Observation and numerical simulation of a squall line over South China
Based on meteorological observation data and high-resolution numerical simulation results
the evolution and mechanism of convective organization and modes in a squall line over South China on May 11
2020
were analyzed in four stages: nascent stage
enhanced stage
mature stage
and decay stage. The results show that the squall line occurred in the strong divergence zone of the upper jet stream. With the deepening and eastward moving of the south branch of the trough
the warm and wet advection in the low layer and mesoscale convergence line on the ground provided favorable conditions of water vapor
heat
and uplift triggering. In the nascent stage
the squall developed in a manner of Broken Lines with medium to strong convective available potential energy and maximum convective inhibition
in the environment of the maximum thermal condition. In the mature stage
a trailing stratiform squall was formed
and the low-level wind shear and cold pool intensity gradually reached a balanced state. During the decay stage
the phase mode of the squall line changed
mainly affected by the thermal condition caused Back Building mode convective cells
and also by different water vapor and wind shear conditions in the lower layer. In South China
it requires high convective effective potential energy to generate a squall line of stratiform cloud mode with trailing tail strong thermal conditions to maintain the squall line. The convective available potential energy
convective inhibition
Bulk Richardson number
and storm-relative helicity can indicate the type and structure mode of convective monomer formation.
