Abstract:Based on conventional weather data, automatic station data, Jiangxi WebGIS radar mosaic, wind profile radar and other data, the echo evolution characteristics and formation mechanism of local extreme gale occurred on May 9, 2020 in Guangfeng district, Shangrao, Jiangxi Province were studied by using synoptic and echo analysis methods. Results show that:(1) the extreme strong wind of 35.5 m·s-1 at the national meteorological observatory in Guangfeng district is the historical extreme since the establishment of the station; (2) Jiangxi has obvious upper level divergence in the upper atmosphere, combined with strong convergence in the upper trough and lower levels, and the stratification conditions of dry, cold, and warm, wet above, providing good dynamic conditions for the development of storms; (3) the extremely windy weather in Guangfeng district is caused by the merging of single echo A and single echo B into supercell echo and then developing into bow echo structure; (4) the impact of strong winds on the eastern corridor of Jiangxi is very obvious; when extreme winds pass through, they have the characteristics of rising atmospheric pressure, increasing precipitation, sudden changes in wind direction, significant changes in wind speed, and a decrease in temperature and dew point; (5) the sudden reversal of wind direction and sudden increase in wind speed at low altitudes above 1 000 m on the wind profile radar is a signal of strong ground winds. The research results provide analytical methods and reference basis for monitoring and warning of such local strong winds.
