Abstract:Based on ECMWF 0.25°×0.25° reanalysis data, the conceptual model of severe convection in central and western Zhejiang was applied , then a diagnostic analysis and experience summary of a severe convection process dominated by thunderstorm gale event that occurred in the West-Central of Zhejiang Province on 21 March 2019 (hereinafter referred to as the "3.21" gale event) were made. Results are as follows: the synoptic situation of the "3.12"gale event meets the concept severe convective model of frontogenesis and shear category in the West-Central of Zhejiang Province. There exists an abnormally strong southwest jet pulsating at 700 hPa with convergence of cold and warm air features at 850 hPa. Also, the low surface pressure accompanied with a warm inverted trough develops intensively and significantly strengthening of wet tongue. T-lnP diagram shows the configuration of dry in the high and humid air in the low level with significantly dry intrusion in the middle troposphere, several instability indices, such as the Iw index, the value of CAPE and vertical wind shear below 500 hPa, are significantly strong. Comparing with different types of severe convective weather, it is found that there are different key points to better forecast the disaster-causing event, and setting threshold may improve the efficiency of forecasting and warning. For example, for the thunderstorm gale events the Iw index is more than 18.5 m·s-1, CAPE is more than 1 700 J·kg-1 and the relative humidity at 500 hPa is less than 40%. Nevertheless, for the hailstorm events the height of 0 ℃ layer and -20 ℃ layer are lower than 4.6 km and 7.6 km , and temperature difference between 850 hPa and 500 hPa is higher than 26 ℃. Therefore, a profound understanding of this type of severe convective concept model is the key point to realize such catastrophic severe convective potential forecast well.
