基于地基微波辐射计遥感的天津大气水汽和液态水特征

利用2013年3月至2017年2月天津西青地基35通道微波辐射计观测资料,分析天津地区大气水汽和液态水特征。结果表明：天津地区各季节积分水汽和积分液态水的日变化趋势基本一致,均呈单峰型日变化特征,其中夏季最大,秋季次之,冬季最小。各季节积分水汽最大值出现在23：00时（北京时,下同）的概率均明显大于其他时次,夏季和冬季的积分液态水的最大值出现在14时的概率最大,春季和秋季分别出现在10时和13时的概率最大。天津地区水汽密度由地面至3.5 km处逐渐减小,递减梯度由夏季、秋季、春季和冬季的顺序依次增大,各季节从1.5 km往上日变化均不明显。1 km以下,春季、夏季和秋季平均水汽密度的日变化曲线呈双峰型,主峰值分别出现在08时、11时和12时左右。冬季呈单峰型变化,峰值区出现在12-16时。液态水密度随高度分层变化,夏季的液态水密度大值区（0.08-0.14 g·m^-3）为5-6 km,在18-20时出现最大值。秋季、春季和冬季液态水密度的大值区出现的高度为1.5-3.5 km,但数值依次减小,春季和冬季的最大值出现在05时前后,秋季则出现在02时左右。另外天津地区水汽、液态水与温度和降水量的变化趋势基本一致,除夏季06-18时及冬季部分时次外,水汽与温度呈正相关。液态水与温度相关性较差,但与降水量呈正相关,全年液态水与降水量夜间的相关性大于白天。     

青藏高原季风期降水的日变化

利用1998年夏季GAME－TIBET IOT期间的探空、降水和雷达资料分析了季风期降水和CAPE、LCL热力参量的日变化及其之间的关系。降水的日变化很明显，最大的降水和CAPE的最大值出现在同一时间段。6km和8.5km高度内的大气层结在大部分时间是不稳定的。0400－0800时间内6km以下9km以上的稳定层结阻碍了对流系统的发展，降水的日变化与这些热力参数的日变化有关。同时，利用三维云模式模拟了降水的日变化和水汽及温度对降水的影响，云模式再现了降水和回波强度的最大和最小值，晚上低层的高湿度是影响降水的重要因素。     

A composite analysis of diurnal cycle of GPS precipitable water vapor in central Japan during Calm Summer Days

Summary The diurnal variations of water vapor in central Japan were investigated with GPS-derived precipitable water (PWV) and surface meteorological data as classified to three kinds of locations. Twenty-five clear days in central Japan in August 2000 were investigated to clarify the role of water vapor in the nocturnal maximum in the diurnal cycle of convective rainfall. The diurnal variations of PWV and some meteorological factors were composite during the selected days at 6 stations. The PWV shows a clear diurnal cycle with the amplitude of 3.4 mm to 8.8 mm and changes little during the period from the morning to noon. The daily amplitude of PWV is the largest in basin and smallest in plain although mean of PWV keeps high value in plain. A typical feature of the diurnal variation in central Japan is a maximum appearing in the evening. The time of maximum is from 1800 LST to 2000 LST, and minima appears at noon nearly in mountainous area and basin, while in early morning in plain. The diurnal maximum of PWV appears earlier in mountainous region than in plain. A diurnal cycle of specific humidity can be observed in all locations, and the amplitude in mountainous region is especially large compared with that in basin and plain. It is important to notice that there are remarkable differences in specific humidity among the six stations. The results suggest that the diurnal variation of PWV seems to be strongly affected by the local thermal circulations generated by the topography around these stations. The moisture transport causes the differences in phase of the diurnal cycle of PWV between different locations as well as the phase difference in precipitation. A very clear diurnal variation in surface air temperature is similar to that of solar radiation, with a minimum in the morning and a maximum in early afternoon. Maximum of surface wind speed are corresponded to peak of precipitation very well. It can be concluded that the amplitude of solar radiation increases with altitude as opposed to the situation of PWV generally. The precipitation observed frequently in the evening also shows a similar diurnal variation to that of the PWV, indicating the peak of precipitation appearing in late afternoon or in the evening over central Japan. Meanwhile the PWV reaches its nocturnal maximum. There is a good relationship between the diurnal cycle of observed precipitation and that of the PWV.

