An Extreme Monsoonal Heavy Rainfall Event over Inland South China in June 2023: A Synoptic Causes Analysis

An extreme monsoonal heavy rainfall event lasted for nine days and recurred in the interior of northern south China from June 13 to 21, 2022. Using regional meteorological stations and ERA5 reanalysis data, the causes of this extreme monsoonal rainfall event in south China were analyzed and diagnosed. The results are shown as follows. A dominant South Asian high tended to be stable near the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, providing favorable upper-level dispersion conditions for the occurrence of heavy rainfall in south China. A western Pacific subtropical high dominated the eastern part of the South China Sea, favoring stronger and more northward transport of water vapor to the northern part of south China at lower latitudes than normal. The continuous heavy precipitation event can be divided into two stages. The first stage (June 13-15) was the frontal heavy rainfall caused by cold air (brought by an East Asian trough) from the mid-latitudes that converged with a monsoonal airflow. The heavy rains occurred mostly in the area near a shear in front of the center of a synoptic-system-related low-level jet (SLLJ), and the jet stream and precipitation were strongest in the daytime. The second stage (June 16-21) was the warm-sector heavy rainfall caused by a South China Sea monsoonal low-level jet penetrating inland. The heavy rainfall occurred on the windward slope of the Nanling Mountains and in the northern part of a boundary layer jet (BLJ). The BLJ experienced five nighttime enhancements, corresponding well with the enhancement of the rainfall center, showing significant nighttime heavy rainfall characteristics. Finally, a conceptual diagram of inland-type warm-sector heavy rainfall in south China is summarized.     

2019年6月桂林三次强降水天气成因对比分析

利用多普勒雷达、气象卫星、自动气象站等监测数据以及NCEP再分析资料,对桂林2019年6月6-12日接连3次强降水天气过程的环流背景、影响系统与形成原因进行了对比分析。结果表明:(1)3次过程按影响系统分属暖区暴雨、低涡暴雨和锋面暴雨过程,均发生在高空急流右侧辐散、低空急流左侧辐合叠加区。(2)3次过程均受500 hPa短波槽和地面中尺度辐合线影响,但第1次过程中西南急流及地形等、第2次过程中低涡切变线、第3次过程中冷锋也起到重要作用。(3)3次过程的触发系统不同,第1次暖区暴雨过程迎风坡地形对其起触发作用,西南急流使得后向传播的对流云带维持;第2次低涡暴雨过程的触发系统为低层位于贵州一带的西南涡,西部冷空气侵入与西南急流加强是低涡对流云团维持较长时间的原因;第3次锋面暴雨的触发系统为冷锋,锋面配合锋前暖湿气流使对流云带加强。(4)第1次过程暖区暴雨MCS模态主要为线状后向扩建类,极端强降水出现在线对流中后端;第2次过程低涡暴雨MCS模态为涡旋类,极端强降水出现在涡旋中心附近;第3次过程锋面暴雨MCS模态由前期后部层云区线状对流转为层状云包裹对流系统,强降水发生在线对流弯曲或中心强回波处。     

A Modeling Study of Surface Rainfall Processes Associated with a Torrential Rainfall Event over Hubei, China, during July 2007

The surface rainfall processes associated with the torrential rainfall event over Hubei,China,during July 2007 were investigated using a two-dimensional cloud-resolving model.The model integrated the large-scale vertical velocity and zonal wind data from National Centers for Environmental Prediction(NCEP)/Global Data Assimilation System(GDAS) for 5 days.The time and model domain mean surface rain rate was used to identify the onset,mature,and decay periods of rainfall.During the onset period,the descending motion data imposed in the lower troposphere led to a large contribution of stratiform rainfall to the model domain mean surface rainfall.The local atmospheric drying and transport of rain from convective regions mainly contributes to the stratiform rainfall.During the mature periods,the ascending motion data integrated into the model was so strong that water vapor convergence was the dominant process for both convective and stratiform rainfall.Both convective and stratiform rainfalls made important contributions to the model domain mean surface rainfall.During the decay period,descending motion data input into the model prevailed,making stratiform rainfall dominant.Stratiform rainfall was mainly caused by the water vapor convergence over raining stratiform regions.     

