Abstract
Twelve Hector events, a storm which develops in northern Australia, are
analyzed with the aim of identifying the main meteorological parameters
involved in the storm's convective development. Based on Crook's ideal study
(Crook, 2001), wind speed and direction, wind shear, water vapor, convective
available potential energy and type of convection are the parameters used for
this analysis. Both the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts
(ECMWF) analysis and high-resolution simulations from the Fifth-Generation
Mesoscale Model (MM5) are used. The MM5 simulations are used to connect the
mean vertical velocity to the total condensate at the maximum stage and to
study the dynamics of the storms. The ECMWF analyses are used to evaluate the initial conditions and the
environmental fields contributing to Hector's development. The analysis
suggests that the strength of convection, defined in terms of vertical
velocity, largely contributes to the vertical distribution of hydrometeors.
The role of total condensate and mean lifting versus low-level moisture,
convective available potential energy, surface wind and direction is analyzed
for shear and no-shear conditions to evaluate the differences between type A
and B for real events. Results confirm the tendency suggested by Crook's
analysis. However, Crook's hypothesis of low-level moisture as the only
parameter that differentiates between type A and B can only be applied if the
events develop in the same meteorological conditions. Crook's tests also
helped to assess how the meteorological parameters contribute to Hector's
development in terms of percentage.
