Numerical Modeling of Deep Convection: Case Study of the 21 August 2007 Severe Convective System over the Masurian Lake District

The PhD dissertation entitled "Numerical Modeling of Deep Convection: Case Study of the 21 August 2007 Severe Convective System over the Masurian Lake District" and writtenby Damian K. Wójcik. The dissertation describesthe severe convective system that developed on the 21August 2007 over the Masurian Lake District (in Poland) and reconstructsthatsystem using the operational convection-permitting COSMO model. Numerical representation of the system is described and compared with the actualone. The model is capable to represent a bowing system,includinganaccurateforecast ofwind gusts magnitude. Sensitivity of the representation tothe grid refinement and application of single / double microphysical scheme is analyzed as well. &nbsp
