Abstract:
By using the analyzed and 6-hour prediction data provided by the T213 model, the causes of a heavy rain and the energy and moisture conditions were analyzed. The dynamic trigger mechanism was studied through analyzing the features of helicity and Q* vectors. The result shows that the heavy rain was influenced mainly by the low vortex at 850 hPa and the surface cyclone; the convergence and ascending motion in the center of the vortex and north of the cyclone center triggered convective instability energy release, resulting in the heavy rain. The low-level Southwest Jet provided sufficient moisture and instability energy. The strong positive helicity and the intensive convergence of Q* vectors at the low level in the raining area indicate that there was superposition of mesoscale and synoptic-scale ascending motions. Differing from summer heavy rains, the systems in the westerly belt played a dominant role in spring heavy rain formation, but the subtropical systems are weaker and cool and warm air motions were very active before and after the heavy rain.
