Abstract:
By using Jinan CINRAD/SA Doppler radar products,
the weather proces
s of squall line on July 5, 2006, evolution of echo and flow structure were anal
yzed, the relations between the outflow boundary, sinking air currents and stron
g wind were discussed,and the portfolio reflectivity factor, the vertical liqui
d water content, the mesocyclone product characteristics were analyzed. The resu
lts showed that two maxima of wind speed occurred during the squall line passing, one appeared in an outflow boundary impact sessions, another in strong echo si
nking airstream affected periods. As the transverse trough moves southward, the
inflow continuously added to the rear of squall line, the warm and wet air flow
climbed along the rear of inflow, which constantly created new cells and maintai
ned the development of storm. In the vertical flow structure, the warm air for t
he front side was tilted upwards, and the main part tilled backwards. In the rea
r there was the cold air injected and the downward flow formed. The sinking air
near the ground diverged, together with the lateral inflow formed the lower gust
front, which was the major factor causing the ground destruction. In the horizo
ntal flow structure there was an upward motion of convergence at low level and a
cyclone rotational flow at the middle level. At highlevel there was a diverge
nce flow. In the dissipating period of squall line, MARC appeared at middle level
, which brought strong winds and hail weather. The wind disaster with hail produ
ced in the period when the squall line was the strongest and began to weaken. Wh
en the echo intensity≥50dBz and vertical liquid water content ≥35 kg·m-
2, the mesocyclone is favorable for generating of hail and strong wind. The emerg
ence of outflow border reflected that the strong sinking flow in the rear of stro
ng echo is a precursor of the disastrous wind.
