  1. Life Cycle of Deep Convection during the COPS Field Campaign (LIFCOC)Martin Hagen, Hartmut Höller, George CraigInstitut für Physik der Atmosphäre, DLR Oberpfaffenhofen

  2. LIFCOC is a proposal within the “COPS bundle” • only project in PPL • POLDIRAD only instrument to measure4-d microphysics • Its goal is: “to study the complete life cycle of deep convection in mountainous terrain from initiation to decay” • It aims to answer the hypotheses and science questions of COPS and in particular the ones of the working group PPL: • Location and timing of CI depends on the humidity (and wind) field • Life cycle of single cells is affected by orography, but not the one of larger systems • PPL 1: what is role of orography for the development of cells ? • PPL 2: does the orography affect the hydrometeor distribution ? • PPL 3: how does the RDSD change during the life cycle ?

  3. Using • radar • lidar • lightning measurements • numerical simulations to describe • the life cycle of precipitation • the variation of rain drop size distribution • the development of lightning in relation to orography SPP 1167 Begutachtung, 10. Jan. 08, Bad Honnef

  5. Work plan of LIFCOC • New Project, funding requested for 2 years, 3rd year internal funding SPP 1167 Begutachtung, 10. Jan. 08, Bad Honnef

  6. Cooperation within COPS bundle SPP 1167 Begutachtung, 10. Jan. 08, Bad Honnef

  7. Other national (+SPP PQP) and international cooperation • Universität Hamburg (MRR measurements), G. Peters • SPP1167 QUEST (COSMO-DE simulations and improvement of model microphysics) • SPP1167 DAQUA (COSMO-DE simulation and assimilation) • Université de Clermont-Ferrand (X-band radar Bischenberg), J. van Baelen • Observatoire Midi-Pyrénées (MesoNH simulations), E. Richard • NCAR (DOW), T. Weckwerth SPP 1167 Begutachtung, 10. Jan. 08, Bad Honnef
