Abstract
AbstractExtremely persistent heavy rainfall (EPHR) events frequently occur in southern China. The mechanisms underlying their generation and development are not well understood, and this leads to difficulties in accurately forecasting these events. In this paper, hourly precipitation grid data and ERA‐5 reanalysis data are used to examine the relationships between precipitation, ageostrophic winds, and low‐level jets (LLJ). The results suggest that ageostrophic winds in the boundary layer mainly exhibit confrontational and asymptotic convergence, with the former being accompanied by double LLJ, which transport more vapor and provide favorable uplift conditions, thus producing stronger precipitation and wider rainbands. The different cooperated relationships between LLJ and ageostrophic winds play an important role in the development of EPHR events, and greater account needs to be taken of these relationships when forecasting.
