Abstract:
Using multi-source observation data and ERA5 reanalysis data, the circulation background, convection system evolution characteristics, dual polarization parameters and wind characteristics of a local short-time rainstorm process under the background of subtropical high in northern Zhejiang on July 14, 2024 are analyzed,The results indicated that:(1) This process took place under the weak weather background controlled by the subtropical high, and the weak convergence line on the ground was the main trigger mechanism. High humidity background, large CAPE,K index and low LCL were all conducive to the occurrence of short-term rainstorm. (2)The rainstorm occured on the weak convergence line on the ground, with obvious backward propagation characteristics and significant "train effect". The process could be divided into two stages. In the first stage, the echoes were distributed in clusters, evolving from multiple individual storms to multiple individual storms. In the second stage, the echoes were distributed in bands, and precipitation is mainly generated by three individual storms.(3)The microphysical characteristics of convective storms varied at different stages. The first stage of precipitation included low concentrations of large raindrops and high concentrations of small raindrops. In the second stage, the precipitation particles of Unit A were mainly high concentration of large raindrops in the early stage, and high concentration of small raindrops in the later stage while Unit B were mainly slightly high concentration of large raindrops and Unit C were mainly low concentration of large raindrops. The rainstorm center was mainly caused by Unit A and B,which were high centroid precipitation. (4)The wind characteristics of convective storms varied at different stages.In the horizontal direction the storm at 800m mostly exhibited cyclonic rotation, with unit B having a complete vortex circulation. The middle and lower layers showed convergence of wind direction and speed, with the first stage of convergence being relatively deep. In the vertical direction, there were more westward or southwestern airflows, and precipitation particles were concentrated at the convergence of the airflows.
