Abstract

GPS radiosonde data observed in Ngoring Lake Basin in the summer of 2012 were used to investigate the vertical distribution of potential temperature, specific humidity and wind field in the atmosphere before and after the incursion of the cold, dry air, as well as the relation between them and the surface heat flux. The results showed that the depth of the convective boundary layer was less 100 m in Ngoring Lake during the daylight, before the incursion of cold, dry air, far lower than that over land, but it can reach 400~600 m at night. Along with the arrival of cold air, the convective boundary layer increased rapidly and reached above 2000 m at night, more than the depth of the boundary layer over land. During the incursion of the cold, dry air, the accumulated sensible heat flux over land fell, but rose over the lake. After cold air arriving, the vertical temperature difference increased rapidly over the lake and decreased sharply over land, and the accumulated sensible heat flux increased rapidly over the lake, along with enhancing of the wind speed and the wind shear, these factors provided plenty of power to the rapidly growth of convective boundary layer.