黄河流域水汽的区域分布及演变特征

利用1948-2009年NCEP/NCAR再分析资料,研究了黄河流域年平均、1、4、7、10月整层水汽含量的时空分布特征。结果表明：年平均水汽含量为5～27mm,时间上,冬季（1月）和夏季（7月）分别为最低和最高,空间上,青藏高原和黄河下游上空分别为最低和最高,西风带水汽大小居于两者之间;利用旋转经验正交函数（rotated empirical orthogonal function,REOF）展开方法,将黄河流域年平均水汽含量划分为2个区,1、4、7、10月均划分为4个区;年平均及各月全流域和黄河中下游区水汽含量均趋于减少,其余各分区演变趋势各异。     

2012年太湖蒸发量变化特征及蒸发模型评估研究

湖泊蒸发是全球能量分布,水文循环的重要组成部分,同时是气候及生态系统环境变化的指示因子。运用太湖湖上观测平台大浦口站2012年涡度相关数据分析了太湖蒸发量的月变化及日变化特征,并评估了11种蒸发模型。结果表明：太湖2012年总蒸发量为1066.2 mm。潜热通量是太湖净辐射能量分配中的主导项, 2012年太湖地区潜热通量占净辐射通量的91.9%。2～7月为太湖水体储热阶段,当净辐射在7月达到最大值时,蒸发值也达到最大值;净辐射8月开始减少,至12月达到最小值,期间湖体储热释放,使得蒸发量在2月才达到最小值。采用涡度相关系统观测太湖蒸发量的数据评估了11种蒸发模型,分别从年蒸发总量和蒸发量月变化特征来探讨模型对于太湖蒸发量计算的适用性,其中以波文比能量平衡模型表现最好,与涡度相关观测值的相关系数为0.99,中心化均方根误差为4.50 mm month^-1。     

SENSITIVITY OF PRECIPITATION TO SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE AND ITS DIURNAL VARIATION: A PARTITIONING ANALYSIS BASED ON SURFACE RAINFALL BUDGET

The sensitivity of precipitation to sea surface temperature(SST) and its diurnal variation is investigated through a rainfall partitioning analysis of two-dimensional cloud-resolving model experiments based on surface rainfall budget.For all experiments,the model is set up using zero vertical velocity and a constant zonal wind and is integrated over 40 days to reach quasi-equilibrium states.The 10-day equilibrium grid-scale simulation data and a time-invariant SST of 29°C are used in the control experiment.In the sensitivity experiments,time-invariant SSTs are 27°C and 31°C with an average value of 29°C when the minimum and maximum values of diurnal SST differences are 1°C and 2°C,respectively.The results show that the largest contribution to total rainfall is from the rainfall with water vapor convergence and local atmospheric drying and hydrometeor gain/divergence(~30%) in all experiments.When SST increases from 27°C to 29°C,the contribution from water vapor convergence decreases.The increase of SST reduces the contribution of the rainfall with water vapor convergence primarily through the decreased contribution of the rainfall with local atmospheric drying and hydrometeor gain/divergence and the rainfall with local atmospheric moistening and hydrometeor loss/convergence.The inclusion of diurnal variation of SST with the diurnal difference of 1°C decreases the rainfall contribution from water vapor convergence primarily through the decreased contribution of the rainfall with local atmospheric moistening and hydrometeor loss/convergence.The contribution of the rainfall from water vapor convergence is barely changed as the diurnal difference of SST increases from 1°C to 2°C.     

Analysis on the Potential Precipitation Resources over East Gansu

The seasonal and interannual variations of the water vapor content and its mean transfer in the atmosphere over East Gansu are calculated and analyzed by using the NCEP/NCAR global reanalysis grid data (2.5°×2.5°Lat./Lon.) for 55 yr (1948-2002). The results show that 1) the water vapor content within the whole layer atmosphere over East Gansu in the latest 55 yr exhibits decreasing trends except that in winter,which shows a notable increasing trend; 2) the annual average water vapor transport flux mainly comes from southeast and southwest, and decreased from southeast to northwest gradually; 3) on the average, the annual water vapor transport ux over East Gansu increases continuously with height in the lower and middle parts of troposphere, and reaches the maximum value at the layer of 500 hPa; 4) in East Gansu,the southeast and southwest boundaries are the main water vapor import boundaries and the northeast and northwest boundaries are the main water vapor export boundaries. The water vapor import and export quantities in summer months reach the maximum values of those in all months, that is, 886.0 and 754.5 mm, respectively; and 5) the annual water vapor import is 1579.5 mm and its export is 997.6 mm, indicating the import of water vapor is more than the export. The net water vapor import over the whole region is 581.9mm. which accounts for 36.8% of the annual total import. The net water vapor import in winter is 88.0 mm, which accounts for 15.1% of the total import. This value in spring increases obviously, which equals 240.7 mm and accounts for 41.4% of the total. The value in summer equals 131.5 mm and accounts for 22.6% of the total. The net water vapor import in autumn is 121.7 mm and accounts for 20.9% of the total import. It implies that there is a fairish potential water vapor resource that has great potential for arti cial precipitation enhancement over East Gansu Province.     

