Synergistic Effect of the Planetary-scale Disturbance, Typhoon and Meso-β-scale Convective Vortex on the Extremely Intense Rainstorm on 20 July 2021 in Zhengzhou

On 20 July 2021,northern Henan Province in China experienced catastrophic flooding as a result of an extremely intense rainstorm,with a record-breaking hourly rainfall of 201.9 mm during 0800–0900 UTC and daily accumulated rainfall in Zhengzhou City exceeding 600 mm(“Zhengzhou 7.20 rainstorm”for short).The multi-scale dynamical and thermodynamical mechanisms for this rainstorm are investigated based on station-observed and ERA-5 reanalysis datasets.The backward trajectory tracking shows that the warm,moist air from the northwestern Pacific was mainly transported toward Henan Province by confluent southeasterlies on the northern side of a strong typhoon In-Fa(2021),with the convergent southerlies associated with a weaker typhoon Cempaka(2021)concurrently transporting moisture northward from South China Sea,supporting the rainstorm.In the upper troposphere,two equatorward-intruding potential vorticity(PV)streamers within the planetary-scale wave train were located over northern Henan Province,forming significant divergent flow aloft to induce stronger ascending motion locally.Moreover,the converged moist air was also blocked by the mountains in western Henan Province and forced to rise so that a deep meso-β-scale convective vortex(MβCV)was induced over the west of Zhengzhou City.The PV budget analyses demonstrate that the MβCV development was attributed to the positive feedback between the rainfall-related diabatic heating and high-PV under the strong upward PV advection during the Zhengzhou 7.20 rainstorm.Importantly,the MβCV was forced by upper-level larger-scale westerlies becoming eastward-sloping,which allowed the mixtures of abundant raindrops and hydrometeors to ascend slantwise and accumulate just over Zhengzhou City,resulting in the record-breaking hourly rainfall locally.

Forecast Error and Predictability for the Warm-sector and the Frontal Rainstorm in South China

In south China, warm-sector rainstorms are significantly different from the traditional frontal rainstorms due to complex mechanism, which brings great challenges to their forecast. In this study, based on ensemble forecasting, the high-resolution mesoscale numerical forecast model WRF was used to investigate the effect of initial errors on a warmsector rainstorm and a frontal rainstorm under the same circulation in south China, respectively. We analyzed the sensitivity of forecast errors to the initial errors and their evolution characteristics for the warm-sector and the frontal rainstorm. Additionally, the difference of the predictability was compared via adjusting the initial values of the GOOD member and the BAD member. Compared with the frontal rainstorm, the warm-sector rainstorm was more sensitive to initial error, which increased faster in the warm-sector. Furthermore, the magnitude of error in the warm-sector rainstorm was obviously larger than that of the frontal rainstorm, while the spatial scale of the error was smaller. Similarly, both types of the rainstorm were limited by practical predictability and inherent predictability, while the nonlinear increase characteristics occurred to be more distinct in the warm-sector rainstorm, resulting in the lower inherent predictability.The comparison between the warm-sector rainstorm and the frontal rainstorm revealed that the forecast field was closer to the real situation derived from more accurate initial errors, but only the increase rate in the frontal rainstorm was restrained evidently.

Pore Characteristic Design Method of High-strength Pervious Concrete Based on the Mechanical Properties and Rainstorm Waterlogging Resistance

High-strength pervious concrete(HSPC) with porosity ranging from 0.08% to 2.011% was prepared. The mechanical properties and rainstorm waterlogging resistance of HSPC were evaluated,and a design method of HSPC pore characteristics(porosity and pore diameter) based on the mechanical properties and rainstorm waterlogging resistance was proposed. The results showed that the reduction of effective cross-sectional area caused by artificial channels was the main factor affecting flexural strength but had limited influence on compressive strength. Compared with the concrete matrix without artificial channels,the compressive strength of HSPC with porosity of 2.011% decreased by 7.4%, while the flexural strength decreased by 48.3%. The permeability coefficient of HSPC can reach 16.35 mm/s even at low porosity(2.011%).HSPC can meet the requirements of no rainstorm waterlogging, even if exposed to 100-year rainstorms. When the mechanical properties and rainstorm waterlogging resistance are compromised, the recommended porosity ranges from 1.1% to 3.5%, and the recommended pore diameter ranges from 0.8 to 2.7 mm.

