Abstract

Using ground meteorological observation data from 1961 to 2010, ERA-Interim reanalysis data from January 10 to February 15, 2008 and December 10 to 20, 2013 and terrain elevation data of digital elevation model(DEM), the relationships of Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau topography, position of Kunming quasi-stationary front(KQSF) and meteorological elements near the front were analyzed. The main results are as follows:(1) The Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is divided into the eastern and the western in Wumeng Mountains (103°E). The KQSF present frequency is 61.5% in the eastern area of Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, the frequency of the western region is 38.5%. Most of the activity of cold air is blocked in the eastern area of Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. Only a small part of the strong cold air activity can across Wumeng Mountains, and get into the western area of Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. The effect of plateau topography on cold air activity is significant. (2) There is a good correlation between the advance (retreat) of KQSF and the temperature and pressure field before (after) the frontline. The stronger the cold air mass after KQSF, the weaker the warm air mass before KQSF, the KQSF position is more westerly. On the contrary, the KQSF position is more easterly. The significant correlation is mainly reflected in the western area of Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. The effect of terrain reduced the correlation in the western area of Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. (3) Blocking effect of plateau topography makes cold air activities moving slowly, or even stagnation and leads to the formation of quasi stationary front. Uplift effect of plateau topography results in the formation of clockwise secondary circulation in local low layer, leading to the emergence of the inversion layer. Once the lifting effect is weakened when the cold air passes over the plateau, the inversion layer will disappear. (4) The zero line of zonal wind can describe the front position and the cold air mass thickness, which illustrates that the distribution of KQFS is quasi-North-South. And characteristics of cold air path is from east to west. (5)The potential height after front can indicate the thickness of the air mass. In the eastern part of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, the frontline position depends on the thickness of the cold air mass. In the eastern part, the frontline position depends on contrasted dynamics between the cold and warm air mass.

Key words： Yunnan-Guizhou Plate; Kunming quasi-statio; the frontline positi; air mass thickness; blocking and uplifti
