北方涛动和南方涛动与太平洋海温关系的对比分析

本文对太平洋气压场和海温场相互关系的分析,不仅证实了近年来一些研究提出的北方涛动与赤道东太平洋海温变化的关系,而且进一步揭示了北方涛动与太平洋海温相关最显著区域是在赤道太平洋日界线以东附近、Namias海区和加利福尼亚洋流区,而南方涛动与东太平洋和秘鲁沿岸的海温关系密切.并发现南、北方涛动虽处于同一3-4年的振荡系统中,但对各次埃尔尼诺过程而言,南、北方涛动指数的极值和相对强度都不尽一致.分析表明,埃尔尼诺现象的三种不同增温类型与南、北方涛动影响赤道太平洋海温在空间上的差异,以及位相和相对强度的不同匹配状态有相当程度的联系.     

北太平洋热带的低频振荡——北方涛动

北方涛动是近几年在北太平洋热带地区发现的一种东西向的大气涛动.本文试图对北方涛动的空间结构和时间变化(包括季节变化和年际变化)的基本特征及其与热带太平洋海温、降水、信风和沃克环流等的联系作进一步的分析研究.经验正交函数(EOF)分析的结果,不仅进一步证实了北方涛动存在的真实性,而且还揭示了它的大尺度特征及其在北太平洋大气环流年际变化中占有头等重要的地位.据延伸的1921-1946年资料的分析表明,北方涛动仍然非常明显,说明它不是某一时期特有的现象,而是北太平洋热带地区大气环流固有的一种低频振荡.北方涛动3-4年的年际振荡与热带太平洋海温、降水、信风和沃克环流关系密切.并且它在这一频带与南方涛动发生强烈的耦合.我们认为,东赤道太平洋之所以是全球热带海洋中海温年际变化最大的地区,以及该区的海气相互作用之所以能够产生世界性年际气候变化最强的信号,可能与它们之间强烈的耦合作用不会没有关系.     

1986—1987年厄尔尼诺-南方涛动事件形成发展过程分析

本文利用近期热带太平洋大气—海洋实测资料,对起始于1986年9月的厄尔尼诺(EI-Ni(?)o)-南方涛动(ENSO)事件作了初步分析,发观亦道太平洋月际STS距平、纬向风指数、平均海平面高度距平、南方涛动指数、地球射出长波辐射、大气环流遥相关型和西太平洋副热带高压等在这次ENSO事件发生前后均有显著变化。作者指出,这次ENSO事件中,赤道太平洋海温异常增暖不是象通常那样发生在春季和由南美沿岸向西发展,而是发生在秋季,且首先出现在中赤道太平洋日界线区,而后迅速向东发展,从海温异常增暖的强度和持续时间来看,这次ENSO事件基本属一次中等强度过程。     

南沙暖水变化及其与ENSO和西太副高的耦合关系

南沙暖水域位于南海南部,濒临赤道,处于Walker环流上升区和南北半球气流交换的通道上,是南海海温较高的区域,也是海气相互作用的敏感地区。热带海域海洋及大气环流的变化对该海域海温的变化有着重要影响。 以往的研究表明,南海海温与赤道中、东太平洋水温和西太平洋副热带高压关系密切(钮智旺,1994;陈永利,1996)。南海是一个半封闭性海域,南海海温的变化与热带西太平洋水温之间具有非“承接”性(周发琇,1991),与西太平洋之间的水体交换不可能是引起南海海温变化的主要原因。那么,赤道中、东太平洋海温及副高是通过什么过程影响南海海温呢?它们之间的相互关系如何?西太平洋副热带高压是控制南海海域的主要天气系统，厄尔尼诺和南方涛动是热带太平洋地区海洋、大气中的两种大尺度异常现象,南海海温与它们之间的耦合关系可能就是影响海温变化的过程。本文根据综合海洋大气资料(COADS),分析了南沙暖水的变化与南海海温的关系,并借助功率谱和交叉谱分析了南沙暖水的变化周期以及与赤道东、中太平洋水温、南方涛动和西太副高之间的显著耦合频域及相互耦合振荡关系,以探讨南沙暖水与ENSO(埃尔尼诺-南方涛动)和西太副高之间的内在联系及海温变化的原因,对于研究南沙暖水域及南海海温变化的物理成因有着重要意义。     

ENSO 知识讲座

第三讲南方涛动、瓦克环流和厄尔尼诺 1 南方涛动 气象学上的三大涛动是指南方涛动(SO)、北太平洋涛动(NPO)和北大西洋涛动(NAO).每个涛动系统都是由一组一个高压和一个低压的大气活动中心组成.     

