Analyzing Thermodynamic Condition of Different Atmospheric Hazards that Affect Lives and Livelihoods of the People in Bangladesh
摘要
This research aims to enhance our understanding of atmospheric thermodynamics in severe convection. In this research total 11 cases of lightning, thunderstorm, and hailstorm have been studied. For lightning events, the atmosphere undergoes significant changes before and during the occurrences. The temperature profile from the Skew-T diagram illustrates this. Notable variations are seen in the dewpoint temperature for each event. Additionally, the Level of Free Convection (LFC) shifts before and during lightning events. In contrast, the thermodynamics of the atmosphere show fewer changes in thunderstorm cases. Therefore, instability indices have been used to analyze these cases in this research. The distribution of Convective Available Potential Energy (CAPE) values across all events demonstrates that a comprehensive assessment of temperature dynamics is essential for detecting thunderstorm occurrences. The hailstorm events provided a significant opportunity to examine the atmospheric thermodynamic conditions. Prior to these storms, the atmosphere was highly turbulent, and the thermal changes occurred rapidly during the hail events. As a result, the vorticity conditions were notably chaotic during these storms. The primary goal of this study is to provide valuable insights that could enhance forecasting methods. The results offer crucial details that can refine the prediction of convective events, which frequently affect lives and livelihoods in the country.
