Abstract

Mesoscale Convective Complex (MCC) was first introduced in 1980 through research on infrared (IR) satellite images by Maddox. The MCC phenomenon can caused rain with a long period of time. This study aims to determine the atmospheric conditions when MCC occurred in East Kalimantan and surroundings area on December 26, 2021. The research data used in this study is Himawari-8 satellite data to display cloud top temperatures and convective cloud distribution using the CCO method and image interpretation using RGB method. Analysis of atmospheric conditions was also carried out on air humidity, vertical velocity, and reflectivity in the atmosphere obtained from weather radar data from the Stasiun Meteorologi Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman - Sepinggan. Based on the results of the analysis, MCC was identified as a mature phase on December 26, 2021 at 12.00 UTC. Airmass RGB analysis shows the presence of clouds which are known as Cb clouds through CCO analysis as well as warm air masses with high humidity in East Kalimantan. Negative value of vertical velocity also indicates an updraft of moist air masses and the maximum reflectivity value of the CMAX product, which is 53 dBz, indicates strong convection activity.

Abstract

On August 22 2020, hail was reported in Sekadau, West Kalimantan at 21:23 WIB. The phenomenon of hail does not usually occur at night. So, further research is needed to find out how the cloud growth phase and Cumulonimbus (Cb) cloud structure are in this phenomenon. This research utilizes remote sensing instruments in the form of a C-Band type weather radar for the Supadio Meteorological Station and the Himawari 8 Satellite, as well as a radiosonde instrument that is closest to the time and location of the hail events. The results of satellite imagery show that nocturnal hail occurs before the clouds reach the mature phase, with the cloud top temperature at the time of hail less than -60 ºC. The maximum reflectivity detected by the radar using CMAX products shows a less significant value with an intensity of up to 52 dBZ. The VCUT product shows the maximum intensity altitude is at an altitude of 5 – 8 km. This shows that there is a process of ice condensation on the freezing level layer. The ZHAIL product image shows that there is a potential for hail in the Sekadau area with a probability of more than 80%. The occurrence of ice rain at Sekadau at night is caused by the presence of Cumulonimbus clouds with very cold peak temperatures and the mixing process above the freezing level which supports the formation of ice condensation in Cb clouds.
