基于多普勒测风激光雷达的低空急流观测研究

基于相干多普勒测风激光雷达于2018年8月在山东德州获取的为期一个月的风廓线观测数据,进行了低空急流的判定、识别与统计分析。参考BONNER对低空急流的判定标准,对1 500 m高度以下的每10 min平均风廓线数据进行低空急流识别与统计,急流发生频率仅为3.6%。参考张世丰对低空急流的判定标准,统计了350 m高度以下10 min平均风廓线的低空急流风速、高度、风向及风切变等结构特征。急流发生频率为24.9%,急流速度主要介于6～10 m·s-1之间,急流高度出现3个峰值,分别位于110 m、160 m和220 m左右,急流风向主要为偏东风和偏南风。结果表明,多普勒激光雷达可以获取高时空分辨率的风廓线数据,进而可以有效检测低空急流结构的存在及其特征。     

中国澳门国际机场重着陆事件的天气背景分析北大核心

对2018年8月28日北京首都航空公司CBJ5759航班在中国澳门国际机场发生重着陆事件分析结果,显示:(1)机场位于低空切变线南侧,低空西南急流与海陆地形辐合作用下形成的暖区局地对流引发分散性短时强降水和弱雷暴;对流北侧突然增强的偏南风使机场跑道附近顺风增加,引发低空风切变;(2)高分辨率数值模拟结果表明低空风切变发生时段内存在西南急流脉动,急流北侧的风场由西南风转为偏南风,促使海陆边界的热力和动力不稳定条件加强,有利于局地对流系统发展和其辐散出流增强,加速边界层内风场变化;(3)当飞机在下降过程中经过对流系统前侧激发的偏南风急流区时,水平风的垂直切变形成的顺风切变大于垂直风变化,增加的顺风使飞机空速减小,导致飞机升力减小并造成重着陆;(4)此次事件中天气系统的变化通过影响对流的发展间接促进低空风切变的发生,因此可在对沿海机场的低空风临近预报时通过加强对海上风场变化的监测来预估一定风险。     

长江流域一次大暴雨过程的低空急流形成和影响机制分析

利用WRF模式对2016年6月30日—7月6日长江流域的一次大暴雨天气过程中的低空急流进行数值模拟,在成功模拟低空急流基础上,分析此次急流过程中可能的影响机制;同时对地形高度进行敏感性试验,分析地形因素对此次低空急流可能的影响。(1)此次低空急流发生时,东侧为西太平洋副热带高压,西侧则为西南涡。这种“东高西低”的高低压配置为低空急流的形成与发展提供了有利的背景场。(2)高空急流和低空急流的耦合作用是低空急流发展的一个重要背景条件。(3)垂直方向高空动量不断下传为低空系统的发展提供了动力支持,是低空急流发生的一个重要条件。(4)逆温和垂直风切变之间的正反馈机制是低空急流形成与加强的因素之一。(5)山体在急流生成及发展过程中对气流有摩擦和阻挡作用,这种阻挡作用随着山体地形高度的增加而有所加强,同时山脉的走向会改变原始的风向,使得急流前端超前或滞后。青藏高原有强背风波效应,它的绕流和挤压作用会使得低空气流表现为狭长的带状,使动量更加聚集从而风速增加形成低空急流。      

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF LOW-LEVEL JET STREAMS IN NANJING AREA BASED ON WIND PROFILER DATA

In order to understand the activity characteristics of low-level jets in the Nanjing area, statistical analysis and comparative study are carried out on their monthly and diurnal variations, characteristics of their cores and accompanying weather conditions using wind profile data in 2005—2008 collected by two wind profilers. The results show that low-level jets have significant monthly and diurnal variations. They occur more frequently in spring and summer than in autumn and winter and are more active in early morning and at night, with the maximum wind speed usually occurring at midnight. The central part of the low-level jet occurs mainly at the height of less than 1400 meters, and the enhancement of central speed is beneficial to the appearance of precipitation. Meanwhile, when the low-level jet appears in summer, it helps cause heavy rain. The statistical results of the boundary wind profiler are well consistent with those of the tropospheric wind profiler. Two kinds of wind profilers also have the capability of continuously detecting the development of low-level jets.     

