description |
International audience The dynamical and microphysical properties of a well-observed cyclone from the North Atlantic Waveguide and Downstream Impact Experiment (NAWDEX), called the Stalactite cyclone and corresponding to intensive observa- tion period 6, is examined using two atmospheric compo- nents (ARPEGE-Climat 6.3 and LMDZ6A) of the global cli- mate models CNRM-CM6-1 and IPSL-CM6A, respectively. The hindcasts are performed in “weather forecast mode”, run at approximately 150–200 km (low resolution, LR) and ap- proximately 50 km (high resolution, HR) grid spacings, and initialised during the initiation stage of the cyclone. Cyclo- genesis results from the merging of two relative vorticity maxima at low levels: one associated with a diabatic Rossby vortex (DRV) and the other initiated by baroclinic interac- tion with a pre-existing upper-level potential vorticity (PV) cut-off. All hindcasts produce (to some extent) a DRV. How- ever, the second vorticity maximum is almost absent in LR hindcasts because of an underestimated upper-level PV cut- off. The evolution of the cyclone is examined via the quasi- geostrophic ω equation which separates the diabatic heat- ing component from the dynamical one. In contrast to some previous studies, there is no change in the relative impor- tance of diabatic heating with increased resolution. The anal- ysis shows that LMDZ6A produces stronger diabatic heat- ing compared to ARPEGE-Climat 6.3. Hindcasts initialised during the mature stage of the cyclone are compared withairborne remote-sensing measurements. There is an under- estimation of the ice water content in the model compared to the one retrieved from radar-lidar measurements. Consis- tent with the increased heating rate in LMDZ6A compared to ARPEGE-Climat 6.3, the sum of liquid and ice water con- tents is higher in LMDZ6A than ARPEGE-Climat 6.3 and, in that sense, LMDZ6A is closer to the observations. How- ever, LMDZ6A strongly overestimates the fraction of super- cooled liquid compared to the observations by a factor ... |
