| Abstract | The Neckar Valley and the Swabian Jura in southwest Germany comprise a
hotspot for severe convective storms, causing tens of millions of euros
in damage each year. Possible reasons for the high frequency of
thunderstorms and the associated event chain across compartments were
investigated in detail during the hydro-meteorological field campaign
Swabian MOSES carried out between May and September 2021. Researchers
from various disciplines established more than 25 temporary ground-based
stations equipped with state-of-the-art in situ and remote sensing
observation systems, such as lidars, dual-polarization X- and C-band
Doppler weather radars, radiosondes including stratospheric balloons, an
aerosol cloud chamber, masts to measure vertical fluxes, autosamplers
for water probes in rivers, and networks of disdrometers, soil moisture,
and hail sensors. These fixed-site observations were supplemented by
mobile observation systems, such as a research aircraft with scanning
Doppler lidar, a cosmic ray neutron sensing rover, and a storm chasing
team launching swarmsondes in the vicinity of hailstorms. Seven Intensive Observation Periods (IOPs) were conducted on a total of 21 operating days. An exceptionally high number of convective events, including both unorganized and organized thunderstorms such as multicells or supercells, occurred during the study period. This paper gives an overview of the Swabian MOSES field campaign, briefly describes the observation strategy, and presents observational highlights for two IOPs. |
