  • 摘要: 为探究贵州山区超级单体雹暴复杂的多尺度过程与地形环境相互作用机制,利用多普勒雷达观测数据、ERA-5再分析资料和WRF中尺度模式,对2012年4月4日贵阳地区一次超级单体雹暴过程多尺度综合分析。结果表明:(1)500hPa高空槽南下、700hPa低空切变线和850hPa低压气旋,配合“上冷下暖”的不稳定层结,地面辐合线和山区地形抬升共同触发并维持这次超级单体雹暴过程。(2)三个超级单体雹暴过程持续约3小时,组合反射率出现大于65dBZ,有超过11km的回波顶高,并出现弓形回波和三体散射现象。垂直风切变达到24m/s是产生中气旋的主要原因,雹暴中心在-10℃到0℃,利于冰雹形成,低层和中层强中气旋促使空气辐合上升,速度“零域”通道助力水汽和能量输送,中气旋围绕“零域”分布增强了雹暴系统的稳定性和发展能力。(3)900hPa-200hPa高度层垂直速度增大,强上升气流为雹暴发展提供动力,中低层相对湿度大值提供水汽,水汽凝结释放潜热推动对流运动发展。位涡呈现“上正下负”的形势,揭示大气热动力涡旋结构利于对流发展;发生发展初期,垂直方向物理量交换少、对流弱,位涡和热力螺旋度有明显指示作用;成熟阶段,垂直风场极强上升气流加剧不稳定,位涡、水汽螺旋度和热力螺旋度指示明显;降雹消散阶段,垂直速度减小、相对湿度和水汽通量等发生变化,位涡量级减少,水汽螺旋度和热力螺旋度指示系统趋于稳定、降雹和崩溃。(4)500hPa-900hPa云水含量先后波动,700hPa-900hPa雨水从9-10时出现并持续增加,300hPa-600hPa雪水含量变化平稳,部分区域冰水含量增加。模拟显示,雹云内0℃到-20℃大量云滴生成,0℃层下碰并成雨滴,-40℃生成冰晶粒子,经贝吉龙过程凝华,-10℃至-40℃生成霰、雪粒子,霰粒子干增长碰冻成雹粒子。成熟阶段,云滴转化为雨滴或冰晶,经一系列碰冻、粘连作用生成雹粒子。降雹阶段,霰粒子在过冷水大值区生成冰雹,雹云在“穴道”-“零域”前端冰雹通过反复上升下降,在该区域成为大质量冰雹,随后在雹云后端最终降雹。

     

    Abstract: In order to explore the complex multi-scale process of supercell hailstorm and the interaction mechanism of terrain environment in mountainous area of Guizhou, a multi-scale comprehensive analysis of a supercell hailstorm process in Guiyang area on April 4, 2012 was conducted by using Doppler radar observation data, ERA-5 reanalysis data and WRF mesoscale model. The results show that: (1) The southbound 500hPa upper-level trough, 700hPa low-level shear line and 850hPa low-pressure cyclone, together with the unstable stratification of "cold above and warm below", the ground convergence line and the uplift of mountainous terrain, jointly triggered and maintained the supercell hail storm process. (2) The hailstorm process of the three supercells lasted for about 3 hours, and the combined reflectivity was greater than 65dBZ, the echo top height was more than 11km, and the bow echo and three-body scattering phenomenon appeared. The vertical wind shear of 24m/s is the main reason for the formation of mesocyones. The center of hailstorms is from -10℃ to 0℃, which is conducive to the formation of hailstorms. Strong mesocyones at low and middle levels promote air convergence and rise, and the velocity "0 line" channel helps water vapor and energy transport. (3) The vertical velocity of 900hPa-200hPa elevation layer increases, the strong updraft provides power for the development of hail storms, the high relative humidity in the middle and low levels provides water vapor, and the water vapor condensation releases latent heat to promote the development of convective movement. The potential vorticity is positive on the upper side and negative on the lower side, which shows that the structure of atmospheric thermal vortex is conducive to the development of convection. In the early stage of development, the vertical physical quantity exchange is less, the convection is weak, and the potential vorticity and thermal helicity are obvious indicators. In the mature stage, the instability is aggravated by the strong updraft in the vertical wind field, and the indications of potential vorticity, water vapor helicity and thermal helicity are obvious. In the dissipation stage of hail, the vertical velocity decreases, the relative humidity and water vapor flux change, the potential vorticity magnitude decreases, and the water vapor helicity and thermal helicity indicate the system tends to stabilize, hail and collapse. (4) The cloud water content of 500hPa-900hPa fluctuated successively, the rain water of 700hPa-900hPa appeared from 9 to 10 and continued to increase, the snow water content of 300hPa-600hPa changed steadily, and the ice water content increased in some areas. The simulation shows that a large number of cloud droplets are formed from 0℃ to -20℃ in the hail cloud, raindrops are formed under the layer of 0℃ and ice crystal particles are formed at -40℃, and graupel and snow particles are formed at -10℃ to -40℃ through the Begeron process, and graupel particles are formed when they dry and freeze into hail particles. In the mature stage, cloud droplets are transformed into raindrops or ice crystals, and hail particles are formed through a series of freezing and adhesion processes. In the hail fall stage, graupel particles generate hail in the large value area of supercooled water, and the hail rises and falls repeatedly in the front end of the hail cloud in the "acupoint" - "zero domain", and becomes a massive hail in this area, and then the hail finally falls in the back end of the hail cloud.
