AMMA DRY-RUN22 August – 2 September 2005
Comments from J-Ph Lafore (CNRM) and an example validation for 26/08/2005
![Page 2: AMMA DRY-RUN 22 August – 2 September 2005 Comments from J-Ph Lafore (CNRM) and an example validation for 26/08/2005](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d3e5503460f94a178ad/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Cases: an active period!
• Weak convective days– 24, 27, 30 August
• Long-lived MCS events– 27-30 August; – 30 August – 3 Sept;– 2 Sept. – 5 Sept
• Convection to N of Mali in 3 cases

General impressions
• Models struggle with convection even at 24 hours (no surprise)
• Generally harder to predict suppressed convection
• LAM not necessarily better at convective prediction than Global (but better structure)
• Active hurricanes downstream!!
