Numerical Simulation and the Microphysical Mechanism of Hail Formation in Beijing

  • 摘要: 本文利用WRF模式对2021年6月25日一次发生在北京地区的冰雹天气进行高分辨率数值模拟研究。从雷达反射率和降水来看,数值模拟基本再现了冰雹风暴的宏观特征。在此基础上分析了冰雹风暴不同发展阶段的中尺度热力、动力和微物理特征。最后通过输出微物理过程的中间转化项,着重分析雹粒子和雨滴的质量收支和潜热收支情况,给出冰雹形成的云微物理概念模型图。研究结果表明:本次冰雹过程可分为多单体回波、线状对流和飑线三个阶段。此次冰雹天气主要以雪粒子为雹胚在对流层中高层与雨水和云水发生撞冻作用形成雹粒子,雹粒子生成后不断地撞冻雨水和云水增长,冰晶直接撞冻雨水形成雹的转化率很低。气流在风暴的前部低层流入,多单体阶段的两股弱上升气流不断地合并,而线状对流和飑线阶段低层入流减弱,中高层较干冷气流的流入明显。气流在飑线阶段强烈上升,在高层向前流出。被上升气流抬升的暖湿空气与中高层流入的干冷空气相遇凝结为云水或凝华为冰相粒子,释放大量潜热,导致云内浮力增强,促进云内气流强烈上升,将有更多的云水和冰相粒子 生成,同时促进了雹粒子的生成和累积。雪和雹粒子的融化吸收大量潜热,导致融化层升高,因此在飑线阶段有 大量过冷雨水生成并与雪粒子发生撞冻作用形成更多的雹粒子。大雹粒子降落产生的更强的水物质拖曳力将促进低层下沉气流增强。下沉运动导致低层雨水蒸发冷却,在近地面形成冷池,与高层的潜热加热配合增强对流,从而正反馈于经向环流。环流导致的垂直上升气流促进低层的水汽抬升至融化层以上凝结形成过冷水和凝华为雪粒子,而垂直下沉气流促进雪和雹降落至融化层以下形成雨水以及雨水在融化层以下蒸发,进而正反馈于云内热力环境。如此反复,产生降雹和强降水。

     

    Abstract: Herein, the WRF model was used to simulate the hailstorm in Beijing on June 25, 2021. In terms of radar reflectance and precipitation, numerical simulations reproduce the macroscopic characteristics of a hailstorm. Based on this, the mesoscale thermal, dynamic, and microphysical characteristics of a hailstorm in various development phases are examined. Finally, the mass budget and latent heat budget of hail particles and raindrops are studied by outputting the intermediate transformation term of the microphysical process, and a conceptual model diagram of the cloud microphysics of hail formation is presented. The results reveal that the process of hailstorm can be divided into three phases: multicell echo, linear convection, and squall line. In this hail weather, snow particles are primarily hail embryos, forming hail particles by the accretion of rain and cloud water by snow in the middle and upper troposphere; thereafter, the hail particles grow through the accretion of rain and cloud water by hail. The production rate for rain accretion by cloud ice or the accretion of cloud ice by rain to form hail particles is very low. The airflow flows at the front lower level of the storm, and the two weak updrafts of the multicell phase constantly combine. In the linear convection and squall line phases, the inflow of the low layer is weakened, while that of dry and cold air is evident in the middle and high layers. The air flow strongly increases in the squall line phase and flows forward at the upper level. The warm and humid air lifted by the updrafts meets with the dry and cold air flowing in from the middle and upper layers and condenses into cloud water or ice-phase particles, releasing a large amount of latent heat, which leads to the enhancement of the buoyancy force inside the clouds and promotes the strong rise of the airflow inside the clouds, and more cloud water and ice-phase particles will be generated. The melting of snow and hail particles absorbs large amounts of latent heat, causing the melting layer to rise. Therefore, a large amount of supercooled rain forms in the squall line phase, increasing the production rate for rain accretion by snow to form more hail particles. The low-level downdraft is enhanced by the strong drag of the water material caused by the fall of large hail particles. Downdraft causes evaporation of rainwater at lower levels, forming cold pools near the surface by the cooling effect, which enhances convection with latent heat heating at higher levels. Therefore, it positively feeds back to the meridional circulation. The vertical updraft resulting from the circulation promotes the water vapor in the lower layers to rise above the melting layer and condense into supercooled water and snow particles, while the vertical downdraft promotes snow and hail to melt into rainwater and evaporate below the melting layer and then positively feeds back to the thermal environment within the cloud. This repetition produces hail and heavy precipitation.
