Impact of multi-scale oscillations at high and low latitudes on two persistent heavy rainfall events in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River

To investigate the multi-scale features in two persistent heavy rainfall (PHR) events in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River (MLRYR) in June of 1982 and 1998, this study examines the impact of multi-scale oscillations in the north and south of 30°N on the PHR events by performing sensitivity experiments with the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model. It is found that the 60-day lowpass perturbation made a trivial contribution to the MLRYR precipitation during the PHR event in 1982. This PHR event resulted mainly from the combined effects of 30–60-day oscillation at low latitudes and 10–30-day oscillation at both high and low latitudes. The southwesterly anomalies associated with the 30–60-day anticyclonic anomaly over the northwestern Pacific facilitated moisture transport from the ocean to the MLRYR and enhanced the low-level convergence and ascending motion in the MLRYR. This similarly occurred in the 10–30-day oscillation as well. Moreover, the 10–30-day anomalies at high latitudes played a role in strengthening the large-scale low-level convergence over the MLRYR. The PHR event in 1998 was mainly related to the 60-day oscillation at both high and low latitudes and 30–60-day oscillation at low latitudes. The 60-day low-pass filtered anomalous cyclone at high latitudes in the north of 30°N contributed to the development of low-level convergence and ascending motion in northern MLRYR while the anomalous anticyclone at low latitudes in the south of 30°N not only increased the moisture in the MLRYR but also preconditioned the dynamical factors favorable for PHR over the whole area. The 30–60-day perturbations located north and south of 30°N worked together producing positive moisture anomaly in the MLRYR. In addition, the anomalous circulation in the south of 30°N tended to favor the development of ascending motion and low-level convergence in the MLRYR.     

Rossby波和热带对流活动对2010年6月梅雨发生前后我国东部两次强降水过程的影响

基于574台站的逐日降水资料及NCEP/NCAR逐日再分析资料,在比较2010年梅雨期前后(6月7—11日和18—22日)我国东部两次强降水过程的大尺度环流型差异的基础上,从Rossby波活动通量及热带对流活动探讨了这两次强降水过程的异同。结果表明,相同之处在于:两次强降水过程期间中高纬度地区都存在Rossby波向下游传播,中纬度地区呈现双阻型式,低纬度地区西太平洋副热带高压(以下简称西太副高)强度偏强、西伸脊点位置偏西。不同之处在于:1)第一次降水过程中Rossby波的波源位于北欧地区附近,贝加尔湖地区为低槽,使得冷空气南下到36°N左右;同时孟加拉湾活跃的对流系统使西太副高加强西伸到95°E左右,冷暖空气交汇,导致强降水发生;2)第二次降水过程中Rossby波的波源位于北欧地区和中西伯利亚地区附近,东亚地区的低槽较第一次过程明显加深,有利于冷空气到达长江中下游地区(30°N左右),西太平洋暖池地区活跃的对流系统使得西太副高加强西伸到90°E左右,冷暖空气在长江中下游及其以南地区交汇,导致强降水发生。     

West Pacific subtropical high double ridges and intraseasonal variability of the South China Sea summer monsoon

