Abstract:Using conventional meteorological data, data of automatic meteorological stations and satellites, and NCEP FNL reanalysis data (1°×1°), a comparative analysis is conducted on Typhoon LEKIMA (2019) and TORAJI (2001) which affected Shandong Province with similar tracks, and the results are as follows. 1) There are significant differences in the distribution and intensity of rainstorms and the locations of tropical cyclones. 2) Typhoon rainstorms are complex in the middle latitudes. Though the typhoon precipitation increases obviously caused by the topography, it is mainly related to the differences in typhoon structure and intensity. 3) There is no inevitable connection between the maximum hourly precipitation and typhoon intensity. The duration of heavy precipitation is an important factor for the distinct cumulative precipitation between LEKIMA and TORAJI. 4) The significant differences in circulation patterns are important reasons for different duration and precipitation in Shandong Province caused by the two typhoons. 5) The distinct water vapor transport conditions account for the obvious difference in precipitation distribution between LEKIMA and TORAJI, and the dynamic conditions are obviously different as well. 6) CAPE (convective available potential energy) performs differently in the two typhoons heavy rain.