Analysis of Rainstorm Process over Henan Province of China in July 2021

Based on the data from the China National Meteorological Station and the fifth-generation reanalysis data of the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, we investigated and examined the precipitation, circulation, and dynamic conditions of the rainstorm in Henan in July 2021. The results show that: 1) This precipitation is of very heavy rainfall level, beginning on the 19th and lasting until the 21st, with a 3-hour cumulative precipitation of more than 200 mm at Zhengzhou station at 19:00 on the 20th. The major focus of this precipitation is in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, and it also radiates to Jiaozuo, Xinxiang, Kaifeng, Xuchang, Pingdingshan, Luoyang, Luohe, and other places. 2) The Western Pacific Subtropical High (WPSH), typhoons “In-Fa” and “Cempaka”, as well as the less dynamic strengthening of the Eurasian trough ridge structure, all contributed to the short-term maintenance of the favorable large-scale circulation background and water vapor conditions for this rainstorm in Henan. 3) The vertical structure of low-level convergence and high-level dispersion near Zhengzhou, together with the topographic blocking and lifting impact, produced favorable dynamic lifting conditions for this rainstorm.

Effect of Fatigue Loading on the Mechanical Properties and Resistance of High-strength Straight-hole Recycled Pervious Concrete to Rainstorm-based Waterlogging

A novel high-strength straight-hole recycled pervious concrete(HSRPC)for the secondary highway pavement was prepared in this paper.This study aimed to investigate the effect of porosity(0.126%,0.502%,and 1.13%),vehicle loading stress level(0.5 and 0.8)and service life on the resistance to rainstormbased waterlogging of HSRPC under fatigue loading.The mechanical properties of HSRPC in terms of flexural strength and dynamic elastic modulus were studied.The waterlogging resistance of HSRPC was described by surface water depth and drainage time.The microstructure of HSRPC were observed with scanning electron microscopy(SEM).Results showed that although the dynamic elastic modulus and flexural strength of HSRPC decreased with the increasing number of fatigue loading,the flexural strength of HSRPC was still greater than5 MPa after design service life of 20 years.After 2.5×10^(5)times of fatigue loading,the permeability coefficient of HSRPC with a porosity of 0.502%and 1.13%increased by 18.4%and 22.9%,respectively;while the permeability coefficient of HSRPC with 0.126%porosity dropped to 0.35 mm/s.The maximum surface water depth of HSRPC with a porosity of 0.126%,0.502%,and 1.13%were 8,5 and 4 mm,respectively.SEM results showed that fatigue loading expanded the number and width of cracks around the tiny pores in HSRPC.

Analysis on the Cause and Forecast Deviation of an Extreme Rainstorm in Changsha Urban Area

Using NCEP reanalysis data,high-altitude and ground observation data,numerical model data,satellite and radar data,formation cause and forecast deviation of an extreme rainstorm process in Changsha urban area at night on June 9,2020 were analyzed.The results showed that(1)the extreme rainstorm process developed near the surface convergence line,with strong localization,short duration and large hourly rainfall intensity.(2)Under the high temperature and high humidity environment,the low-level cold advection and the hot low-pressure system interacted,and the potential con-vective unstable energy was released,and a strong convective weather was formed.(3)The convergence of water vapor in the lower layer and the strong upward movement provided sufficient water vapor for the rainstorm.The low-centroid thunderstorm was the main reason for the extreme rainstorm.(4)The forecast deviation of the numerical model to the low-level shear line and the mesoscale convergence line was an important reason for the forecast deviation of the heavy rainfall area.

Reflection on China's Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Construction after Rainstorm and Snowstorm

On July 10,2004,Beijing was hit by the rainstorm that has not been seen for many years,which caused water accumulation in many places of the urban area,power supply interruption in many places,and traffic paralysis for nearly 5 h. On July 12,2004,the rainstorm in Shanghai lasted less than 1 h,but it caused 7 deaths,more than 20 injuries,extensive power outages and traffic paralysis. At the end of 2005,the continuous snowfall in Weihai City of Shandong Province for half a month caused direct economic losses of over 200 million yuan,and the continuous heavy snowfall had a serious impact on people’s lives. From July 17 to 23,2021,Henan Province suffered a rare extremely heavy rainstorm in history,with a direct economic loss of 120.6 billion yuan. Faced with such urban meteorological disasters and other types of urban disasters,combined with the current situation of disaster prevention and reduction in China,what will managers,decision-makers,and experts and scholars think about from them.

Analysis of a Local Rainstorm in Central Inner Mongolia

Based on conventional observation data,satellite cloud image data and new generation Doppler radar data,the local rainstorm weather situation and physical quantities in Ulanqab City from 08:00 to 20:00 on June 24,2019 were analyzed by means of synoptic methods.The results show that the local rainstorm was caused by the forward trough system and the convergence of warm and cold air,and triggered by the low-level jet and the surface convergence line.The splitting and merging of cloud clusters in satellite cloud images and strong radar echoes had a good guiding effect on short-term heavy precipitation.

