| Zusammenfassung |
| STOPEX (Stord Orographic Precipitation Experiment) is a research
project of the Geophysical Institute, University of Bergen,
Norway, dedicated to the investigation of orographic effects on
fine scale precipitation patterns by a combination of numerical
modelling and tailored measurement campaigns. Between 24 September
and 16 November 2005 the first field campaign STOPEX I has been
performed at and around the island of Stord at the west coast of
Norway, about 50 km south of Bergen. 12 rain gauges and 3
autonomous weather stations have been installed to measure the
variability of precipitation and the corresponding meteorological
conditions. This paper gives an overview of the projects
motivation, a description of the campaign and a presentation of
the precipitation measurements performed. In addition, the extreme
precipitation event around 14 November with precipitation amounts
up to 240 mm in less than 24 h, is described and briefly
discussed. In this context preliminary results of corresponding
MM5 simulations are presented, that indicate the problems as well
as potential improvement strategies with respect to modelling of
fine scale orographic precipitation. |
