A clear and interesting image of local total energy anomaly (EA) is depicted for a heavy rainfall event in this study.Before the convection development,it exhibits a positive local EA,implying local total energy (TE) experiences heaping up to prepare for the future system development.As the convection grows,it transforms into an opposite spatial modality with negative EA dominant,which means that the local TE is consumed to feed the convection growth in the middle and lower levels.The local total EA has consistent variation regular in intensity with severe weather system evolution.By utilizing the local TE budget equation in variable density fluid,the flux divergence of energy and its components are investigated,which could account for the local TE variation better.To relax the restriction and complexity introduced by identifying sporadic and alteative positive/negative signals of EA,the method taking the absolute-value operator on energy flux divergence is used to further simplify analyses.The derived characteristic signal of absolute EA is clearer and cleaner than before.Thus,the EA could be illustrated based on the active degree of energy supply/consumption in a generalized sense whatever positive or negative anomaly should be it,which could be used easily to identify and even predict the system development for operational application.Note that,although two sets of methodologies are used to define EA herein,they play absolutely different roles in nature throughout the whole context.For example,the taking-perturbation method provides a diagnostic tool to portray a preliminary sketch and to give sufficient necessity of this research,while tendency equation of local TE illuminates more predictive sense and accounts for future local EA related to following system evolution.Therefore,the latter could be a more effective tool to routine usage.
