Abstract:

We analyzed the mesoscale convection process of a local rainstorm in Tianjin caused by the typhoon remnant vortex using the reanalysis data from the European Center, cloud driving wind data from FY-2G satellite, two Doppler radar network data from Tanggu in Tianjin and Cangzhou in Hebei province, wind profiles and observations from the automatic stations.The triggering conditions and causes were studied as well.The results show that before the local convection occurring, there are no good dynamical and humidity conditions near the ground in the north-central part of Tianjin.There is an anomalous temperature inversion layer.The thickness of the negative anomalous temperature (cold pad) area exceeds 50 hPa.A larger wind vertical shear exists under the southeast tilting airflow to make the horizontal vortex tubes distorted and results in a vertical vorticity.Above the boundary layer, a convergence line forms between the positive and negative vorticities, which triggers release of the unstable energy.Consequently, a local convection process develops over the north-central Tianjin and moves northwestwards, merging with its northwest linear polymer, which leads the short-time heavy rainfall in the northern Tianjin.