In this study, the National Center for Environmental Prediction-National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP-NCAR) reanalysis data from 1979 to 2005 is used to investigate the possible impact of IntraSeasonal Oscillation (ISO) of the South China Sea (SCS) monsoon on the West Pacific Subtropical High (WPSH) double ridges. Three WPSH modes are defined as the 3/6 mode, the 1/2 mode and the dual mode, for the amplitude of the 30–60-day oscillation of SCS summer monsoon which is larger, smaller and comparable to the 10–20-day oscillation, respectively. The results show that there are no double ridges of WPSH present during 3/6 mode, but a weak process can be found during 1/2 mode. However, a powerful double-ridge structure of WPSH is present in several phases of the dual mode during both the 10–20-day oscillation and the 30–60-day oscillation. Then two typical WPSH double ridge cases in 1999, a special year of the dual mode, are chosen to further discuss this interesting phenomenon. Case 1 (24 July–27 July) is much weaker, and in this case the southern ridge disappears after several days, while during case 2 (3 August–11 August), the southern ridge finally replaces the northern ridge. The double ridges are much stronger compared to case 1. The ISO evolution feature is different between case 1 and case 2. The anomalous circulation of 10–20-day oscillation is anticyclonic over the southern ridge during both case 1 and case 2. However, the anomalous circulation of 30–60-day oscillation is cyclonic during case 1 and anticyclonic during case 2. It is this difference that leads to the double ridges being more powerful in case 2 than in case 1. This indicates that the 10–20-day oscillation of the SCS summer monsoon plays a key role in the WPSH double-ridge formation, while the 30–60-day oscillation provides a favorable background for it.     

Extreme drought event of 2009/2010 over southwestern China

The extreme drought of 2009/2010 over southwestern China is the driest event with the lowest percentage rainfall anomaly and the longest non-rain days during winter season (October–February) in the past 50?years, and also the severest one with the lowest percentage rainfall anomaly at the same period since 1880. The drought domain is characterized with anomalous warming and drying in the mid-lower troposphere as well as an evident anomalous subsidence. The favorable circulation anomalies for this drought are associated with the following two factors. One is the strongest negative-phase Arctic Oscillation during 2009/2010 winter that accompanies with a weakened Middle East Jet Stream (MEJS), the cyclonic anomaly over Arabian Sea (AS), the anticyclonic anomaly over Tibet and the cyclonic anomaly over Lake Baikal. The weakened MEJS, the AS cyclonic anomaly and the Tibet anticyclonic anomaly weaken the Southern Branch Trough (SBT) that directly decreases the moisture transport toward the southwestern China; the cyclonic anomaly over the Lake Baikal causes a deepened and westward shifted East Asian Major Trough (EAT) so that dry cold air behind the EAT easily invades down to southwestern China. The AS cyclonic anomaly favors the westward extension of Western Pacific Subtropical High (WPSH). The westward extension of WPSH is also associated with the second factor that is the El Nino Modoki event during 2009/2010 autumn–winter. The intensification and westward extension of WPSH enhance the local subsidence, weaken the SBT and exacerbate this drought.     

"05.6"广东致洪暴雨过程的500 hPa环流场及低频特征

分析2005年6月15~25日广东出现的连续暴雨过程及结束期的500 hPa候平均环流场,并对4~9月暴雨中心区域的降水低频振荡特征进行了分析。结果表明:连续暴雨期欧亚中高纬度维持稳定的两槽一脊形势;中低纬度非洲与西太平洋副热带高压强大,西太平洋副高西伸到广东沿海,青藏高原为稳定的高压脊,高原下游为西风槽活动区,使冷空气沿着高原频繁扩散南下,并与西太平洋副高边缘的暖湿气流相遇,产生连续的暴雨过程。当巴尔喀什湖-贝加尔湖的高压脊东移而转为宽槽区,青藏高原高压脊减弱消失,高原以东为平直的西风环流,我国东北到日本为高压脊控制时,西北太平洋副热带高压加强北抬,华南降水减弱,连续暴雨过程结束。小波分析表明,连续暴雨期存在准20 d的周期振荡。     

A comprehensive classification of anomalous circulation patterns responsible for persistent precipitation extremes in South China