飑线结构和强度对低层湿度和环境垂直风切变的敏感性研究

利用数值模式WRF进行二维飑线理想数值试验。通过改变初始场低层湿度和低层环境垂直风切变探讨了初始环境场对飑线在触发阶段与发展初期结构和强度的影响。低层湿度试验表明,增加低层湿度有利于初始启动阶段对流的发生从而使对流系统强度更强;飑线强度增加,对流上升运动增强,更有利于冷池前沿激发出新生对流单体,系统发展更快;同时激发更多降水,冷池强度增强。低层环境垂直风切变试验表明,在飑线触发阶段,更强的环境垂直风切变使对流主体前倾趋势更大,对对流的触发有阻碍作用;冷池和环境垂直风切变的相互作用被认为是飑线发展的重要机制,基于RKW理论,在飑线发展初期,近地面冷池相对较弱,在更弱的环境垂直风切变作用下更容易使对流结构呈直立状态从而产生更强和更深的上升运动,飑线强度增强。     

Analysis of the Characteristics of the Low-level Jets in the Middle Reaches of the Yangtze River during the Mei-yu Season

Here, we analyze the characteristics and the formation mechanisms of low-level jets(LLJs) in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River during the 2010 mei-yu season using Wuhan station radiosonde data and the fifth generation of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts(ERA5) reanalysis dataset. Our results show that the vertical structure of LLJs is characterized by a predominance of boundary layer jets(BLJs) concentrated at heights of 900–1200 m.The BLJs occur most frequently at 230...     

2018年北京城区和远郊区低层大气风场特征分析

利用2018年1月1日至12月31日在北京国家综合气象观测实验基地获得的风廓线雷达资料和同时期在河北香河的华北香河全大气层野外科学观测研究站获得的多普勒声雷达资料,比较分析北京城区和远郊区的低层（0～600 m）大气风场特征。结果表明:水平风速随高度增加而增大,同一高度层,远郊区的平均水平风速大于城区,且受湍流活动影响,城区和远郊区水平风速日变化趋势均为白天小于夜间。春、夏季城区风向受局地山谷风影响显著,以偏西南偏南气流为主,城区和远郊区秋冬季受冷空气活动影响,以西北风为主,且水平风向日变化特征具有季节性差异。远郊区低层大气垂直速度分布特征四季相同,正、负速度出现频率相当,日变化趋势为单峰型;城区冬春季有差异,在390 m高度以下正速度出现频率明显大于负速度,且日变化趋势在四季差异较大。北京城区和郊区风场特征差异与其他特大城市相比无特殊性,主要受大气环流、局地地形、下垫面环境等因素影响。     

Low-level jet development and the interaction of different scale physical processes

Two cases of low-level jet events and the interaction of the involved physical processes are investigated. The vertical distribution of the dominant atmospheric motions is studied, using data from a SODAR-RASS system and in situ instrumentation, at a coastal region of the Eastern Mediterranean (Messogia Plain in Attica—Greece). The first low-level jet (LLJ) case was observed during the cold period, after the passage of a cold front and could be characterized as purely synoptic. Coherent inertial motions were found to follow the frontal surface at both the wind components, with larger amplitudes at the alongfront wind component, a fact consistent with the deformation theory. The contribution of the diurnal cycle was found weak in both the components, due to the cloudiness and the small diurnal temperature range, while the synoptic scale dominated the northerly wind component. The second LLJ case represents two successive summertime large-scale jets. The absence of cloudiness and the increased solar radiation provided a favorable environment for the development of local flows which interacted with the synoptic wind field. This interaction led to a LLJ with an oscillating core and a variable depth. The diurnal cycle had a strong imprint on the wind component along the sea breeze direction (easterly), while the synoptic variations dominated the northerly wind component. Strong amplitudes of a coherent quasi 2-day variation were also found in both the cases.     

An Analytical Study of the Diurnal Variations of Wind in a Semi-geostrophic Ekman Boundary Layer Model

