2021-5-31 · The warm conveyor belt is usually in front of, but separated from, the cloud band of the Cold Front. In the IR and WV images the grey shades of the Warm Conveyor Belt cloud band vary from grey to white. The fibrous texture dominates here but there may be bigger areas of smooth high-level cirrus clouds.

Why warm conveyor belts matter in NWP | ECMWF

A warm conveyor belt (WCB) is a coherent warm and moist airstream, which originates in the boundary layer of an extratropical cyclone’s warm sector. Air within the WCB ascends in a day or two to the upper troposphere while moving poleward. WCBs are the primary cloud- and precipitation-generating flow in extratropical cyclones, and they can be associated with extreme

The cold conveyor belt (CCB) splits into two branches; an anticyclonic branch, which ascends ahead of the surface warm front from the ABL into the middle troposphere and a cyclonic branch, which remains in the lower troposphere (Schultz 2001).

Abstract. Warm conveyor belts (WCBs) are important cyclone-related airstreams that are responsible for most of the cloud and precipitation formation in the extratropics. They can also substantially influence the dynamics of cyclones and the upper-level flow. So far, most of the knowledge about WCBs is based on model data from analyses, reanalyses and forecast data

Warm Conveyor Belts in the ERA-Interim Dataset

2014-1-1 · Abstract The role of moisture for extratropical atmospheric dynamics is particularly pronounced within warm conveyor belts (WCBs), which are characterized by intense latent heat release and precipitation formation. Based on the WCB climatology for the period 1979–2010 presented in Part I, two important aspects of the WCB moisture cycle are investigated: the

Warm conveyor belt (WCB) outflows often inject low-PV air into ridges, and the representation of WCBs is seen as a source of uncertainty for downstream forecasts. Recent studies have highlighted the presence of mesoscale structures with negative PV in WCBs, the impact of which, on large-scale dynamics, is still debated.