地基GPS遥感观测北京地区水汽变化特征

利用2004—2007年SA34（北京大学）站的GPS观测数据,运用GAMIT软件解算反演了间隔30min的连续变化大气水汽总量（PW）。与北京南郊观测场得到的探空结果作比较,均方根误差（RMSE）在2~3mm之间。通过对大气水汽作月平均,得到每月的大气水汽总量口变化曲线,并初步分析了夏季水汽日变化与地面比湿、降水、地面气温以及地面风矢量的关系。结果表明:北京地区夏季7月大气水汽总量最小值出现在08:00（北京时）左右,8月大气水汽总量最小值出现在08:00到12:00左右（各年表现出一定的差异）,夏季大气水汽总量的最大值出现在01:00到03:00;7月和8月的日变化在夜间变化趋势有所不同;大气水汽总量最大值出现时刻与地面小时降水有一定相关性,且大气水汽总量的日变化明显受风矢量日变化的影响。通过对大气水汽总量的时间序列进行小波分析,得到1年大部分时间里,水汽变化存在大约12d的周期。采用前期的大气水汽总量平均值和短时大气水汽总量增量两个条件进行降水的判断,认为夏季降水的出现时刻与差值的高值区有比较好的对应。     

Distribution and Diurnal Variation of Warm-Season Short-Duration Heavy Rainfall in Relation to the MCSs in China

Short-duration heavy rainfall（SDHR） is a type of severe convective weather that often leads to substantial losses of property and life. We derive the spatiotemporal distribution and diurnal variation of SDHR over China during the warm season（April–September） from quality-controlled hourly raingauge data taken at 876 stations for 19 yr（1991–2009）, in comparison with the diurnal features of the mesoscale convective systems（MCSs） derived from satellite data. The results are as follows. 1） Spatial distributions of the frequency of SDHR events with hourly rainfall greater than 10–40 mm are very similar to the distribution of heavy rainfall（daily rainfall 50 mm） over mainland China. 2） SDHR occurs most frequently in South China such as southern Yunnan, Guizhou, and Jiangxi provinces, the Sichuan basin, and the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, among others. Some SDHR events with hourly rainfall 50 mm also occur in northern China, e.g., the western Xinjiang and central-eastern Inner Mongolia. The heaviest hourly rainfall is observed over the Hainan Island with the amount reaching over 180 mm. 3） The frequency of the SDHR events is the highest in July, followed by August. Analysis of pentad variations in SDHR reveals that SDHR events are intermittent, with the fourth pentad of July the most active. The frequency of SDHR over mainland China increases slowly with the advent of the East Asian summer monsoon, but decreases rapidly with its withdrawal. 4） The diurnal peak of the SDHR activity occurs in the later afternoon（1600–1700 Beijing Time（BT））, and the secondary peak occurs after midnight（0100–0200 BT） and in the early morning（0700–0800 BT）; whereas the diurnal minimum occurs around late morning till noon（1000–1300 BT）. 5） The diurnal variation of SDHR exhibits generally consistent features with that of the MCSs in China, but the active periods and propagation of SDHR and MCSs difer in diferent regions. The number and duration of local maxima in the diurnal cycles of SDHR and MCSs also vary by region, with single, double, and even multiple peaks in some cases. These variations may be associated with the diferences in large-scale atmospheric circulation, surface conditions, and land-sea distribution.     