On the Key Dynamical Processes Supporting the 21.7 Zhengzhou Record-breaking Hourly Rainfall in China

An extremely heavy rainfall event occurred in Zhengzhou, China, on 20 July 2021 and produced an hourly rainfall rate of 201.9 mm, which broke the station record for mainland China.

Results show that the extreme rainfall occurred in an environment characteristic of warm-sec...     

地面降水诊断方程对降水过程的定量诊断

降水, 尤其是强降水 (暴雨), 对国家经济发展、 社会建设以及人民生活影响巨大, 然而由于同降水相关的物理过程非常复杂, 因此, 对降水的研究与预测十分困难。过去有关降水的研究大多关注水汽及水汽辐合 (输送) 的影响, 对与降水有关的水汽收支研究较多。Gao et al.(2005a) 率先将大气中水汽和云中水凝物 (云水、 雨水、 云冰、 雪及霰等) 的变化方程结合起来, 得到一个地面降水诊断方程, 从而可以将与降水有关的大气中水汽和云的演变过程在同一框架下定量地分析研究。本文利用一套21天长度的热带云分辨尺度模拟资料, 通过计算地面降水诊断方程中的局地水汽变化、 水汽辐合辐散率、 地面蒸发率以及云的变化率等各项, 分析了这些物理过程对降水的贡献, 指出局地水汽和云的变化率、 水汽辐合率, 地面蒸发率等均对地面降水有重要贡献。区域平均资料分析表明, 若水汽辐合与局地大气变干共存, 则产生强降水; 若存在水汽辐合但局地大气增湿或者存在水汽辐散但局地大气变干, 则引起中等强度降水; 若水汽辐散与局地大气增湿共存, 则造成弱降水。将降水划分成对流和层状降水进行分析发现, 对流降水率一般大于层状降水率, 水汽辐合是对流降水最主要的水汽源, 而局地大气变干则是层状降水最主要的水汽源。区域平均局地大气变干主要发生在降水性层状云区, 而最强的局地大气增湿则发生在对流云区和晴空区; 最强的局地云的消散发生在层状云区, 而最强的局地云的发展发生在对流云区。     

Effects of Vertical Wind Shear on the Pre-Summer Heavy Rainfall Budget:A Cloud-Resolving Modeling Study

This study investigates the effects of vertical wind shear on the torrential rainfall response to the large-scale forcing using a rainfall separation analysis of a pair of two-dimensional cloud-resolving model sensitivity experiments for a pre-summer heavy rainfall event over southern China from 3-8 June 2008 coupled with National Centers for Environmental Prediction(NCEP)/Global Data Assimilation System(GDAS) data.The rainfall partitioning analysis based on the surface rainfall budget indicates that the exclusion of vertical wind shear decreases the contribution to total rainfall from the largest contributor,which is the rainfall associated with local atmospheric drying,water vapor divergence,and hydrometeor loss/convergence,through the reduction of the rainfall area and reduced rainfall during the rainfall event.The removal of vertical wind shear increases the contribution to total rainfall from the rainfall associated with local atmospheric drying,water vapor convergence,and hydrometeor loss/convergence through the expansion of the rainfall area and enhanced rainfall.The elimination of vertical wind shear enhances heavy rainfall and expands its area,whereas it reduces moderate rainfall and its area.     

集合预报对台风天鹅(2015)远距离暴雨的不确定性研究

2015年8月23—24日期间台风天鹅引发华东中部沿海地区出现暴雨或大暴雨天气。基于欧洲中期天气预报中心的集合预报分析导致此次远距离暴雨预报不确定的关键原因,并利用集合敏感性分析方法研究影响此次暴雨过程的主要天气系统的敏感区域,此外对暴雨发生发展的热动力机制展开探讨,主要结论包括:集合预报对此次台风天鹅引起的远距离暴雨的可预报性明显偏低,仅在暴雨发生前24 h才做出较大调整。在不同起报时次下,当台风路径的系统性偏差最小时,台风降水集合预报也最接近实况,但是进一步的分析表明,台风路径误差与降水量级之间的对应关系并不确定。不同雨量成员组间中低层环流场的对比分析表明:高空槽的预报差异是集合预报不确定的主要原因,高空槽东移加深有利于增加暴雨区的斜压不稳定,也有利于增强对流层低层的水汽输送急流带。500 hPa高度场的敏感性分析表明无论是初始场还是预报场,暴雨区平均降雨量均与高空槽的东移和加深显著相关,且随着预报时次的临近,显著相关区域向低槽下游明显扩大。此外还发现高空槽的东移有利于增强(减弱)暴雨区左(右)侧低层冷空气的强度,使得台风右侧更多暖湿气流向暴雨区输送。     

