海气热通量算法的改进及应用

COARE模型是国际上常用的计算海气热通量的算法,其风速适用范围可达20m/s,但未包含飞沫等高风速下的影响因子,将其直接扩展到20m/s以上风速的海况存在不合理性。本文提出了适合各种风速条件下的包含飞沫影响的海面动力粗糙度长度参数化方案,并利用该方案改进了COARE 3.0模型。利用南海浮标的观测数据,根据改进的COARE 3.0模型计算了海气热通量,分析了飞沫对海气热通量的影响。结果表明,在0～20m/s风速范围内,感热通量与潜热通量主要由海气温差和海气湿差决定,与波龄的相关性很小,飞沫对热通量无显著影响。当风速大于20m/s,感热通量和潜热通量与海气温差和海气湿差的相关性减小,与波龄的相关性增加,潜热通量与波龄呈现负相关。考虑飞沫的效应后,总热通量明显增加,飞沫所增加的感热通量平均可占界面感热通量的38.89%,飞沫所增加的潜热通量平均占界面潜热通量的39.19%。     

2006～2007年北部湾海-气热通量变化特征

用2006年夏～2007年秋在北部湾获得的船测气象资料,由块体公式计算了海-气通量.结果表明:北部湾春、夏季节获得热通量,而秋、冬季节失去热通量.春季通过湍流交换造成的热通量对海面热平衡的贡献最小,其次是夏季、冬季和秋季.在年平均尺度上感热通量和潜热通量分别占净辐射通量的7.4%和77.4%,15.2%的净辐射热量通过海洋过程消耗掉.感热通量随海-气温差的加大而增大,而与风速之间呈现复杂的非线性关系.海-气温差增加1 ℃,感热通量增加6.7～12.7 W/m2;较大的感热通量(>30 W/m2)容易出现在5～10 m/s风速条件下.潜热通量与风速和相对湿度呈明显的相关关系:风速增加1 m/s,潜热通量增加约18 W/m2,而相对湿度下降1%会导致6 W/m2潜热通量的增加.     

台风期间海洋飞沫对海气湍通量的影响研究

本文以2006年9月日本以南海域的台风YAGI为例,应用黑潮延伸体附近的KEO浮标观测资料,并结合卫星遥感等融合资料,分析海洋飞沫在台风不同发展阶段对海气界面间热量通量和动量通量的影响。首先,定量地分析台风期间海洋飞沫对海气热通量的影响。结果表明,在台风YAGI过境期间,海洋飞沫能够显著地加剧海气界面间的热量交换,尤其是潜热交换。海洋飞沫增加的热通量随着风速的增强而增大,随着波龄的增大而减小。随后,通过动量分析表明,在台风YAGI过境期间,海洋飞沫显著地增强了由大气向海洋的动量转移。当风速达到台风量级后,考虑海洋飞沫所增加的动量通量与界面动量通量大小相当,同时,在此风速条件下,海洋飞沫在海气界面形成极限饱和悬浮层,抑制风到海表面的动量转移,导致海气界面间总的动量通量的增长率随之减小。     

中低风速下海洋飞沫对海气热通量的影响

基于2016-02-01—2016-05-21在南海博贺海洋气象观测平台观测的实验资料,首先利用整体空气动力学算法分别计算海气界面处感热通量与潜热通量,同时利用涡动相关法计算液滴蒸发层处总的感热通量与潜热通量。然后比较海气界面处热通量与液滴蒸发层处热通量的值,并利用差比法分别对2处感热通量和潜热通量进行做差计算。结果表明:液滴蒸发层处热通量与海气界面处热通量存在明显差异。通过与海洋飞沫引起的热通量值比较,结果表明液滴蒸发层处热通量与海气界面处热通量的差值由海洋飞沫作用引起;且在中低风速条件下,海洋飞沫引起的热通量与风速呈正相关;相比感热通量而言,潜热通量随着风速的变化更为显著。     

南黄海海气热通量观测及其与OAflux数据集比较研究

2007年在南黄海进行了3个航次的热通量观测,包括长、短波辐射,近海表空气温度、湿度,风速,海表皮温等观测数据。依据计算的冬季、春季、秋季三个航次的海气热通量分析了热通量不同季节特征,南黄海海域冬季、春季和秋季平均潜热通量分别为80.7W/m2,5.6W/m2和142.1W/m2,感热通量分别为32.0W/m2,-12.5W/m2和18.9W/m2(海洋向大气传递为正)。将国际较为通用的OAflux数据集与3个季节观测数据做了逐点的比对,作为对OAflux数据集在南黄海海域的评估,结果显示:OAflux数据集热通量结果与观测数据在2006—2007年冬季最为接近,感热和潜热通量均方差是15.3W/m2和21.4W/m2。春季的潜热通量存在明显偏差,均方差为28.4W/m2。秋季的感热和潜热通量均存在显著偏差,均方差分别为20.5W/m2和57.5W/m2。导致春季偏差的主要原因是OAflux数据集和现场观测的近海表空气湿度差异,而秋季偏差则应主要归因于海表温度的偏差。     

海洋飞沫参数化方案在台风数值模拟中的应用

海洋飞沫作为海气相互作用的重要因子, 在台风的发生、发展过程中扮演着重要角色.将Fairall和Andreas海洋飞沫参数化方案加入到WRF模式中对两个台风--"珊珊"、"桑美"进行了模拟, 以研究不同海洋飞沫参数化在WRF模式中对台风模拟效果的影响.结果表明, 加入Fairall方案后潜热通量、感热通量得到很大程度的加强, 使得台风的热力结构得以改变, 暖心结构十分明显, 从而影响了动力场结构.相对涡差解释了台风移动路径变化的原因, 热成散度、涡度以及水汽通量的改变影响了台风的强度.Andreas方案由于界面通量算法在考虑海表面动量粗糙度、热力粗糙度及水汽粗糙度随风速、相对湿度变化的情况下, 得到的潜热通量、感热通量较Fairall方案为弱, 因而台风的强度不强.飞沫参数化方案对模拟台风路径的影响较小.     

台风"森拉克"的数值模拟研究:海洋飞沫的作用

台风作为一种在海洋上生成和演变的强烈天气现象，除了环境流场、自身结构以及地形等因子对它产生影响外，海气间的热量动量交换也是台风演变过程中不可或缺的因子。台风期间在海气界面生成大量海洋飞沫，这些飞沫在台风边界层的蒸发必然对海气之间的通量传输过程产生影响，进而影响到台风本身的演变。文章将海洋飞沫参数化引入大气中尺度模式中，对2002年16号台风“森拉克”的演变进行了数值模拟研究。结果表明，引入海洋飞沫参数化方案，可使台风期间海气界面的潜热通量增加50％，10m层风速最大值增加30％，从而使模拟台风的强度明显增加，使模拟结果更趋于合理。因此，在台风数值模拟和预报中考虑海洋飞沫的作用是十分必要的。     

南海西南季风期NCEP2湍流热通量的质量分析

以5次南海现场观测试验数据(Xisha2002,Xisha2000,Xisha1998,Kexue 1和Shiyan 3)为参照,对NCEP2再分析资料中湍流热通量在南海西南季风期的精度进行了评估.结果表明NCEP2估算的潜热通量的平均值在试验Xisha2000,Xisha1998,Kexue 1和Shiyan 3期间分别高估了6(11%),2(2%),7(7%)和13W/m2(16%),而在Xisha2002试验中低估了10 W/m2(11%).在5个试验中低估的感热通量分别为7(130%),3(64%),7(170%),5(53%)和5 W/m2(72%).NCEP2与5个现场观测试验的时间序列的相关系数均没有达到95%的置信度.模式中湍流热通量损失的误差来源于基本变量和算法,基本变量中以海表温度和海面风速的误差产生的影响最大.应用COARE2.6a算法和NCEP2的基本变量重新计算的湍流热通量更加符合物理意义.     

海洋飞沫对热带气旋影响的数值模拟研究——以“鲇鱼”台风为例

本文在海-气-浪-沉积输运耦合模式COAWST(The Coupled-Ocean-Atmosphere-Wave-Sediment Transport Modeling System)中,添加包含海洋飞沫效应的拖曳系数C_D和热焓交换系数C_K参数化方案,探讨海洋飞沫的动力学和热力学效应对热带气旋的影响。数值实验结果表明,海洋飞沫效应可有效改进热带气旋的路径模拟结果;只考虑海洋飞沫动力学效应时,对海表动量通量的影响甚少,可使向上感热通量和潜热通量略有增加;同时考虑海洋飞沫动力学和热力学效应时,可使海表动量通量略有增加,并使向上感热通量和潜热通量显著增加,海洋飞沫主要通过热力学效应有效增加热带气旋强度,对热带气旋强度模拟的改进效果相比于仅考虑海洋飞沫动力学效应更显著。     

