2010年夏季欧亚异常阻高演变过程及对天气气候的影响

2010年6—8月,北半球存在欧亚遥相关,异常最早出现在北大西洋高空急流出口区,为负扰动,扰动沿遥相关波列向下游传播,造成莫斯科地区的高温热浪以及巴基斯坦与中国西北和东北部的暴雨洪涝。遥相关分析表明,急流出口区的负扰动首先引起俄罗斯西部的正扰动,阻塞高压发展,造成持续高温干旱;之后引起西亚北部的负扰动,造成冷空气频繁南下,与北上和西进的印度季风交汇在巴基斯坦北部,造成极严重的洪涝;8月初扰动沿高空急流继续向下游传播,在我国西北、东北以及朝鲜半岛造成洪涝,甘肃舟曲突发性大暴雨和泥石流以及松花江暴雨就发生在这个时期。由于2010年夏季整个欧亚地区经向型环流异常发展,高空急流经向分量很大,这导致高、低纬冷暖空气在不同地区持续相互作用,不仅使阻塞高压在中高纬俄罗斯西部异常发展、强大和持续,而且使低纬巴基斯坦发生严重洪涝,以及我国中纬度地区的强烈暴雨。季风活动在引发上述暴雨洪涝起着十分关键的作用,分别表现为来自低纬阿拉伯海和孟加拉湾的两支暖湿气流与沿着阻高东侧南下的冷空气在巴基斯坦北部上空交汇;来自印度洋、太平洋的暖湿气流和中纬度西风带的水汽在我国东北以及朝鲜半岛上空交汇。     

夏季太平洋低纬地区季风环流与信风环流一种可能的连接机制

北半球夏季太平洋低纬地区的平均经向环流,西部(150°E以西)为季风环流;中部和东部(170°W以东)为信风区的Hadley环流;150°E—170°W之间为季风环流与信风环流的连接区或过渡区。连接季风环流与信风环流的水平环流系统,在高层为太平洋中部热带对流层高层槽(TUTT),低层为强大的太平洋副热带高压。太平洋中部高空槽区就是季风环流与信风环流的连接区或过渡区。本文分析了高空槽的流场结构,并根据各层水平环流和各经度带的垂直环流给出了太平洋低纬地区的三维气流分布示意图。      

河东降水量旱涝阶段性的一个观测事实

自从 Charney 和 Devore(1979)提出大气环流多平衡态的概念以来,许多研究工作都试图把多平衡态的概念用于实际的气象问题。如阻塞高压的形成,副热带高压东部型、西部型的形成及其转换等。有的研究认为,南亚季风的活跃、中断可能与大范围流型的多平衡态有关,而季风的活跃与中断直接决定着某些区域的旱涝。这样,就在多平     

冬季中国上空平直西风环流条件下的西风波动

在亚洲中部和南部上空平直西风的环流条件下,往往有一个个高空西风带的低压槽从亚洲西部越过西藏高原移到中国东部。这类高空的低压槽在低层对流层大气中表现不很清楚,但在高层对流层中却表现很显著。在本文中对于这类高空槽的结构和性质作了叙述,并举出1956年2月10—12日的一个高空低槽的例子。     

夏季黄河流域降水气候特征及其与大气环流的关系

本文基于1958—2015年夏季黄河流域55个观测站降水量和NCEP/NCAR再分析1高度场等资料,使用MannKendall突变检验、合成分析和Monte Carlo检验等气候统计方法,分析了黄河流域58年夏季降水量的气候变化特征,以及导致其变化的大气环流成因。58年期间,黄河流域夏季降水量总体呈减少趋势,尤其在河套北部有显著性减少趋势,其主要原因是欧亚中高纬度等压面升高、西风带减弱所致;1975年和1996年是黄河流域夏季降水的两个明显年代际气候变化转折点,在1958—1975年期间,黄河流域夏季降水量年际变化大,异常偏多和偏少年出现频次较高,期间欧亚中高纬度及其以南包括黄河流域地区高度场偏低,主要受高空低压系统和较强冷空气影响;在1976—1995年期间,黄河流域大部降水偏多,其主要环流成因为乌拉尔山阻塞高压发展、贝加尔湖到东北亚一带受负高度距平控制高空槽加深,同时,来自南方的暖湿气流输送增强;到1996—2015年最近20年间,乌拉尔山北部环流高度场偏低、里海至贝加尔湖再到东北亚一带高度场一致偏高,黄河流域一带西风带强度和冷空气势力均较弱,流域受高压影响导致大部区域降水偏少。不同时期黄河各流域段降水量与中高纬度阻塞高压以及与西北太平洋副热带高压的相关关系分析进一步说明了上述结论。     

