通过对2002~2005年s波段多普勒天气雷达上旁瓣回波的分析,描述了其在基本反射率因子、径向速度、速度谱宽PPI图及反射率因子和径向速度垂直剖面图上的形态特征。在7次强对流事件的19个雹暴云中发现有6次强对流事件10个雹暴云共产生旁瓣回波110次(基于反射率因子仰角产品的统计)。统计结果表明:形成旁瓣回波最小反射率因子强度为60dBz,97.3%的旁瓣回波出现在反射率因子强度≥63dBz时,旁瓣回波出现在50~100km距离段内的机率最大;旁瓣回波出现的最大高度为11km,最低高度是1km,97.3%的旁瓣回波出现在1—9km高度之间,69.1%的旁瓣回波出现在3~6km高度之间,以4~5km高度出现次数最多,然后向上、向下减少。据灾情调查报告分析,强降雹发生在旁瓣回波首次出现后的0~42min内,表明旁瓣回波对强降雹具有一定的临近预警作用。
In this paper, by analyzing the hailstorm side-lobe echo from Changde S-band Doppler weather radar from 2002 to 2005, morphological characteristics of side-lobe echoes are depicted with regard to reflectivity, radial velocity, velocity spectral width PPI map and vertical cross-section of reflectivity and radial velocity. Among 19 hailstorm clouds during seven severe convective events, the side-lobe echoes are observed in 10 hailstorms during six of them. The results show the followings. (1) The echo intensity of side-lobe is proportional to the volume of high reflectivity. (2) For the side-lobe echoes observed, the minimum reflectivity is 60 dBZ and 97.3% of them appear with reflectivity greater than 63 dBz. (3) Side-lobe echoes usually occur within the radar range of 50 ~ 100 km. (4) 96.1% of the side-lobe echoes occur within the height between 3 and 6 kin. (5) Severe hails occur within 0 ~ 42 minutes after the first side-lobe echo appears, indicating that recognition of side-lobe echoes can help the warning of severe hail.
