Abstract:Using the wind data supplied by Wind Profiler Radar products of Urumqi, hourly rainfall data and NECP/NCAR reanalysis data, the heavy rainfall process in Urumqi from 15:00 on 19th May to 4:00 on 20th May are thoro-uhly analyzed. The results indicate that the strong vertical ascending motion produced by the coordination betwe- en the upper-level jet stream and the low-level convergence zone triggered this heavy rainfall. The northwest jet st-ream quickly passed down 2 hours before the heavy rainfall,causing the enhancement of the low -level northwest jet stream, which is corresponding to the heavy rainfall,especially below 1500m. Low-level vertical ascending speed 2m/s ca-n be used as rainfall threshold. The rain would be heavier as the low-level vertical velocity became larger. During heavy rainfall phase the whole layer of atmospheric refractive index structure constant(RISC) value detection is between -128~-120dB, which shows that water vapor is abundant. The wind profiler radar products (vertical velocity, refractive index structure constant) reflect the beginning and end and strength of the precipitation clearly, provide reference for the refine forecast.