A time-dependent semi-geostrophic Ekman boundary-layer model based on the geostrophic momentum approximation is used to study the diurnal wind variation in the planetary boundary layer (PBL) and the evolution of the low-level nocturnal jet (LLJ). The coefficient of eddy viscosity varies periodically with time, varies linearly with height in the surface layer and is constant above the surface layer. The influence of horizontal advection of momentum on the diurnal wind variation in the PBL, the development of inertial oscillations (IOs) and the formation of the LLJ are examined.In comparison with the Ekman solutions, the diurnal wind variation in semi-geostrophic Ekman boundary-layer dynamics has the following features: (1) the phase angle of the diurnal wind wave shifts with height, the rate of shifting is increased in anticyclonic regions and decreased in cyclonic regions, (2) the time of occurrence of the low-level maximum wind speed is later in anticyclonic regions and earlier in cyclonic regions, (3) the height of occurrence of the maximum wind speed is higher in the anticyclonic and lower in cyclonic regions, (4) the wind speed maximum and the amplitude of the diurnal wind variation are larger in anticyclonic and smaller in cyclonic regions, (5) the period of IOs is larger in anticyclonic regions and smaller in cyclonic regions, (6) anticyclonic vorticity is conducive to the generation of LLJ in the PBL. These features are interpreted by means of the physical properties of semi-geostrophic Ekman boundary-layer dynamics and inertial oscillation dynamics.     

THE ANALYSIS OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PULSE OF LLJ AND HEAVY RAIN USING WIND PROFILER DATA

1 INTRODUCTION With the principle of Doppler effect, the wind-profiler acquires high-resolution vertical wind profiles every few minutes and every few dozens of meters[1, 2]. In contrast, data obtained with conventional soundings do not reflect the true conditions right over the sounding site, for the balloons are going with the wind in upper levels. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S.A., made a final assessment of the wind-profiler networks deployed in central …     

利用风廓线雷达对广东前汛期短时强降水类暴雨过程低空风场特征的研究

为了更加深入地了解暴雨中尺度系统,利用风廓线雷达资料,对2012—2014年发生在广东前汛期的短时强降水的暴雨过程临近时次的低空急流强度、低空急流高度、低空急流指数以及各层垂直风切变等物理量进行了分析研究。研究结果表明:（1）在广东前汛期,86%的暴雨过程都会有短时强降水的出现; （2）2 km高度以下最大风速呈正态分布特征,主要集中在10~21 m/s之间,60%以上的强降水发生前3小时低空急流便已经存在,且随着强降水的临近,低空急流的比例逐渐增大,超过80%的过程强降水出现时有低空急流相配合; （3）暴雨发生前低空急流强度基本维持,最低高度逐渐降低。强降水出现时次,低空急流表现出逐渐加强的特征,最低高度也明显下降,从而导致低空急流指数I增大; （4）地面到不同等压面的垂直风切变随着高度的增加而逐渐减小,其中强降水发生时地面到925 hPa垂直风切变相较于暴雨发生前有所增大,而地面到850 hPa及700 hPa垂直风切变在强降水发生时则表现出下降的特征; （5）选取暴雨发生前各类物理量的中值作为暴雨发生的阈值,则低空急流强度在13.5 m/s左右,最低高度为1 km左右,低空急流指数I为6×10-3 s-1左右,地面到925 hPa、850 hPa以及700 hPa之间的垂直风切变分别在7.3×10-3 s-1、6×10-3 s-1以及4×10-3 s-1左右。      

Advances in Low-Level Jet Research and Future Prospects

The low-level jet （LLJ） is closely related to severe rainfall events, air pollution, wind energy utilization, aviation safety, sandstorms, forest fire, and other weather and climate phenomena. Therefore, it has attracted considerable attention since its discovery. Scientists have carried out many studies on LLJs and made significant achievements during the past five or six decades. This article summarizes and assesses the current knowledge on this subject, and focuses in particular on three aspects： 1） LLJ classification, definition, distribution, and structure; 2） LLJ formation and evolutionary mechanisms; and 3） relationships between LLJ and rainfall, as well as other interdisciplinary fields. After comparing the status of LLJ research at home （China） and abroad, we then discuss the shortcomings of LLJ research in China. We suggest that this includes： coarse definitions of the LLJ, lack of observations and inadequate quality control, few thorough explorations of LLJ characteristics and formation mechanisms, and limited studies in interdisciplinary fields. The future prospects for several LLJ research avenues are also speculated.     

