Abstract:

Based on the ECMWF (European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) ERA5 reanalysis data, GPS (Global Position System) precipitable water vapor observations, and conventional observation data, the variation characteristics of atmospheric PWV (Precipitable Water Vapor) and water vapor flux during four short-time heavy rainfall processes from 2020-2021 under different weather systems in Shenyang were analyzed. The results show that the duration of water vapor accumulation is closely related to the corresponding weather system.PWV can be maintained at a relatively high level in the heavy rainfall process caused by the periphery of the subtropical high system, and the water vapor growth rate can reach 1.1 mm·h-1.In addition, the occurrence period of heavy rainfall corresponds with the peak of PWV, but the peaks of the two do not coincide completely.When short-time heavy rainfall occurs, the atmospheric precipitable water at Shenyang station reaches more than 38 mm.After the end of heavy rainfall, PWV weakens obviously.

Key words: Short-time severe rainfall, Ground-based GPS, Water vapor flux