一次冬季暴雨过程中的锋生和条件对称不稳定分析

基于观测资料和NCEP再分析资料,并结合中尺度数值模拟,对2012年1月14—15日我国江南和华南冬季暴雨过程中的锋生与条件对称不稳定(conditional symmetric instablility,CSI)进行诊断分析。结果表明,南支锋区上短波槽东移配合低层冷空气活动,在江南南部到华南地区形成了明显的锋生过程,构成了有利于暴雨过程的天气尺度环流背景;来自孟加拉湾异常充沛的水汽输送形成了冷季暴雨所必须的水汽条件,异常强盛的高空急流人口区右侧的强辐散区也有利于暴雨的形成。在降水过程中锋面附近有多条中尺度雨带活动,锋生函数分析表明,14日夜间广西境内锋生明显增强,在潜热释放的影响下CSI开始发展,相应的锋生次级环流也有所发展,锋前暖区中的上升运动随之增强,导致广西北部形成较强的中尺度降雨带。分析表明,锋生次级环流和CSI实质是锋面次级环流方程(Sawyer-Elissen方程)在不同稳定性条件下的解,锋生强迫环流的性质可由湿位涡作为等价判据进行分析。     

宁波夏季强对流和台风短时暴雨雷达回波特征对比分析

为了对比宁波地区夏季强对流短时暴雨和台风短时暴雨的多普勒雷达回波特征，选取2004年和2005年该地区夏季出现的强对流短时暴雨和台风短时暴雨的个例作为研究对象，从回波的发展演变、回波形态及回波产品值等进行分析比较，发现：这两类短时暴雨在回波强度、回波高度及垂直液态水含量等产品有明显差异，而降水产品如OHP，STP估计的雨量值，在这两种天气过程中，均比实况雨量资料偏小，且实况雨量越大，偏差也越大；另外，在分析中也发现，用雷达缺省的Z-I关系来估计雨量有很大误差，特别是在台风降水过程中；最后分别建立了对流性降水与台风降水的Z-I关系，以修正宁波夏季的降水估计值。     

Temporal Variations of the Frontal and Monsoon Storm Rainfall during the First Rainy Season in South China

The temporal variations in storm rainfall during the first rainy season (FRS) in South China (SC) are investigated in this study. The results show that the inter-annual variations in storm rainfall during the FRS in SC seem to be mainly influenced by the frequency of storm rainfall, while both frequency and intensity affect the inter-decadal variations in the total storm rainfall. Using the definitions for the beginning and ending dates of the FRS, and the onset dates of the summer monsoon in SC, the FRS is further divided into two sub-periods, i.e., the frontal and monsoon rainfall periods. The inter-annual and inter-decadal variations in storm rainfall during these two periods are investigated here. The results reveal a significant out-of-phase correlation between the frontal and monsoon storm rainfall, especially on the inter-decadal timescale, the physical mechanism for which requires further investigation.     

广西北部湾地区台风暴雨的统计特征

利用1970~2004年中央气象台编制的《台风年鉴》和广西北部湾各站日雨量实况,对影响广西北部湾地区台风暴雨的气候特征进行统计分析,结果表明:影响北部湾地区的台风主要出现在7~9月,与南海台风相比,西太平洋台风引发北部湾地区的大暴雨次数较多,从台风登陆路径分析,Ⅱ类和Ⅰ类在湛江到钦州登陆路径的台风造成北部湾地区区域性暴雨天气的机率最大;Ⅲ类路径登陆的南海台风几乎都不影响该地区,不管何种路径,造成北部湾沿海地区暴雨,台风低压中心必须进入或者靠近这一地区。     

