Abstract:By using GFS 0.5 ° x 0.5 ° reanalysis data, satellite data and Doppler radar, the torrential rain in Hong An on July 12th 2012 is analyzed, results show the complex terrain of the Dabie Mountain has significant effects on the increase of precipitation. “Influence of topographic on flow theory” provides a good explanation of the precipitation distribution. The southwest current is forced to lift by the special terrain in Hong An, and the continuously generation of "finger clouds" in the windward slope of the Dabie Mountain which promotes the backward transmission system effectively, extends the period of the heavy rain. The variation of radar radial velocity field shows that the cold and warm air channel between the Dabie Mountain and Tongpai Mountain plays an important role in the formation and development of the mesoscale system. By analyzing the radar echo characteristics, we find that the vertical stretching thickness and vertically integrated liquid water of the echo which is greater than 45 DBZ under 0 ℃ layer, has very good consistency with rainfall intensity.
