Abstract:By using the conventional intensive observational data and sounding data of Changsha, the impact and the cause of formation of low temperature, rain, snow, sleet disasters process in Hunan from mid-January to mid-February 2008 were analyzed.Results show that the establishment, collapse and reconstruction of the blocking high in the high-latitude caused the cold air which was guided by the front of the vortex of the Ochotsk Sea to move southward continuously.Its the atmospheric circulation background which caused the cold temperature, rain, snow and freezing process. The persistent freezing occurs when the plentiful water vapor which was brought from the strong southwest stream on the Southern Branch front zone was combined with the southward cold air which came from the Northern Branch front zone. When freezing formed, the changes of the stream thickness had closely related to the temperature inversion intensity, the thickness of melted layer, the temperature of warming layer, the thickness of cooling layer, the intensity of 700 hPa southwest airflow, the daily average temperature and daily rainfall. When the low groove of South Branch split eastward, the strong moisture convergence in the lower southwest gale core was combined with the cold air which was brought by blocking high collapse and horizontal groove translated into vertical rotation to provide the dynamic, water vapor and condensatin conditions for the large range blizzard in the south.
