| description | In the period between 16 and 22 June 2013, Europe was hit by a heat wave. At
the end of the period characterized by extremely high temperatures, the
development of storm along with supercell HP convection cell took place in
Serbia, producing tennis ball-sized hailstones and wind with speed exceeding
35 m/s. This paper analyzes the underlying conditions that led to development
of this storm using synoptic charts, vertical atmosphere characteristics as
well satellite and radar images. The development of strong convective clouds
was enabled by exceptional thermal instability of the atmosphere above the
Pannonian Plain and the Balkans and warm subtropical air. The analysis of the
vertical structure of atmosphere indicates that the separate convective cells
could produce large amounts of precipitation and hailstones up to 8 cm in
diameter. Cloudy zone, of the supercell type in development, of 12-16 km
width, reached to 20 km height (cloud penetrated tropopause) and indicating
extremely great energy instability. Furthermore, this analysis is
supplemented with results of nonhydrostatic mesoscale NMM model. Big
hailstones from this storm took life of 31 persons in addition to great
material damage it caused. |
