Abstract | The South American Low Level Jet Experiment took place during austral summer 2002-2003 and provided unique data sets to evaluate the veracity of models to represent atmospheric motions in the vicinity of the central Andes. The experiment focused on the wind maximum east of the Andes (SALLJ, South American Low Level Jet) and its role to transport moisture that feeds meso-scale convective systems over the La Plata basin. Such systems, as well as the SALLJ, exhibited a pronounced diurnal oscillation during SALLJEX, with maximum values at night. Special radiosonde observations were collected during this experiment at 06 and 18Z, when the diurnal cycle displays maximum amplitude. Such observations were not incorporated in the operational analyses and thus provide a unique data set to test the ability of models to reproduce the amplitude of diurnal oscillations in this region. In particular, the ETA model is yet lacking a comprehensive evaluation of its biases in this region of highly variable and steep orography. At the University of Maryland, Collini and Berbery integrated and archived model ETA model runs at 80 and 22km resolution, eight times a day, over two regions of different extent, in real time. These runs, when compared against radiosonde measurements of winds, moisture and temperature profiles, allow to identify model biases related to resolution, boundary conditions, and model description of the diurnal cycle. The presentation explores the ability of the model to regionally downscale large scale features and its potential use for regional climate assessments based on its performance over this particular season of enhanced observations. Preliminary results indicate that benefits of the higher resolution to describe the three-dimensional structure of the SALLJ are only apparent close to the Andes, with runs at both resolutions underestimating the amplitude of the diurnal cycle at low levels. Furthermore, the ETA runs are compared to identify dependence of representation of the diurnal cycle on resolution. |
