Abstract

Meteorological processes are investigated during the development of deep convective clouds over the Yellow Sea inside a quasi‐stationary rainy front in the East Asian region. WRF‐Chem simulations were conducted to assess the effects of aqueous‐phase chemistry on the concentrations of PM2.5 and hydrometers in deep convective clouds and the associated precipitation. A reduction in the south‐north air temperature gradient induced an inactive quasi‐stationary rainy front with nonlinear zonal clouds during the Changma period in the East Asian region in 2017, causing intensified surface heating due to solar radiation. A mesoscale cyclone was formed near the Shantung Peninsula inside the inactive quasi‐stationary rainy front, extending the eastward tongue of the troughs across the Yellow Sea. Deep convective clouds (CC16 on July 16, CC17 on July 17, and CC18 on July 18) formed in a severe mode on the east side of the mesoscale cyclone over the Yellow Sea at midnight as the warm type, as the warm and humid south‐southwesterly winds present at that time produced convection energy. PM2.5 from eastern China flowed into warm‐type CC16, CC17, and CC18 areas, producing more cloud droplets below 500 hPa via activation. In contrast, the release of additional condensation heat amplifies updrafts within convective clouds during efficient nighttime environmental cooling, thereby enhancing the production of cold‐type ice, reaching altitudes of up to 15 km. The WRF‐Chem PM2.5 outcomes indicate a significant increase in heavy rainfall, exceeding 10 mm hr−1, particularly in the context of the development of cold‐type convective clouds. Plain Language Summary: The regional phenomenon of summer rain, known as Changma in Korea, usually occurs with a quasi‐stationary rainy front that forms between the continental polar air mass over the East Asian region and the maritime tropical air mass over the northwest Pacific. An inactive quasi‐stationary rainy front with nonlinear zonal clouds induced by a reduction in the south‐north air temperature gradient during the Changma period led to the efficient absorption of solar radiation on the surface of the East Asian region. In addition, convective clouds have frequently developed over the Yellow Sea inside the inactive quasi‐stationary rainy front, resulting in extreme events with large amounts of short‐term precipitation in inland Korea. We found that aqueous‐phase chemistry in convective clouds led to the production of PM2.5 and nucleated cloud droplets, enhancing precipitation on 16–18 July 2017. While warm‐type convective clouds developed due to warm and humid south‐southwesterly flows over the Yellow Sea, WRF‐Chem‐simulated PM2.5 promoted cold‐type ice production to a top convection height of 15 km. The entrainment of near‐surface PM2.5 aerosols in the south‐southwesterly flows from eastern China and the secondary activations over the boundary layer clouds enhanced heavy rainfall to more than 10 mm hr−1 in cold‐type convective clouds. Key Points: A reduction in the air temperature gradient induced an inactive rainy front, forming a mesoscale cyclone over the Yellow SeaPM2.5 aerosols in eastern China flowed out to the Yellow Sea, wherein the PM2.5 inflows contributed to the development of cold‐type cloudsCold‐type clouds promoted heavy rainfall exceeding 10 mm hr−1 over the Yellow Sea and Korea [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
