Based on conventional observation data,NCEP reanalysis data,satellite images and radar mosaic products,and combined with WRF mesoscale simulation,the severe convective weather which occurred in the south of Shanxi on 22 May,2013 was analyzed. The results show that during this weather process,lasting transport of positive vorticity advection over Hetao area played a significant role in formation,maintenance and development of the cut - off vortex on 500 hPa level. Both the low - level cold advection from the front and more stronger warm advection from the back made the vortex develop continually,and excited isolated cloud clusters nearby. The vertical structure with high - level divergence and low - level convergence above the cloud clusters made the upward motion strengthen continuously. Consequently,the isolated cloud clusters maintained and developed. These meso - and meso - scale clusters were the direct cause leading to this severe convective weather. The dry frontogenesis caused by surface continuous strengthening of water vapor from the sea at the back of high pressure system and the invading of dry air at the front of ridge,was an important triggering mechanism of the strong convective weather. From the radar mosaic products of composite reflectivity,this process resulted from the development and merging of convective cells. The evolution of these cells went through a process from convective cell,merging,ribbon echo,bow echo to weakening and vanishing ,and the whole process was divided into two stages,when the area,intensity and moving speed of echoes were different,the characteristics of convective weather were different too. Obvious differences among three types during this process existed in temperature and humidity profiles and environmental parameters,which could be served as judging the severe convective weathers.
As a major driving factor of environment change,characteristic analysis of climate change is very important for environment detection. In this paper,by taking the Ejin delta in the lower reaches of the Heihe River as the research area,on the basis of temperature and precipitation data during 1960 - 2012 from Ejin meteorological station,the characteristic of climate change over the past 53 years was analyzed firstly by using the methods of Mann - Kendall test,regression analysis and accumulative anomaly,and then Mann - Kendall test and R/S analysis were used to predict the future climate change trend. The results were as followed:The temperature in the Ejin delta increased and precipitation appeared non - remarkable trend over the past 53 years. There were remarkable differences in different decades, the temperature increased most from the 1980s to the 1990s,while precipitation appeared fluctuating change with less - more - less. A dryer and warmer climate trend would be obvious in the 21st century,and the warm winter phenomenon would be significant. Combining the data of GIMMS - NDVI,the East Juyan Lake area and runoff at the Zhengyi gauge station,through the Pearson correlation analysis, we concluded that warm and dry climate trend and the runoff reduction of the Heihe River led to shrink and salinization of the West and East Juyan Lakes,and the vegetation degradation. While the increase of the East Juyan Lake area from 2003 was the result of ecological conveyance water project in 2002,rather than the warming - wetting trend of climate.
