It demonstrates that: considering nonlinear effects of interaction between waves in barotropic vorticity equation, the wave packet of the disturbance is governed by the famous equation-nonlinear Schrodinger equation. For the solitary wave, two factors are very important: one is spherical effect of the disturbance and the other is meridional shear of blocking high. In comparison with the results of local Cartesian coordinates, the former factor is the individuality of spherical soliton.展开更多

It is often observed that cumulus and stratiform clouds coexist in a rain-bearing synoptic systems and the precipitation amount associated with this system may be amplified by their interaction. With some important processes of cloud physics taken into account, we use a simple seeder-feeder model (including colloidal instability, collision effect and entrainment) to describe this process of interaction within framework of Kuo-type cumulus parameterization. It is found that the rainfall amount caused by ice crystal effect accounts for 30-40% of total rainfall, but the collision effect is not so great generally.