城市新区极端雨洪汇流淹没特性与致灾机理调查研究——以郑州“7.20”特大暴雨(郑东新区)为例

近年来全球极端暴雨发生的可能性与不确定性提高,增加了城市遭遇特大洪涝灾害的风险。城市雨洪与河道洪水有显著差异,灾后雨洪信息快速采集与调研对认清雨洪特性与致灾机理尤显重要。本文以郑州2021年“7.20”特大暴雨为例,结合郑东新区地理与社会环境特点,采用野外调查测量、口述记录、多源数据分析、数值模拟对比相结合的方法开展了城市雨洪汇流淹没特性及致灾机理的调查研究。针对城市雨洪洪痕特征,拟定调查基本方法与适宜工作程序,根据调查区93处洪痕数据绘制了区域雨洪淹没分布图,分析了城市雨洪峰值水位分布特征及调查区汇流特性,探索了道路雨洪汇流流速及行洪道路阻力参数的确定方法。研究表明,城市雨洪地表主要泄流通道是街区道路,汇流方向受连续阻水、导水建筑与路网布局影响,雨洪淹没深度分布与下垫面条件和雨洪汇流特性有关。致灾机理研究分析表明,极端暴雨汇流远超城市排水管网泄流能力,雨洪选择阻力小的街道快速行洪,街道交汇处壅阻引起局部积水严重,这是极端暴雨致灾的直接诱因;而城市新区水系泄洪排涝关系不协调以及清障不力,导致城区河流行洪不畅,干支流异常高水位的顶托,严重降低了管网排涝功能,则是城市雨洪严重积涝致灾的深层原因。研究成果可为城市雨洪调查标准方法的建立与城市新区防洪排涝体系规划提供技术参考。

2017年8月甘肃陇南出现暴雨天气,礼县、武都气象站24 h降水量突破历史极值,极端性和局地性突出。应用欧洲中期天气预报中心(European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts,ECMWF)第5代全球大气再分析产品ERA5、雷达资料及地面加密观测资料,对2017年8月6—7日、19—20日发生在甘肃省陇南地区的2次暴雨过程进行对比分析,重点讨论2次过程的环流背景以及强降水时段雷达反射率因子、径向速度、物理量特征。结果表明,2次暴雨过程均发生在西风槽偏北气流与中低层偏南暖湿气流交汇处,但是2次过程的主要影响系统及触发条件不同;雷达回波显示8月6—7日由冷式切变线引起的暴雨系统对流性较强,反射率因子值较高、中心高度较低,降水率较大,持续时间短;19—20日暖区降水的反射率因子值较低、中心高度较高,降水率较小,持续时间较长。

陕西三次强致灾性初夏区域性暴雨动力诊断对比分析

利用常规气象观测资料和0.25°×0.25°逐小时ERA5再分析资料,对综合评价强度指数300以上的三次陕西初夏区域性暴雨过程从水汽、动力垂直结构上进行对比分析。结果表明:①强致灾性初夏区域性暴雨发生前,中高层水汽输送来自西南气流,低层来自偏东气流,低层水汽辐合发展加强,动力强迫主要表现为700 hPa以下正涡度区发展加强并向高层延伸,对应200 hPa附近出现强负涡度中心;②暴雨开始后,低层偏东水汽输送在暴雨过程中会发生变化,水汽辐合持续加强并向高层持续输送,散度场出现低层强辐合、高层辐散的结构,而关中有双重辐合-辐散特殊结构,且正涡度区继续向高层延伸、动力抬升促使上升运动延伸至400 hPa及以上;③初夏暴雨陕南动力强迫相比关中较弱,但水汽输送、水汽含量比关中好,降水效率更高、降水总量更大。

水土保持生态建设下的黄土高原典型流域水沙响应

为探讨黄土高原多沙粗沙区流域水沙关系演变特征及其对水土流失治理的响应,以黄河中游无定河流域为研究对象,综合采用水沙关系曲线、数理统计等多种方法,系统分析1956—2019年间无定河流域水沙关系多时间尺度演变特征及其与水土流失治理的协同响应。研究结果表明:1)研究时段内,无定河流域年径流及年输沙量呈锐减趋势(P<0.05),且均在1970年左右发生减少突变;2)流域水沙关系在年际和场次洪水尺度上均发生深刻变化。2010年以后,暴雨频发导致流域内侵蚀物源头供应明显增加,流域河道泥沙输送能力小幅提高;3)水土保持措施实施对流域水沙锐减影响较大。2000年前后在相似降雨条件下,单位降雨量径流量和单位降雨量输沙量较20世纪70年代减少47%和62%。水土保持措施面积增加与流域径流输沙减少呈现较好的一致性,流域水土流失治理在提高黄河多沙粗沙区流域下垫面抗侵蚀能力等方面发挥重要作用。研究结果可为科学认知区域水土流失治理成效及入黄泥沙锐减成因提供参考。

