OROGRAPHICALLY INDUCED CONVERGENCE LINES - WEATHER EVENTS

by ZAMG


This conceptual model can be used to detect "small" showers, which do not result in large areas of heavy precipitation, but can result in localised heavy precipitation in the mountains.

Parameter Description
Precipitation
  • Showers even thunderstorms, but not normally severe ones. Still showers can locally result in heavy precipitation amounts.
Temperature
  • Temperature drop during showers
Wind (incl. gusts)
  • Gusts
