Abstract:

Based on the data from the conventional and automatic weather stations, Doppler radar, network videos, the disaster investigation and so on, the tornado weather process of No.1804 Ewiniar typhoon was analyzed.The results show that the tornado occurs on the right and rear side of the direction of typhoon Ewiniar after landing, with a strength level of EF1.The favorable circulation background includes the divergence suction at a high level, strong southeasterly jet stack at the middle and low level, and the lifting trigger of the mesoscale convergence line at the ground.The properties of atmosphere convective parameters are weak convective available potential energy and convective inhibitory energy, strong vertical wind shear at a low level, and low elevation condensation height and large relative helicity of a storm.The convective storm that produced the tornado is a low-mass micro-supercell one, and the tornado appears in the weak echo area of hook echo.On the velocity diagram, the meso-cyclone appears about 30 min ahead.The rotation speed of the meso-cyclone increases to the largest level near the occurrence of a tornado.Its size decreases, and its bottom height reaches to the minimum.All of these have a certain indicating effect for the early warning of the tornado.

Key words: Typhoon-tornado, Environmental background, Radar echo characteristics, Meso-cyclone
