Insights into Summer 2017 Climate Variations and Heatwave Events

Climate research using climate reconstructions and model simulations for summer 2017, focusing on heatwave periods and temperature anomalies. Observations from instrumented sites and atmospheric soundings were utilized to analyze air temperature, soil moisture, and radiation. The study highlights the ability of the LMDZOR model to capture heatwave intensity while noting a warm bias in simulations compared to observations. The simulations, nudged with ECMWF analysis, provide near real-time monitoring over France, aiding in understanding climate variations and extreme events.

6. Part 1: Summer representation

7. Air Temperature (2 m) (SIRTA and TOULOUSE) LMDZOR simulates the observed heat wave (intensity and duration) But a warm bias is present SIRTA Toulouse OBS V6010v3

8. Air Temperature (0-60 m) SIRTA mast DAY NIGHT Warm bias and less gradient at lower layer Night-time, too warm and not enough decoupling at surface Day-time, too much mixing at the lower layer Sample standard deviation Observation at surface, 2m, 5m, 10m, 20m and 30m AGT

9. Soil Moisture and Soil Temperature (SIRTA ) Lower soil moisture than the OBS at upper depths Warm bias at the upper layers, it is consistent with the warm bias at atmosphere JJA AVE 00Z Soil Moisture Soil Temperature Sechiba SIRTA Observation SIRTA Sample standard deviation

10. Soil Moisture and Soil Temperature (Toulouse) Lower soil moisture than the OBS around 10cm depths, and moister at other depths Warm bias above 1m depth, it is also consistent with the warm bias at atmosphere (2m) Soil Moisture Soil Temperature Sechiba Observation Sample standard deviation

11. Soil moisture Lower soil moisture than the observations at SIRTA for 10 cm, 30 cm and 50 cm depths At SIRTA, LMDZ and OBS time series are well correlated at 10 cm and 20 cm Soil moisture at Toulouse close to the wilting point (0.1 m3/ m3) in model 10 cm 30 cm 20 cm 50 cm

12. Relative Humidity (2 m) SIRTA Lower relative humidity than the observations at SIRTA for the heatwave period (daytime)

13. Sensible heat flux Latent heat flux SIRTA Preliminary new processing (ACTRIS) Strongly over-estimate the sensible heat flux. Under-estimated the latent heat flux in most cases.

14. Sensible heat flux Latent heat flux Toulouse Preliminary new processing (ACTRIS) Strongly over-estimated the sensible heat flux; Under-estimated the latent heat flux, and less evaporation for soil in model.

15. Short wave radiation (SIRTA) Lower albedo in model with less variability. Higher downward radiation in most cases. Albedo Downward

16. Short wave radiation (Toulouse) Higher albedo in model with less variability. Higher downward radiation in most cases. Albedo Downward

17. Part 2: Heatwave period representation

18. 12Z 00Z Mega-heatwave of 2003 Model: CM6012 Pre_HW Nudging method improved the heatwave simulation very well. Cold bias for the heatwave period. HW Two representation days were selected.

19. 12Z 00Z Mega-heatwave of 2010 Model: CM6012 Pre_HW Nudging method improved the heatwave simulation very well, especially for the atmospheric boundary layer. HW Two representation days were selected.

20. Air Temperature (0-60 m) SIRTA Not enough gradient at lower layer (below 10m) Warm bias for LMDZOR outputs, except the surface temperature at day-time Heatwave 2017 Summer average 00Z 12Z Observation Black: Pre_HW. Red: HW LMDZOR

21. Summary The model (V6010v3) can simulate the heatwave in 2017 (intensity and duration), and nudging method in the new version (V6012) improved the heatwave simulation (2003, 2010) very well. There are warm bias for summer and heatwave period. Drying of the soil moisture is well phased with observation, and stronger where the heatwave is more intensity. Model outputs yielded higher potential temperature, and haven t enough gradient for air temperature at lower layer. Model strongly over-estimated the sensible heat flux and under-estimated the latent heat flux.
