FY-2E云迹风资料的高度调整对“灿都”(1003)台风路径数值预报影响的研究

首先分析了FY-2E云迹风资料在不同高度上的分布,并利用背景场信息对云迹风资料的高度进行整体调整,然后进行数值对比试验,即将高度调整前和高度调整后的云迹风资料分别同化到GRAPES-3DVAR系统中,比较分析同化这两种资料对2010年7月21日0000 UTC—23日0000 UTC的台风路径预报的影响。结果表明,在垂直方向上,500 hPa以上才有云迹风资料,大约在300 hPa的资料最多;文中提出的重定高方法能有效地重新调整云迹风资料的高度,调整后的云迹风分布没有明显的矛盾,分布合理;同化重定高后的云迹风资料后,尤其是水汽通道的云迹风资料,能合理地对初始风场进行调整,使"灿都"台风周围的引导气流有利于其向实测路径靠近,进而有效改进台风路径预报。

云迹风计算中的两个几何问题

文章分析了云迹风计算工作中所遇到的两个几何问题，即图像匹配问题和风矢量计算问题。图像匹配问题是指用于计算云迹风的两幅图像如果定位网格不一致，如何通过图像匹配来减少云迹风的计算误差。风矢量计算问题是指在已得到示踪云位置时，如何准确地求出风向风速。云迹风的计算在本质上是一个几何问题，几何处理周密是减少云迹风计算误差的一个重要途径。     

FY-2C云迹风资料在中尺度数值模式中的应用研究

利用探空观测资料对FY-2C云迹风资料进行统计检验和误差分析,并针对其误差特征进行偏差订正和热成风原理两种方法的质量控制.然后通过GRAPES-3Dvar同化到GRAPES-Meso模式中,对2005年7月1日00时至7月2日00时发生在中国西北部的一次暴雨过程进行了数值对比试验.结果表明:云迹风数量在垂直方向上主要集中分布于500 hPa以上的对流层中高层,在250 hPa附近数量分布概率最大;高度在500 hPa以下云迹风存在明显的风向误差和很大的风速误差,而且误差分布发散,可用性较差.500 hPa以上层次的云迹风误差较小,且误差分布呈高斯分布具有一定的系统特性,可用性较好;通过质量控制后,可以把风向错误或风速偏差太大的云迹风予以剔除,进一步提高云迹风的精度;同化云迹风资料后,在暴雨区附近初始风场低层的西南气流明显加强,有利于暴雨区水汽输送和水汽辐合,最终能很好地改善24 h暴雨预报的强度和落区.     

规定高度风向风速的查表法

在小球测风的计算中,规定高度和规定的等压面高度往往介于某两个量得风层高度之间,在求取各规定高度的风向风速时,有的按照内插公式直接计算,有的根据量得风层的时间间隔(n)和规定高度与量得风层的时间差(Δt),在风向风速内插表中选择相     

用红外和水汽两个通道的卫星测值指定云迹风的高度

提出了一种改进的用红外和水汽两个通道的测值指定云迹风高度的算法。利用红外水汽散点图和云迹风本身自动地将有低云的目标区、有半透明卷云的目标区、有密蔽高云的目标区分开。在有低云的目标区和有密蔽高云的目标区用红外一个通道指定云高。在有半透明卷云的目标区用红外和水汽两个通道指定云高。在用两个通道的测值指定云高时，假定卷云高度以上不存在水汽，以红外和水汽两个通道亮温相同这个方程与两个通道辐射测值线性相关的方程联立解出云的高度

不同观测资料在西南地区数值预报中的应用

利用3.4版WRF同化与预报系统开展自动站、探空、GPS大气可降水量和云迹风资料的同化对比试验,了解现有业务中已同化观测资料在新版系统中的应用效果,确定资料同化优选方案,为西南区域中心数值预报业务改进提供参考。试验表明:(1)自动站资料测站多、分布不均,对初猜场低层要素调整作用大,会减小温度、相对湿度误差;探空资料站点少、垂直信息丰富,对初猜场各层误差减小均有贡献;云迹风资料垂直分布不均,集中在对流层中高层,因此对初猜场的最大调整集中在中高层,会减小位势高度误差;GPS测站少,被剔除的比例高,对初猜场调整作用很小;(2)单独同化试验发现探空、云迹风资料有助于该地区降水预报改进,而自动站和GPS资料对降水预报有负作用;(3)同时同化探空、云迹风资料有利于西南地区降水预报准确率提高,尤其对大降水中心预报。     

