• Weusthoff , T : 2011 , Weather Type Classification at MeteoSwiss – Introduction of new classifications automatic Choice of classification (period 1/12/2012 – 20/03/2013) Project COST-733 - “Harmonisation and Applications of Weather Type Classifications for European regions“ WeusthoffT:2011,WeatherTypeClassificationatMeteoSwiss–Introductionofnew automaticclassificationsschemes,ArbeitsberichtederMeteoSchweiz,vol.235,46p Amount of days which couldn’t be rangedto a certain class http://geo23.geo.uni-augsburg.de/cost733wiki schemes, Arbeitsberichte der MeteoSchweiz , vol . 235 , 46 p
Period: 1.12.2012-20.03.2013 The most often types: 1, 4, 14, 16, 17, 23, 24, 26 № 4
Type №4 • Periphery of cyclone. • Atmospheric front alter direction because of the mountains. • Front can stop between mountains and does not change location during several days • When it is type 4, it is 50% that heavy precipitation • Precipitation under type 4 were 14 times (from 21) • The heaviest precipitation during this winter were observed under 4 type • Weather type 4 was observed often then others
Real example of type №4 March, 13 Precipitation - 40 mm/day COSMO-Ru2 forecast Cold flux from the north -> intensification of atmospheric fronts -> interaction with mountains -> low speed -> fronts stop in the valley -> heavy precipitation
Weather types withoutheavy precipitation (<10mm): 2,6,8,10,11,12,13,18,22,27
Weather types withheavy precipitation (>10mm): 1,4,7,9,14,16,17,19,25
Deference (gradient) between continental and coastal temperature Coastal (sea) air temperature Continental air temperature
Dependence of precipitation on sea and continental temperature difference Dependence of precipitation on sea and continental temperature difference
Additional investigations of COST-733 • Program software from http://cost733.met.no/ was used for Europe and Western Siberia in order to: • - obtain new types of circulation • - find out how discrimination to different types (for temperature and precipitation) statistically significant. How temperature and precipitation distribution under weather type differ from mean values for whole period (1957-2013).
Typificationof large-scale processes by k-mean distance method Period: December – March, resolution 1.5x1.5 degrees 01.09.1957 – 31.08.2002 ERA-40 01.09.2002 – 31.03.2013 ERA Interim Amount of weather type – 20 Domain of typification takes into account main synoptic processes
Calculation results • Set of circulation types (map of ground pressure) • List of dates for whole period (1957-2013) with weather types (from 1 to 20) Inter annual frequency of different types doesn’t show significant trends for this period
Discrimination of different weather types How distribution of temperature and precipitation under different weather types (20) differ from mean values during period (1957-2013)? Statistical criterion of Kolmogorov-Smirnov shows how different two data distributions from each other We found out that for Sochi region only 4 types differ from “climate” in terms of precipitation (there is a tendency to dry or wet weather). Under others 16 types precipitations with big variety of intensity can be observed 11 types differ from “climate” in terms of temperature

Location of Olympic objects Valley is protected from the large-scale wind streams, the height of venues (800 – 1500 m) are close to the top of cloudiness The resolution of COSMO-2 is not sufficient for reproducing the local values of critical parameters - the additional techniques are necessary 1 – ski centre«Rosa Hutor»; 2 – Extreme-park – «Rosa Hutor»; 3 – bobsleigh centre; 4 – ski-jump; 5 – Complex for biathlon and cross-country skiing

Practical Proposals of values for Correction of COSMO-Ru2 Forecasts under different wind directions
Some practical recommendations for forecasters in mountain cluster are obtained: - Microclimatic properties of wind, visibility and precipitation - Large- scale Synoptic situations which lead to heavy precipitation - Estimates of model forecast of temperature, dewpoint temperature, precipitation, wind speed and wind direction - Corrections coefficients to model forecast with dependence of weather conditions were defined Main Results:
