Vorticity Budget over Mountains, Diagnosed from Hirlam Analyses and Forecasts

چکیده
The analysis of vorticity equation offers a possibility for validation and diagnostics of a NWP model. The source terms of the equation are related to the resolved and subgrid-scale torque due to the orography and surface properties. The terms resolved by the model can be estimated from three-dimensional numerical analyses and forecasts. In the vertically integrated equation, these terms sum up to give an estimate of required torque due to the subgrid-scale surface stress, which can be compared by the corresponding value given by the physical parametrizations of the model. Diagnosis of the complicated terms of the equation requires special attention to the discretization and numerical approximations. In this study, the vorticity method is applied to the diagnosis of High Resolution Limited Area Model (HIRLAM).

A case study carried out with two different NWP systems
A model intercomparison between two atmospheric models, the non–hydrostatic Lokal Modell (LM) and the hydrostatic HIgh Resolution Limited Area Model (HIRLAM) is carried out for a one-week period, including a case of cyclogeneis leading to heavy precipitation over Northern Italy. The two models, very different in terms of data-assimilation and numerics, provide different results in terms of fore...
متن کاملNumerical weather prediction and HIRLAM project
National meteorological services are required to provide short and medium range weather forecasts, warnings and alerts for their territory. Modern-day weather forecasting is highly relying on numerical weather prediction (NWP). The medium range forecasts are produced with global models using the whole of Earth as a domain having a horizontal resolution of about 20-40 km. For short range applica...

متن کاملHigh-resolution weather and air quality forecasts for Zeeland, the Netherlands
ARGOSS provides daily high-resolution weather and air quality forecasts for the province of Zeeland, the Netherlands. Zeeland covers an area of approximately 50x50 km with several water bodies, bordering the North Sea. To properly represent the land-water boundaries and to simulate the associated weather effects, a spatial resolution of 1 km is required. The abstract presents the operational AR...
