V-notch, finger-echo, weak echo region, overhang and echo-wall are observed from reflectivity products. A vertical cross section of the radial velocity is made along the direction of the low-level inflow and across the maximum reflectivity core, which displays a part of strong updraft and downdraft. Secondly, a 3-D convective storm model is used to simulate the supercell. The maximum reflectivity and the core thickness of the simulated radar echo are 75 dBz and 14km, respectively. These values are more than the counterparts that are detected by radar. The reason is that attenuation is not calculated in the model. The wind field structure is also given when the storm is the strongest. Divergence, caused by thunderstorm outflow, is in the low level. In the middle and high level, convergence is dominant, but the plume is not simulated at the top. Finally, the evolution of the simulated vertical motion is documented. The interaction between the environmental wind and the updraft, which is formed by the convergence on the ground at the beginning, makes the storm stronger. Then, downdraft occurs and grows. When it becomes dominant, the supercell collapses.展开更多

The results show that: (1) the average of HTF is 8.7 days per year in the recent 54 years in Guangzhou; high temperature occurs from May to September, and July and August have the highest frequency of occurrence; (2) there are distinct interannual and interdecadal changes in Guangzhou HTF, with an obvious increase since the 1980s; (3) the anomalous increase of mid-summer HTF in Guangzhou since the 1980s has a close relationship with the weakened westerlies in Northwest China, Mongolia, Lake Baikal and their vicinity and the intensified subtropical high in the mid-low latitude areas.展开更多
