Abstract

In order to find out the development mechanism of severe convection in spring,with conventional observation data,MICAPS data,and a new generation doppler weather radar data,a wide range of severe convection weather,happened in the morning on March 20,2013 in Jinhua,was analyzed by synoptic and dynamical methods which.The results show that:(1)The main influencing system is upper trough and ground inverted trough;(2)The water vapor transport is strong in the process,because three high-layers are all controlled by southwest jet;(3)The dynamic condition is ideal,for there are severe vertical ascending motion centers almost overlapping near the jet and the vertical wind shear is strong from 500 hPa to the ground;(4)The interaction between strong warm advection in low-levels and weak cold advection in high-level leads to the unstable stratification with warm-wet air under dry-cold air;(5)Cold air infiltering from middle-level prompts the further development of strong convection,the storm develops into a meso-scale squall line without any gust front;(6)The supercell storm in the south of squall line develops into a non-supercell storm with the feature as″bow″echo in radar product,and the top of the echo brings instantaneous wind of 27.4m/s when it passes Wuyi;(7)VIL high value maintains in shot time that hail can hardly occur.
