The evolution process and structure of a polar low (meso-*-scale low in the polar airmass), which developed on 11*12 December 1985 are studied in Part I of the present study. The fine structure of the polar low is analyzed in Part II. Radar and dense surface observation data indicate the formation of a meso-*-scale low associated by well organized spiral echo bands within the polar low. The horizontal extension and the life time of the meso-*-scale low is '100 km and several hours, respectively. While the polar low moves southeastward with speed of '50 km/hour, the meso-*-scale low moves eastward with speed of *30 km/hour. Strong gust of '25 m/sec and the surface pressure fall of *2 mb/30 min are observed when the center of the meso-*-scale low at its mature stage passes over. The relative vorticity and convergence of the surface winds of*100* 10-6 sec-1 and *-50* 10-6 sec-1 are estimated over the central portion of the low. The thick moist neutral layer and the cyclonic flows induced by the polar low are considered to be a favorable environment for the developing of the meso-*-scale low. It is an important conclusion of Part II that the present polar low has a multi-scale structure, i. e., a meso-*-scale vortex in a meso-*-scale polar low.
