circulation and the development process of thunderstorm were analyzed. Simulation results indicated that the valley breeze prevailed after sunrise and converged on the mountaintop, which might provide uplift airflow and water vapor conditions for the formation of initial convection; third, a TOPO experiment (see Table 2) revealed that the complex topography (the Yellow Mountain) played a significant role in determining the amount and locations of the precipitation. On flat terrain, the main effects were local disturbance weakening without strong topographic convergence and lifting of wind and water vapor associated with the valley wind. In contrast, the CNTL showed stronger vertical mixing, raising the moisture, increasing potential temperature disturbance, and accumulating convective instability energy, which was conducive to the growth of convective clouds; finally, other three sensitivity tests with uniform grassland (GRASS), mixed forests (FOREST), and bare soil (DESERT) were conducted. Among the impacts of land use changes, both the thermal and momentum transport were significant for the localized thunderstorm. When covered by grassland, there were less sensible heating and lower moisture, leading to the PBL height decreasing and vertical lifting weakening, which tended to cause more stable atmosphere and less rainfall on the mountaintop. When covered by mixing forests, only small dif- ferences presented in simulated meteorological fields (e.g., wind fields, moisture, cloud water mixing ratio, precipitation, and other fields). In DESERT experiment, the latent heating was more important in influencing the process of thunderstorm. There were less latent heating and lower accumulated water vapor compared to other experiments, causing vertical lifting weakening, stability of atmosphere increasing, and precipitation reducing.
It shows topography and land cover contribute to cloud cover in mountains.
