摘要
The relative importance of topography and soil moisture on the initiation of an afternoon deep convection under weak synoptic-scale forcing was investigated using the weather research and forecasting (WRF) model with high resolution (1.33 km). The convection occurred on 29 June 2017, over the Liupan Mountains, west of the Loess Plateau. The timing and location of the convective initiation (CI) simulated by the WRF model compared well with the radar observations. It showed that the warm and humid southerly airflow under 700 hPa was divided into east and west flows due to the blockage of the Liupan Mountains. The warm and humid air on the west side was forced to climb along the slope and enhanced the humidity near the ridge. The accumulation of unstable energy in the middle and north of the ridge led to a strong vertical convergence and triggered the convection. Sensitivity experiments showed that terrain played a dominant role in triggering the convection, while the spatial heterogeneity of soil moisture played an indirect role by affecting the local circulation and the partition of surface energy.
