Analysis 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 کاملSensitivity study of cloud-resolving convective simulations with WRF using the PLIN and WSM6 microphysical parameterizations
At NCAR, real time forecasting experiments with a 4-km grid mesh over the central US employed the WRF-Single-Moment 6class (WSM6) Microphysics scheme that replaced the Purdue Lin (PLIN) scheme in early 2005. Both schemes have the same number of prognostic water substance including graupel. Although some preliminary reports identified the overall superiority of the WSM6 to the PLIN scheme in res...
متن کاملPrediction of Convective Morphology in Near-Cloud-Permitting WRF Model Simulations
The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model’s ability to forecast convective morphological evolution is examined for 37 convective systems. The simulations used Thompson microphysics with 3-km horizontal grid spacing. Ten convective mode classifications were used. An objective score was developed to determine the accuracy of the simulated morphologies considering a normalized duration of e...
متن کاملObserved Large-Scale Structures and Diabatic Heating and Drying Profiles during TWP-ICE
This study documents the characteristics of the large-scale structures and diabatic heating and drying profiles observed during the Tropical Warm Pool–International Cloud Experiment (TWP-ICE), which was conducted in January–February 2006 in Darwin during the northern Australian monsoon season. The examined profiles exhibit significant variations between four distinct synoptic regimes that were ...
متن کاملP74 Prediction of Convective Morphology in Near-cloud Permitting WRF Model Simulations
Convection-permitting horizontal grid spacings are being used increasingly often for operational forecasting. These simulations often depict convective structures similar to those that have been observed in radar data (e.g., Kain et al. 2008). However, although some studies have suggested that there is value in how these runs depict convective modes (Weisman 2008), others have identified proble...
