Abstract

Using the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University-National Center for Atmospheric Research(PSU/NCAR) Mesoscale Model(MM5 V3.5) and operational weather data,the heavy storm occurred on 17 April 2003 and the cold front rainfall occurred on 24~25 October 2002 in Shandong Province were successfully predicted.The data output from model,especially the quality content of ice(Qi),graupel(Qg),snow(Qs),cloud water(Qc) and rain water(Qr) calculated by Reisner explicit microphysical schemes were analyzed to describethe characteristics and evolvement of cloud microphysic structures in two cases.The results shown that the mecro-synoptic dynamic action and the vapor transfer process play a key role in the development of the rainfall.The opportunity of artificial seeding in different conditions was discussed.
