“2020.5.4”雹暴超级单体回波分层结构特征分析

Analysis of Layered Structure Characteristics of Supercell Echoes in the Hailstorm on May 4, 2020

  • 摘要: 选取2020年5月4日贵州东部一次持续时间长达6 h以上的雹暴超级单体天气过程,分析了该雹暴超级单体回波分层特征。结果表明:(1)雹暴单体从块状回波发展成为勾状回波,从东偏北向东偏南方向移动,移动速度达到50 km·h−1,回波强度最大值达到71.5 dBZ,45 dBZ、55 dBZ回波高度最大值分别达到了15.2 km、12.1 km;(2)降雹集中期和大冰雹的发生与45 dBZ高度、55 dBZ高度扩展到−20 ℃层高度密切相关,大冰雹出现时间与55 dBZ高度大于−20 ℃层高度的集中时段较为一致。(3)降雹集中时段VIL值始终处于45 kg.m−2以上的高值区,冰雹概率为100%,但冰雹尺寸大小与实际地面冰雹大小相差较大。(4)雹暴单体高空风随高度增大从偏西南风转为偏西北风,高空风的前沿出现强径向速度梯度带,最大平均径向速度达到了19 m·s−1,强回波中心出现正负径向速度块和最大速度模糊,并在南北侧出现“弓形”负径向速度区的辐合特征,强烈的辐合上升气流有利于大冰雹的形成、维持和增长。(5)降雹集中区回波强度≥45 dBZ的区域面积与降雹实际影响区域面积具有相对应的一致关系,降雹点主要集中在回波强度≥55 dBZ的区域内,单点降雹所对应回波强度≥45 dBZ持续时间段与实际降雹起止时间具有一致性。

     

    Abstract: On 4 May 2020, an extraordinary supercell thunderstorm event occurred in eastern Guizhou, China, the hailstorm lasted for more than 6 hours, the layered characteristics of the supercell echo of the hailstorm was analyzed. The results show that: (1) The hailstorm cell developed from a block echo to a hook echo, moving from east by north to east by south, with a moving speed of 50 km·h−1, and the maximum echo intensity reached 71.5 dBZ, with the maximum echo heights of 45 dBZ and 55 dBZ reaching 15.2 km and 12.1km respectively. (2) The concentrated period of hailfall and occurrence of large hail were closely related to the height of the 45 dBZ and 55 dBZ extending to the height of −20 ℃ layer. The occurrence time of large hail was consistent with the concentration period when the 55 dBZ echo height was greater than the height of −20 ℃ layer. (3) The Vertically Integrated Liquid (VIL) values consistently remained in the high value area above 45 kg·m−2. The probability of hail (POSH) was 100%, but there was a significant difference between the maximum expected hail size (MEHS) and the observed ground hail size. (4) The high-altitude wind of hailstorm cell changed from southwesterly wind to northwesterly wind with the increase of height. The leading edge of the high-altitude wind displayed a strong radial velocity gradient band, with a maximum average radial velocity reaching 19 m·s−1. In the core of the intense echoes, the positive and negative radial velocity blocks and maximum velocity ambiguity appeared, and the convergent feature of negative radial velocity zone in the shape of an arch was observed on the north and south sides. The strong converging updrafts favored the formation, maintenance, and growth of large hail. (5) The area with the echo intensity ≥ 45 dBZ in the concentrated hail area corresponded to the actual affected area of hail. The main concentration of hail occurred in the area with the echo intensity ≥ 55 dBZ. The duration of the echo intensity ≥ 45 dBZ corresponding to single staion hailfall was consistent with the actual starting and endimg time of the hail.
