Abstract:

Abstract:Based on the grid data of NCEP/NCAR and precipitation data of 97 stations in South China, the precipitation characteristics, circulation situation and dynamic factors of the first heavy rainfall in the pre-rainy season in South China in 2014 and 2015 were analyzed. The results show that the two precipitation processes were both connected with the low trough on the east side of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau moving eastward and deepening over South China. The vorticity equation diagnosis showed that increase of cyclonic vorticity at low-level and anticyclone vorticity at high-level, were mainly connected with the horizontal divergence term (C), while vertical motion within the precipitation system, was mainly connected with the increase of the horizontal advection term (A) with height. The precipitation system tended to move towards areas where the horizontal divergence term C was negative at higher level and positive at lower level or where the horizontal advection term A was positive at higher level and negative at lower level. Difference in layer thickness and intensity of vapor convergence led to difference in rainfall intensity of the two precipitation processes. Finally, for the two strong precipitation processes, moving eastward and deepening of low trough on the east side of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau caused by power factor were the common feature, which could be used as reference in weather-forecasting practice.

Key words: the pre-rainy season, the first heavy rainfall, vorticity equation, low trough, horizontal divergence term, horizontal advection term

摘要:

利用NCEP/NCAR格点资料和华南地区97个气象站的日降水资料,分析2014和2015年华南前汛期首场强降水的降水特征、环流形势和动力因子。结果表明,两场降水过程都与青藏高原东侧低槽东移在华南发展加深有关。涡度方程诊断表明,低层气旋性涡度增加和高层反气旋性涡度增加,主要与水平辐散项(C)有关,系统内部的垂直上升运动,则主要与水平平流项(A)随高度增加有关;C上负下正和A上正下负的结构有利于降水系统向其所在区域移动并发展;两次过程水汽辐合层的厚度和强度的差异,决定了降水强度的差异。两次强降水过程,动力因子引起青藏高原东侧低槽东移发展加深造成强降水是其共同特征。
