| Abstract | During the mei-yu period, the east edge of the Tibetan Plateau and the Dabie Mountain are two main sources of eastward-moving mesoscale vortices along the mei-yu front (MYF). In this study, an eastward-moving southwest vortex (SWV) and an eastward-moving Dabie vortex (DBV) during the mei-yu period of 2010 have been investigated to clarify the main similarities and differences between them. The synoptic analyses reveal that the SWV and DBV were both located at the lower troposphere; however, the SWV developed in a “from top down” trend, whereas the DBV developed in an opposite way. There were obvious surface closed low centers corresponding to the DBV during its life span, whereas for the SWV, the closed low center only appeared at the mature stage. Cold and warm air intersected intensely after the formation of both the vortices, and the cold advection in the SWV case was stronger than that in the DBV case, whereas the warm advection in the DBV case was more intense than that in the SWV case. The Bay of Bengal and the South China Sea were main moisture sources for the SWV, whereas for the DBV, in addition to the above two moisture sources, the East China Sea was also an important moisture source. The vorticity budget indicates that the convergence was the most important common factor conducive to the formation, development, and maintenance of the SWV and DBV, whereas the conversion from the vertical vorticity to the horizontal one (tilting) was the most important common factor caused the dissipation of both of the vortices. The kinetic energy (KE) budget reveals that the KE generation by the rotational wind was the dominant factor for the enhancement of KE associated with the SWV, whereas for the DBV, the KE transport by the rotational wind was more important than the KE generation. The KE associated with the SWV and the DBV weakened with different mechanisms during the decaying stage. Furthermore, the characteristics of baroclinic and barotropic energy conversions during the life spans of both vortices indicate that the SWV and DBV both belong to the kind of subtropical mesoscale vortices. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
