Triggering Mechanism of an Extreme Rainstorm Process near the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang, an Arid Region in China, Based on a Numerical Simulation

<div>Simulated radar reflectivity in four stages of rainstorm system evolution (shadow; unit, dBZ; the solid black line represents the terrain of the Tianshan Mountains above 3000 m). (a) Initiation stage at 12:00 on July 31, (b) development stage at 16:00 on July 31, (c) maturity stage at 17:30 on July 31, and (d) extinction stage at 22:00 on July 31, 2016.</div>
