Analyses and calculation facts of the baroclinic term in synoptic-scale motion over tropics

Analyses are made of all terms in the vorticity equation for the atmosphere at low latitudes by using the scale analysis theory, with the result that for synotic-scale motion the baroclinic term, i. e. the twisting term and the vorticity vertical-transport term, approximates in order to the relative-vorticity advection, divergence and β term. With intensified atmospheric disturbance ratios of the β term to others become smaller while the others stay in more or less fixed proportions between them. This statement has been confirmed by the results of 22 typhoons calculated covering a large area in low latitudes. Besides, the baroclinic term for the genesis and development of 6 typhoons over 1979－1980 is calculated and the results ob-tained show that it has significant effect. Finally, the baroclinicity is shown not to be ignored in dealing with synoptics and dynamics of synoptic-scale systems such as typhoons and easterly waves.     

双台风“纳沙”和“海棠”登陆后强度变化成因及对比分析

利用NCEP（National Centers for Environmental Prediction）再分析资料对2017年双台风“纳沙”（1709）和“海棠”（1710）先后登陆福建后的强度变化特征进行对比分析。结果表明：低纬水汽输送的强弱变化是造成双台风强度变化的主要原因,而越赤道气流对水汽输送起到关键作用。副热带西风急流与中低空风场强弱变化一致,西风急流增强伴随中低空东风加强是“海棠”陆上强度维持不减的原因之一,反之“纳沙”快速减弱。双台风效应对强度变化也起着重要作用：双台风靠近相吸作用下,“纳沙”残余环流卷入“海棠”环流中,为其输送正涡度因子及斜压能量,也是促使“海棠”强度维持的原因。台风登陆后,其上空三种不同层差的垂直风切变值表现一致减小的变化趋势及低于6 m·s^-1的风切,有利于弱台“海棠”陆上长久维持。海岸锋生及海表通量动热力因子对“海棠”右侧中小尺度对流发展和维持起到重要作用,加剧了“海棠”非对称性结构,促使“海棠”强度维持不减。     

The structure of low frequency phenomena in the tropics and its interaction with the extratropics

The structure of planetary scale low frequency phenomena in the tropics is studied, and an attempt is made to de-termine its influence and interactions with phenomena at higher latitudes.In the tropics, it is found that the majority of the variance in the zonal wind structure is made up in wave num-bers 1 and 2. During warm events in the Pacific Ocean, when the Southern Oscillation Index is negative, almost all of the variance resides in the gravest mode which undergoes a 40o eastward phase shift. Meanwhile, the second logitudinal mode almost disappears. On the other hand, the meridional wind field possesses maximum amplitude at higher wave numbers. However, near the equator, the amplitude is small with extreme values occurring in the subtropics. The difference in scale and the location of extrema of the meridional and zonal wind components indicate that the tropical atmosphere is responding to two different driving mechanisms,Correlation analyses between variations of the zonal wind at reference points along the equator with variations of component elsewhere show that there are strong logitudinal connections. The strongest correlations between the tropics and higher latitudes exist in the region of the equatorial westerlies. In fact, stronger correlations occur between variations in U anywhere along the equator and the middle latitudes to the north and south of the equatorial wester-lies than to the latitudes immediately to the north and south of the reference points. We interpret this “remote” corre-lation pattern as indicating a two-stage teleconnection process which emphasizes the importance of the equatorial tropical westerlies of the Pacific Ocean as a “corridor” of communication between the low and high latitudes. The regionality of the correlations confirms, to some extent, recent theoretical development regarding trapped equatorial modes. Finally, time lagged correlations from plus and minus six months between variations of U and OLR indicate that the interactions between the extratropics and low latitudes possess an organized sequence. The extratropical in-fluence appears to propagate into the tropics followed by an eastward propagation along the equator. Finally, a propagation from the tropics to the extratropics in the upper troposphere occurs in the eastern Pacific Ocean. The time-lagged correlation sequence does not appear to be symmetric about the equator.

