Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of meteorological data reprocessing, and in particular relates to a bow echo-associated convection early warning method. Background Art

[0002] A bow echo is a typical type of severe convective weather system, named for its bow-shaped structure on radar reflectivity images. Bow echoes can trigger extreme winds and may be accompanied by short bursts of heavy rainfall, hail, and even tornadoes. Therefore, they are a key focus in severe convective warnings and forecasts. Quasi-linear convective systems sometimes emerge upstream or downstream of a bow echo. These systems, closely related to the parent bow echo storm, are often referred to as bow echo-associated convection (hereinafter referred to as "associated convection"). The development mechanisms of this type of associated convection are complex, resulting in extremely low forecast accuracy (approximately 20%). They often bring hazardous weather such as hail and thunderstorms.

[0003] The mechanism of associated convection is complex. Foreign scholars believe that its occurrence and development are related to low-level convergence, such as Figure 1 As shown in (a), the triggering of the convection associated with the bow echo upstream is due to the convergence of the mesoscale convective vortex of the bow echo parent body and the environmental low-level jet upstream; while the triggering of the convection associated with the downstream is mainly caused by the convergence of the environmental front and the low-level jet downstream, as shown in (a). Figure 1 As shown in (b). However, due to significant differences in domestic climate and environmental characteristics compared to those abroad, the mechanisms for the occurrence and development of associated convection in China exhibit regional characteristics. Domestic scholars have suggested that the occurrence and development of bow echo-associated convection in my country is closely related to rapid changes in mid- and low-level vertical shear. For example, based on a case study of associated convection upstream of a bow echo in Anhui on June 5, 2016, it was suggested that the positive and negative vertical shear variations with altitude (i.e., the rapid vertical shear variation zone, hereinafter referred to as the variation zone) generated by the stacking of the low-level jet and the mesoscale convective vortex of the bow echo itself at different altitudes was a key trigger for associated convection. Further research based on a case study of associated convection downstream of a bow echo in the Bohai Bay on July 25, 2022, found that the anticyclonic vortex formed by the high-level outflow of the bow echo's parent storm modulated the downstream wind field, causing rapid changes in vertical shear, which in turn generated negative pressure disturbances and had a significant impact on the occurrence and development of associated convection downstream. Based on multi-sample simulation, the study further found that the change zone is widely present in the associated convection and has a certain indicative significance for the occurrence and development of the associated convection; the formation of the change zone is related to the interaction of multiple multi-scale elements at different altitudes, such as: the interaction between the northwest airflow behind the large-scale high-altitude trough and the southwest airflow at low altitude; the interaction of the non-uniform flow fields at different altitudes of the northeastern cold vortex, etc.

[0004] Although relevant research has made breakthrough progress, showing that the occurrence and development mechanism of associated convective systems in my country has significant regional characteristics, its triggering and evolution are mainly controlled by the rapid changes in vertical wind shear in the middle and low layers, while the contribution of the ground convergence field is relatively limited. However, the innovative theoretical system has not yet been mathematically implemented. The current numerical forecast analysis products are unable to characterize the key factors of rapid changes in vertical wind shear that affect the occurrence and development of associated convection. There is a lack of specialized diagnostic modules for the precursor signals triggered by such associated convection, resulting in the absence of precursor signals and the inability to provide forecasters with effective warning lead times. These technical bottlenecks directly lead to low forecast accuracy for associated convective systems, seriously restricting the warning capabilities of severe convective weather.

[0084] In addition, in this step, a nested list structure matching the spatial dimension of the input data needs to be created to store the output results such as the shear layer index range and trigger intensity value of each grid point.

[0085] S400: performing thermodynamic parameter coupling and verification on the screened shear rate sequence.

[0086] Thermal conditions include: energy condition - cumulative convective instability energy ≥ preset threshold; height condition - the height of the top layer of the shear rate sequence exceeds the free convection height. Therefore, this step specifically includes:

[0101] In this example, the effectiveness of the bow echo-associated convection warning method of the present invention is verified using two case studies: the upstream convection associated with the bow echo on June 5, 2016, and the downstream convection associated with the bow echo on June 13, 2018. The color-coded area represents the forecast combined reflectivity, and the grayscale scattered points represent the associated convection potential forecast product.

[0102] The case of convection associated with the bow echo upstream on June 5, 2016 shows that from 19:00 to 20:00, Figure 3 (a) and Figure 3 As shown in (b), the scattered convection behind the bow echo has a clear dissipation trend, while the potential forecast product represented by the scattered point distribution has an enhancement trend. Figure 3 (c) and Figure 3 As shown in (d), the convection behind the bow echo begins to reorganize and develop into a linear convection pattern, whose location coincides with the scattered point distribution between 7:00 PM and 8:00 PM. At this time, the convective potential represented by the scattered point distribution further intensifies. Therefore, it can be seen that the potential forecast product of the present invention has a predictive effect of approximately one hour on the occurrence and development of associated convection.

[0103] The case of convection associated with the bow echo downstream on June 13, 2018 shows that from 03:00 to 03:30, Figure 4 (a) and Figure 4 As shown in (b), during the bow echo system's eastward movement from Bohai Bay, there is a large-scale potential distribution downstream, indicating that the environment in the region is conducive to the triggering of associated convection. Figure 4 (c) and Figure 4As shown in (d), two linear convection currents are triggered downstream of the system, and the triggering locations are basically consistent with the potential forecast locations. This shows that the early warning method has a good early warning and forecast effect on the triggering of convection associated with the bow echo downstream.