1998年夏季我国东部降水与大气环流异常及其低频特征

东亚夏季风环流的异常对该地区降水异常有重要影响, 而低频降水又是季风活动的一个主要特征。研究揭示了1998年降水异常及其低频变化等观测事实，分析讨论了大尺度环流的4个异常特征。结果表明:1998年汛期长江流域出现二度梅，10~20 d低频振荡具有普遍性，而30~50 d的地域性较为明显；西太平洋副热带高压位置的异常、欧亚大陆中高纬度持续阻塞高压、高空西风带急流轴线活动异常及二次季风涌的出现及其相互配合是长江流域降水异常的主要影响系统。     

江南地区持续性暴雨过程的月内环流异常和形成机制分析

利用1951—2009年NCAR/NCEP再分析资料,使用多种统计分析方法识别出对江南地区持续性暴雨过程发生、发展有重要影响的月内环流异常特征,并结合天气分析方法对其影响机制进行初步分析。结果表明,过程发生前3—1周,环流异常特征在中纬度的欧亚地区、北太平洋和南半球印度洋集中分布,其中欧亚和南半球环流异常特征反映的是沿高空急流东传的Rossby波列。正是上述环流异常特征传播和生消所对应的环流异常调整,使得副热带高压（副高）、阻塞高压、梅雨槽等关键环流系统分阶段逐步发展到位,形成有利于过程发生的大尺度环流背景“锁相”特征。      

ENSO事件与青藏高原积雪和东亚大气环流的可能联系

本文利用1951 ～1998 年的北太平洋高温和北半球大气环流及1961 ～1993 年的青藏高原积雪等资料,分析了ENSO事件与青藏高原冬季积雪、亚洲季风、夏季东亚阻塞高压和西太平洋副热带高压之间的可能联系,分析表明ENSO事件与青藏高原积雪和东亚大气环流之间存在着较好的关系。     

长江流域持续性暴雨研究进展

目前有关于长江流域持续性暴雨的研究非常多,其中关注的主要热点除副热带高压、阻塞高压和基于以上因子的征兆环流模型外,还包括高低空急流、季风环流、低频振荡、与加热场异常的相关研究等方面,根据研究进展,副热带高压偏南偏西、阻塞高压形势维持而乌拉尔山阻塞高压崩溃或减弱、东亚夏季风环流偏弱、邻近海域海温异常、高、低空急流、征兆环流模型等均可作为长江流域持续性暴雨的预报因子。其中高、低空急流时效性较短,季风环流和低频振荡虽对于长江流域持续性暴雨发生发展有重要作用,但其具体机制仍待进一步研究。     

孟加拉湾季风爆发对南海季风爆发的影响Ⅰ:个例分析

利用南海季风试验分析场和NCAR向外长波辐射通量(OLR)资料研究了1998年孟加拉湾季风和南海季风爆发期间副热带环流的大尺度和天气尺度特征,探讨了孟加拉湾季风爆发与南海季风爆发之间的物理联系及孟加拉湾季风气旋的对流凝结潜热释放对副热带高压“撤出”南海的影响。结果表明,1998年5月爆发的东亚季风展现出典型的从孟加拉湾地区东传发展到南海地区的过程。随着孟加拉湾季风爆发和对流活动增强、北移,南海北部出现了低层西风和对流活动,领先于副热带高压在南海地区减弱和撤退。结果还显示南海北部地区的对流凝结加热有助于该地区经向温度梯度的反转,在热成风关系的制约下南海上空副热带高压脊面的垂直倾斜由冬季型转向夏季型,季风爆发。     

海陆分布和地形对1998年夏季风爆发的热力影响

应用1980－1995年5天平均的CMAP降水资料、美国NMC850hPa风、卫星反演的向外长波辐射（OLR）和上部对流层水汽亮温（BT）等资料分析比较了南海夏季风爆发前后的基本特征。结果发现：BT能够反映南海夏季风的爆发及其与周围地区降水的关系，但局地降水信息的反映不够具体；OLR能够比较好的反映热带海洋上的降水，但陆地上的低值OLR可能受到地形的影响，仅仅850hPa风场不能完全确定夏季风的爆发。南海季风转换区域定义在南海的中北部比较合适，这是因为南海夏季风爆发前就存在着长年位于南海南部的带海洋对流性雨带；南海夏季风爆发后西南季风气流和季风雨带从印度洋经孟加拉湾和南海伸向西北太平洋，开始了南亚和东亚夏季风的爆发过程。     

THERMAL INFLUENCES OF LAND-SEA CONTRAST AND TOPOGRAPHY ON SUMMER MONSOON IN 1998

In this work, the SCSMEX data are used to diagnose and compare the local land-sea thermal conditions, with the focus of discussion on possible influences of thermal forcing of the western Pacific and the Tibetan Plateau on the onset and development of summer monsoon in 1998. Results show a close relationship between the distribution of the heat sources and the land-sea contrast. Due to the blocking effect of terrain, main maximum zones of the heat sources in areas with more evident north-south land-sea contrast are more obviously southward located than those exclusively with oceans. The surface heating is characterized with apparent seasonal variation and difference between land and sea. The relationship between the western Pacific and the onset of summer monsoon is reflected in the variations of the sea surface temperature (SST) and the latent heat. The influence mechanism of the Tibetan Plateau during the summer monsoon is different: it is dominated by sensible heating during the South China Sea monsoon and by condensed latent heating during the Indian monsoon.     

