyzed updraft velocity based on six derived parameters from INSAT3-D and...
متن کاملNon-robustness of convective organization in idealized mesoscale model simulations
In a prior study, Su, Bretherton, and Chen used the Penn State/National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model (MM5) to study the organization of deep convection in a nonrotating atmosphere over a horizontally uniform tropical ocean, with periodic boundary conditions and an imposed mean lifting. They found that convection could “self-aggregate” from small-scale initial noise into a lar...
متن کاملMesoscale Atmosphere Model Implementation into Mars Science Laboratory Performance Simulations
Introduction: Previous recent entries at Mars, like Pathfinder, Mars Exploration Rovers (MER) and Phoenix, were ballistic and therefore had smaller downrange distances between entry and touchdown compared to the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) guided entry. See Figure 1. Consequently “handcrafted” vertical profiles of the atmosphere at the landing site, tailored for the expected conditions on the...
متن کاملEvaluating a lightning parameterization based on cloud-top height for mesoscale numerical model simulations
The Price and Rind lightning parameterization based on cloud-top height is a commonly used method for predicting flash rate in global chemistry models. As mesoscale simulations begin to implement flash rate predictions at resolutions that partially resolve convection, it is necessary to validate and understand the behavior of this method within such a regime. In this study, we tested the flash ...
