Journal ArticleDOI
Life Cycle Study of a Diabatic Rossby Wave as a Precursor to Rapid Cyclogenesis in the North Atlantic—Dynamics and Forecast Performance
Maxi Boettcher,Heini Wernli +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a quasigeostrophic omega diagnostic has been applied to assess the impact of upper-level forcing during the genesis, propagation, and intensification phase, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multi-model simulations of a convective situation in low-mountain terrain in central Europe
J. Trentmann,Christian Keil,Marc Salzmann,Christian Barthlott,Hans-Stefan Bauer,Thomas Schwitalla,Mark Lawrence,Daniel Leuenberger,Volker Wulfmeyer,Ulrich Corsmeier,Ch. Kottmeier,Heini Wernli +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the variability of simulated convective precipitation by three convection-resolving models using different set-ups and initial and boundary conditions, and found that the amount of simulated precipitation does not correlate with CAPE or CIN.
Journal ArticleDOI
A 10-yr Climatology of Diabatic Rossby Waves in the Northern Hemisphere
Maxi Boettcher,Heini Wernli +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a specific DRW-tracking algorithm is developed and applied to operational ECMWF analyses to compile a first climatology of DRWs in the Northern Hemisphere for the years 2001-10.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of an ensemble of ocean–atmosphere coupled and uncoupled regional climate models to reproduce the climatology of Mediterranean cyclones
Emmanouil Flaounas,Fanni D. Kelemen,Heini Wernli,Miguel Ángel Gaertner,Marco Reale,Emilia Sanchez-Gomez,Piero Lionello,Piero Lionello,Sandro Calmanti,Zorica Podrascanin,Samuel Somot,Naveed Akhtar,Raquel Romera,Dario Conte +13 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the skill of regional climate models (RCMs) at reproducing the climatology of Mediterranean cyclones and assess the cyclone tracking methods from the perspective of different cyclone definitions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The general observation period 2007 within the priority program on quantitative precipitation forecasting: concept and first results

TL;DR: In the year 2007, a General Observation Period (GOP) was performed within the German Priority Program on Quantitative Precipitation Forecasting (PQP) by optimizing the use of existing instrumentation as mentioned in this paper.