一次闽南暖区暴雨的多尺度动力过程

作为气象研究中的一个难点问题,暖区暴雨的动力学一直为学界所关注。基于多尺度子空间变换(MWT)以及基于MWT的局地多尺度能量学分析和正则传输理论,对2018年5月7日的一次闽南暖区暴雨进行研究以了解其多尺度动力过程。首先将原始物理量场重建到三个尺度子空间:背景流子空间、天气尺度子空间和暴雨子空间。重构场上可以很好地看出背景环流尺度的高低空急流,以及暴雨尺度上的垂直环流。以往的研究普遍认为暖区暴雨的动力过程具有弱斜压性这一特征,而就此次事件而言,正压失稳和斜压失稳都起着很关键的作用,暴雨主要落区内既发生了正压失稳,也发生了斜压失稳。研究表明,对流层不同高度上的动力学存在差异,低层主要表现为正压失稳,天气尺度子空间与背景流子空间向暴雨子空间传输的动能相当; 中层主要是混合失稳,除正压失稳外,斜压正则传输也将有效位能从背景流子空间传输到了暴雨子空间,再通过浮力转换将有效位能转为动能,从而维持暴雨在中层的动力过程; 高层则与低层相似,但只存在背景流子空间向暴雨子空间的能量传输。      

热带气旋远距离暴雨过程的诊断分析

利用天气实况和NCEP再分析资料，对2004年8月26—28日山东大暴雨过程进行了客观分析。结果表明，0418号热带气旋在福建沿海登陆后，其北伸倒槽与西风带弱冷空气结合造成了本次大暴雨过程，具有明显的中低纬系统相互作用特征。伴随登陆热带气旋生成的低空东南急流为暴雨输送了丰富的热量和水汽，成为联系中低纬度系统的纽带。西风带弱冷空气侵入台风北伸倒槽后，在黄淮之间有明显的暖锋锋生特征，是触发倒槽区域中尺度对流发展和暴雨产生的重要动力机制。暴雨与高能舌区具有很好的对应关系，总能量分布对热带气旋远距离暴雨的落区具有很好的指示作用。     

四川地区一次暴雨过程的观测分析与数值模拟

本文首先利用多种资料,对2010年8月18~19日四川地区一次引发了泥石流次生灾害的暴雨天气过程开展了观测分析,进一步利用中尺度模式WRF对此次降水过程开展了高分辨率数值模拟,并利用模拟资料对暴雨过程进行了初步诊断分析。结果指出:(1)此次暴雨过程具有强降水持续时间短、短时降水强度大、局地性强等特点,在空间和时间上都具有明显中尺度特征;强降水主要发生在汶川—雅安断裂带陡峭地形附近,与地形关系密切;(2)中高纬度“两脊一槽”环流形势及其缓慢变化、副热带高压(简称副高)与高压脊叠加形成“东高西低”形势,为此次暴雨天气过程提供了有利的大尺度条件;西南涡的发展加强及其与副高西侧边缘强风速带的相互作用,增强了川西陡峭地形的抬升效应,促发暴雨发生;而四川盆地中多个中尺度云团的发生、发展与暴雨的发生直接相关;(3)WRF模式较好地模拟再现了此次降水过程,模拟结果初步诊断分析显示,在四川盆地复杂地形及大尺度环流背景发展和演变的影响下,稳定层结盖的进退、低层东南风的加强和减弱以及不稳定能量的累积与释放控制着暴雨过程的发生与结束。     

两次华北冷涡降水成因及预报偏差对比分析

利用多种常规及非常规观测资料、美国国家环境预报中心全球模式业务系统分析资料(NCEP/FNL)以及三家全球确定性模式产品对2017年两次华北冷涡降水过程成因及模式预报偏差进行了对比分析。结果表明;个例1(6月22日)降水回波为层-积混合型,对流发展高度低,小时雨强小,先后经历了持续的稳定降水和弱对流降水两个阶段;个例2(7月6日)降水以积云状对流回波为主,对流发展高度高,短历时强降水特点明显。二者对应的环境场差异较大,前者冷涡处在成熟期,副热带高压位置偏南,前期暖区对流冷池降温明显,对流能量及水汽条件一般;后者冷涡为发展期,副热带高压位置偏北,中低纬相互作用明显,水汽与能量充沛。两次过程北京均出现了暴雨及以上量级降水,对应的中尺度对流系统(MCS)特征、对流触发机制以及对流不稳定能量重建过程存在明显差异。前者为层状云中发展的γ中尺度MCS,边界层偏东风增强为MCS提供了触发机制,中低层偏东风暖湿输送以及对流层高层干冷平流有利于对流不稳定能量重建;后者为组织化的β中尺度MCS,列车效应明显,偏南低空急流及其气旋式切变配合地形为MCS发展提供了抬升条件,对流不稳定能量建立与中低层偏南低空急流强暖湿输送有关。各家数值模式对不同类型冷涡降水的预报偏差特征一致,即对冷涡成熟期的降水,因对动力条件预报过强导致空报降水;而对冷涡发展期的降水,由于对槽前暖区辐合及其对流性降水预报不足导致强降水出现漏报。     

