TYPE TYPE №4№4

• Precipitation under type 4 were 14 times (from 21)• The heaviest precipitation during this winter were

observed under 4 type• Weather type 4 was observed often then others

• Periphery of cyclone.• Atmospheric front alter

direction because of the mountains.

• Front can stop between mountains and does not change location during several days

• When it is type 4, it is 50% that heavy precipitation

Real example of type №4March, 13Precipitation - 40 mm/day COSMO-Ru2 forecast

Cold flux from the north -> intensification of atmospheric fronts -> interaction with mountains -> low speed -> fronts stop in the valley -> heavy precipitation

Additional investigations of COST-733

Program software from http://cost733.met.no/ was used for Europe and Western Siberia in order to:- obtain new types of circulation

- find out how discrimination to different types (for temperature and precipitation) statistically significant. How temperature and precipitation distribution under weather type differ from mean values for whole period (1957-2013).

• List of dates for whole period (1957-2013) with weather types (from 1 to 20)

Inter annual frequency of different types doesn’t show significant trends for this period

Discrimination of different weather typesHow distribution of temperature and precipitation under different weather types (20) differ from mean values during period (1957-2013)?

Statistical criterion of Kolmogorov-Smirnov shows how different two data distributions from each other

We found out that for Sochi region only 4 types differ from “climate” in terms of precipitation (there is a tendency to dry or wet weather). Under others 16 types precipitations with big variety of intensity can be observed

11 types differ from “climate” in terms of temperature

Practical Proposals of values for Correction of COSMO-Ru2 Forecasts under different wind directions

Some practical recommendations for forecasters in mountain cluster are obtained:

- Microclimatic properties of wind, visibility and precipitation

- Large- scale Synoptic situations which lead to heavy precipitation

- Estimates of model forecast of temperature, dewpoint temperature, precipitation, wind speed and wind direction

- Corrections coefficients to model forecast with dependence of weather conditions were defined
