Interesting development in SE China (ended)

[Simone Lussardi]

Hi everybody,

We got an interesting set-up in Sern China today. This is from 08:00 AM local time, things are going to change very rapidly as the day heat build up. Dews are in order of 25C, with constant deep sfc flow from the SSE well inland.

Look at this:

Bye, :wink:

Ooops, got a cell developing too early to my SW (I am at the edge of the gulf in the middle).

Anyway seems this is not hindering the heat development quite much, as now I record:

Mostly cloudy skies
T: 87F
Dew: 73F
Ur: 62%

:wink:

Wow...very interesting too see storms in that area...i usually only hear about the weather in the USA. Very cool!!! :shock:

Interesting but I don't think I will chase that one. :lol:

Hi,

This zone of China is a miny alley, both for supercellular storms (with hailstorms and tornadoes) from March to late May and typhoon-spawned tornadoes from July to October.

Anyway, this storm is getting organized :shock:

Definitely not, is too early and is only rain and maybe hail. :?

The attached image has been captured on a supercell on April 25th that lasted for hours and crossed the entire radar from W-NW to E-SE (with SW flow aloft.... so right deviating) and devasted several locations with hail and very high wind, and flooded many others.

That was more interesting...

Just when I thought I'd seen everything, I find a freakin' NOW thread on Stormtrack for southern CHINA -- and a chaser down there gearing up to go. This truely is a wonderful website.

That morning storm ruined the games, but now the anvil prp are helping the atmosphere to get even more humid (dews increasing !!).

Is clearing now, if the sun come out we'll see more action coming up at noon. New storms building about everywhere.

PS: I am right in the center of this radar.

Now, that's "the" storm:

The south edge of the anvil extend up to my head (the center of the radar). Of course I am referring to the nice developed hook.

:lol:

Simone,

Can you supply a Web URL to those (and presumably other RDA sites) WSR-98D images?

Simone,

Can you supply a Web URL to those (and presumably other RDA sites) WSR-98D images?

Yes:

Reflectivity:
http://www.grmc.gov.cn/tqsk/gzrad_r.asp

Base velocity:
http://www.grmc.gov.cn/tqsk/gzrad_v.asp

Radar of HK (reflectivity only):
http://www.weather.gov.hk/wxinfo/radars/radar.htm

Unfortunately that's it... :?
Maybe in the future they will improve the radar system. Sometimes (when very serious conditions appears) they publish other radar images, zoomed very in detail and with very high quality, also with some warning marks drawn on the base map.

:wink:

Wow.

Nice to see that almost every country's government supplies free radar images......except the UK. :? Noooo.....us British have to "guess" what's around the corner......if you want anything more detailed than dumbed-down TWC (minus satellite and radar) info you're out of luck.

Anyway China is very sensitive to weather, since it is strike constantly every year by severe weather during the spring and summer.

I read somewhere they are going to extend radar nationwide.

:wink:

That program is well underway, the CINRAD network, comrpised of WSR-98Ds supplied by Lockheed Martin. These are very similar to WSR-88Ds, with similar RDA and OPRG systems. A similar network was installed in Romania, giving that county the most advanced European radar network (these are S-band radars).

Thanks for the confirmation ! And thanks for the PDF, saved and reading now. If you find any link about this pls post it, as I will if I find... with my poor chinese I'll try to translate some chinese docs.

Anyway, better I call some friend and tell them to stay at home tomorrow :lol: :lol: :lol: :shock:
