简介:利用常规观测资料和榆林多普勒雷达(CB)观测资料,分析2009年7月16—17日发生在陕北地区的大暴雨天气过程,结果表明:大暴雨发生时段,对应着低层偏东或东南气流风速增大后再减小的过程。当低层气流风速增大后再减小,中低层低空急流建立时出现强降水。暴雨区高空急流南侧强辐散形成的上升气流和中低空急流风速持续增加形成的上升气流的叠加耦合为大范围暴雨天气的产生创造了有利的上升运动条件。大暴雨出现在中尺度辐合线附近,中尺度辐合线为大暴雨的发生提供了充分的水汽和更多的不稳定能量,使水汽的上升和不稳定能量的释放集中在一个更小的区域,从而使得降水雨强比仅由高低空急流耦合形成的更大。上游西北气流侵入强迫抬升前方偏南暖湿气流促使中尺度辐合线产生,当高层西北气流侵入到低层海拔3km以下,暴雨天气结束。