Based on observational precipitation at 63 stations in South China and NCEP NCAR reanalysis data during 1951 2010,a cluster analysis is performed to classify large-scale circulation patterns responsible for persistent precipitation extremes(PPEs) that are independent of the influence of tropical cyclones(TCs).Conceptual schematics depicting configurations among planetary-scale systems at different levels are established for each type.The PPEs free from TCs account for 38.6%of total events,and they tend to occur during April August and October,with the highest frequency observed in June.Corresponding circulation patterns during June August can be mainly categorized into two types,i.e.,summer-Ⅰ type and summer-Ⅱtype.In summer-Ⅰ type,the South Asian high takes the form of a zonal-belt type.The axis of upstream westerly jets is northwest-oriented.At the middle level,the westerly jets at midlatitudes extend zonally.Along the southern edge of the westerly jet,synoptic eddies steer cold air to penetrate southward;the Bay of Bengal(BOB) trough is located to the north;a shallow trough resides over coastal areas of western South China;and an intensified western Pacific subtropical high(WPSH) extends westward.The anomalous moisture is mainly contributed by horizontal advection via southwesterlies around 20°N and southeasterlies from the southern flange of the WPSH.Moisture convergence maximizes in coastal regions of eastern South China,which is the very place recording extreme precipitation.In summer-Ⅱ type,the South Asian high behaves as a western-center type.The BOB trough is much deeper,accompanied by a cyclone to its north;and a lower-level trough appears in northwestern parts of South China.Different to summer-Ⅰ type,moisture transport via southwesterlies is mostly responsible for the anomalous moisture in this type.The moisture convergence zones cover Guangdong,Guangxi,and Hainan,matching well with the areas of flooding.It is these set combinations among different systems at different levels that trigger PPEs in South China.     

1991、1998和2016年三个大水年长江中下游夏季降水季节内特征的对比

针对长江中下游三个大水年1991、1998和2016年,利用NCEP/NCAR大气环流再分析资料和CMAP降水资料,对比了夏季降水的季节内特征,分析了引起降水季节内变化的大气环流季节内振荡ISO演变及源地。小波分析表明,三年季节内降水周期差异明显,分别为20~30 d、20~40 d和10~20 d。随之,以东亚季风区季节内振荡指数及热带外Rossby波活动通量,诊断了引起三年季节内活动异常的热带和中纬度ISO变率特点。结果显示影响三年季节内降水的ISO差异较大。1991年受到来自印度洋10~30 d和中纬度高层Rossby波10~30 d的ISO共同影响,造成周期为20~30 d的低频降水;1998年ISO来源路径单一,受中北太平洋30~60 d和10~30 d的ISO西传叠加作用,降水表现为20~40 d的振荡;引起2016年季节内降水异常的ISO源地较多,既有来自印度洋向东北传播30~60 d的ISO,又有来自太平洋向西北传播10~30 d的ISO,还有来自热带外10~30 d的ISO,三者在长江中下游汇合,引起降水10~20 d的振荡。研究结果对认识长江中下游夏季集中降水的形成有重要意义。      

北半球中高纬度低频振荡对2012/2013年冬季中国东北极端低温事件的影响

利用NCEP/DOE的逐日再分析资料和国家气象信息中心的常规观测站温度资料,首先分析了2012/2013年冬季中国东北区域极端低温事件过程中区域平均温度的低频振荡变化特征,然后分析了北半球中高纬度对流低层和中层低频环流系统配置的变化及其与东北地区强冷空气活动过程的联系,最后进一步研究了中高纬度低频环流系统的传播特征及其对温度变化的影响。主要结果有:（1）2012/2013年冬季东北区域平均温度存在很强的30～60 d的周期振荡特征,同时伴随较强的10～30 d低频振荡,后者与实际降温过程对应关系更好;（2）对10～30 d的低频振荡而言,在东北地区低频温度变化降低最大的位相7（位相3升高最大）,500 hPa上,我国东部地区正好处于贝加尔湖地区的低频高压（低压）环流和日本海的低频低压（高压）环流型之间的低频偏北（偏南）的较强引导气流中;同时在850 hPa上,我国东部从东北到南海都是较强的偏北（偏南）低频风控制,这使得东亚冬季风环流系统加强（被抑制）,东北区域则经历一次大幅度的低频温度降低（升高）过程,这些高低空低频环流系统的配置和演变导致了2012/2013年冬季一次次强（或较强）的冷空气沿偏东偏北的路径影响我国东北地区,并导致极端低温事件的出现;（3）沿着乌拉尔山-贝加尔湖-我国东北地区-西北太平洋传播的500 hPa低频波列,是驱动2012/2013年冬季东亚冬季风低频振荡和我国东北地区极端低温事件的环流系统。     

