| Zusammenfassung |
Three offshore rainbands associated with nocturnal coastal fronts formed near
the Israeli coastline, the Gulf of Genoa and on the northeastern coast of the
Iberian Peninsula, are simulated using version 3.3 of the WRF-ARW
mesoscale model in order to study the dynamics of the atmosphere in each case.
The simulations show coastal fronts producing relatively high (in comparison with some other similar
rainbands) 1 and 10 h accumulated precipitations that formed in the
Mediterranean Basin. According to these simulations, the coastal fronts that
formed near the Israeli coastline and over the Gulf of Genoa are
quasi-stationary, while the one that formed on the northeastern coast of the
Iberian Peninsula moves away from the coast. For the three events, we
evaluate and intercompare some parameters related to convective triggering,
deceleration induced by the cold pool in the upstream flow, and the blockage
that the cold coastal front offers to the warmer maritime air mass. |
