Abstract:By using lightning localization data, Doppler radar data and satellite data, the characteristics of ground flash and the formation of strong winds in a squall line weather process occurred in Shandong on 13 June 2016 were analyzed. Results show that: the process occurs under the influence of the Northeast cold vortex, the atmosphere is cold above and warm below, and with the gradual instability of the stratification and the accumulation of unstable energy, a strong convective storm is triggered in a deep vertical wind shear environment and then organized into a squall line. Negative ground flash dominates the entire squall line, accounting for 89.25% of the total number of ground flashes; at the maturity stage of the squall line, the maximum flash peak occurs at 5-10 minutes after the negative ground flash frequency reachs the maximum peak; the ground flash mainly occurs in the echo-to-mature phase, which occurs mostly in the strong echo region of >45 dBZ; the positive flash mainly occurs in the stages of mature to dissipated phase of the squall line; when the TBB reach the lowest value, the squall line reaches the strongest. At the peak stage, the frequency of the ground flash reach its peak. The potential of the maximum wind speed calculated by WINDEX is close to the observed maximum surface wind speed; the ground windy stage corresponds to the intense lightning activity, the strongest moment of the severe weather such as hailstorm and the peak time of the positive flash Consistently, this provides a certain reference value for monitoring and warning of severe weather.