为快速、准确模拟城市暴雨内涝演化过程,提出一种排水管网与上覆地表动态水力交互方法,构建了一维管网模型(SWMM)与二维水动力(LISFLOOD-FP)双向耦合的模型,解决了一维管网和二维地表的双向流量交换和时间同步难题。以上海外高桥地区为例,采用两次短历时降雨过程对耦合模型进行校准和验证,比较分析了单向、双向耦合的淹没范围与水深变化。结果表明:双向耦合模拟精度较高,在研究区具有良好的适用性;对于占比80%以上的轻度(<0.2m)积水区,单向、双向耦合的模拟积水面积比为1.21;对于中等(0.2~0.3 m)和重度(>0.3 m)积水区,单向耦合模拟结果趋于严重,该比值分别增至1.88和2.1。所构建的双向耦合模型能够揭示城区内涝积水、扩散及消退的全过程,可用于城市暴雨内涝推演,为内涝治理和灾害防御提供科学依据。

沿江城市降雨特性及雨洪关系分析——以四川泸州市为例

沿江城市气候多变,外洪和内涝之间关系复杂,相互影响、相互制约,洪涝统筹是沿江城市面临的最主要问题。分析掌握沿江城市的暴雨、洪水特征,可提前预测不同降雨条件下河道洪水的特性及其对城区排涝的影响,对于城市防洪系统和排涝系统统筹兼顾、合理规划、洪涝预报预警,都具有重要意义。以四川泸州市为例,对暴雨时空分布特征、洪水特征规律等进行了分析探讨,以期为新形势下沿江城市防洪减灾体系建设提供参考。

[目的]探明降雨径流和水分入渗下的微塑料在坡地草坪内的迁移特征,为草坪截存微塑料估算及城市草坪选择提供依据。[方法]通过人工模拟多场暴雨,在径流小区上研究了3种坡地草坪微塑料的径流迁移和土内垂直迁移特征。[结果]绝大多数微塑料保留在草地内;微塑料迁移量随着径流的增加和消减阶段而相应变化,但径流稳定阶段微塑料迁移量呈波动式下降趋势;随着降雨场次的增加,微塑料迁移量及其波动显著降低;微塑料粒径减小其径流迁移量增大,但小于0.5 mm后微塑料迁移量无差异。微塑料向土内最大迁移深度集中在15 cm内;随着降雨场次增加,迁移深度无明显增加;迁移粒径主要是<0.25 mm的微塑料,但其10 cm以下迁移量不足0—5 cm的1%,0—5 cm土壤内微塑料在上坡位淋失,在下坡位富集。[结论]微塑料迁移与径流过程和水分入渗规律并不完全一致,且短期降雨引起的微塑料水平和垂直迁移比较少,白三叶草地微塑料的迁移量最少,黑麦草草地最多,狗牙根的水平迁移和垂直迁移量居中。

近62 a华南“龙舟水”气候特征及变化

每年端午节前后龙舟竞渡之时,是华南前汛期降水最多、最为集中的时段,容易引发严重洪涝灾害,并对早稻生产造成严重影响,称之为“龙舟水”。对华南“龙舟水”期间暴雨过程的频次和强度进行研究是当前防灾减灾的迫切需求。利用1961—2022年华南192个国家气象观测站逐日降水资料,采用EOF、线性趋势、M-K突变等方法,分析了华南“龙舟水”期间降水量的时空特征及变化;构建了一个表征华南“龙舟水”暴雨过程的综合强度指数,由此分析华南近62 a“龙舟水”期间暴雨过程频次、强度以及“龙舟水”强度年景指数的特征和变化。结果表明,华南“龙舟水”一致性变化是其最主要的特点。1961—2022年“龙舟水”期间,华南共出现229次暴雨过程,平均每年3.7次。近62 a来华南区域平均“龙舟水”降水量和暴雨过程频次变化趋势不显著,但“龙舟水”强度年景指数以1.2·(10 a)^(-1)的速率显著上升。评估得到近62 a华南“龙舟水”最强暴雨过程出现在2022年6月4—21日,华南“龙舟水”强年有4 a,分别出现在2022年、2020年、2008年和2006年。

