CONTENT 1th Case-study:Confluence Lines situation (3 October 2005) 2nd Case-study: Mesoscale Convective System (MCS) (21 October 2005) 3rd Case-study: Tropopause anomaly Cyclogenesis ( 23 February 2006) over Jonian Sea

FI by jet Comma Confluence lines Interpretation of precipitations (EURO-LM Model) Based on Conceptual Models
Low rainfall overestimation EURO-LM locates well FI by jet High precipitation overestimation due to orographic effect. Model dynamic is good Strong convection line produces heavy rain well forecsted in intensity but not so in the space Dynamics very good (Cold Front and pre-frontal Confluence Lines ) Precipitations cumulated in 24 hours

MCSs Interpretation of precipitations Based on Conceptual Models
Rainfall overstimation Dynamics good (MCS) but evolution and path were wrong Precipitations cumulated in 24 hours
3rd case - study (23 February 2006) Tropopause anomaly Cyclogenesis over Jonian Sea
Heavy rain Forecasted Over Mid-adriatic Area, Calabria and Eastern Sicily
Rainfall Observed Over Mid-adriatic Area (good estimation) Calabria and Eastern Sicily (over-estimation)
CONCLUSIONS • Test case – studies discussed indicate good performances in EURO LM and LAMI precipitation forecasts related to dynamic synoptic patterns. • Problems arise in case of rainfall due to Mesoscale convective activity, mainly in the location of precipitation area. • Conceptual models seem to be promising for the interpretation and for the discussion of the results obtained by LM.
