Estimation Of The Characteristics Of Mesoscale Convective Complexes Over The South Of Western Siberia Based On Modis Data

Estimations of the morphological and microphysical characteristics of mesoscale convective complexes (MCC) in the south of Western Siberia for 2010-2019 years received. It was noted that the MCC lengths along latitude and longitude are on average similar to 140 and 120 km, and typical ranges of their change (limited by the 25th and 75th percentiles) are 120 divided by 160 km and 100 divided by 130 km, respectively. The MCC upper boundary height is on average 12 km and generally changes in the range from 9 to 13 km. The MCC cloud particles effective radius is on average 27 microns and typical range of his change are 25 divided by 29 microns. The integral water content of MCC clouds is on average 1,2 kg/m(2), and most often varies in the range from 0,8 to 2,1 kg/m(2).
