Often, the surrounding landscape can influence convection, especially in regions with dramatic elevation changes. The Yangtze river basin in China&#8217;s Jiangxi Province, which is surrounded by the Nanling Mountains, often experiences mesoscale convective systems (MCS) or squall line thunderstorms during the summer. These MCSs develop along the persistent mei-yu front, and often exhibit quickly developing parallel back-building, or training thunderstorms, resulting in torrential flooding. A research team led by Dr. Zhemin Tan, Professor at the School of Atmospheric Sciences of Nanjing University, analyzed the influences of the regional landscape that lead to consistent MCS back-building in the Yangtze river basin.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2021-04-landscape-back-building-thunderstorm-lines-mei-yu.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Landscape induced back-building thunderstorm lines along the mei-yu front<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thunderstorm development is not always dependent on atmospheric physics alone.
