Tracking of the Oceanic Water Content Resources of the Precipitation In Dayyer Port (March 2017)

The new insights into ocean-atmosphere-land synoptic studies, have led scientists to trace attractive atmospheric and oceanic phenomena. In this study, by using synoptic maps and some precipitation indices for Iran, we estimated the type and intensity of the extreme precipitation event in Dayyer Port synoptical station (27˚51ʹ34ʺN-51˚57ʹ52ʺ, ID: 40872) for 19March 2017. In order to identify oceanic sources of the water content for this precipitation event, air parcels were traced as lagrangian single particle trajectory by a hybrid model of HYSPLIT which is run backward interactively on the web site, during 9-days by the start of maximum rainfall, locatacted at Dayyer port station. Accordingly, we plotted pattern of the average moisture transfer paths on 800-550 hPa atmospheric levels. The field climate data (including wind speed and direction, relative humidity and precipitation) with 6-hour time steps and spatial resolution of 2.5˚×2.5˚(longitude and latitude), entered into the model from the reanalysis global data archive of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction/National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP/NCAR). Consequently, by assessment of the meteorological maps and data and by using a precipitation index of R10mm, we found that this precipitation event (19th March 2017) defined as a heavy precipitation day. Finally, the simulation outputs clearly showed that the water contents of this rainfall system (19th March 2017) originates from two source locations of the north area of Indian Ocean (Arabian Sea), and also the east part of Atlantic Ocean. In addition, the results illustrated that during the occurrence of this precipitation event, an extra-tropical cyclone was active on the studied area.
