The spatio-temporal distribution of mesoscale convective complexes over the Southeastern Western Siberia

The temporal variability of mesoscale convective complexes (MCCs) formed over southern Western Siberia for the period 2010-2019 has been assessed. During the period of study a total of 279 cases of MCCs were recorded, and two centers having the highest occurrence of MCC were identified. The first repeatability maximum is observed over the northwestern slopes of the Altai Mountains, the Salair Range and the Baraba Lowland, and the second is located over the southern Omsk Region. It was found that higher MCC repeatability over the northwestern Altai Mountains is represented by the air mass genetic type, whereas the MCCs, occurring over the Salair ridge and the Baraba lowland, are related to the frontal type. When evaluating the characteristics of the MCC, it was revealed that the areas of the air mass MCCs are smaller than for the frontal ones, but their cloud top height and the cloud effective radius is higher than for the frontal ones.