Factors favorable to frequent extreme precipitation in the upper Yangtze River Valley

Extreme precipitation events in the upper Yangtze River Valley (YRV) have recently become an increasingly important focus in China because they often cause droughts and floods. Unfortunately, little is known about the climate processes responsible for these events. This paper investigates factors favorable to frequent extreme precipitation events in the upper YRV. Our results reveal that a weakened South China Sea summer monsoon trough, intensified Eurasian-Pacific blocking highs, an intensified South Asian High, a southward subtropical westerly jet and an intensified Western North Pacific Subtropical High (WNPSH) increase atmospheric instability and enhance the convergence of moisture over the upper YRV, which result in more extreme precipitation events. The snow depth over the eastern Tibetan Plateau (TP) in winter and sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTAs) over three key regions in summer are important external forcing factors in the atmospheric circulation anomalies. Deep snow on the Tibetan Plateau in winter can weaken the subsequent East Asian summer monsoon circulation above by increasing the soil moisture content in summer and weakening the land–sea thermal contrast over East Asia. The positive SSTA in the western North Pacific may affect southwestward extension of the WNPSH and the blocking high over northeastern Asia by arousing the East Asian-Pacific pattern. The positive SSTA in the North Atlantic can affect extreme precipitation event frequency in the upper YRV via a wave train pattern along the westerly jet between the North Atlantic and East Asia. A tripolar pattern from west to east over the Indian Ocean can strengthen moisture transport by enhancing Somali cross-equatorial flow.     

青藏高原对亚洲夏季风爆发位置及强度的影响

通过数值模拟,研究了青藏高原位于不同经度位置时,亚洲夏季风的爆发和演变情况,从动力和热力学角度分析了青藏高原大地形对亚洲夏季风爆发位置的影响。结果表明,青藏高原的“热力滑轮”作用引起:高原东南面热带陆地上空的偏南气流加强,降水增加,凝结潜热加强;高原西南面热带陆地上空出现偏北气流,降水减弱,陆面的感热加热加强。青藏高原对于亚洲夏季风的爆发地点有锚定的作用,在热带海陆分布的背景下,使亚洲夏季风首先在高原东南面的海洋东岸—陆地西岸爆发,并使亚洲季风降水重新分布。     

Relationships between the global general circulation and the indian summer monsoon

The relationships between the global general circulation and the Indian monsoon during active and break phases are investigated with the help of FGGE IIIb data.It was found that the ultralong wave component positive and negative height anomalies over Tibet are associated with active and break monsoon phases respectively. This ultralong wave component has significant effect even upto 22oN over the Indian region which is the monsoon trough region. During a monsoon break, the general circulation was found to be more turbulent in the sense that more waves become energised.It was observed that during a break, blocking prevails over the Siberian region and cold air advection takes place toward Indian region from Siberian region depressing the temperatures over the Indian region by about 1oC. During the break, the Indian region gets connected with higher latitudes by the south winds blowing from polar Soviet re-gions to the Indian region. From active to break phase the zonal component weakens by about 25% from Indian ocean area right upto Alaskan region, along the east coast of Asia.     

