Institut für Physik der Atmosphäre 2Martin Hagen, 8th COPS and CSIP Meeting, Madingley Hall, Oct COPS International field campaign in summer 2007 within the frame of the priority program 1167 of the German Science Foundation (DFG) Quantitative Precipitation Forecast Convective and Orographically-induced Precipitation Study

Institut für Physik der Atmosphäre 3Martin Hagen, 8th COPS and CSIP Meeting, Madingley Hall, Oct Radar coverage COPS objectives require good radar coverage, polarimetric preferred several operational radars in the region all are Doppler radars none of them (except Montancy) is polarimetric X-band (r = 20 km) two mobile DOWs deployment of DLR polarimetric C-band Doppler radar POLDIRAD FrankfurtNeuheilenbach Türk- heim Montancy F/CHAlbis CH POLDIRAD

Institut für Physik der Atmosphäre 5Martin Hagen, 8th COPS and CSIP Meeting, Madingley Hall, Oct Climatology of Convection in the COPS region number of 15 minute radar images where reflectivity was 46 dBZ or higher per pixel (out of total app radar images) Distribution of occurrence of air-mass convection (radar , May-August)

Institut für Physik der Atmosphäre 6Martin Hagen, 8th COPS and CSIP Meeting, Madingley Hall, Oct Orographic Effects on the Life Cycle of Convection One of the main objectives of COPS is to study the orographic effect on the initiation and life cycle of convective precipitation. R. Banta, 1990

Institut für Physik der Atmosphäre 14Martin Hagen, 8th COPS and CSIP Meeting, Madingley Hall, Oct Vosges Wind Direction and Initiation of Cells Wind from 12 UTC soundings - Nancy and Stuttgart hPa and 700 hPa (crest height) (1500 m above) Ridge initiation related to weaker winds, and flow perpendicular or parallel to the Vosges Lee initiation related to higher south-westerly (or NE, NW) winds NancyStuttgart

Institut für Physik der Atmosphäre 15Martin Hagen, 8th COPS and CSIP Meeting, Madingley Hall, Oct Flow over Mountains Froude Number indicates whether flow is over mountains or flow is diverted around mountains. Theory: Fr 1 flow over mountains How representative is the Nancy or Stuttgart sounding ? U = characteristic flow speed N = Brunt-Väisälä-Frequency H = Height of obstacle Aug13 Aug12 Nancy Froude Number Brunt-Vaisala Frequency Stuttgart 12 UTC sounding 850 hPa

Institut für Physik der Atmosphäre 16Martin Hagen, 8th COPS and CSIP Meeting, Madingley Hall, Oct Conclusions Major difference caused by the wind profile (stability is of minor role) 12 Aug.13 Aug. weak winds perpendicular or strong winds from south-west parallel to Vosgesaround and over mountains Models are able to simulate the situation and can provide additional information about the background fields of observed situation