非埃尔—尼诺时期热带海洋对大气环流的影响

本文通过对热带海洋非埃尔-尼诺时期海温场的一种重要分布形式——海温场EOF展开第一特征向量场与高低空大气的相关分析和谱分析发现,该类海温分布典型场不仅对高空大气的起伏振荡有重要影响。而且与低空大气的涛动现象关系密切,其变化领先于低纬涛动现象4～5个月,可能是低纬涛动现象的启动因子。     

北太平洋涛动与El Nino的关系及其年代际变化

基于HadISST海表温度和NCEP/NCAR的海平面气压等再分析资料,研究了北太平洋海平面气压主模态与El Nio的关系。结果发现:阿留申低压模态是对El Nio事件的同期响应,而北太平洋涛动模态可以诱导热带太平洋产生类似中部型El Nio的海温异常,且具有提前4~12个月的预报意义。冬春季的北太平洋涛动处于正位相时,阿留申低压与夏威夷高压同时减弱,北太平洋背景风场减弱。夏威夷高压东南侧西南风异常减弱北太平洋东北信风,使加利福尼亚海区SST暖异常,在"风-蒸发-SST"机制的作用下,异常暖海温向热带太平洋传播,使赤道地区海温升高并产生西风异常,热带太平洋产生类似中部型El Nio的异常海温。El Nio类型的年代际变化可能受到北太平洋涛动的影响,当北太平洋涛动信号活跃时,中部型El Nio事件的发生频率大。     

热带海洋-大气耦合的主模态

依据1948年1月～2005年12月NCEP的海表温度(SST)和大气再分析的月平均资料,利用MCA方法,首次确定了代表全球热带海洋-大气相互作用的最主要信号的热带海洋-大气耦合主模态,该主模态随时间的变化与热带太平洋埃尔尼诺-南方涛动(ENSO)模态非常一致,揭示了该主模态包含以下海洋-大气相互作用物理过程:秋季印度尼西亚海洋-大陆区上空850 hPa出现异常的纬向风辐散和经向风辐合导致赤道东、中太平洋海温正异常,热带印度洋海温则出现东冷-西暖的—"偶极子"型异常;冬季热带太平洋出现典型的ENSO盛期对应的海洋-大气耦合型,在南海和热带远西太平洋出现低空反气旋环流异常,热带印度洋出现海盆一致增暖,而热带大西洋海温异常不明显;冬季热带太平洋和热带印度洋的SST异常可以导致春季赤道中太平洋西风异常,南海冬季风减弱,热带西北太平洋出现更明显的低空反气旋环流异常和赤道东风异常,热带西北大西洋出现西南风异常;该模态对夏季大气环流的影响主要表现为热带印度洋海盆一致模态对东亚季风的影响。     

赤道太平洋海温的东西振荡及其模拟

本文对137°E剖面不同深度的海温资料进行了比较细致的整理和分析,发现热带西太平洋海温敏感区(约在6°N,125～150m处)的海温(WSST)与赤道东太平洋海温之间存在着明显的反位相变化关系.在对赤道太平洋海、气运动的基本特征进行分析的基础上,设计了一个简单的二维海气耦合模式.用此模式模拟出在赤道太平洋中存在一类似于大气中Walker环流的赤道太平洋环流,其强弱变化造成了赤道太平洋海温的东西振荡.

源区黑潮热输送低频变异及其与中国近海SST异常变化的关系

基于长时间序列的水温和盐度资料，通过动力计算方法估算了源区黑潮（18°N断面）热输送量，分析了源区黑潮热输送变异和中国近海SST异常的年际、年代际时空变化特征及两者之间的相互关系．结果显示，源区黑潮热输送异常呈现出显著的以2—7、10～20a和约30a为主周期的年际、年代际变化，且具有线性增强的长期变化趋势．并约于1976年前后发生了一次显著气候跃变．中国近海SST年际、年代际异常变化的最显著区域位于渤海、黄海、东海海域和台湾海峡．源区黑潮热输送变异在年际、年代际尺度上与中国近海SST异常变化密切相关，源区黑潮热输送变异可能是影响中国近海SST异常变化的重要因素之一．     

Upper ocean heat content and atmospheric anomaly fields in the off-equatorial North Pacific related to ENSO

