This study used multi-scale transform and positive
pressure perturbation method to simplify the barotropic quasi-geostrophic
vorticity equation. For a class of cosine type shear, analyzes the influence of
shear westerly on Rossby solitary wave that has nonlinear Shrӧdinger envelope
soliton characteristics, and studied the topology of the westerly with nonlinear
Shrӧdinger envelope soliton wave pattern. The results show that: (1) The key to
the formation of cut-off low pressure is the bifurcation of westerly shear. The
shear is not only the source of the envelope Rossby solitary wave, but also
leads to the change of the structural characteristics of the westerly flow
field. The essence of difference between different flow patterns is the
structural change that is caused by bifurcation. It indicates that there exists
a critical value for shear, which changes the topology of westerly. The topology
of westerly has no singular points, only a degenerate central structure, and
the corresponding westerly is a zonal flow, when the shear is less than this
critical value. There are singular points, and vortices are generated in the
westerly, when the shear is greater than this critical value. (2) For the
vortices pattern of westerly, it exhibits different flow patterns, if the
location of the singular points varies. The westerly presents an Ω shaped
blocking flow field, when the singularity point appears only in the northern
part of the system. The westerly presents an inverted Ω shaped cut-off flow
field, when the singularity point appears only in the southern part of the
system. And the westerly presents a dipole blocking flow field, when singular
points appear in both the north and south. (3) There are cut-off low-pressure in
both the inverted Ω type field and the dipole blocking flow field. It is a Northeast
Cold Vortex, if the cut-off low-pressure forms near the Ural Mountains and
moves downstream to the northeast region of China. Based on the blocking
situation as the source of the Northeast Cold Vortex, the formation mechanism
of the Northeast Cold Vortex is discussed with both the board view (westerly
shear) and local characteristics (Rossby solitary wave) considered, and thus
deepens the understanding of the formation of the Northeast Cold Vortex.