中国东部夏季极端降水时空分布及环流背景

基于中国测站的降水资料和NCEP/NCAR逐日再分析资料,取第95百分位数作为极端降水阈值,通过经验正交函数分解(EOF)方法将中国东部分为华南、长江中下游、华北和东北三个地区,定义极端降水事件,并对中国东部夏季极端降水时空分布及环流背景进行研究。结果表明,极端降水事件随日期的变化与中国东部夏季雨带的南北移动相吻合。近54年来,华南极端降水事件频数在1991年左右突增,长江中下游地区有两次突变,1991年左右突增,2000年左右突减。华北和东北地区在1999年左右突减。发生极端降水事件时,低层850 hPa出现局地异常气旋环流,位势高度异常降低,对应低空异常辐合;中层500 hPa,西太副高位置异常偏南有利于华南极端降水的发生,副高西伸有利于长江中下游的极端降水,位置偏北易造成华北和东北极端降水;高层200 hPa,发生极端事件时降水关键区位于西风急流轴右侧,对应异常反气旋环流,这种高层辐散低层辐合的环流配置为极端降水提供动力条件。极端降水的气候平均态水汽主要来源于南半球和西北太平洋。副高的位置异常影响我国东部水汽输送异常,造成不同地区的极端降水。      

2013年长江中下游夏季高温干旱演变过程及环流异常成因简析

利用改进的CIn指数,结合NCEP/NCAR再分析资料,逐候分析2013年夏季长江中下游地区高温干旱演变过程和高温异常成因。结果表明：改进后的CIn指数能够准确识别此次干旱过程,整体持续时间近一个月。旱情从7月第4候湖南南部开始,8月第3候干旱程度最强,特旱中心位于湖南省中东部,浙江省为高温中心,8月第4候旱情得到缓解。在干旱成因上,极涡位置异常偏西,影响长江中下游地区冷空气偏弱,南亚高压东伸与西太平洋副热带高压西伸明显;鄂霍次克海至菲律宾一带呈较强的EAP遥相关型,其中长江中下游地区位势高度的正异常加强了西太平洋副热带高压的中心强度并使其位置偏西;乌拉尔山地区的阻塞高压与西太平洋副热带高压相对峙,有利于西太平洋副热带高压长期稳定地控制在长江中下游地区;同时欧亚大陆与西太平洋海陆温差增大,东亚夏季风偏强,西太平洋副热带高压异常偏北,长江中下游地区下沉气流强盛,在西太平洋副热带高压和南亚高压共同作用下,造成持续的高温干旱过程。     

2014年秋季我国华西地区降水异常的成因分析

2014年秋季,全国平均降水量较常年同期偏多,其中华西地区降水偏多明显。季内,我国华西地区降水阶段性变化显著。分析表明,秋季华西地区降水偏多可能与热带印度洋海温偏高有关。印度洋海温偏高,一方面有利于西北太平洋地区对流层低层异常反气旋式环流的发展和东南水汽输送的加强,另一方面印度洋海温的偏高有利于印度洋地区对流的活跃和西南水汽输送的加强。在中高纬地区,贝加尔湖地区为异常低槽区,易引导冷空气南下影响我国华西地区。同时,西太平洋副热带高压强度偏强及西伸脊点的偏西,综合导致华西地区秋季降水偏多。而华西地区降水的季内变化与西太平洋副热带高压的异常活动有关。     

Typical Circulation Patterns and Associated Mechanisms for Persistent Heavy Rainfall Events over Yangtze–Huaihe River Valley during 1981–2020※

