Microphysical Characterization of a Mesoscale Convective System in Beijing Based on X-band Radar Observations
2025
Overview
A mesoscale convective system (MCS) embedded in a cold frontal cloud system over Beijing on July 16, 2018 was investigated using X-band dual-polarization radar observations from Fangshan Station and sounding data from the Beijing Observatory. This study focused on hydrometeor identification and microphysical characterization, yielding the following key findings. 1) The ice-phase hydromorphic species above the 0°C layer differed in different stages and regions of this MCS. From the stage of development to maturity to dissipation, the main hydromorphic species in the region with combined reflectance larger than 40 dBZ were graupel and snow, and the proportion of ice crystals was relatively low. In the region with combined reflectance between 20 and 40 dBZ, graupel, snow, and ice crystals were the main hydromorphic species. In these two regions, the proportion of graupel gradually decreased with time, while the proportion of snow and ice crystals gradually increased with time. In the region with combined reflect
