- Abstract
- The cyclonic formation of IOP 15 of MAP (6-7 November 1999) is examined
with respect to mesoscale features in the geopotential, temperature,
wind and precipitation fields. The effect of orography at different
scales is evaluated using a mesoscale meteorological model (BOLAM).
Model errors are determined by comparing standard and special MAP-SOP
observations with model output. An Optimal Interpolation reanalysis of the
initial condition, aimed at assimilating mesoscale structures, is applied,
resulting in an overall reduction of the forecast error,
including position of local scale precipitation maximum in the Lago
Maggiore target area south of the Alps. Different orography
representations have an impact on the error patterns, since it is
shown that the Alpine orography largely controls the cyclone growth over
the Mediterranean. Particular attention is devoted to the model
verification of precipitation and wind fields in the vicinity of the Alps,
where special observations allow for fine-scale analysis. (literal)
