Abstract:The tracing observation of hail clouds around the Changjiang River and Huaihe Valley was conducted by using CINRAD/CC radar at Maanshan. The atmosphere stability and convection available potential energy (CAPE) of the hail clouds are analyzed by means of CINRAD/CC data and the atmosphere stratification thermodynamic structure data. The results indicate that in the hail event there existed inflow gap and threebody scatter spike (TBSS) on the PPI, strong echo pendency and limitary weak echo region (WER) on the vertical crosssection. The analysis of meteorological data such as storm tracking information (STI), vertical integrated liquid(VIL), and mesocyclones verifys that the maximum diameter of the hailstones is about 50 mm.
