Abstract:By using the conventional ground and high-altitude observations, the CMORPH blended precipitation and the high-resolution NASA MERRA reanalysis datasets (with spatial resolution of 0.625°×0.5ånd temporal resolution of three hours), the synoptic-dynamic diagnosis were performed on the process of plateau shear line during 29-30 June 2016. The formation of the shear line and the related precipitation were analyzed by multi-physical quantities involve the generalized potential temperature, the generalized moist potential vorticity and the vortex generation parameter, etc. Results indicate that the great value area of generalized potential temperature gradient is coincident with the region where water vapor accumulated. The formation and development of shear line precipitation is connected with the distribution and evolution of generalized moist potential vorticity, and positive low-level generalized moist potential vorticity anomaly always accompanies the occurrence of precipitation. In addition, there is a close spatial relationship between the zero line of generalized moist potential vorticity and the plateau shear line, and the intensity of the generalized moist potential vorticity center may indicate the development of shear line. Moreover, the vortex generation parameter can be regarded as a significant precursory signal for the building and strength of the plateau shear line.