云迹风反演中高密度示踪云选取技术的研究

云迹风反演中的一项很重要的工作是选取随风移动、变化缓慢的云，即示踪云。文中设计了一种示踪云选取算法，以改善云迹风的质量和密度分布。该算法的特色是反演风的位置并不固定在反演网格的中心位置，而是通过梯度分析的方法使反演风的位置得到优化，再经过积雨云检测和灰度分布均匀程度检验，剔除不适合用来反演的目标物。对用该方法选取的示踪云进行云迹风反演，然后对反演出的云迹风进行环流分析，并与探空风进行比较。结果表明，反演出的云迹风质量好，密度很高，清晰地反映出天气系统的风场结构。

针对0505号台风“海棠”, 采用WRF区域中尺度模式进行控制试验和两个同化试验, 利用WRF-3DVAR同化系统同化FY-2C红外和水汽两个通道云迹风反演产品, 同化分云迹风经质量控制和未经质量控制两组同化试验。通过三组试验分析云迹风资料对降水和风场等的预报结果的影响, 并进行24小时降水量分级Ts评分检验以及风场点对点检验。结果表明: 同化经质量控制云迹风资料可以提高降水落区和强度预报的准确度, 不同等级的Ts评分较其它试验都有较明显改进; 风场预报模拟也有所改善。增加两例台风, 使用与“海棠” 相似的处理方法进行模拟试验, 并对模拟结果24小时降水分析与检验, 得到与“海棠”类似结论。因此, 经过合理性选择的云迹风资料的加入, 有利于补充初始场中可能未包含的中尺度信息, 从而提高试验中对于降水、风场等的模拟效果, 提高WRF模式的模拟预报能力。     

A comparison of satellite winds and surface buoy winds in the northeast Pacific: Research note

Abstract

Cloud‐motion winds measured from organized and disorganized cumulus cloud fields are compared with winds measured at collocated buoys in the northeast Pacific Ocean. Findings suggest that an automated tracking algorithm using GOES satellite imagery can measure cloud‐level winds at these latitudes. Comparisons with buoy wind measurements show that the influence of boundary‐layer stability should be included in estimates of surface winds from cloud‐motion data.     

SOME STATISTICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND THE APPLICATION OF JAPANESE GMS LOW CLOUD WINDS

A statistical study of GMS low cloud winds in January,April,July and October,1983 shows that on an average,there exist 223.5 low cloud winds over western North Pacific each synoptic time.The low cloud winds have a diurnal change with more low cloud winds at 12 Z than at 00 Z. The wind fields at 850 hPa over western North Pacific,with and without application of low cloud winds, have been analyzed by a successive correction scheme.The results indicate that the flow patterns without low cloud winds are considerably distorted from short of wind data over the oceanic region.On the contrary,with application of low cloud winds,the flow patterns get much more improved over the oceanic region.     

Mesoscale Structure of Rainstorm Retrieved from Dual-Doppler Radar Observations Using the 4DVAR Assimilation Technique

The four-dimensional variational (4DVAR) data assimilation method was applied to dual-Doppler radar data about two Meiyu rainstorms observed during CHeRES (China Heavy Rain Experiment and Study). The purpose of this study is to examine the performance of the 4DVAR technique in retrieving rainstorm mesoscale structure and to reveal the feature of rainstorm mesoscale structure. Results demonstrated that the 4DVAR assimilation method was able to retrieve the detailed structure of wind, thermodynamics, and microphysics fields from dual-Doppler radar observations. The retrieved wind fields agreed with the dual-Doppler synthesized winds and were accurate. The distributions of the retrieved perturbation pressure, perturbation temperature, and microphysics fields were also reasonable through the examination of their physical consistency. Both of the two heavy rainfalls were caused by merging cloud processes. The wind shear and convergence lines at middle and lower levels were their primary dynamical characteristics. The convective system was often related to low-level convergence and upper-level divergence coupled with up-drafts. During its mature stage, the convective system was characterized by low pressure at lower level and high pressure at upper level, associated with warmer at middle level and colder at lower and upper levels than the environment. However, a region of cooling and high pressure occurred in the lower and middle levels compared to warming and low pressure in the upper level during its dissipating stage. The water vapor, cloud water, and rainwater corresponded to the convergence, the updraft and the intensive reflectivity, respectively.

