Formation of a kind of heavy‐precipitation‐producing mesoscale vortex around the Sichuan Basin: An along‐track vorticity budget analysis

Abstract This study investigates the formation of a type of mesoscale vortex around the Sichuan Basin (i.e., the southwest vortex [SWV]) that usually induces heavy precipitation, based on a semi‐idealized simulation of eight similar SWV‐formation events. After producing a reasonable SWV that shares...