东南极Princess Elizabeth冰盖近地层大气参数的年变化特征

利用2002年东南极Princess Elizabeth冰盖自动气象梯度观测点获得的近地层气象资料,分析了冰盖上的感热通量、潜热通量、大气稳定度、整体输送系数及有关气象要素特征,并与中山站同期的的气象要素进行了对比分析.结果表明,由于两站的海拔高度及地理位置的差异,LGB69站的年平均气温为-25.6℃,比中山站低16.4℃,进入内陆每10km,海拔高度上升约110m,温度下降约1℃.南极内陆冰盖的湍流热通量具有明显的年变化,感热通量年平均值为-17.9W/m2,潜热通量为-0.9W/m2,年平均冷源强度(Q_h+Q_e)为-18.8W/m2,表明地表从大气吸收热量.LGB69站近地层大气以近中性层结为主,中性层结下的整体输送系数为2.6×10-3,当风速大于8m/s后,整体输送系数趋于常数.LGB69站是南极地区典型下降风区,年平均风速比中山站大2.0m/s,其下降风出现的风向频和风速均大于中山站.     

Effects of surface waves and sea spray on air–sea fluxes during the passage of Typhoon Hagupit

Air–sea exchange plays a vital role in the development and maintenance of tropical cyclones(TCs). Although studies have suggested the dependence of air–sea fluxes on surface waves and sea spray, how these processes modify those fluxes under TC conditions have not been sufficiently investigated based on in-situ observations.Using continuous meteorological and surface wave data from a moored buoy in the northern South China Sea,this study examines the effects of surface waves and sea spray on air–sea fluxes during the passage of Typhoon Hagupit. The mooring was within about 40 km of the center of Hagupit. Surface waves could increase momentum flux to the ocean by about 15%, and sea spray enhanced both sensible and latent heat fluxes to the atmosphere,causing Hagupit to absorb 500 W/m~2 more heat flux from the ocean. These results have powerful implications for understanding TC–ocean interaction and improving TC intensity forecasting.     

海洋飞沫方案改进对台风“威马逊”强度预报的影响

本文采用分粒径段组合方式改进海气耦合模式海洋飞沫方案,并利用耦合模式对1409号台风"威马逊"进行数值模拟,分析了海洋飞沫方案改进对台风结构、强度以及海气动量通量、热量通量模拟结果的影响。结果显示,耦合模式中海洋飞沫方案可通过改变海表面粗糙度影响海气动量与热量通量;海洋飞沫还可以通过沫滴向大气输送感热和水汽而直接影响海气热通量,进一步影响台风的强度。模拟结果显示改进后海洋飞沫方案的台风强度更接近观测。改进海洋飞沫方案后粗糙度的计算结果小于原始方案,相应地海气热通量以及下垫面耗散作用也弱于后者,海表面风场是海气热交换与下垫面耗散共同作用的结果。     

基于浮标、NCEP2及OAFlux产品的新海表感热和潜热通量对比分析

New satellite-derived latent and sensible heat fluxes are performed by using Wind Sat wind speed, Wind Sat sea surface temperature, the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasting(ECMWF) air humidity, and ECMWF air temperature from 2004 to 2014. The 55 moored buoys are used to validate them by using the 30 min and 25 km collocation window. Furthermore, the objectively analyzed air-sea heat fluxes(OAFlux) products and the National Centers for Environmental Prediction-National Center for Atmospheric Research reanalysis 2(NCEP2) products are also used for global comparisons. The mean biases of sensible and latent heat fluxes between Wind Sat flux results and buoy flux data are –0.39 and –8.09 W/m~2, respectively. In addition, the rootmean-square(RMS) errors of the sensible and latent heat fluxes between them are 5.53 and 24.69 W/m~2,respectively. The RMS errors of sensible and latent heat fluxes are observed to gradually increase with an increasing buoy wind speed. The difference shows different characteristics with an increasing sea surface temperature, air humidity, and air temperature. The zonal average latent fluxes have some high regions which are mainly located in the trade wind zones where strong winds carry dry air in January, and the maximum value centers are found in the eastern waters of Japan and on the US east coast. Overall, the seasonal variability is pronounced in the Indian Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, and the Atlantic Ocean. The three sensible and latent heat fluxes have similar latitudinal dependencies; however, some differences are found in some local regions.     

