In 2022, a record-breaking DBR attacked South China, causing disastrous flooding. We suggest that this extreme DBR was jointly regulated by the tropical convective forcing and Tibetan Plateau (TP) heating. Distinctly strong low-level southwesterlies and ascending motions over South China were the key atmospheric conditions. And the abnormal low-level southwesterlies were contributed by both the anomalous anticyclone over the western North Pacific and the anomalous westerlies at the southern side of the TP. On the one hand, during the period of 2022 DBR, stronger-than-normal convective forcing over the Maritime Continent induced the low-level anomalous anticyclone over the western North Pacific through triggering the meridional vertical circulation and further promoted the upward motions over South China. On the other hand, positive diabatic heating over the TP forced abnormal warm anticyclone in the mid-upper troposphere, more warm air advected downstream by the background westerlies, intensifying the upward motions over South China. Meanwhile, the TP heating could induce the anomalous low-level westerlies at the southern side of the TP, which further merged into and intensified the southwesterlies over South China and greatly enhanced the moisture transport and convergence there. Therefore, we highlight the strong thermal forcing over the TP, exerting a combined and amplified effect with the convective forcing over the Maritime Continent, dominated the record-breaking DBR in 2022.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8556,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Atmospheric Sciences","volume":"60 4","pages":"1 - 14"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140149467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Of these, strong winds deserve a special attention, as they often induce windage yaw discharge of transmission lines and even toppling of transmission towers, resulting in serious economic losses. On 28 June 2023, a severe tripping incident of transmission line appears in Eastern Inner Mongolia due to strong winds. In this study, we conduct comprehensive analyses to clarify the favorable background conditions and governing mechanisms for producing the strong winds. Main results are shown as follows. Synoptic analysis indicates that, the favorable background environments for the event are characterized by a strong upper-level jet associated upper tropospheric divergence; an intense middle-level warm advection ahead of a shortwave trough; and a long-lived lower-tropospheric mesoscale vortex. The strong winds that cause the tripping incident mainly occur in the southeastern quadrant of the vortex. Vorticity budget presents that the period from the mesoscale-vortex’s formation to 4 h before is crucial to the mesoscale vortex, as cyclonic vorticity increases rapidly mainly due to the lower-level convergence-related vertical stretching. In contrast, the horizontal transport mainly results in a net export of cyclonic vorticity, which is the most detrimental factor. Kinetic energy (KE) budget shows that, after the mesoscale vortex forms, the strong winds within its southeastern quadrant enhance rapidly. Overall, the positive work done by the pressure gradient force associated with the mesoscale vortex dominates the enhancement of strong winds; the horizontal transport of KE is the second dominant factor, and the vertical transport of KE (i.e., the downward momentum transportation) shows the least contribution.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8556,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Atmospheric Sciences","volume":"60 3","pages":"289 - 302"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s13143-024-00352-w.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139927891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous studies extensively reported the susceptibility of the runways at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) to significant wind shear events.

The pilot report data obtained from HKIA between 2017 and 2021 was employed for the training and evaluation of the TPE-tuned LCE model. The outcomes of the TPE-tuned LCE model were also compared to those of other contemporary machine learning (ML) models. The findings indicated that the TPE-tuned LCE model exhibited better predictive performance in comparison to other models, as assessed by a mean absolute error (MAE) of 4.38 knots, a mean squared error (MSE) of 70.28 knots, a root mean squared error (RMSE) of 8.38 knots, and coefficient of determination (<i>R</i><sup>2</sup>) value of 0.79.

This study focuses on analyzing the concentration of lightning in southern Seoul, which occurred solely on August 8. It is worth noting that the daily rainfall of August 8 was approximately twice that of August 9 (381 mm on August 8 vs. 198 mm on August 9). The RKSG (located in Yongin, 40 km south of Seoul) Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler was used to explore the characteristics of cloud microphysics associated with lightning activity. Four major heavy rain periods on August 8 were grouped into three categories of lightning rate (e.g., intense, moderate, and none), and their polarimetric signatures were compared. Significant differences in the vertical distribution of graupel were found within the temperature range of 0 °C and − 20 °C, as indicated by radar reflectivity (Z<sub>H</sub>) &gt; 40 dBZ and differential reflectivity (Z<sub>DR</sub>) &lt; 0.5 dB. Although graupel was detected in all three categories at the relatively warm temperatures of 0 °C to − 10 °C, its presence extended into colder regions exclusively in the intense category. This observation preceded the appearance of lightning by approximately 6 min. At heights with temperature ≤  − 20 °C, a high concentration of vertically aligned ice crystals was observed in lightning-prone regions, leading to a decrease in differential phase (Φ<sub>DP</sub>). In summary, this study provides valuable insights into the microphysical characteristics of thunderstorms and their relationship to lightning activity in the Seoul metropolitan area.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8556,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Atmospheric Sciences","volume":"60 4","pages":"401 - 415"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s13143-023-00346-0.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138820980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
