Abstract:MICAPS data and NCEP 2.5°×2.5°reanalysis data during the period of 199 6—2005 are used to make statistical research on the activity of southwest vorte x and floodproducing vortex influencing South China. The climatic features such as frequency of vortex activity, genesis, movement track, and intensity during t he genesis and moving process, and its lifetime, average circulation field, and precipitation features are investigated. And the allocation of influencing flood producing synoptic system and its model graph are offered to provide basis for forecasting vortex and floodproducing heavy rainfall in South China.
