Calculation of dynamic and thermodynamic parameters from spatial data of high spatial resolution of a weather event’s specific case study event that occurred on the 16th and 17th of July 2017

Abstract

The intense weather conditions that occurred on July 16 and 17, 2017 were the reason for further analysis and study of this event. In order for the results to have a higher confidence level, discrete spatial discrepancy data on a normal 0.125 X 0.125 grid, which are available from the European Center Meteorological Weather Forecasting (ECMWF), at the Hellenic National Meteorological Service (HNMS) were used. Thermodynamic parameters such as potential vortiticity, potential temperature, sensible and latent heat fluxes and static stability were calculated. Finally, all of the above were determined by the real picture of the weather and Eumetsat’s satellite imagery.
