1 Amplification of high precipitation in the Western Mediterranean by Corsica island flow and convection Ch. Kottmeier, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology With contributions by B. Adler, I.Kraut, B. Vogel, K.-U. Nerding, U.Corsmeier, F. Ehmele, N. Kalthoff
2 Amplification of high precipitation in the Western Mediterranean by Corsica island flow and convection Questions adressed: What are the processes amplifying precipitation over Corsica? Does Corsica effect larger scale processes? Are there downstream island effects on HIW at the French and Italian coasts? 2

20 But there are also other processes 3) Moisture supply from the surrounding ocean surfaces (effected by orographic flow of Corsica) 32 Dornier128 flights 21 days during HyMEx SOP1 Eddy covariance measurements P. Gasch, A. Wieser, U. Corsmeier 20

22 Amplification of high precipitation in the Western Mediterranean by Corsica island flow and convection Summary What are the processes amplifying precipitation over Corsica? Mountain surface heating, land-sea contrast, interacting sea breeze/valley wind/slope wind circulations, tropospheric forcing Does Corsica effect larger scale processes? Yes, via downstream convection, flow around island, induced convergence lines over sea Are there downstream island effects on HIW at the French and Italian coasts? Probably, via dynamical triggering of Genua cyclogenesis, wind effects on sea salt uptake and moisture supply 22
