Research on Heavy Rainfall in Southern Xinjiang:Scientific Knowledge and Research Advances
The southern Xinjiang is a typical arid region with complex topography and subsurface,a fragile ecological environment,and exceptional sensitivity to climate change.Against the background of global warming,the frequency and intensity of heavy rainfall in southern Xinjiang have increased significantly in recent years,and causing widespread concern in society.This paper mainly reviews the scientific knowledge,and the latest research advances of heavy rainfall in southern Xinjiang,which is characterized by high precipitation concentration,high relative intensity,high extremity and uneven spatial distribution.The research on heavy rainfall in southern Xinjiang has gone through a stage from individual cases of the heavy rainfall to the development and application of multi-scale interaction mechanism and numerical simulation.At present,new scientific understanding has been achieved in the important influencing weather systems and water vapor transport of heavy rainfall in southern Xinjiang.Finally,we discussed the future research on heavy rainfall in arid region,with a view to carrying on the past and providing an innovative basis for future research on heavy rainfall in southern Xinjiang.
