This research aims to understand the mechanisms behind different types of extreme heavy rainfall events in northern China under similar atmospheric conditions.
Analyzed an extreme heavy rainfall event over northern China on July 15-16, 2024.
Investigated two stages: shear-line-dominated and vortex-dominated.
Conducted diagnostic analyses on moisture sources and dynamic triggers.
Utilized Lagrangian trajectory analysis to assess moisture pathways.
The first stage produced localized intense rainfall of approximately 148.3 mm/hour.
The second stage resulted in widespread precipitation with persistent hourly peaks.
Moisture sources differed: the first stage was oceanic, while the second involved moisture from the Northwest Pacific.
Dynamic triggers included convergence-related vertical stretching and divergence-induced shrinking.
