Objective climatology and classification of the Mediterranean cyclones based on the ERA5 data set and the use of the results for the definition of seasons

G. Kotsias et al.

Summary: An objective analysis of cyclones in the Mediterranean region was conducted using mean sea-level pressure data from the ERA5 database. The cyclone trajectories were classified into 12 clusters and used to define four seasons. A comparison with other season definition methods revealed differences in the duration of winter and spring. Long-term changes in the characteristics of the seasons were also examined.

Interactions Between the Nocturnal Low-Level Jets and the Urban Boundary Layer: A Case Study over London

Aristofanis Tsiringakis et al.

Summary: Understanding the physical processes that affect turbulent structure of the nocturnal urban boundary layer is crucial for improving air quality and temperature forecasts in urban areas. This study examines the interaction of a mesoscale low-level jet (LLJ) with the urban boundary layer during a 60-hour case study. By utilizing observations from Doppler lidars and numerical-weather-prediction models, the study analyzes differences in LLJ characteristics between an urban site (London, U.K.) and a rural site (Chilbolton, U.K.). The findings show that LLJs are elevated over the urban area due to a deeper boundary layer, and wind speed and fall-off are slightly reduced in comparison to rural LLJs. Topography is found to significantly affect LLJ characteristics, but urban influence is still substantial. Furthermore, the study reveals that the increase in wind shear under the LLJ enhances the shear production of turbulent kinetic energy and helps maintain vertical mixing in the nocturnal urban boundary layer.

Wind and Turbulence Statistics in the Urban Boundary Layer over a Mountain-Valley System in Granada, Spain

Pablo Ortiz-Amezcua et al.

Summary: Characterizing the urban boundary layer is crucial for weather and air quality modeling and forecasting. This study utilized scanning Doppler lidar measurements to analyze the wind profiles in a medium-sized city surrounded by mountains in southern Spain. The results revealed differences in diurnal wind evolution and the presence of convective activity during the day and wind shear-driven turbulence at night in the atmospheric boundary layer.

Influence of Assimilating Wind Profiling Radar Observations in Distinct Dynamic Instability Regions on the Analysis and Forecast of an Extreme Rainstorm Event in Southern China

Deqiang Liu et al.

Summary: This study quantitatively examines the contribution of assimilating observations in regions with different dynamic instabilities to the analysis and prediction of an extreme rainstorm event in Fujian Province, China. The results show that assimilating all wind profiling radar (WPR) observations can reduce the wind analysis error by about 30%, with assimilation in strong instability areas (SIA) resulting in about 12% lower errors compared to weak instability areas (WIA). Assimilating observations in SIA effectively corrects wind fields on both sides of the wind shear line, leading to improved precipitation forecasts compared to assimilation in WIA.

A new scanning scheme and flexible retrieval for mean winds and gusts from Doppler lidar measurements

Julian Steinheuer et al.

Summary: This study investigates the derivation of wind gusts from Doppler wind lidar (DWL) observations and develops a new wind retrieval method applicable to different scanning configurations and time resolutions. The fast continuous scanning mode (CSM) proves to be the best configuration for retrieving wind gusts, showing good agreement with measurements from a sonic anemometer at a meteorological tower in Falkenberg, Germany.

Simulation of Vesuvius volcanic ash hazards within Romanian airspace using the Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory Volcanic Ash numerical model

Ana Denisa Urlea et al.

Summary: This article investigates the potential impact of a large eruption of Vesuvius volcano on the Romanian air space. By simulating the ash plume transport and assessing air circulation types, it is found that a long-wave trough and southwesterly flow could lead to direct transport of volcanic ash cloud towards Romania. Non-negative matrix factorization method is used to identify the atmospheric layer with maximum mass values, indicating that the maximum mass values are obtained at an altitude around 7 km.
