Dynamic and thermodynamic characteristics of warm-sector rainstorms caused by the southwest china vortex in sichuan basin
2024
Overview
Using automatic rainfall station and ERA5 reanalysis data, the Southwest China vortex (SWCV) processes that induce warm-sector rainstorms in the Sichuan Basin were analyzed, their environmental field and dynamic thermal characteristics were researched through physical diagnosis and dynamic synthesis, and the development mechanism was discussed. The results showed that for the warm-sector rainstorms caused by the SWCV (SWCV-WR), the general circulation backgrounds can could be divided into three types: upper trough-vortex (Type I), plateau shear line (Type II), and short-wave trough (Type III) types. Regarding the aspects of the maintenance of the SWCV, duration of the warm-sector rainstorms, and maximum hourly precipitation intensity, the influence of Type I is the most evident, followed by Types II and III for SWCV-WR. The vertical structure of the SWCV is shallow and inclined to the west with height, but the positive vorticity of Types I and II can reach up to 200 hPa for SWCV-WR. The pseudo-equivalent potential temperature in the vortex area is greater than 354 K, which is accompanied by an upward-energy tongue, and shallow secondary circulation occurs on the eastern side of the SWCV, promoting vortex development. Regarding the thermodynamic characteristics of SWCV, Type I is the strongest, followed by Type III, and Type II is the weakest. The water vapor supply in different types of SWCV-WR is not only closely related to the strength of water vapor transport in the Bay of Bengal, but also to the variations in water vapor transport caused by the influence of different water vapor sources, such as the South China Sea and western Pacific Ocean, during its transportation. For SWCV-WR, the vorticity advection presents an uneven east-west positive and negative distribution. Under the dynamic forcing, the positive vorticity on the east side of SWCV of Types I and II (III) is enhanced (weakened), while that on the west side is weakened (enhanced). Different atmospheric vorticity variations have different significant effects on the three types of SWCV-WR. Under the spatial non-uniform heating, the horizontal non-uniform heating effect on the different types of SWCV-WR has regional differences, while the vertical non-uniform heating effect has the largest effect on the spatial non-uniform heating and a positive heating effect on the three types of SWCV-WR. Therefore, the spatial non-adiabatic heating effect, particularly the vertical non-uniform heating effect, is an important mechanism for the development and evolution of SWCV and SWCV-WR.
