Abstract

On average, a derecho occurs once a year in Poland while bow echoes happen several times per year. On 11 August 2017, severe meteorological phenomena were observed in Poland, including extremely strong wind gusts. We focused especially on the convective windstorm of a derecho type which occurred on that date in northern and north-western Poland. A rapidly moving mesoscale convective system (MCS) resulted in a bow echo, a mesoscale convective vortex (MCV), and finally fulfilled the criteria for a derecho. To establish whether our operational models in the Institute of Meteorology and Water Management, National Research Institute (IMGW-PIB) could reproduce a derecho of such intensity as that of 11 August 2017, the results from two mesoscale numerical weather prediction models were analyzed. The Application of Research to Operation at Mesoscale (AROME) and the ALADIN & AROME (ALARO) models were applied in the non-hydrostatic regime. We also examine how models differ with respect to mesoscale convective system drivers (such as vertical wind shear and convective available potential energy) and representation of deep convection (e.g., vertical velocities, cold pool generation). Forecasts are compared with observations of wind gusts and radar data. Severe weather phenomena, such as rear inflow jet and cold pool, were predicted by both models, visible on the maps of the wind velocity at 850 and 925 hPa pressure levels and on the map of air temperature at 2 m above the ground level, respectively. Relative vorticity maps of the middle and lower troposphere were analyzed for understanding the evolution of MCV.
使用ALARO和AROME数值天气预报模式对2017年8月11日derecho天气进行预报
平均而言,波兰每年发生一次derecho,而bow回声每年发生几次。2017年8月11日,波兰观测到恶劣气象现象,包括强风。我们特别关注当天在波兰北部和西北部发生的德雷科型对流风暴。快速移动的中尺度对流系统(MCS)产生弓形回波,即中尺度对流涡(MCV),最终满足消回波的标准。为了确定我们在国家科学研究院气象与水管理研究所(IMGW-PIB)的业务模式是否可以再现2017年8月11日这样强度的回波,我们分析了两个中尺度数值天气预报模式的结果。在非流体静力状态下应用了研究与中尺度操作的应用(AROME)和ALADIN & AROME (ALARO)模式。我们还研究了模式在中尺度对流系统驱动因素(如垂直风切变和对流有效势能)和深层对流表征(如垂直速度、冷池生成)方面的差异。预报与阵风观测和雷达资料进行比较。在850 hPa和925 hPa气压水平的风速图和高于地面2 m的气温图上,两种模式分别预测了后入流急流和冷池等恶劣天气现象。分析了对流层中下层的相对涡度图,以了解中低压的演变过程。
