3 From Cloud systems in satellite images to Conceptual Models If we look into all small details of cloud systems in satellite image there is an unlimited number of configurations If we look from a more distant point of view ignoring smaller details there is a limited number of reappearing configurations These configurations must have a common physical background This is the starting point of Conceptual Models
4 Elements of a Conceptual Model Physical processes in the tropopshere lead to a CM comprising: Typical configurations in satellite images Typical weather events Typical features in typical numerical parameter fields Basic Parameters: Pressure, humidity, temperature and so on Derived Parameter: Vorticity, vorticity advection, potential vorticity, temperature advection, convergence and so on Typical features in vertical cross sections
5 Let us construct a Conceptual Model on the breadboard

16 From Cloud systems in satellite images to Conceptual Models There are physical processes in the atmosphere which: produce cloudiness form cloudiness Two assumptions for the existence of cloudiness are: enough humidity Upward vertical motion: ω = dp/dt Fundamental mathematical relation for describing vertical motion: Omega equation:
17 Omega equation in a quasi-geostrophic system: 2 important assumptions 1.) in the vertical exists hydrostatic equilibrium 2.) pressure and vorticityfield are in geostrophic equilibrium The right-hand side of this form of the omega equation consists of three terms: 1.) the vertical change of vorticity advection 2.) the Laplacian of temperature advection (the change of the horizontal gradient of temperature advection) 3.) the Laplacian of the diabatic warming (the change of the gradient of diabatic warming) not treated in these lectures
18 Vorticityadvection Temperaturadvection (Diabatic Heating) Not treated In these lectures
19 Temperature and Temperature Advection Laplacian of temperature advection -R/ c p 2 [ - v g p T] Upward motion takes place where the (relative) strongest warm advection exists WA - Warm Advection CA - Cold Advection WA takes place in the areas of fronts, especially in warm fronts
20 Which kind of weather systems do you connect with WA? Cold Fronts Warm fronts Waves Features in the upper level trough Features in the upper level ridge Features connected to the jet stream Others
21
22
23 Different WF cloud configurations Meteorologists identify different features as warm fronts or warmfront like cloud system Are these different cloud configurations also different CMs?
24 Please indicate the WF cloud system With yellow star!

26 WF Band WF Shield Detached WF
27 Vorticity and Vorticity advection as cloud producing and forming parameters Vorticity is a streamfield quality - It describes rotation Vorticity is a parameter which is important for cloud formation Vorticity advection has as connection to upward motion: 1 st term in the omega equation Vorticity Relative Vorticity ζ = rot z v 2 = v/ x - u/ y ζ>0... zyklonal ζ < 0...antizyklonal Vorticity = Curvature vorticity + shear vorticity ζ = VKs - V/ n ζs = - V / n Ks... Curvature of the streamlines V... Velocity Vorticity advection Advection of rel. Vort. VA = - v. ζ positive Vorticity advection PVA: VA > 0 Upward motion negative Vorticityadvektion NVA: VA < 0 : Downward motion
28 PVA - upward motion and necessary pre-condition In the 1st term of the ω equation there is the vertical change of the vorticity advection / p. (- v p. η) A contribution to upward motion is given if: PVA increases with height NVA decreases with height Useful simplification: Wind typically increases with height also vorticity increases typically Instead of the vertical change of vorticity advection only the distinct maxima in upper levels (500 or 300 hpa) are inspected
29 Which kind of weather systems do you connect with PVA Cold Fronts Warm fronts Waves Features in the upper level trough Features in the upper level ridge Features connected to the jet stream Others
30 Typical co-operation of shear and curvature vorticity Typical for troughs, lows Typical for jet streams

35 Different Cold air cloud configurations Meteorologists identify different features in the cold air Commas with and without cloud enhancement Enhanced cloudiness without spiral configuration Are these different cloud configurations also different CMs?

40 Potential Vorticity and features in WV images The potential vorticity (PV) is the absolute circulation of an air parcel that is enclosed between two isentropic surfaces PV is the product of absolute vorticity and static stability. Two factors: a dynamical and a thermodynamical element.
41 PV and features in WV images There is a clear relation between PV and water vapour imagery. A low tropopause can be identified in the WV imagery as a dark zone. Circular WV eddies Elongated dark stripes
42 Presentation of PV in connection with satellite images PV has low values in troposphere: values < 1 unit PV has high values in stratosphere: values > 2 units or more Usually the transition between tropopheric and startospheric air is at values beteween 1 and 4 units 1 PV Unit = 10-6 m 2 K(s kg) -1 Two different presentations of PV: As direct values on isentropic surfaces As height of PV = 2 units
43
44
45 Another group of Conceptual Models There is a group of Conceptual Models which belong to both physical states: Upward motion through WA and through PVA Waves at Coldfronts Meteorologists identify different cloud configurations as waves Are they also different Conceptual models?
