Mechanisms of Convection Initiation in the Southwestern Xinjiang, Northwest China: A Case Study

The mechanism of convection initiation (CI) occurring in the Southwest Xinjiang, Northwest China is investigated using quantitative budget analysis of vertical momentum for the first time. The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model is used to reproduce and analyze the CI events. The observatio...
