摘要
On March 17, 2022, a city-wide snowfall occurred in Beijing, China, with significant snowfall in Northwest China and other places. By using the surface meteorological observation data and NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data, we carried out a case study of a snowfall event in Beijing from March 17 to 18, 2022. Results show that this process had the characteristics of a wide range of influence and a large range of cooling. The temperature in the north of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River changed from an obvious high to low in the previous period, and the rain and snow in northern China were obvious. The snowfall in Beijing is the result of the combined influence of warm and humid air and cold air. The warm and humid air flow from the Indo-China Peninsula all the way to the north brought abundant water vapor and unstable energy. The southward cold air and warm and humid air met and collided in the central and eastern part of China, and brought about precipitation under the combined action of atmospheric instability energy and other factors. The temperature in Beijing dropped significantly, but it still has not reached the standard of “cold spring” in the meteorological sense.
