Abstract:The diurnal variation of precipitation in Sichuan Basin is very distinctive, and the saying "Bashan Night Rain" has existed in ancient times, but the research on the difficulties in the study of the diurnal variation of topographic heavy precipitation and the diurnal variation of disastrous mountain rainstorm is still rare. In this paper, several recent advances in the field of mountain rainstorm events in Sichuan are reviewed from the perspectives of climatic characteristics, spatio-temporal fine distribution (including dependence on altitude) and synthesis characteristics, and dynamic-thermal structures and topographic effects, the transport of water vapor by boundary layer jets, the role of surface and atmospheric heat sources, the Synchronous contribution of the Southwest Vortex, the evolution of mesoscale convective systems (MCSs), and the impact of topographic gravity waves. Finally, some important issues that still exist were pointed out, and looked forward to the main research directions in the future.