【目的】充分认识三峡地区区域暴雨过程的气候特征及长期变化规律对于科学防汛以及合理利用水资源具有重要意义。【方法】基于三峡地区33个国家级气象观测站1961—2022年逐日降水量资料和目前重庆市气候中心业务采用的区域性暴雨过程监测指标,对三峡地区区域性暴雨过程进行客观识别,并利用多种数理统计方法分析区域性暴雨过程的气候特征和长期变化规律。【结果】结果表明:(1)三峡地区近三分之二的暴雨以区域性过程形式出现,平均每年区域性暴雨过程有8.4次,主要出现在5—9月,尤以6—7月为集中发生时段。区域性暴雨过程首次开始日期多年平均为5月8日,末次结束日期为9月17日。平均每次过程的暴雨覆盖范围为8.6站,持续时间1.3 d,平均暴雨强度为74.7 mm/d。(2)三峡地区区域性暴雨过程年频次存在2~3 a和8 a左右的变化周期,年平均区域性暴雨过程覆盖范围存在4~6 a和8~11 a周期变化。(3)近62 a三峡地区区域性暴雨过程的首次开始日期显著提前,末次结束日期无明显变化,发生期显著变长;发生频次没有明显变化趋势、平均持续时间、平均覆盖范围、平均综合强度也均没有明显变化趋势,但平均暴雨强度呈增强趋势。(4)近62 a,三峡地区区域性暴雨过程的各项指标均未发生突变现象。【结论】研究成果为三峡地区防汛减灾、水资源管理以及回应三峡工程对局地气候影响的社会关切等提供科学支撑。

吕梁山两次夜间暴雨的边界层特征及能量来源与转换

利用常规观测、NCEP/NCAR 1°×1°再分析、FY-2E卫星数据等资料,对分别由β-中尺度持续拉长状对流系统(MβECS)和中尺度对流复合体(MCC)造成的两次吕梁山夜间暴雨过程进行数值模拟和粒子后向轨迹追踪,结果表明:过程1受边界层南风急流和西南气流影响,山西西部低空急流偏西分量和晋中盆地边界层西南气流的增强是对流不稳定能量重建的重要因子。过程2则受边界层南风和东风急流作用,南风急流被显著抬升到对流层中高层,形成含有冰晶层的中高层云系,东风急流则供应低空水汽。两次过程边界层(0.8-1.2 km)粒子携带的水汽均明显超过低层(1.5-3 km),是夜间短时强降水所需水汽的最大贡献者。700 hPa及以上非绝热作用产生扰动有效位能,之后向扰动动能的转化是两次过程中短时强降水发生所需能量的主要来源。

下沉式地铁车辆基地防洪排涝设计标准研究

[目的]下沉式地铁车辆基地是一种特殊空间利用形式的车辆基地,在防洪排涝方面存在较大风险,但国内现有相关规范和标准中尚无针对这方面的规定。因此,需对下沉式车辆基地防洪排涝设计能力进行深入研究,明确规范和标准中的相关内容,为此类项目建设提供设计依据。[方法]以宁波地铁5号线前殷停车场工程为例,分析了现有规范和标准中有关防洪和排水的设计要求,分析了下沉车辆基地的防洪涝设计方案,分别按50年和100年暴雨重现期对下沉基坑内不同区域防洪涝设计方案进行了对比分析。[结果及结论]下沉式车辆基地应采用“可靠的防、排内涝水措施”来满足防洪排涝的基本要求。在防洪涝方面,下沉式车辆基地防洪墙顶高程和出入口路面高程应高于百年洪水位+安全高,同时防洪墙与周边地面的高差应高于100年暴雨重现期下的所在地块内涝水位。在排涝方面,下沉基坑内的盖体屋面区域排水宜遵循“高水高排”的原则,按100年暴雨重现期设计屋面排水能力,通过重力流方式直排至基坑外;坑内敞开区域采用抽排方式,按100年暴雨重现期设计雨水泵站的总排水能力。

某工程泄水建筑物泄洪雾化范围计算分析

为了减少泄洪雾化带来的工程影响和损失,笔者结合工程实例,根据理论公式对表孔溢洪洞、泄洪冲沙洞在不同水位下的雾化范围进行估算,并依据估算结果提出针对性工程设计建议。结果表明:表孔溢洪洞在校核洪水位下雾化影响范围最大;该工程的厂区虽位于强暴雨区横向影响范围以外,但处于雾流降雨区范围之内,设计时需考虑雾化对厂区电气设备带来的不利影响;出口边坡局部位于强暴雨区和雾流降雨区范围内,需对边坡进行加固处理并采取表面防护措施,确保边坡运行安全稳定。计算成果可为工程布置、设计提供理论支撑。