We have investigated interannual-scale variations of oceanic and atmospheric anomaly fields, such as upper ocean heat content (OHC), sea surface temperature (SST), latent heat flux (LHF) through the sea surface, sea level pressure (SLP) and wind stress curl (WSC) in the tropical Pacific and their relationships to El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events. The results reported here show that the OHC and SST anomalies are almost in phase and lead LHF anomalies in the western tropical Pacific (WTP) region, which are preferable to the generation of subsequent atmospheric anomalies in the WTP. We also describe linear relationships between the amplitudes of these variables in the WTP. In addition, the results show that the both WSC and LHF anomalies are in phase with the temporal trend of OHC anomalies in the WTP, and suggest a combined effect of the local WSC and LHF anomaly in the WTP and ENSO-related, off-equatorial, westward propagating OHC anomaly to generate a large OHC anomaly in the WTP. In contrast to the WTP, OHC and SST anomalies are not in phase to the east of the WTP. The results also indicate that OHC anomalies in the WTP have a potential effect on the generation of an equatorial OHC anomaly via both a reflection of waves at the western boundary and atmospheric variations, which force the enhancement of western equatorial OHC anomaly. Therefore, the WTP is a key region where ENSO events are significantly modulated, and OHC anomalies in the WTP play an important role in the subsequent ENSO event.     

The relationship between the canonical ENSO and the phase transition of the Antarctic oscillation at the quasi-quadrennial timescale

A correlation analysis is performed to investigate the relationship between El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Antarctic oscillation (AAO) at the quasi-quadrennial (QQ) timescale.It is found that the cold tongue index (CTI) and the AAO index (AAOI) are negatively correlated with about a 7-month lead-time,while they are positively correlated with about a 15-month lag-time.To further explore this relationship,complex empirical orthogonal function analysis is employed in the QQ sea level pressure (SLP) anomalies from 1951 to 2002.The results indicate that,during the ENSO cycle,there exists one kind of global tropical wave of wavenumber 1 (GTW1) propagating eastward.With the traveling of GTW1,the tropical SLP anomaly tends to intrude into the southern mid-latitudes.Accordingly,three strong signals travel synchronously along the circumSouth-Pacific path,and a relatively weak signal extends eastward and poleward over the South Ocean in the Atlantic-Indian Ocean sector.Following the propagation of these signals,the AAO phase tends to be reversed progressively.As a result,there exists an evident lead-lag correlation between CTI and AAOI.It can be concluded that ENSO plays a key role in the phase transition of AAO at the QQ timescale.It is also noticed that this regular relationship is only evident in the canonical ENSO events,for which sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies extend westward from the tropical eastern Pacific.On the other hand,the similar relationships are not found among those atypical ENSO events for which SST anomalies spread eastward from the central Pacific,such as the 1982-1983 ENSO event.     

20世纪90年代后期南海上层海温变化趋势的转折

In this paper, the interdecadal variability of upper-ocean temperature in the South China Sea(SCS) is investigated based on several objectively analyzed data sets and two reanalysis data sets. The trends of the SCS sea surface temperature(SST) have changed from warming to cooling since the late 1990 s. A heat budget analysis suggests that the warming of the surface mixed layer during 1984–1999 is primarily attributed to the horizontal heat advection and the decrease of upward long wave radiation, with the net surface heat flux playing a damping role due to the increase of upward latent and sensible heat fluxes. On the other hand, the cooling of the surface mixed layer during 2000–2009 is broadly controlled by net surface heat flux, with the radiation flux playing the dominant role. A possible mechanism is explored that the variation of a sea level pressure(SLP) over the North Pacific Ocean may change the prevailing winds over the SCS, which contributes to the change of the SST in the SCS through the horizontal heat advection and heat fluxes.     

Seasonal variation of atmospheric coupling with oceanic mesoscale eddies in the North Pacific Subtropical Countercurrent

This study investigated the seasonal variation in the atmospheric response to oceanic mesoscale eddies in the North Pacific Subtropical Countercurrent (STCC) and its mechanism, based on satellite altimetric and reanalysis datasets. Although mesoscale eddy in the study area is more active in summer, the sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly associated with mesoscale eddies is more intense and dipolar in winter, which is largely due to the larger background SST gradient. Similarly, the impact of the oceanic eddy on sea surface wind speed and heat flux is strongest in winter, whereas its effect on precipitation rate is more significant in summer. The study revealed that the SST gradient in STCC could impact the atmosphere layer by up to 800 hPa (900 hPa) in boreal winter (summer) through the dominant vertical mixing mechanism. Moreover, the intensity of the SST gradient causes such seasonal variation in mesoscale air-sea coupling in the study region. In brief, a stronger (weaker) background SST gradient field in wintertime (summertime) leads to a larger (smaller) eddy-induced SST anomaly, thus differently impacting atmosphere instability and transitional kinetic energy flux over oceanic eddies, leading to seasonal variation in mesoscale air-sea coupling intensity.     

