Presentation Transcript

  1. Observations of 11 June 2002 IHOP CI Case Huaqing Cai NCAR/ASP/ATD Wen-Chau Lee NCAR/ATD

  2. Research Objectives • Re-construct the 3D dynamical and moisture fields associated with the boundary using all the observational tools available • Try to understand why convection occurred on places which are outside the IHOP IOD but not along the boundary the IHOP personnel was working on

  3. PALT TEMP Td North of Boundary South of Boundary

  4. MR THETAV THETAE North of Boundary South of Boundary

  5. Microwave Radiometer North of Boundary South of Boundary

  6. NCAR Mobil Sounding LFC=3.3 KM MSL LFC=4.4 KM MSL South of Boundary North of Boundary

  7. DBZ 1.0 KM

  8. VORT 1.0 KM

  9. W 1.0 KM

  10. DBZ 1.0 KM

  11. VORT 1.0 KM

  12. W 1.0 KM

  13. DBZ W VORT

  14. Summary and Future Work • Not enough dynamical forcing along the moisture boundary seems to be the reason that convection does not occur • Further investigation needs to be done to identify why convection initiated both north and south of the boundary being sampled by the IHOP personnel
