Diabatically Driven Mesoscale Vortex in the Lee of the Tibetan Plateau.

摘要

Mesoscale cyclonic vortices at the eastern and southeastern flanks of the Tibetan Plateau, known as southwest vortices, are one of the most important types of rain-producing systems in China during the warm season. The thesis investigates the southwest vortex problem through a case-study approach, and focuses on the efect of the diabatic heating of possible formation and development of the vortex.