A CLOUD-RESOLVING MODELING STUDY OF SURFACE RAINFALL PROCESSES ASSOCIATED WITH LANDFALLING TYPHOON KAEMI(2006)

The detailed surface rainfall processes associated with landfalling typhoon Kaemi(2006) are investigated based on hourly data from a two-dimensional cloud-resolving model simulation. The model is integrated for 6 days with imposed large-scale vertical velocity, zonal wind, horizontal temperature and vapor advection from National Center for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) / Global Data Assimilation System (GDAS) data. The simulation data are validated with observations in terms of surface rain rate. The Root-Mean-Squared (RMS) difference in surface rain rate between the simulation and the gauge observations is 0.660 mm h^-1, which is smaller than the standard deviations of both the simulated rain rate (0.753 mm h^-1) and the observed rain rate (0.833 mm h^-1). The simulation data are then used to study the physical causes associated with the detailed surface rainfall processes during the landfall. The results show that time averaged and model domain-mean P_s mainly comes from large-scale convergence (Q_WVF) and local vapor loss (positive Q_WVT). Large underestimation (about 15%) of P_s will occur if Q_WVT and Q_CM (cloud source/sink) are not considered as contributors to P_s. Q_WVF accounts for the variation of P_s during most of the integration time, while it is not always a contributor to P_s. Sometimes surface rainfall could occur when divergence is dominant with local vapor loss to be a contributor to P_s. Surface rainfall is a result of multi-timescale interactions. Q_WVE possesses the longest time scale and the lowest frequency of variation with time and may exert impact on P_s in longer time scales. Q_WVF possesses the second longest time scale and lowest frequency and can explain most of the variation of P_s. Q_WVT and Q_CM possess shorter time scales and higher frequencies, which can explain more detailed variations in P_s. Partitioning analysis shows that stratiform rainfall is dominant from the morning of 26 July till the late night of 27 July. After that, convective rainfall dominates till about 1000 LST 28 July. Before 28 July, the variations of in rainfall-free regions contribute less to that of the domain-mean Q_WVT while after that they contribute much, which is consistent to the corresponding variations in their fractional coverage. The variations of Q_WVF in rainfall regions are the main contributors to that of the domain-mean Q_WVF, then the main contributors to the surface rain rate before the afternoon of 28 July.     

地基GPS/PWV在降水过程中的突变与缓变性特征

用江苏省2009-2011年57个地基GPS/MET监测网获取的逐时大气可降水量(PWV)和同期降水及JMA(Japan Meteorological Agency)再分析资料,探讨了PWV的日际和逐时变化与不同时间尺度和强度的降水间的关系。结果表明:PWV日际变化与降水日变化具有显著相似的形态特征和演变趋势,两者存在较为一致的同步性,总体呈单峰分布,强降水集中期对应着PWV最大时段;PWV在入梅和梅汛期内强降水过程中存在明显突变现象,并提炼了以GPS/PWV突变事件为依据的入梅和梅雨期暴雨预报指标;在不同强度的降水过程中,PWV值域局限在一个特定量值区间,其中20 mm/h以下各级强度降水对应PWV区别明显,GPS/PWV值对应的特定量值随降水强度增大而增大,但20 mm/h以上的各级强降水对应PWV特定量值区别较小;在短时强降水的预报中,除充分的水汽条件外,其强度将取决于天气系统对周边水汽的辐合能力和将入流水汽抬升而成云致雨的动力条件;降水发生前存在水汽的连续、缓变蓄积过程,蓄积过程至少可推前12 h。

2021年“7.20”河南暴雨水汽输送特征及其关键天气尺度系统

本文重点分析了2021年“7.20”河南暴雨水汽输送特征、水汽来源以及关键天气尺度系统。双台风“烟花”和“查帕卡”以及西太平洋副热带高压共同为“7.20”河南暴雨提供了充足的水汽条件。然而,就暴雨的水汽供应而言,仅以台风和西太平洋副热带高压的作用难以解释2021年7月20日发生的日降水量663.9 mm和1小时最大降水量201.9 mm的极端暴雨事实。水汽通量分析和LAGRANTO模式轨迹分析结果表明,20日在河南南侧形成了一个很强的经向水汽通量带（850 hPa以上）,它与台风和西太平洋副热带高压引起的低层水汽通量带在河南附近汇合,为暴雨提供了最为充沛的水汽条件。我们强调,20日在河南以西地区上空发生了对流层顶反气旋式波破碎事件,它与台风协同作用,引发了河南南侧的强经向水汽通量,从而导致此次极端暴雨事件。     

