Machine learning models for daily rainfall forecasting in Northern Tropical Africa using tropical wave predictors
Athul Rasheeda Satheesh, Peter Knippertz, Andreas H. Fink
Numerical weather prediction (NWP) models often underperform compared to simpler climatology-based precipitation forecasts in northern tropical Africa, even after statistical postp…
Physics-based vs. data-driven 24-hour probabilistic forecasts of precipitation for northern tropical Africa
Eva-Maria Walz, Peter Knippertz, Andreas H. Fink +2
Numerical weather prediction (NWP) models struggle to skillfully predict tropical precipitation occurrence and amount, calling for alternative approaches. For instance, it has been…
Assessing the predictability of Medicanes in ECMWF ensemble forecasts using an object-based approach
Enrico Di Muzio, Michael Riemer, Andreas H. Fink +1
The predictability of eight southern European tropical-like cyclones, seven of which Medicanes, is studied evaluating ECMWF operational ensemble forecasts against operational analy…
Tropical transition of Hurricane Chris (2012) over the North Atlantic Ocean: A multi-scale investigation of predictability
Michael Maier-Gerber, Michael Riemer, Andreas H. Fink +3
Tropical cyclones that evolve from a non-tropical origin may pose a special challenge for predictions, as they often emerge at the end of a multi-scale cascade of atmospheric proce…
A systematic comparison of tropical waves over northern Africa. Part I: Influence on rainfall
Andreas Schlueter, Andreas H. Fink, Peter Knippertz +1
Low-latitude rainfall variability on the daily to intraseasonal timescale is often related to tropical waves, including convectively coupled equatorial waves, the Madden-Julian Osc…
A systematic comparison of tropical waves over northern Africa. Part II: Dynamics and thermodynamics
Andreas Schlueter, Andreas H. Fink, Peter Knippertz
This study presents the first systematic comparison of the (thermo-)dynamics associated with all major tropical wave types causing rainfall modulation over northern tropical Africa…
