The atmospheric flow field and weather processes exhibit complex and variable characteristics at small scales, involving interactions between terrain features and atmospheric physics. To investigate the mechanisms of these process further, this study employs a Lagrangian particle motion model combined with a Euler background field approach to construct a small-scale atmospheric flow field model. The model streamlines the modeling process by combining the benefits of the Lagrangian dynamics model and the Eulerian integration scheme. To verify the effectiveness of the Euler–Lagrange hybrid model, experiments using the Fluent wind field model were conducted for comparison. The results show that both models have their advantages in handling terrain-induced wind fields. The Fluent model excels in simulating the general characteristics of wind fields under specific terrain, while the Euler–Lagrange hybrid model is better at capturing the upstream and downstream disturbances of the terrain on the atmospheric flow field. These findings provide powerful tools for in-depth diagnostic analysis of atmospheric flow simulation and convective precipitation processes. Notably, the Euler–Lagrange hybrid model demonstrates excellent computational efficiency, with an average computation time of approximately 2 s per time step in a Python environment, enabling rapid simulation of 40 time steps within approximately 90 s.

With global warming and intensified human activities, extreme convective precipitation has become one of the most frequent natural disasters. An accurate and reliable assessment of severe convective precipitation events can support social stability and economic development. In order to investigate the accuracy enhancement methods and data fusion strategies for the assessment of severe convective precipitation events, this study is driven by the horizontal reflectance factor (ZH) and differential reflectance (ZDR) of the dual-polarization radar. This research work utilizes microphysical information of convective storms provided by radar variables to construct the precipitation event assessment model. Considering the problems of high dimensionality of variable data and low computational efficiency, this study proposes a dual-polarization radar echo-data-layering strategy. Combined with the results of mutual information (MI), this study constructs Bayes–Kalman filter (KF) models (RF, SVR, GRU, LSTM) for the assessment of severe convective precipitation events. Finally, this study comparatively analyzes the evaluation effectiveness and computational efficiency of different models. The results show that the data-layering strategy is able to reduce the data dimensions of 256 × 256 × 34,978 to 5 × 2213, which greatly improves the computational efficiency. In addition, the correlation coefficient of interval III–V calibration period is increased to 0.9, and the overall assessment accuracy of the model is good. Among them, the Bayes–KF-LSTM model has the best assessment effect, and the Bayes–KF-RF has the highest computational efficiency. Further, five typical precipitation events are selected for validation in this study. The stratified precipitation dataset agrees well with the near-surface precipitation, and the model’s assessment values are close to the observed values. This study completely utilizes the microphysical information offered by dual-polarized radar ZH and ZDR in precipitation event assessment, which provides a wide range of application possibilities for the assessment of severe convective precipitation events.

Complex terrain features such as mountains and hills can obstruct the airflow and force upward motion, thereby altering local atmospheric circulation patterns. During the rainy season, these terrain characteristics are more prone to causing intense local precipitation, leading to geological hazards such as floods and debris flows. These phenomena are closely linked to the intricate influence of terrain on wind fields, highlighting the necessity for in-depth research into wind field characteristics under complex terrain conditions. To address this, we propose a neural-network-based model leveraging terrain data and horizontal wind speed data to predict atmospheric motion characteristics and terrain uplift effects in specific terrain conditions. To enhance the generalization ability of the model, we innovatively extract key physical information from the horizontal wind vector data as training parameters. By comparing with the results of the Fluent model, we validate the model’s capability in dynamic downscaling and flow field modeling. Experimental outcomes demonstrate that our model can generate terrain-adapted convective warning data with a high accuracy, even when terrain features are altered. Under unoptimized conditions, the results at a maximum resolution of 50 m require only 26 s, and the computation time can be further reduced with algorithmic improvements. This research on adaptive wind field modeling under complex terrain conditions holds significant implications for local wind field simulation and severe convective weather forecasting.

The intensification of global climate change has led to an increased frequency of extreme rainfall and temperature events, posing severe threats to China’s ecosystems and socio-economic systems. This study, based on multi-year daily precipitation, monthly surface air temperature, and daily near-surface temperature datasets, employs multi-year averaging, EOF mode analysis, Mann–Kendall testing, and R/S analysis. By selecting heavy-rain days, rainfall amount, rainfall intensity, and drought indices, it explores the spatiotemporal evolution and driving mechanisms of extreme rainfall, drought, and compound events across China. The analysis of extreme rainfall reveals that precipitation in China shows a “more in the southeast, less in the northwest; abundant in the southeast, sparse in the northwest” pattern. EOF analysis identifies two spatial modes for rainfall parameters, the “Eastern Coordination Mode” and the “North–South Antiphase Mode,” corresponding to heavy rainfall days, rainfall amount, and rainfall intensity. The Mann–Kendall test shows that some regions in the eastern monsoon zone have experienced a significant increase in heavy rainfall parameters, while certain areas in the northeast, southern China, and northwest have also undergone significant changes. By contrast, parts of the southwest have seen a decrease. R/S analysis reveals that the Hurst index is high in the eastern monsoon region, indicating a strong likelihood of continued upward trends in the future, while regions in the western arid and semi-arid zones and parts of the Tibetan Plateau exhibit stronger randomness in trends, leading to more alternating drought and flood events. The analysis of the drought index (SPI-3) reveals synchronized drought patterns in the central-eastern and northern regions, with “synergistic consistency,” “Northwest–Northeast Antiphase,” and “Northern–Central-South Antiphase” characteristics. The Mann–Kendall test indicates a “north-wet, south-dry” differentiation, with significant wetting in the northern regions and parts of the Tibetan Plateau, and significant drying in the central-eastern and southwestern regions. R/S analysis shows high Hurst indices across most of the northwest and northern regions, indicating stronger drought persistence, while coastal areas in the east are more prone to dry–wet transitions. In terms of compound events, high-temperature and heavy rainfall events have increased from northwest to southeast over the past 40 years, with southern China experiencing more than 200 days of such events. Significant changes have been observed in the eastern and southern coastal regions, with high Hurst indices and strong persistence in the eastern coastal areas. Low-temperature and heavy rainfall events are more frequent in the eastern coast and southwestern regions, with higher Hurst indices in the eastern and central regions, indicating strong persistence.
