Abstract:By using Micaps and NCEP reanalysis data, the wide-range strong thunderstorm occurred in southern Huaihe on July 3, 2012 was analyzed. Results show that the strong thunderstorms and multi-disaster weatherwere based on the following dynamic and thermodynamic conditions: the low convergence and upper divergence formed by the jet configuration at high and low level, the strengthening of the atmospheric instability stratification caused by the forerake of slot line from up to down, and convection triggerred by swinging of mesoscale shear line from south to north. The comparative analysis on satellite images, radar parameters and ground flashes characteristics indicates that lightning stoke, heavy rain and hail all occurred in different parts and periods during the development of strong convective clouds, whose features, intensity and range of evolution were also different. The echo intensity, echo top and vertical integrated liquid water content in hail area were the strongest, then lightning, finally heavy rain. Lightning accidents would happen in each period of ground flashes, which were mostly negative with strong intensity. Most ground flashes occurred in the period of heavy rain were weak and negative, and in the concentrated precipitation period, the flashes occurred frequently. Generally, the flash frequency decreased while the hails happened, and most of them were positive. The lightning intensity and steepness changed gently in lightning stroke area, while in hail area, their variation became obvious. Lightning stroke occurred when the flashes intensity and steepness were all relatively significant; the high intensity and steepness broke out half an hour before hail happened. Both the average intensity and steepness twnded to be the minimum during the heavy rain period.
