The role of low-level jet and its cause of diurnal variation during the"6·13"heavy rainfall process in Guangxi
Based on observation data and ERA5 reanalysis data,an analysis and diagnosis of thes"6·13"heavy rainfall process in Guangxi in 2022 were conducted,with a focus on the role of diurnal variation and its cause of low-level jet.The results show that the heavy rainfall process is jointly influenced by the upper level trough,the low-level shear line and the southwest low-level jet.The low-level jet weakens during the day and significantly strengthens at night,with convective systems continuously developing at the top of the jet and the south of the shear line,resulting in heavy rainfall mainly concentrated at night.The extreme heavy rainfall appears during the merging stage of mesoscale convective cloud clusters,located in the large TBB(Top Blackbody Brightness tem-perature)gradient region.The convergence in the left front of the low-level jet at night and the obstruction of mountain topography together enhance the low-level convergence and promote the development of upward move-ment.The intensification of low-level jet at night causes the intense convergence of warm and cold air in the north-eastern region of Guangxi,resulting in the enhancement of low-level horizontal frontogenesis forcing,which is con-ducive to the maintenance and intensification of precipitation.Under the continuous warm and humid transport of the low-level jet,the unstable structure in the lower atmosphere is significantly enhanced,which provides a favora-ble environment for the development and maintenance of convective systems and heavy rainfall.In addition,the low-level jet promotes the water vapor convergence and uplift in the northeastern region of Guangxi at night,which corresponds well with the heavy rainfall area.The diagnosis of momentum balance shows that inertial oscillation is the main mechanism causing the diurnal variation of low-level jet.The Coriolis force at night dominated the mo-mentum change of the geostrophic wind,which rotates clockwise to form the southwest wind and superimposes with the background wind field to strengthen the low-level jet.The daytime turbulent friction is enhanced and the residual and advection terms jointly dissipate local momentum.
