Abstract: In order to have a more in-depth understanding of snowstorm weather and improve the prediction accuracy of this kind of weather in Fushun area, using the 500 hPa geopotential height and sea level pressure data, the author studied the short-term weather type of 15 snowstorm cases in Fushun area in recent 10 years from 2001 to 2010. The results showed that: based on the 500 hPa geopotential height field, the snowstorm in Fushun area could be divided into the snowstorm of horizontal trough and the snowstorm of developing short trough which moved eastward, the cold air flows through the Lake Baikal and moved southeast in both the two snowstorm type; based on the sea level pressure field, the snowstorm in Fushun area could be divided into the snowstorm of Mongolia cyclone type, the snowstorm of upside down trough type and the snowstorm of Jianghuai cyclone type, more than 90% of the snowstorm belonged to the Mongolia cyclone and upside down trough type; the main characteristics of Mongolia cyclone type was the Mongolia cyclone strengthen after moving southeast to the Bohai, then to the northeast, the low value system moved to the north, was a necessary condition for snowstorm in Fushun; Asian cold high pressure moving from the northwest or NNW to the southeast or SSE, the intensity of Asian cold high pressure of the upside down trough type greater than the Mongolia cyclone type. In addition, the 60% of snowstorm appeared in December and March in Fushun in recent 10 years, from the first to the third nine-day period after the winter solstice did not appear snowstorm.