Persistent heavy rainfall events (PHREs) over the Yangtze–Huaihe River Valley (YHRV) during 1981–2020 are classified into three types (type-A, type-B and type-C) according to pattern correlation. The characteristics of the synoptic systems for the PHREs and their possible development mechanisms are investigated. The anomalous cyclonic disturbance over the southern part of the YHRV during type-A events is primarily maintained and intensified by the propagation of Rossby wave energy originating from the northeast Atlantic in the mid–upper troposphere and the northward propagation of Rossby wave packets from the western Pacific in the mid–lower troposphere. The zonal propagation of Rossby wave packets and the northward propagation of Rossby wave packets during type-B events are more coherent than those for type-A events, which induces eastward propagation of stronger anomaly centers of geopotential height from the northeast Atlantic Ocean to the YHRV and a meridional anomaly in geopotential height over the Asian continent. Type-C events have "two ridges and one trough" in the high latitudes of the Eurasian continent, but the anomalous intensity of the western Pacific subtropical high (WPSH) and the trough of the YHRV region are weaker than those for type-A and type-B events. The composite synoptic circulation of four PHREs in 2020 is basically consistent with that of the corresponding PHRE type. The location of the South Asian high (SAH) in three of the PHREs in 2020 moves eastward as in the composite of the three types, but the position of the WPSH of the four PHREs is clearly westward and northward. Two water vapor conveyor belts and two cold air conveyor belts are tracked during the four PHREs in 2020, but the water vapor path from the western Pacific is not seen, which may be caused by the westward extension of the WPSH.     

大气低频振荡对2015年冬季华北强降温事件的影响

利用1980—2016年中国日最低温度和NCEP/NCAR再分析资料,分析了大气低频振荡对华北2015年冬季区域强降温事件（Regional Extremely Cold Event,简称RECE）的影响。结果表明：1）两次过程均与最低温度10～20 d低频分量从峰到谷值的变化相应。2）第一（二）次过程巴尔喀什湖-贝加尔湖（简称巴-贝湖）高压位置偏西（偏东北）,西伯利亚高压偏南（偏北）,东亚大槽呈东北-西南（南-北）走向,阿留申低压偏深（偏西偏深）,无（有）北极涛动负异常,高低层冷空气源地均位于贝湖北部60°N附近（巴湖以北上空和华北局地）,降温较慢（快速）。地中海低频扰动能量的持续输送是造成两次降温过程持续时间差异的原因之一。3）-18 d （-12 d）500 hPa高度场中西欧低频负（正）异常,是华北强降温事件的延伸期预报参考信号。     

超强厄尔尼诺事件海洋学特征分析与预测回顾

2015/2016年厄尔尼诺事件被认为是一次与1982/1983和1997/1998年相当的超强事件。基于多套再分析数据,比较了此次事件的海洋上层变量主要特征与历史上两次超强事件的异同,并利用热带太平洋混合层热收支方程对主要物理过程进行了定量分析。研究认为,2015/2016年事件前期为异常高海温东传特征,且前期形成了一次弱的中太平洋型暖事件;但后期表现为弱西传特征,在成熟位相转换成东太平洋型强厄尔尼诺。此次事件中伴随着多次西风爆发事件和开尔文波东传,但赤道开尔文波在盛期基本维持在中东太平洋而不继续东传,赤道外罗斯贝波西传特征亦不明显。相比之下,此次事件在发展-成熟期前后的赤道“热容量放电”过程更加明显些。此次事件异常暖中心位置偏西,其主要原因很可能与赤道东太平洋的强东风异常和冷海水上翻,以及纬向洋流异常和次表层温度异常分布偏西有关;东边界冷水入侵,削弱赤道东太平洋海温异常程度,可能是此次事件位置偏西的直接原因。在海洋上层热量收支中,此次事件中温跃层反馈是促进海温升高和位相转换的最关键过程,纬向平流反馈项亦发挥了重要作用,两种过程共同形成了超强的升温幅度和偏西的异常暖海温分布型。中国国家气候中心新一代ENSO预测系统（SEMAP2.0）每年两次的实际会商预测中给出了较为合理的预测,特别是考虑前期海洋变化预报因子信息的统计模型更好地预测出了海温异常的波动演变状况,成为多方法集合（MME）的重要成员。      

