Resumo
Foi realizada uma análise para se obter a caracterização das tempestades sob o aspecto climatológico para a área central do Estado de São Paulo cujos parâmetros foram obtidos com o software TITAN, desenvolvido no NCAR e implementado nos computadores do IPMet. Os parâmetros que caracterizam as propriedades das tempestades tais como volume médio, área média, altura dos topos dos ecos, refletividade máxima e média bem como velocidade e deslocamento dos sistemas precipitantes foram determinados considerando o limiar de refletividade>30 dBZ, e volume>30 km3. A distribuição espacial de parâmetros tais como volume médio, área média, refletividade média e máxima mostrou, pela primeira vez para a área central do Estado de São Paulo, como os mesmos se distribuíram pela área monitorada pelo radar de Bauru e também a existência de regiões preferenciais onde se concentra a maior atividade convectiva, durante os verões analisados. Todas as varreduras observadas pelo radar de Bauru foram também processadas para se determinar as áreas de tempestades definidas pelo limiar de refletividade maior que 25 dBZ, para a partir daí obter a integração dessas áreas para o tempo de duração de cada tempestade e calcular a IAT, que é a integral área-tempo. O método da Integral-Área-Tempo (IAT), para se medir precipitação volumétrica baseada na informação de cobertura da precipitação em área foi aplicado aos dados de radar meteorológico de Bauru, para dois períodos de verão, o de 1998-1999 e 1999-2000. A premissa de que a porção crescente do conglomerado convectivo seria suficiente para calcular uma IAT que ainda seria altamente correlacionada com o volume total de chuva resultando, portanto numa técnica para o nowcasting é testada e verificada para os dois períodos analisados. Os resultados das análises mostraram que as células de tempestade...
A climatological characterization of storm properties during two summer seasons, viz. 1998-1999 and 1999-2000, based on observations from the Bauru S-band Doppler radar, was obtained with the TITAN Software of NCAR, implemented at IPMet. Parameters, such as mean volume, mean area, mean and maximum echo tops, mean and maximum reflectivity, as well as speed and direction of precipitating systems were determined using the reflectivity> 30 dBZ and a volume> 30 km3 as a threshold for storm identification. The spatial distribution for parameters such as mean volume, mean area, mean and maximum reflectivity, mean and maximum echo top, etc, were determined for the first time in the central State of São Paulo, based on radar data information. It has shown some preferential areas where most of the convective activity was concentrated during the study period. The Area Time-Integration (ATI) method was then applied to these observations using the 25 dBZ thresholds, to determine the rainfall volume in the central area of the State of São Paulo, taking into account the entire lifetime of all observed storms that exceeded the threshold considered. Furthermore, it was also investigated, if it would be possible to estimate the ATIs only for the growth period of a convective storm and still obtain a good correlation. This method could then be applied to obtain the total rain volume of a convective system at the stage of its maximum development, which could be considered as a nowcasting tool to be explored in subsequent studies. The time span for the storms reaching their maximum area was found to be about 2 hours on average and this was reached within...(Complete abstract, click electronic access below)
