Milestone of SoWMEX/TiMREX (1/2) • April 14-16, Sounding Inter-comparison study at Banciao, Paul Ciesielski, PH Lin, CH Liu, and WJ Chen. • April 16- May 8, Rain measurement calibration study at NTU campus, international team led by Gyuwon Lee (USA, Taiwan, Canada, and Korea) • April 20, SPOL site preparation completed (Kang) and SPOL arrived Taiwan • May 2, dropsonde test flight (PH Lin) • May 8, NCAR/EOL team completed SPOL deployment at Hsinyuan levee and started to test. • May 10, TEAM-r started to do inter-comparison with SPOL. • May 10-13, SPOL International Training Camp held at NPUST, Pingtung (Vivek, Gyuwon Lee, S Ellis), 40 students participated. • May 12, test cruise was successfully conducted. • May 12-15, Gyuwon Lee led the international rain measurement team to set up the super-site network at Pingtung area. • May 12-14, Jim Moore tested the OCC operation, the video conference facility. • May 14, Jim Wilson and Tammy Weckwerth arrived Pingtung SPOL site. • May 15, SoWMEX/TiMREX field phase started
Milestone of SoWMEX/TiMREX (2/2) • May 15-20, only non-organizing convective systems were observed. • May 19 06Z, IOP#1 started. Tested facility operation and coordination. Weak front approached Taiwan. MCS from SCS did not produce heavy rain over the island. • May 22, Dave Chen and Frank Lin arrived OCC. • May 25, John Hubbert arrived SPOL. • May 28, Jenny Sun arrived OCC and SPOL. • May 27 06Z, IOP#2 started. Upstream condition and lee vortex. • May 29 21Z, EOP started • June 1, Chris Davis, Dick Johnson, and Rita Roberts arrived. • IOP#3-6 were conducted during EOP.
Summary of SOP/IOP/EOP EOP ended and SOP resumed on 18Z June 6. The upper air research stations (Taichung, Liouguei, and Hengchuun) reduce to 2 sondes per day operation starting 00Z June 7and will resume 4 sondes per day on 00Z June 10. Summary of IOP days and Astra flight hours and dropsonde left • IOP days + EOP (9 days) = (2.75 days + 2.625 days + 9 days) = 14.375 days • Total there are 21 IOP days planned and now only 6.625 days left. • We have 10 flights and 129 soundings (with 24 failed) used and there are 9.66 hours and 75 drops left.
Data policy and future activity • Excellent work has been done by Dr. Fong on SoWMEX/TiMREX Field catalog http://sowmex.cwb.gov.tw/2008/ • Raw data retrieval needs application and will be approved by Science Team. • Priority for case selection will be coordinated by Science Team at the end of the field project.