大气低频振荡对四川盆地持续性强降水的影响

利用1981—2016年我国地面气象站降水资料和NCEP/NCAR再分析资料,通过小波分析、合成分析、Butterworth滤波等方法,定义了适用于四川盆地的持续性强降水,对降水和大气15~30 d低频振荡特征进行详细分析,可为该地延伸期预报提供参考。结果表明:该地降水具有15~30 d和30~60 d低频振荡特征,其中以15~30 d振荡为主。降水期间各高度层和各纬度带低频系统具有垂直斜压性,在三维空间上相互配合,形成有利于降水产生的低频环流形势。低层和中层南北气流汇合于四川盆地形成辐合区,高层表现为北风南下。低层低纬度气旋在西太平洋生成并逐渐向西北移动至南海、华南,带来暖湿气流,中高纬度贝加尔湖东南侧生成气旋并向东移动至鄂霍次克海附近,加强北风输送。中层中高纬度欧亚大陆低压中心向东南方移动,降水时到达蒙古,并分裂小槽传播至下游,在日本海加强,高压中心紧随其后到达乌拉尔山。降水期间四川盆地上空高层为辐散区,有利于中低层辐合上升运动的维持。     

Persistent Heavy Rainfall over South China During May-August：Subseasonal Anomalies of Circulation and Sea Surface Temperature

This study investigates the relationship between subseasonal variations of the circulation and sea surface temperature（SST） over the South China–East Asian coastal region（EACR） in association with the persistent heavy rainfall（PHR） events over South China during May–August through statistical analysis. Based on the intensity threshold and duration criterion of the daily rainfall, a total of 63 May–June（MJ） and 59July–August（JA） PHR events are selected over South China from 1979 to 2011. The lower-level circulation anomalies on subseasonal timescale exhibit an anomalous cyclone over South China and an anomalous anticyclone shaped like a tongue over the South China Sea（SCS） during the PHR events for MJ group.The anomalous cyclone over South China in MJ originates from low-value systems in the mid-high latitudes before the rainfall. The anomalous anticyclone over the SCS is due to the westward extension of the western Pacific subtropical high（WPSH） and the southeastward propagation of the anomalous anticyclone from South China before the rainfall. For JA group, the lower-level anomalous circulation pattern is similar to that for MJ over the South China–EACR, but with di？erent features of propagation. The subseasonal anomalous anticyclone is also related to the westward stretch of the WPSH, while the anomalous cyclone is traced back to the weak anomalous cyclone over the Philippine Sea several days before the rainfall events.Positive SST anomaly（SSTA） is observed over the SCS and the Philippine Sea during the MJ PHR events on the subseasonal timescale. It is closely linked with the variation of local anomalous anticyclone. In contrast, negative SSTA occupies the South China coastal region for the JA PHR events, and it is driven by the anomalous cyclone which propagates northwestward from the Philippine Sea. The subseasonal positive（negative） SSTAs are generated via the local processes of above（below）-normal incident solar radiation and below（above）-normal latent heat fluxes. The possible role of the subseasonal SSTA in the local convective instability is also analyzed in this study.     

