2 Motivations and Methodology Results Summary Outline Motivations and Methodology Related work Numerical models Importance of divergence information to short-term convective forecasts NLB omega equation Results Quality of NLB omega diagnostics NLB omega equation terms Comparison NLB vs digitally filtered omega Divergent winds and analysis
3 Motivations and Methodology Results Summary Related work Models Divergence/convection NLB ω Higher-order balance in variational data assimilation Adiabatic balanced omega (QG) in the control variable (4DVAR) at ECMWF (synoptic scale) by Fisher (2003). Incorporate diabatic forcing terms in the QG omega equation (Fillion, 2004a-b): temperature tendencies from model s convection (parameterized /explicit). Is it possible to extend the method: Models at 1-10 km resolution Yes! Are there higher-order terms necessary? Not necessarily Are divergent winds important for short-term convective forecasts? Yes!
4 Motivations and Methodology Results Summary Related work Models Divergence/convection NLB ω Experiments Canadian GEM model: regional (REG) operational and Limited-Area (LAM) configurations (Côté at al., 1998). Multi-nested mesoscale model simulations Pilot model: REG 15 km. Nested model: LAM 2.5 km. LAM Model Integration timestep: 1 minute. Non-hydrostatic, explicit convection. Real case study Model initialization: July 7th UTC. Almost purely convective. No synoptic-scale baroclinic and upper level forcings.

After 45 mins of forecasts (initial divergence from pilot LAM in black) initial divergence = 0 correlation=0.13 (0.21 after 30 min.) initial divergence = balanced correlation=0.70 (0.81 after 30 min.)
14 Motivations and Methodology Results Summary Summary This case study suggests that : NLB omega equation is valid for mesoscale convective ensembles as small as 15 km using model s diabatic temperature tendencies; Some spatial and temporal filtering is needed; Rotational effects are generally not significant; The term R p 2 Sω balances R p 2 q c p. Diagnosed balanced divergent winds contains useful information for the evolution of convection. Results not shown in this presentation : Model mass field is highly contaminated by high frequency oscillations. It is possible to calculate the balanced part of the mass field from the rotational winds using NLB equation. Questions?
