阵风锋与海风碰撞形成的大气波涌及其在对流触发中的作用
An atmospheric bore formed from the collision between gust front and sea breeze and its role in the convection initiation
摘要
Abstract
This study examines an atmospheric bore formed from the collision between a gust front(GF)and a sea breeze(SB)over the Bohai sea coast of China during the night of June 12-13,2018,and discusses the role of atmospheric bore on upstream convection initiation(CI).Based on radar data,ground-based observations,and high-resolution numerical simulations,the findings indicate that the SB establishes a stable boundary layer(SBL)offshore,while the GF associated with the eastward-moving mesoscale convective system(MCS)undergoes a transformation due to their interaction.Initially characterized as a density current,the GF gradually evolves into a non-undular bore exhibiting gravity wave properties and eventually to an undular one.The undular bore then propagates within favorable trapping layers associated with the SB,lifting air parcels with high convective available potential energy(CAPE)within the SBL.This process initiates convection upstream and further sustains the MCS.Due to the widespread occurrence of GFs and SBs over the eastern coastal regions of China during the warm season,their interactions provide the possibility for bore formation under various boundary layer conditions,thereby playing a crucial role in the occurrence and development of intense convection both at night and during the daytime.关键词
