Abstract

A continuous rainstorm occurred in Guizhou Province from June 24th to June 28th 2012 is analyzed using NCEP data of 1°×1° with 6-hour interval, FY-2E satellite image and automatic observation station data. The results show that: Stable circulation in Europe-Asia at mid-high latitudes and the water vapor from Bay of Bengal and South China Sea provided beneficial conditions for the occurrence and development of the rainstorm. The easterly Southwest China Vortex (SWCV) and the Yun-Gui vortex system which is born in Yunnan-Guizhou plateau couple to strengthen, which causes a heavy rain in Guizhou Province. In the process of rainstorm, the water vapor transport from the southern border of two vortexes makes the greatest contribution to the rainfall, but the water vapor transport from the western border is more important at the early stage of two vortexes development. The mesoscale convective complexes appear in Guizhou Province during the two vortexes approaching and rainfall areas are located in the center of low black body temperature (TBB) areas and high TBB gradient areas. In addition, the persistence and intensity of the precipitation have close relationship with the development and merger of two vortexes. The high generalized moist potential temperature areas and high generalized moist potential temperature gradient areas also can reflect the location of the rainfall zones on the ground.