Surface heat fluxes during hot events

We selected surface flux datasets to investigate the heat fluxes during “hot events”; (HEs), defined as short-term, large-scale phenomena involving very high sea surface temperature (SST). Validation of the heat fluxes against in-situ ones, which are estimated from in-situ observation in HE sampling conditions, shows the accuracies (bias ± RMS error) of net shortwave radiation, net long wave radiation, latent heat and sensible heat fluxes are 20 ± 45.0 W m⁻², −9 ± 12.3 W m⁻², −2.3 ± 31.5 W m⁻² and 1.5 ± 5.0 W m⁻², respectively. Statistical analyses of HEs show that, during these events, net solar radiation remains high and then decreases from 246 to 220 W m⁻², while latent heat is low and then increases from 100 W m⁻² to 124 W m⁻². Histogram peaks indicate net solar radiation of 270 W m⁻² and latent heat flux of 90 W m⁻² during HEs. Further, HEs are shown to evolve in three phases: formation, mature, and ending phases. Mean heat gain (HG) in the HE formation phase of 60 W m⁻² is larger than the reasonably estimated annual mean HG range of 0–25 W m⁻² in the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool. Such large daily HG in the HE formation phase can be expected to increase SSTs and produce large amplitudes of diurnal SST variations during HEs, which have been observed by both satellite and in-situ measurements in our previous studies.     

Surface heat budget and heat balance in the oceanic mixed layer in the central equatorial Pacific ocean during the 1986–87 El Niño

In January–February 1987, an urgent cruise JENEX-87 was carried out in the central equatorial Pacific during the occurrence of the 1986–87 El Niño. This cruise, supported by the Japan Science and Technology Agency, supplied heat flux data through the sea surface, on the basis of direct measurements of short- and long-wave radiation fluxes.In the time average, the heat gain due to the radiation flux (153 W m^–2) was almost compensated by the heat loss due to latent heat flux (130 W m^–2), and thus the net heat gain was small in magnitude (20 W m^–2). On the other hand, day-to-day changes of the net heat flux ranged within ±130 W m^–2, mainly reflecting the downward short-wave radiation variations.The heat balance in the surface oceanic mixed layer was investigated in two quadrangle areas (160°E-180° and 180°-160°W between 2°N and 2°S), using the surface heat flux and estimating the advective heat fluxes due to the geostrophic and Ekman currents. In these two quadrangles, we respectively derived –187±88 W m^–2 and +27±95 W m^–2. The former value, which is equivalent to about 1°C month^–1 drop of the mixed layer temperature, is evidence of the abnormal oceanic condition in the occurrence of the 1986–87 El Niño event.     

Heat budget in the Japan Sea

The long-term mean (31-year mean) surface heat fluxes over the Japan Sea are estimated by the bulk method using the most of the available vessel data with the resolution of 1^o×1^o. The long-term annual mean net heat flux is about –53 W m^–2 (negative sign means upward heat flux) with the annual range from 133 W m^–2 in May to –296 W m^–2 in December. The small gain of heat in the area near Vladivostok seems to indicate the existence of cold water flowing from the north. In that area in winter, the mean loss of heat attains about 200 W m^–2, and the Bowen's ratio is over the unity. The largest insolation occurs in May in the Japan Sea, and the upward latent heat flux becomes the largest in November in this area. The heat flux of Haney type is also calculated, and the result, shows that the constantQ ₁ has the remarkable seasonal and spatial variation, while the coefficientQ ₂ has relatively small variation throughout all seasons. Under the assumption of constant volume transport of 1.35×10⁶ m³s^–1 through the Tsugaru Strait, the long-term averages of the volume transport through the Tsushima and Soya Straits are estimated to be about 2.20 and 0.85×10⁶ m³s^–1 from the result of the mean surface heat flux, respectively.     

中国近海海气界面热通量的反演

应用卫星SSM/I(Special Sensor Microwave/Imager)和AVHRR(Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer)遥感资料,使用先进的海气通量计算方法(COARE3.0),计算了中国近海海气界面的感热和潜热通量.计算结果与南海西沙(2002年5月)和文昌(2000年10~11月)实测结果进行比较发现,应用遥感资料获得的海气界面热通量与实测结果非常一致.遥感获得的感热通量和潜热通量与西沙实测结果的均方根误差分别为2.9和29.9 W/m2,与文昌实测结果的均方根误差:2000年10月分别为4.42和43.05 W/m2,2000年11月分别为4.19和40.8 W/m2.与GSSTF2的结果相比,其时空分布变化特征基本一致.根据中国近海遥感资料(1988~2000年)的感热通量的分析,其均方根误差在10.1~12.4 W/m2之间,多年平均均方根误差为11.7 W/m2.潜热通量的均方根误差在34.8~49.7 W/m2之间,多年平均均方根误差为43.2 W/m2.由此可以说明,利用遥感获得的热通量可以用来进行中国近海海气相互作用的研究以及作为我国气候预测研究的重要依据.