两类El Niño事件对中国近海及毗邻海域海表温度的影响

为研究东部型和中部型两类厄尔尼诺(El Ni?o)事件与中国近海海表温度(sea surface temperature,SST)变化间的联系,基于中国科学院大气物理研究所连续80年(1940—2019年)的SST再分析数据,采用EOF分解、合成分析等方法做了初步分析,发现中国近海及毗邻海域近80年SST变化与全球变暖密切相关。并且两类El Ni?o事件对中国近海SST变化的影响存在显著差异。东部型El Ni?o事件发展过程中,中国近海及毗邻海域SST在发展年主要为负异常,衰退期为正异常;中部型ElNi?o事件发展过程中, SST变化区域差异大,发展年日本附近海域为正异常, 28°N以南为弱的负异常。两类El Ni?o事件引发西太平洋风场反气旋涡的时间、位置与强度等的不同,是造成中国近海风场与海表温度异常(sea surface temperature anomaly, SSTA)差异的主要原因。     

Climate teleconnections at monthly time scales in the Ligurian Sea inferred from satellite data

The existence and spatial distribution of possible teleconnections between the South Pacific and North Atlantic oceans and the Ligurian Sea (North-western Mediterranean) are investigated in the present paper. Teleconnections are searched by cross-correlating monthly spatio-temporal time series of 1.1 km resolution sea surface temperature (SST), and a 22.2 km resolution sea level anomaly (SLA), measured from satellite from March 1993 to August 1999, with two indices characterising the South Pacific and the North Atlantic variability: the Southern Oscillation (SO) and the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) indices, respectively. Concerning the variability induced by the North Atlantic Ocean, it is shown that it mostly influences the SLA field in the Ligurian Sea. Specifically, relevant anti-correlations between SLA and North Atlantic variability have been found in all the Ligurian sub-basin. As expected by geographical proximity, the effects of North Atlantic on the SLA field in the Ligurian Sea are instantaneous at monthly time scales. Instead, correlations between SST and NAO Index are found at time lag τ = 1 month in the southern part of the basin highlighting the memory of the ocean related to their heat capacity. Significant anti-correlations between SO Index and the SST field in the Ligurian Sea, were obtained at time lag τ = 4 months in the coastal areas of the sub-basin. Results also indicate that the impact of teleconnections in the area studied is not geographically uniform.     

热带太平洋海温异常对北极海冰的可能影响

本文利用1950-2015年间Hadley环流中心海冰和海温资料及NCEP/NCAR再分析资料,研究了热带太平洋海温异常对北极海冰的可能影响,并从大气环流和净表面热通量两个角度探讨了可能的物理机制。结果表明,在ENSO事件发展年的夏、秋季节,EP型与CP型El Niño事件与北极海冰异常的联系无明显信号。而La Niña事件期间北极海冰出现显著异常,并且EP型与CP型La Niña之间存在明显差异。EP型La Niña发生时,北极地区巴伦支海、喀拉海关键区海冰异常减少,CP型La Niña事件则对应着东西伯利亚海、楚科奇海地区海冰异常增加。在EP型La Niña发展年的夏、秋季节,热带太平洋海温异常通过遥相关波列,使得巴伦支海、喀拉海海平面气压为负异常并与中纬度气压正异常共同构成类似AO正位相的结构,形成的风场异常有利于北大西洋暖水的输入,同时造成暖平流,偏高的水汽含量进一步加强了净表面热通量收入,使得巴伦支海、喀拉海海冰异常减少。而在CP型La Niña发展年的夏季,东西伯利亚海、楚科奇海关键区受其东侧气旋式环流的影响,以异常北风分量占主导,将海冰从极点附近由北向南输送到关键区,海冰异常增加,而净表面热通量的作用较小。     

The heat balance on the sea surface in the mature phase of 1982/83 El Nino event

Using the air-sea data set of January, 1983 (the mature phase of the 1982/83 El Nino event), the net radiation on the sea surface, the fluxes of the latent and the sensible heat from ocean to the atmosphere and the net heat gain of the sea surface are calculated over the Indian and the Pacific Oceans for the domain of 35°N-35°S and 45°E-75°W. The results indicate that the upward transfer of the latent and the sensible heat fluxes over the winter hemisphere is larger than that over the summer hemisphere. The sensible heat over the tropical mid Pacific in the Southern Hemisphere is transported from the atmosphere to the ocean, though its magnitude is rather small. The latent heat flux gained by the air over the eastern Pacific is less than the mean value of the normal year. The net radiation, on which the cloud amount has considerable impact, is essentially zonally distributed. Moreover, the sea surface temperature (SST) has a very good correlation with the net radiation, the region of warm SST coinci