ADVANCE AND RETREAT OF THE SUMMER MONSOON IN CHINA

By using the daily-14 year(1983—1996)NCEP/NCAR 2.5°×2.5° reanalysis data,wecarefully study in each pentad the advance and retreat of the summer monsoon in China and givento it a new definition.This definition considered the intensity of southwesterly winds at 850 hPatogether with its degree in temperature and moisture.The result revealed that:(1)The advance of the summer monsoon in China shows three abrupt northward shifts andfour relatively stationary stays.The four stable stages correspond to the peak of the pro-summerrainy period in South China,the“Meiyu”season in the Changjiang(Yangtze)-Huaihe RiverValleys.the rainy season in the downstream of the Huanghe(Yellow)Riyer Valleys and the rainyseason in northern China.The retreat of the summer monsoon is so fast that it totally retreatsfrom the mainland at about the mid-August.(2)The northward advance of summer monsoon in China is basically controlled by theseasonal variation latitudinally of the upper level planetary westerlies.It is in roughly accord withthe temporal variation in the position of 15 m s~(-1) isotaeh at 200 hPa.The fast retreat of thesummer monsoon is mainly due to the blocking effect of the Tibetan Plateau.(3)The advance of 500 hPa subtropical high of the western Pacific is also in aecordanee withthe advance of the summer monsoon in China.During the advancement of the summer monsoon,the eastward movement of the subtropical high shows great meaning that it creates the essentialcondition for the convergence of southward intrusion cold airs with the warm and humidsouthwesterly winds,which result in precipitation.There are three manifest eastward movementsof the subtropical high during its northward advancement.They coincide correspondingly to thebeginning of the peak of the pre-summer rainy period in South China,the“Meiyu”season in theChangjiang(Yangtze)-Huaihe River Valleys and finally the rainy season in northern China.Thewestern part of the subtropical high moves eastward to the region of Japan in late July and thebeginning of August.It then stays there for quite a long time which results in the straightmovement of cold airs intruding from the north to the east of Tibetan Plateau,i.e.the easternregion of China.This provides good condition for the fast southward retreat of the summermonsoon.(4)The intensifieation and development of the Tibetan high at 200 hPa are closely related to the eastward movement of the subtropical high,they often occur simultaneously.     

青藏高原影响亚洲夏季气候研究的最新进展

文中回顾了近 10a来吴国雄等在青藏高原影响亚洲夏季气候研究方面的最新进展。通过分析东西风交界面的演变证明 ,由于青藏高原的春季加热 ,亚洲季风区对流层低层冬季盛行偏东风转变为夏季偏西南风最早发生在孟加拉湾东部 ,与其相伴随的激烈对流降水出现在其东面。因此孟加拉湾东部至中印半岛西部是亚洲季风最早爆发的地区。同时也指出盛夏伊朗高原和青藏高原加热所激发的同相环流嵌套在欧亚大陆尺度的热力环流中 ,从而加强了东亚的夏季风 ,加剧了中西亚的干旱 ;并通过其所激发的波动对夏季东亚的气候格局产生重要影响。文中还比较了夏季南亚高压的伊朗模态和青藏模态性质的异同及其对亚洲夏季降水异常分布的不同影响。     

RESEARCH ON THE INTERANNUAL AND INTERDECADAL VARIABILITIES OF THE MONSOON TROUGH AND THEIR IMPACTS ON TROPICAL CYCLONE GENESIS OVER THE WESTERN NORTH PACIFIC OCEAN

In this paper, we mainly summarize and review the progresses in recent climatological studies (by CMSR, IAP/CAS and some associated domestic and international institutions) on the interannual and interdecadal variabilities of monsoon troughs and their impacts on tropical cyclones and typhoons (TCs) geneses over the western North Pacific Ocean. The climatological characteristics of monsoon troughs and four types of circulation patterns favorable to TCs genesis over the western North Pacific Ocean in summer and autumn are given in this paper. It is also shown in this paper that the monsoon trough over the western North Pacific Ocean has obvious interannual and interdecadal variabilities. Especially, it is revealed in this paper that the interannual and interdecadal variabilities of the monsoon trough over the western North Pacific Ocean influence the TCs genesis not only through the impact on distributions of the vorticity in the lower troposphere and the divergence in the upper troposphere, the water vapor in the mid- and lower troposphere and the vertical shear of wind fields between the upper and lower troposphere over the western North Pacific Ocean, but also through the dynamical effects of the transition between convectively coupled tropical waves and providing disturbance energy. Besides, some climatological problems associated with TCs activity over the western North Pacific Ocean that need to be studied further are also pointed out in this paper.     

亚洲季风区纬圈剖面内准40天周期振荡的环流结构及其演变

本文利用1979年FGGE LevelⅢb资料研究了30°E—150°W范围内赤道和15°N纬带两个剖面内的准40天周期振荡的环流和温度场结构,讨论了它们的变化及其与亚洲地区季风活跃和中断的关系。发现有以下结果:(1)亚洲季风槽内的上升气流不仅构成了强大的经向季风环流圈,同时在其两侧也形成了东、西向(纬偏异常)环流圈,并受到准40天周期扰动的显著影响。季风槽两侧的热力学结构显著不同。(2)15°N纬带上60°E以西的北非和沙特阿拉伯上空的下沉(上升)区域向东扩展至南海—菲律宾地区导致其东面(西面)的高(低)层东(西)风动量下(上)传,使得季风中断(活跃),引起130°E以西地区低层西风和其东面太平洋上空的高层东风发生相互作用。向东传播的正(负)温度扰动与强的上升(下沉)运动相结合使得这一地区成为准40天周期振动的能量源地。(3)在赤道剖面上,扰动风场的位相向东向上传播,准40天周期的扰动动能向扰动位能转换,西风动量向下传播,其动力学特性与开尔文波有明显的不同。
