A MM5 Numerical Simulation and Analysis about the Cold Front

Xiaojing Meng

Abstract

The high cold front on April 8-9,2000 was successfully simulated by using the nonhydrostatic mesoscale atmospheric model (MM5). We make a diagnostic analysis about the simulant fields and conclude that the evolution of the high cold front accords with the mechanism of frontogenesis. In addition,we also find that the high cold front has a discontinuity structure.
