Sensitivity of Dynamical Downscaling Seasonal Precipitation Forecasts to Convection and Land Surface Parameterization in a High-Resolution Regional Climate Model

Advances in Meteorology, 2019
Both convection and land surface parameterization influence seasonal precipitation forecasts. In this study, the sensitivity of dynamical downscaling seasonal precipitation forecasts to convection and land surface parameterization was investigated by ...

Modeling rainfall drop size distribution moments using an S‐band polarimetric radar in complex terrain

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Using S‐band dual‐polarization radar and disdrometers during PRECIP 2022 in Taiwan, we analyze a Mei‐Yu frontal event with widespread stratiform rain and embedded convection. Multiple disdrometers are used to create a novel drop size distribution model for S‐band radars resolving both the drizzle and precipitation modes. The model reveals both inferred

Dry intrusions and warm‐core development in Medicanes: Insights from a multi‐case analysis and the peculiar evolution of Ianos

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Mediterranean tropical‐like cyclones show a clear seasonality, with September cyclones exhibiting the deepest convection and Ianos representing the most extreme case. While one or more dry intrusions are typically detected during the cyclone life cycle, Ianos instead features two much weaker descending airflows.

ITCZ Response to Disabling Parameterized Convection in Global Fixed‐SST GFDL‐AM4 Aquaplanet Simulations at 50 and 6 km Resolutions

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems
As the community increases climate model horizontal resolutions and experiments with removing moist convective parameterizations entirely, it is imperative to understand how these advances affect the InterTropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ).

Modulation of turbulence and mesoscale structure in nested large‐eddy simulations with a gray‐zone parent domain

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The cell perturbation (CP) method mitigate mesoscale structural perturbations entering large‐eddy simulations (LES) from gray‐zone parent domains. The turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) bias‐filtering effect of CP increases with nesting ratio and is most pronounced under weakly convective conditions.

Multiscale numerical sensitivity simulations of a mesoscale gravity‐wave event

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
High‐resolution WRF simulations of the February 14–15, 1992 STORM‐FEST event show that mesoscale gravity‐wave genesis occurs via geostrophic adjustment within an upper‐level unbalanced jet, while wave ducting governs maintenance. High‐resolution (1 km), improved physical parameterization, and targeted sensitivity simulations demonstrate that upstream ...

Dynamics of intense convective rain cells [PDF]

Advances in Geosciences, 2005
Intense precipitation events are often convective in nature. A deeper understanding of the properties and the dynamics of convective rain cells is, therefore, necessary both from a physical and operational point of view.

Why does typhoon Noru (2022) possess severe rapid intensification as explored by the extended Sawyer–Eliassen equation?

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
As inferred from the Sawyer–Eliassen analyses, the intense diabatic heating located slightly inside the radius of maximum tangential wind (RMW) associated with a compact eyewall is mainly responsible for the severe RI of Noru, in contrast to typhoon Goni (2020) at a slower spinup despite similar RMW, due to the weaker diabatic heating. The severe RI of

Muted Amazon Rainfall Response to Deforestation in a Global Storm‐Resolving Model

Geophysical Research Letters
Ongoing Amazon deforestation has raised concerns about forest dieback via induced precipitation changes. Previous studies have found that complete deforestation reduces evapotranspiration, contributing to low precipitation rates that would limit the ...

Subseasonal forecasts of the MJO and convectively coupled equatorial waves in ACCESS‐S2 and GraphCast: A multi‐year analysis

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
ACCESS‐S2 performs better in predicting longer time‐scale and slower moving waves (MJO and equatorial Rossby waves), while GraphCast performs better in predicting shorter and faster moving waves (Kelvin and mixed Rossby–gravity waves). However, both models systematically underestimate precipitation amplitude across all wave types, especially over the ...
