convergence. Consequently a strong updraft will erect right above this region.<br />

From 5krn to 15km height to the front side of updraft, a strong wind component<br />

blowing southeastward (northwest wind 16m/sec) was observed, while only about<br />

9m/sec north-west wind at this level was observed on the rear side. Obviously, an<br />

outflow region was located above updraft center.<br />

The development <strong>and</strong> maintance of these long-lived convective precipitation<br />

systems <strong>and</strong> its unique structure to interact with its larger scale environment will<br />

be pursued in the future. The difference between mid-latitude supercell <strong>and</strong> this<br />

kind of long-lived cell within Mei-Yu frontal zone will be a very interesting research<br />

topic.<br />