双台风相互作用的数值研究

无基本气流的情况下，应用无辐散正压模式对初始呈西北-东南等方位的双台风相互作用进行数值研究，探讨了非对称理论在双台风相互作用中的应用。试验结果表明：双台风的运动特征能够运用非对称理论进行解释；非对称流函数场中，通风气流分别控制着双台风的移动，同时双台风的移动对其对应的非对称结构具有反作用。试验还表明，台风非对称结构内小尺度涡旋的强度及其绕台风中心逆时针旋转的快慢与台风路径的摆动关系密切：模式可以模拟出台风逆时针打转、“蛇形”摆动等异常移动路径。

On the cisk with shearing basic current

The shearing basic current is introduced into the conditional instability of second kind (CISK) theory and the influence of the shearing basic current on the growth rate of the typhoon depression is investigated with a simple theoretic model in this paper.The vertical shearing basic current could restrain the CISK. It is in agreement with the tropospheric ventilating condition. The cyclonic shearing basic current in the lower troposphere makes an increase of the growth rate. It could explain the synoptic facts that the enhancement of the equatorial westerly or the southwest monsoon and the cold wave with moderate strength are conductive to the eneration and development of typhoons. The cyclonic (anticyclonic) shearing basic flow in the upper troposphere could make a decrease (an increase) of the growth rate. These agree with Simpson's conclusion.

百余年来影响福建热带气旋的变化特征

应用1884—2003年影响福建的热带气旋资料, 采用突变分析、最大熵谱分析、连续小波变换以及正交小波变换等方法研究百余年来影响福建热带气旋频数变化的多时间尺度特征及其异常年份的海气背景场特征。结果表明:百余年来福建经历了3次少台期和2次多台期, 影响福建热带气旋频数具有准13年、准4年和准2.5年的振荡周期, 1971年为年频数变化的突变点; 影响福建热带气旋频数近百年呈弱的上升趋势, 但近十几年略微下降, 未来有偏多的趋势; 影响福建热带气旋异常偏多 (少) 的年份, 夏季500 hPa高度场上, 鄂霍次克海地区位势高度偏低 (高), 从高纬到低纬呈“-+-”(“ +-+”) 的距平型, 纬 (经) 向环流占优势, 西风带低槽偏北 (南), 副热带高压北界偏北 (南), 副热带高压脊线偏北 (南); 赤道中、东太平洋为明显的带状负 (正) SSTA距平区, 同时西太平洋热带气旋主要源区和西北太平洋上皆为正 (负) SSTA距平。由此可见, 影响福建热带气旋频数多寡与西太平洋热带气旋生成区的海温有关, 同时大气环流系统的位置和强弱对热带气旋路径的变化起着关键性作用, 从而使影响福建热带气旋频数的变化。

2018年台风“摩羯”和“温比亚”路径的影响因子分析

利用中国气象局(CMA)提供的热带气旋最佳路径资料和欧洲中心(ECMWF)提供的ERA interim再分析资料,对2018年两个北上影响山东的台风"摩羯"和"温比亚"路径差异的原因进行分析发现:"摩羯"和"温比亚"台风路径的差异主要与周围天气系统分布差异有关,两台风均先后受到副热带高压和大陆高压的影响,"温比亚"还受高空槽的影响,使其转向角度较大,而台风与高压系统相互作用形成的引导气流是影响这两个台风路径的主要因素。"摩羯"和"温比亚"的最佳引导气流均位于台风中心5个纬度半径内,不同阶段所受引导气流的高度存在差异,台风登陆前中低层引导气流对台风移向的指示作用均优于高层,登陆后转向前纬向引导气流均优于经向,但稳定性稍差,转向后除"温比亚"经向引导气流相关较差外均整层相关较好,中高层略优于低层,且高层风(300～200hPa)可以提前12h预报台风转向。此外,台风总是向着台风附近的正涡度平流方向移动,正涡度平流越强,台风移动越快。

