HELICITY ANALYSIS FOR HIGH-WIND AND UNCOMMONRAINSTORM PROCESSES OVER YUNNANIN EARLY SUMMER

XU Mei-ling; DUAN Xu; SUN Ji-hua

Abstract:

Helicity was applied to analyze several high-wind and rainstorm processes, which occurred from May to June, 2001 over Yunnan in early summer. The results of diagnostic analyses show that the rainstorm occurs in the area in which hp is positive at 700 hPa and energy is unstable. The change of helicity can reflect the movement and development of synoptic system and the position and intensity of the rainstorm. The value of hp is a negative center at the upper level and a positive at the lower level over the rainstorm position; moreover it can reflect the characteristics of vertical distribution and rotational motion.