Differences between Convective and Stratiform Precipitation Budgets in a Torrential Rainfall Event

Differences in rainfall budgets between convective and stratiform regions of a torrential rainfall event were investigated using high-resolution simulation data produced by the Weather Research and Forecasting(WRF) model. The convective and stratiform regions were reasonably separated by the radar-based convective–stratiform partitioning method, and the threedimensional WRF-based precipitation equation combining water vapor and hydrometeor budgets was further used to analyze the rainfall budgets. The results showed that the magnitude of precipitation budget processes in the convective region was one order larger than that in the stratiform region. In convective/stratiform updraft regions, precipitation was mainly from the contribution of moisture-related processes, with a small negative contribution from cloud-related processes. In convective/stratiform downdraft regions, cloud-related processes played positive roles in precipitation, while moisture-related processes made a negative contribution. Moisture flux convergence played a dominant role in the moisture-related processes in convective or stratiform updraft regions, which was closely related to large-scale dynamics. Differences in cloud-related processes between convective and stratiform regions were more complex compared with those in moisture-related processes.Both liquid-and ice-phase microphysical processes were strong in convective/stratiform updraft regions, and ice-phase processes were dominant in convective/stratiform downdraft regions. There was strong net latent heating within almost the whole troposphere in updraft regions, especially in the convective updraft region, while the net latent heating(cooling) mainly existed above(below) the zero-layer in convective/stratiform downdraft regions.     

Surface rainfall and cloud budgets associated with mei-yu torrential rainfall over eastern China during June 2011

Surface rainfall and cloud budgets associated with three heavy rainfall events that occurred over eastern China during the mei-yu season in June 2011 were analyzed using 2D cumulus ensemble model simulation data.Model domain mean rainfall showed three peaks in response to three prescribed ascending motion maxima,primarily through the mean moisture convergence during the torrential rainfall period.Prescribed ascending motion throughout the troposphere produced strong convective rainfall during the first （9 June） and third （17-18 June） rainfall events,whereas strong prescribed ascending motion in the mid and upper troposphere and weak subsidence near the surface generated equally important stratiform and convective rainfall during the second rainfall event （14 June）.The analysis of surface rainfall budgets reveals that convective rainfall was associated with atmospheric drying during the first event and moisture convergence during the third event.Both stratiform and convective rainfall responded primarily to moisture convergence during the second event.An analysis of grid data shows that the first and third mean rainfall maxima had smaller horizontal scales of the precipitation system than the second.     

2012年7月21日北京特大暴雨的多尺度特征

本文采用观测和NCEP分析场资料对2012年7月21日发生在北京地区的特大暴雨过程的天气形势、水汽来源和中尺度对流系统的特征进行了研究。结果如下:“7.21”北京暴雨过程是高低空与中低纬系统共同配合的结果,暴雨发生在“东高西低”的环流形势下,低涡、切变线、低槽冷锋和低空急流为此次过程的主要影响天气系统;孟加拉湾至西太平洋地区热带辐合带(ITCZ)活跃,其中热带气旋的活动有利于水汽向东亚大陆输送,此次暴雨过程中华北地区的水汽源地包括孟加拉湾和我国东部的渤海、黄海等,低层的水汽主要来自东部,中层的水汽主要来自孟加拉湾;北京的强降雨有两段,第1段降雨虽然发生在冷锋前,但有明显冷空气的侵入,并与地形和东风的作用有关,第2段降雨对流的组织和增强与冷锋强迫相关。在有利环境下,中尺度对流系统频繁发生发展,持续时间长,且稳定少动是此次特大暴雨形成的重要原因。
