Temario • Revisión de trabajos previos • Datos (Diarios DMC; 15’ DGF; CFSR; TMI/SMI…) • Variabilidad de la línea de nieves e impactos hidro. • Tormentas cálidas y frías • Caso de estudio (Julio 2006) • Análisis compuesto • Modelo conceptual y conclusiones
Background Sistema Frontal + DepresiónExtratropical Martes 20 de Mayo de 2014 ¿Que elemento(s) de gran escala son un buen predictor de la cantidad de precipitación?
Background Falvey & Garreaud 2007: Composite fields and Radiosonde profiles (local conditions) of CCh precipitation events.
Background Viale and Nuñez 2011: NNR Composite fields of CCh precipitation events. Extreme events exhibit sharper / more intense features than intense events.
Background Barret et al. 2012: Composite fields (QS sfc. Wind, TRMM, Z500, etc.) of CCh precipitation events. More amplified/slower systems cause more precipitation
Background Falvey & Garreaud 2007 Statistically robust correlation between CCh rainfall and low-level zonal moisture transport
Background Garreaud et al. 2013. Using PRECIS-ERA40 data, they show that strong (local) correlation between 850 hPa zonal wind and precipitation extends along south-central Chile because of the orographic enhancement in the windward side of the Andes a. r(U850,P) (a) (P,U850)Anual -0.8 -0.4 0 +0.4 +0.8

Conceptual Model • Rainfall at and behind cold front • H0 < 2500 m ASL • Prefrontal rainfall up in the Andes • Well defined baroclinic wave • Deep cyclone off southern Chile • NW flow aloft • Strong topographic blocking • Northerly low-level jet • Rainfall well ahead cold front • H0 > 2500 m ASL • Strong W flow aloft • Conditionally unstable environment • Reduced topographic blocking • Wide, deep layer of ascent • Weak trough farther south • Blocking anticyclone farther west • TransPacific zonal jet and troposheric river
