In this study, the seasonal variation in DSD and its response to cloud regimes over two contrasting coastal sites (i.e. Kolkata (22.58° N, 88.45° E) and Trivandrum (8.43° N, 76.98° E) of India obtained using laser precipitation monitor (LPM) disdrometer for more than 2 years are investigated. The results show a significant difference in DSD spectra between Kolkata and Trivandrum. It is observed that the smaller-size (&lt; 0.5 mm) particles are more dominant over Trivandrum than at Kolkata. During the monsoon, larger raindrops (D &gt; 2 mm) dominate over Kolkata when compared with Trivandrum and clear separations in DSD were observed in the pre-monsoon season. The percentage contribution of the rain types to the total rainfall duration over Kolkata (Trivandrum) is found to be about 74.13% (80.50%), 18.97% (15.35%) and 6.98% (4.13%) for stratiform, transition and convective, respectively. In the convective rain, the smaller (mid-size, 1 &lt; D &lt; 3 mm and large, D &gt; 3 mm) drops concentrations are higher (lower) over Trivandrum, while mid-size and larger (smaller, D &lt; 0.5 mm) drops are higher (lower) over Kolkata. The convective rains are dominated by continental/maritime and maritime over Kolkata and Trivandrum, respectively. As the rain rate increases, the DSD spectra have larger widths with peaks around diameter D ~ 0.5 mm over both the locations. Further, the empirical relations between reflectivity (Z) and rain rate (R) were established, which are found to be different for different rain types. In each rain type, the Z-R relationship over Kolkata (Trivandrum) is Z = 56.4*R<sup>1.94</sup> (Z = 21.3*R<sup>2.18</sup>), Z = 118.8*R<sup>1.89</sup> (Z = 106.4*R<sup>1.83</sup>), and Z = 388.0*R<sup>1.54</sup> (Z = 303.1*R<sup>1.38</sup>) for convective, transition and stratiform rains, respectively. These results clearly indicate that the two locations are dominated by different cloud systems and microphysical processes.

The Quasi-biennial Oscillation (QBO) was also investigated, revealing a synchronized variation with the ozone anomaly in the UTLS region. Furthermore, the calculated eddy heat flux, utilized as a proxy for the Brewer–Dobson Circulation (BDC), aligns with the UTLS ozone anomalies, indicating a positive (negative) anomaly during periods of intense tropical downwelling (upwelling). To quantitatively elucidate the contributions of ENSO, IOD, and QBO to the observed ozone anomaly, a multivariate linear regression analysis was executed utilizing the least square method. The findings underscore that a notable fraction—about one-fourth of the observed UTLS ozone anomaly within the study timeframe (2005–2020) can be attributed collectively to ENSO, IOD, and QBO.

Among such sites, fragmented croplands with varying surface roughness characteristics pose formidable challenges for footprint analysis. We conducted two flux monitoring experiments in fragmented croplands characterized by two dissimilar surfaces with objectives to: (i) evaluate the performance of two analytical footprint models in heterogeneous canopy considering aggregated roughness parameters and (ii) analyze the contribution of fluxes from individual surfaces under changing wind speed. A set of three eddy covariance (EC) towers (one each capturing the homogenous fluxes from individual surfaces and a third, high tower capturing the heterogeneous mixed fluxes) was used for method validation. High-quality EC fluxes that fulfill stationarity and internal turbulence tests were analyzed considering daytime, unstable conditions. In the first experiment, source area contribution from a surface is gradually reduced by progressive cut, and its effect on high-tower flux measurements is analyzed. Two footprint models (Kormann and Meixner ‘KM’; analytical solution to Lagrangian model ‘FFP’) with modified surface roughness parameters were applied under changing source area contributions. FFP model has consistently over predicted the footprints (RMSE<sub>FFP</sub> = 0.31 m<sup>−1</sup>, PBIAS<sub>FFP</sub> = 19.00), whereas KM model prediction was gradually changed from over prediction to under prediction towards higher upwind distances (RMSE<sub>KM</sub> = 0.02 m<sup>−1</sup>, PBIAS<sub>KM</sub> = 8.50). Sensitivity analysis revealed that the models are more sensitive to turbulent conditions than surface characteristics. This motivated to conduct the second experiment, where the fractional contribution of individual surfaces (<em>α</em> and <em>β</em>) to the heterogeneous fluxes measured by the high tower (T3) was estimated using the principle of superposition (FT3 = <em>α</em> FT1 + <em>β</em> FT2). Results showed that <em>α</em> and <em>β</em> are dynamic during daylight hours and strongly depend on mean wind speed (<em>U</em>) and friction velocity (<em>u</em>*).

The Tubbs Fire spread over 36,000 acres and destroyed 5,636 structures, killing 22.

These adjustments enabled the organization of a deepening and ascending inversion over the Sierra Nevada, as well as a self-induced wave critical layer between 850 and 700 hPa prior to Diablo Wind formation. As the organizing jet streak departed, the discontinuously stratified atmosphere over the Sierra Nevada and coastal mountains in Northern California provided a favorable environment for mountain wave amplification.

The statistical evaluation of three microphysical parameterization schemes shows that the two-moment scheme WDM6 is more reasonable than the other two schemes in simulating the precipitation distribution, central intensity, and cloud characteristic distribution. There are significant bimodal characteristics in the diurnal variation of precipitation during the Meiyu period by analyzing the observation data. The numerical experiment accurately simulated the time and magnitude of the early morning peak in the heavy rain area but failed to reproduce the peak in the late afternoon, resulting in a false weak rainfall accumulation. The comparison of simulation results with the observed cloud macroscale and microscale characteristics revealed that the reason for the deviation of precipitation simulation was closely related to the inaccurate description of cloud microphysical quantities. The lack of ice phase cloud droplets led to excessively strong radiative heating rate at 200–500 hPa, resulting in anomalous warming in the mid-upper troposphere. Meanwhile, the cold advection at 850 hPa led to anomalous cooling in the lower troposphere, increasing atmospheric stability and further inhibiting the development of the afternoon thermal convection process.</p>","PeriodicalId":51132,"journal":{"name":"Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138537943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