Temperature and Humidity Regime Changes on the Black Sea Coast in 1982-2014

Specific features of climate change in the Black Sea and on its northeastern coast for the period of 1982-2014 are investigated based on weather station data, ERA-Interim reanalysis, and satellite data on sea surface temperature. The main trends in air temperature and precipitation are revealed from weather station data and are compared with reanalysis data. The spatial peculiarities of variations in air temperature, integrated water vapor, moisture flux divergence, CAPE, and vertical velocity are analyzed. It is shown that air temperature variations on the coast highly correlate with sea surface temperature. In general, surface air temperature in the region has risen, especially in summer. Despite the increase in integrated water vapor and CAPE, no statistically significant increase was revealed for the mean amount of precipitation, for its intensity and maximum values. This fact might be associated with the moisture flux divergence increase in the region due to the intensification of large-scale downdrafts.

利用成都地区5个测站地基GPS2007年9月-2008年2月的观测数据,解算出1 min间隔的天顶总延迟,结合自动气象站资料计算出30 min间隔的大气可降水量(GPS-PWV).对月平均的GPS-PWV分析表明:秋、冬季变化趋势从9月开始下降,1月达到最小值,2月又逐渐上升.在大气环流相同的情况下,地理位置相近的站,海拔高的地区大气中的水汽量比海拔低的地区要少,且变化较大;海拔高度相近的站,大气中的水汽含量由南向北减少.日合成分析显示:在静稳天气下,日变化特征显著,具有双峰型特征:白天峰值与气温的最大值相对应;夜间峰值与降水量的峰值相对应;GPS-PWV与地面空气相对湿度白天呈负相关,夜间呈正相关.     

基于地基GPS遥感的大连地区大气水汽总量变化特征

基于大连地区地基GPS综合观测网遥感反演了大气水汽总量（PWV）,分析了大连地区PWV空间变化、逐月变化和日变化特征以及PWV变化与降水的关系,并利用大连本站2005-2011年的探空资料拟合了大连地区地面温度和大气加权平均温度的关系。结果表明：大连本站的PWV与探空积分的水汽含量相关系数达到0.988,均方根误差为2.5 mm。大连地区PWV南北分布比较均匀;PWV最大的月份为7-8月,最大月平均值约40 mm,PWV最小的月份为1月,最小月平均值小于4 mm;大连地区PWV春季和冬季日变化幅度约0.5 mm,夏季和秋季日变化幅度约1.3 mm。夏季和秋季的PWV日变化呈单峰型,春季和冬季的PWV日变化呈多峰型; 在降水发生前8 h 大气水汽总量有明显增加过程,对降水的发生有指示作用。     

梅雨锋强降水与低空急流日变化的观测分析和数值模拟

利用地面加密自动站逐小时观测资料和ERA-Interim再分析资料,分析了2011年6月江淮流域的5次强降水过程和西南低空急流的日变化特征。发现强降水的日变化与西南低空急流的日变化一致:02—08时增强,14时减弱。这主要是由于夜间边界层内的惯性振荡,导致西南低空急流增强从而使得梅雨锋水汽通量辐合增强,降水增强;而白天由于边界层混合摩擦力增大,致使西南低空急流减弱或消失,降水减弱。WRF数值模拟试验不仅重现了观测的日变化特征,而且证实了江淮暴雨和西南低空急流的日变化主要是由非地转风的日变化造成:白天边界层混合强,风为次地转;而夜间边界层混合消失,气压梯度力和科氏力平衡的惯性振荡使得风为超地转      

江西2012年5月12日大暴雨过程水汽输送分析

利用NCEP 1°×1°再分析资料、常规气象观测资料和WRF中尺度数值模式,对2012年5月12日江西出现的大暴雨天气水汽输送的过程进行分析。结果表明,从大尺度分析,此次暴雨过程的水汽输送特征并不典型,比湿、水汽通量、水汽通量散度、整层水汽输送等均不能满足江西出现暴雨时应该达到的水汽条件;但模拟的中小尺度水汽指数能够满足江西发生暴雨的水汽条件。此次暴雨过程的水汽主要来自南海地区。暴雨出现的区域与整层水汽大值区的水平梯度最大处相吻合。当整层水汽输送值较小时,水汽输送主要集中在中低层,但当整层水汽输送值较大时,水汽输送的高度高度超过500 hPa高度层,仅分析500 hPa高度层以下的水汽输送对暴雨预报会造成一定的误差。
