Synoptic-Thermodynamic Analysis of Pervasive Hailstorm Case Study: Tehran, March 30, 2015

Abstract

The objective here is to assess the atmospheric evaluations with respect to the perilous hailstorm phenomenon in Tehran. To accomplish this study, the available data regarding 9 (WW) present weather codes that reveal the hailstorm phenomenon with different intensities in 3 hrs observations for 6 meteorological stations of Tehran and vicinity for the period between 1985-2015 are applied. It is revealed that hail occurrence in Tehran is at its maximum in transition seasons of spring and fall between the hrs. 6 -18 (UTC). It is found that the instability indexes intensify in the afternoon with a higher atmospheric flotation indicative of the possibility in occurrence of thunder hailstorm. Synoptic assessments point to the fact that the synoptic pattern created this thunder storm due to expansion of two: low-pressure cores over Arabia and North-Europe and the cold high-pressure over South Russia with a NS orientation have developed an intense pressure gradient over Tehran province. The study area being located at the left exit of sub-tropical jet stream has made a Baroclinic atmosphere condition on Tehran province. Access to great humidity resources of Mediterranean and Black seas and a drastic decrease of temperature at the upper level of the cloud verifies the hail occurrence on March 30 th of 2015 in Tehran.

Case Study on a Snowfall Event in Beijing from March 17 to 18, 2022

“…Correctly judging the changes of the future weather situation, it is possible to make a correct forecast for the weather changes or a weather process in a certain area in the future. This is the basic idea and process of the weather map forecasting method (Ahmadi et al, 2017;Wang et al, 2017). X. Zhang, G. W. Shang maximum precipitation in Longqing Gorge, Yanqing District, was 10.6 mm, reaching the magnitude of blizzard.…”

Analysis of a Large-Scale Heavy Precipitation Weather Process in Northern China from September 17 to 20, 2021

“…In this study, synoptic and diagnostic analysis methods (Ahmadi et al, 2017;Luiz Silva et al, 2015;Agbazo et al, 2021) are used to analyze the weather situation, such as pressure field analysis method, water vapor flux analysis method and so on. According to the distribution characteristics of meteorological element fields on the weather map, analyze and summarize the weather situation and the reasons for this large-scale weather process.…”
