Richard (3) (1) Institut Pierre-Simon Laplace, UPMC/CNRS/UVSQ (2) Géosciences Montpellier UM2/CNRS, (3) Laboratoire d'Aérologie OMP/CNRS Water vapour variability in the Rhine Valley and its role on convective initiation: first results from LEANDRE 2 COPS workshop 27-29 February 2008, University of Hohenheim

2 Objectives understand the role of mesoscale dynamics processes on the water vapour variability in the Rhine Valley, and particularly on the formation of dry layers and lids above the Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL), LEANDRE 2 01/08/08 around 0810 UTC

3 Objectives understand the role of mesoscale dynamics processes on the water vapour variability in the Rhine Valley, and particularly on the formation of dry layers and lids above the Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL), comprehend the relative importance soil moisture, surface heterogeneities, and orography on the ABL water vapour variability, assess the impact of mesoscale water vapour variability on convection initiation (CI), and the role of dry layers & lids on CI or convection inhibition, demonstrate the potential of airborne lidar-derived water vapor measurements for improving CI in mesoscale models through 4D assimilation, contribute to the water vapour profiling instruments intercomparison.

4 Tools & strategy Systematic sampling of water vapour in the Rhine Valley (incl. the Vosges and the Black Forest) using the airborne DIAL LEANDRE 2, prior to CI events, implementation of supersites with dedicated profiling systems, Mesoscale simulations (control and sensitivity analyses), lidar-derived water vapour mixing ratio profiles assimilation experiments (using AROME).

16 Conclusions and perspectives great LEANDRE 2 dataset, we should be able to complete our initial objectives !! LEANDRE 2 dataset quality currently being assessed by Paolo’s group  (bias & RMS deviation, see Rohini’s talk), data available right now!!! cyf@aero.jussieu.fr 15 July & 1 August  day long evolution, 15 & 20 July  pre-CI observations in the Rhine Valley. design mesoscale simulations 15 & 20 July, 1 August cases and sensitivity experiments, liaise with other experimental groups, conduct 4D-VAR assimilation experiments of airborne lidar- derived water vapour measurements, contribute to the IASI water vapour profiling validation.