2014年南京两次弱降雪过程的对比分析

利用常规观测资料和NCEP再分析资料,结合多普勒雷达等资料,对2014年2月9—10日江苏大部分地区出现的两次弱降雪过程进行了成因分析。结果表明:9日的降雪是由中层西风槽东移影响,槽前西南暖湿气流在低层冷空气垫上爬升所致,是一次层状云降雪;10日的降雪则是低空冷空气主体偏北东移,内陆偏西地区低空风速随之明显减小,而东部沿海地区风速变化不大,从而使得辐合上升区西扩所致;10日低空上升运动带来的低云降雪,尺度小,且具有类似弱对流系统的特征。常规业务中使用的数值预报产品(如EC)并不能准确预报这两次弱降雪过程,特别是10日过程预报效果较差,而WRF模式则对10日过程把握较好。     

广东低温阴雨的低频振荡及环流特征

为了做好广东2—3月低温阴雨的中期与延伸期预报,该文分析了1953—2011年广州低温阴雨年景变化与广东低温阴雨年景变化的关系,并采用小波分析、相关分析等方法探讨了12月—次年4月广州逐日气温的低频振荡及与低温阴雨的关系。结果表明:广州低温阴雨的年景变化与广东年景一致的相同率达94.9%(56/59)。轻度低温阴雨年份,12月—次年4月广州逐日气温主要存在8.0~18.3 d显著周期,而中等及严重年份主要存在10.1~28.4 d及30~89.6 d的振荡。2—3月长低温阴雨主要与18 d以上的周期振荡有关,尤其与45 d以上的季节内振荡强度变化密切相关。利用典型个例的合成分析,建立了长低温阴雨30~64 d季节内振荡的天气概念模型,它们反映了长低温阴雨回暖—降温—开始—维持—结束的大气环流演变特征,其中乌拉尔山—贝加尔湖以西的阻塞高压可作为广东出现长低温阴雨的500 hPa前兆信号。     

中国东南部与川渝陕甘地区夏季降水 30～60天CISO的反相现象

利用1979～2010年NCEP/NCAR逐日再分析资料和我国753站逐日降水资料,研究了中国东南部和川渝陕甘地区夏季降水30～60天气候季节内振荡（Climatological IntraSeasonal Oscillation,CISO）的反相现象。结果显示两个区域夏季降水CISO在7月中旬之前存在显著的反相关系,且在传播特征上有明显差异。川渝陕甘地区降水局地低频振荡显著,中国东南部降水CISO北传特征清晰。低频环流分析表明,对流层低层低频槽、脊的更替形成了川渝陕甘地区降水CISO的“驻相”振荡,低频气旋式、反气旋式环流位置的移动则产生了中国东南部降水CISO的北传。CISO垂直环流显示上升支与下沉支正好处于川渝陕甘地区与中国东南部,较好地反映了低频降水在两区域的相反变化。中国东南部、长江中下游与川渝陕甘地区三者之间存在动力学上的关联,这可部分地解释川渝陕甘地区和中国东南部之间降水CISO的反相关系。这种反相关系的形成还与气候态下的西太平洋副热带高压和贝加尔湖附近大陆高压脊的季节内变化有关。揭示中国东南部与川渝陕甘地区之间降水CISO的反相现象对于丰富人们对我国夏季风区低频振荡局地特征的认识和理解降水季节内振荡产生机制有重要意义。     

大气低频变化对福建前汛期典型持续性暴雨影响

在分析福建前汛期典型持续性暴雨过程大气低频变化特征基础上,建立了福建前汛期典型持续性暴雨大气低频扰动物理概念模型:典型持续性暴雨发生期间,对流层高层朝鲜半岛至渤海湾为低频低压,青藏高原西侧为弱高压,副热带西风急流核位于长江口至东海上空,福建上空为低频辐散区;对流层中层高度场低频分量中高纬度地区若出现贝加尔湖阻塞高压加强型、乌拉尔山及鄂霍次克海双阻塞高压加强型、鄂霍次克海阻塞高压加强型和乌拉尔山阻塞高压加强型4种低频扰动之一,福建上空为低频低值区;对流层低层低频流场福建上空为低频气旋控制,气旋中心位于江南或南海上空,如此高低空低频系统配置将引起异常的低频垂直经向环流,从而导致典型持续性暴雨的形成。