Construction of vertical wind profile from satellite-derived winds for objective analysis of wind field

During summer Monex-79, a variety of observing systems viz. research ships, research aircrafts, constant pres-sure balloons and geostationary satellite etc. were deployed, besides the regular conventional observations The pur-pose of these additional systems was to make the best possible data for the studies on various aspects of monsoon cir-culation. The present study is aimed at the construction of vertical wind profile using cloud motion vectors obtained from GOES (I-O) satellite and to examine whether the constructed wind profiles improves the representation of the monsoon system, flow pattern etc. in the objective analysis. For this purpose, climatological normals of the wind field are considered as the initial guess and the objective analyses of the wind field are made with, first using only data from conventional observations over land areas, subsequently including the constructed winds from cloud motion vectors. These analyses are then compared with the standard analyses of wind field obtained from Quick Look Atlas by T. N. Krishnamurti et al. (1979).It is inferred that satellite estimated mean wind profiles show good agreement with the mean wind profiles of the research ships with RMS errors less than 5 mps below 500 hPa and less than 8 mps above 500 hPa. It is further infer-red that the inclusion of constructed winds shows a positive impact on the objective analysis and improvement is seen to be more marked in the data-sparse region of the Arabian sea. Analyses which include the constructed winds show better agreement with the standard analysis, than the analyses obtained using only conventional winds. Thus, results of our study suggest that the wind profiles constructed using cloud motion vectors are of potential use in objective analysis to depict the major circulation features over the Indian region.     

Kinematics, cloud microphysics and spatial structures of tropical cloud clusters: A two-dimensional cloud-resolving modeling study

Kinematics, cloud microphysics and spatial structures of tropical cloud clusters are investigated using hourly outputs from a two-dimensional cloud-resolving model simulation. The model is forced by the large-scale vertical velocity, zonal wind and horizontal advections obtained from Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA COARE). A period of 1600–2300 LST 21 December 1992 is selected for this study when the zonal-mean westerly winds in the lower troposphere intensify while the zonal-mean easterly winds above weaken. Under the vertical-shear environment, there are a westward-propagating cloud cluster, a newly-formed cloud cluster, and four eastward-moving cloud clusters. Two weak eastward-moving cloud clusters merge into strong westward-moving cloud clusters. Merged clouds display notable growth in the eastern edge, indicating that merging processes enhance convection. The development of the new cloud at the western edge of the existing cloud cluster before merging may account for the westward propagation of cloud cluster group, while the advection of the maximum total hydrometeor mixing ratio by the westerly winds after merging may cause the eastward propagation of individual cloud clusters.     

低层偏南气流对一次暴雨过程的动力作用分析和数值模拟

利用常规观测资料和NCEP再分析资料,对2010年7月22-25日四川盆地西部出现的一次暴雨过程进行了诊断分析.结果表明:暴雨出现在对流层低层南海至四川盆地一直维持偏南气流的环流背景下,暴雨与这支偏南气流的风速演变密切相关,降雨强度随南风气流的增强而增强,南风气流增强所形成的风速辐合及正涡度平流是暴雨的主要动力触发因子,暴雨与低层辐合和正涡度平流区域有很好的对应关系.WRF数值模拟试验进一步表明:850 hPa层3h风速演变对中尺度对流系统的发展具有很好的指示意义,在3h风速增大区域的下风方,未来3h对流云团将迅速发展;盆地西部形成的气流辐合与其西侧的高原地形密切相关.