Relationships between the West Asian subtropical westerly jet and summer precipitation in northern Xinjiang

The relation between the spatial and temporal variations of the West Asian subtropical westerly jet (WASWJ) and the summer precipitation in northern Xinjiang has been explored using the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data and the summer precipitation data at 43 stations in northern Xinjiang during 1961 to 2007. Results show that the position of the WASWJ is more important than its strength in influencing the summer precipitation in northern Xinjiang. When the jet position is further south, the anomalous southwesterly flow crossing the Indian subcontinent along the southern foothill of the Tibetan Plateau is favorable for the southwestward warm and wet air penetrating from low latitudes into Central Asia and northern Xinjiang and more rainfall formation. Further analysis shows that the interannual variations of the jet position are well correlated with the Arctic Oscillation (AO). In the weak AO years, the middle to upper troposphere becomes colder than normal and results in an anomalous cyclonic circulation at 200 hPa over Western and Central Asia, which enhances the westerly wind over middle and low latitudes and leads to the WASWJ located further south.     

赤道东太平洋热力状况对西太平洋台风发生频率的影响

Regional Characteristics of Typhoon-Induced Ocean Eddies in the East China Sea

The asymmetrical structure of typhoon-induced ocean eddies(TIOEs) in the East China Sea(including the Yellow Sea)and the accompanying air–sea interaction are studied using reanalysis products. Thirteen TIOEs are analyzed and divided into three groups with the k-prototype method: Group A with typhoons passing through the central Yellow Sea; Group B with typhoons re-entering the sea from the western Yellow Sea after landing on continental China; and Group C with typhoons occurring across the eastern Yellow Sea near to the Korean Peninsula. The study region is divided into three zones(Zones Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ) according to water depth and the Kuroshio position. The TIOEs in Group A are the strongest and could reverse part of the Kuroshio stream, while TIOEs in the other two groups are easily deformed by topography. The strong currents of the TIOEs impact on the latent heat flux distribution and upward transport, which facilitates the typhoon development. The strong divergence within the TIOEs favors an upwelling-induced cooling. A typical TIOE analysis shows that the intensity of the upwelling of TIOEs is proportional to the water depth, but its magnitude is weaker than the upwelling induced by the topography. In Zones Ⅰ and Ⅱ, the vertical dimensions of TIOEs and their strong currents are much less than the water depths.In shallow water Zone Ⅲ, a reversed circulation appears in the lower layer. The strong currents can lead to a greater, faster,and deeper energy transfer downwards than at the center of TIOEs.     

Sea-ice effects on climate model sensitivity and low frequency variability

A change in a sea-ice parameter in a global coupled climate model results in a reduction in amplitude (of about 60%) and a shortening of the predominant period of decadal low frequency variability in the time series of globally averaged surface air temperature. These changes are global in extent and also are reflected in time series of area-averaged SSTs in the equatorial eastern Pacific Ocean, the principal components of the first EOFs of global surface air temperature and sea level pressure, Asian monsoon precipitations and other quantities. Coupled ocean-atmosphere-sea ice processes acting on a global scale are modified to produce these changes. Global climate sensitivity is reduced when ice albedo feedback is weakened due to the change in sea ice that makes it more difficult to melt. The changes in the amplitude and time scale of the low frequency variability in the model are traced to changes in the base state of the climate simulations as affected by modifications associated with the changes in sea ice. Making sea ice more difficult to melt results in increased sea-ice area, colder high latitudes, increased meridional surface temperature gradients, and, to a first order, stronger surface winds in most regions which strengthen near-surface currents, particularly in the Northern Hemisphere, and decreases the advection time scale in the upper ocean gyres. Additionally, in the North Atlantic there is enhanced meridional overturning due to increased density mainly in the Greenland Sea region. This also contributes to an intensified North Atlantic gyre. The changes in base state due to the sea ice change result in a more predominant decadal time scale of near 14 years and significantly reduced contributions from lower frequencies in the range of 15–40 year periods.
