Analysis of Short-term Heavy Precipitations in a Regional Heavy Rainstorm in Shannxi Province

区域性大暴雨中的短时强降水成因分析(英文)

[Objective] This study aimed to analyze the cause of the generation of short-term heavy precipitations in a regional heavy rainstorm in Shannxi Province. [Method] Taking a heavy rainstorm covering most parts of Shaanxi Province in late July 2010 as an example, data of five Doppler weather radars in Shaanxi Province were employed for a detailed analysis of the evolution of the heavy rainstorm pro- cess. [Result] Besides the good large-scale weather background conditions, the de- velopment and evolution of some mesoscale and small-scale weather systems direct- ly led to short-term heavy precipitations during the heavy rainstorm process, involv- ing the intrusion of moderate IS-scale weak cold air and presence of small-scale wind shear, convergence and adverse wind area. In addition, small-scale convection echoes were arranged in lines and formed a ＂train effect＂, which would also con- tribute to the generation of short-term heavy precipitation. [Conclusion] This study provided basic information for more clear and in-depth analysis of the formation mechanism of short-term heavy precipitations.

[目的]分析区域性大暴雨中短时强降水的成因。[方法]以2010年7月下旬陕西省境内出现的一次覆盖全省大部分地区的大暴雨天气过程为例,利用陕西省5部多普勒天气雷达观测数据,对这次天气过程的演变进行细致分析。[结果]除了有良好的大尺度天气背景条件外,该次降水过程中的一些中小尺度天气系统的发展演变直接导致了暴雨过程中的短时强降水,主要有中β尺度的弱冷空气侵入、小尺度的风向切变、辐合以及逆风区的存在等,另外,小尺度的对流回波排列成带状形成"列车效应"也会对短时强降水产生做出有力贡献。[结论]该研究为更清晰、深入剖析短时强降水的生成机理提供了基础资料。