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      

北京地区3000 m以下低空颠簸的统计特征及其气象条件分析

低空颠簸（3000 m以下）由于可供飞行员判断和处置的时间短,一旦发生容易造成重大安全事故。气象条件是引发低空颠簸最直接、最重要的因素。本文采用北京地区8部风廓线雷达测得的高时空分辨率资料,结合华北空管局气象中心记录的2016年北京地区20个低空颠簸个例,分析了低空颠簸的统计特征和影响低空颠簸的气象条件。结果表明：北京地区低空颠簸在冬季发生频次高,其中2月颠簸发生频次最高,在夏季发生频次低。影响低空颠簸的气象指标包括水平风速、水平风的垂直切变,水平风的水平切变、水平风的时间切变和垂直风速。通过计算各气象指标的数值,尝试给出了造成低空颠簸的气象指标阈值,即水平风速大于18 m·s^-1,水平风的垂直切变大于10 m·s^-1·km^-1,水平风的水平切变大于0.1 m·s^-1·km^-1,水平风的时间切变大于10 m·s^-1·h^-1以及垂直风速大于2 m·s^-1,以上气象指标任意一个达到阈值,即满足造成低空颠簸的气象条件。此项工作对低空颠簸的预报具有一定参考意义。     

Objective Analysis of Circulation Extremes During the 21 July 2012 Torrential Rain in Beijing

It has been reported that the heaviest rain event since 1951 hit Beijing on 21 July 2012 （henceforth referred to as the 721 case）.The frequency and extreme attributes of the large-scale circulation patterns observed during the 721 case are explored by using obliquely rotated T-mode principle component analysis （PCA） and reanalysis data from NCEP/NCAR.The occurrence frequency of the 721-type circulation during the summers of 1951-2012 is 10.9%,while the frequency of torrential rain under this type of circulation is 4.51%.Relative to other rainstorms with similar large-scale circulations during the study period,the 721 case is characterized by a more westward extension of the subtropical high over the western North Pacific,a stronger low-level jet in the lower troposphere over the south of Beijing,a larger amount of ambient precipitable water,and a stronger vertical wind shear over Beijing.Among the 621 days with the 721-type circulation during the study period,the 721 case ranks the 54th in terms of the 925-hPa low-level jet south of Beijing,the 209th in terms of the local vertical wind shear,and the 8th in terms of the local precipitable water.The 721 case is particularly extreme with respect to the 925-hPa low-level jet south of Beijing and local precipitable water.Cases with similar circulations and equal or greater values of the 925-hPa low-level jet south of Beijing and local precipitable water have occurred thrice during the summers of 1951-2012 （i.e.,once every 21 years）.     

The Summertime Great Plains Low Level Jet And The Effect of Its Origin On Moisture Transport

Radiosonde data from six stations in Kansas and Oklahoma for the period of June 16–24, 1993 indicate that a low-level jet (LLJ) occurred almost every day except on the 20th. Major characteristics of these LLJs are documented in this paper. The maximum wind speed (the jet speed) varied from 13 to 32 m s^-1 and heights ranged from 167 to 910 m. All the jets were southerly except the one on June 19 which changed its direction dramatically from a southerly to a northerly direction in about three hours although its intensity did not change appreciably. Thermal stability of the boundary layer during these LLJ occurrences ranged from near-neutral to highly stable. All the low-level jets exhibited significant diurnal variations. Analyses show that relatively weak large-scale forcing existed for the LLJs on June 21 and June 22, while strong forcing was present on other days. Analyses also show that moisture transport by the LLJ from the Gulf of Mexico to the Great Plains depends on the location of the LLJ origin. In the two weeks of June 13–19 and 20–26, 1993, powerful storms swept through the central United States, accompanied by tornadoes, strong wind, large hail and heavy rainfall. The analyses indicate that these weather events could be a result of the interactions of the LLJs with synoptic-scale flow.     

乌鲁木齐市近地层风切变指数特征

利用乌鲁木齐市5座100 m气象铁塔2012年6月—2014年4月10层风速观测资料,应用统计学方法详细分析了乌鲁木齐市城区和郊区近地层风切变指数特征,得出以下结果:乌鲁木齐市风切变指数分布范围在-1.5~1.5,基本呈正态分布。风切变指数与风速大小关系密切,当风速1 m/s时,切变指数变化较大;当风速2 m/s时,切变指数变化较小。城区和郊区最大切变指数出现高度差异较大,南郊燕南立交切变指数最大在36~46 m,城区水塔山在60~77m,城区鲤鱼山在13~22 m,近北郊红光山在46~60 m,北郊米东在28~36 m。各层切变指数白天变化幅度大,夜间变化幅度小。切变指数日变化不规律与城市边界层变化的复杂性密切相关。降温幅度大的秋季-冬季时段,易出现切变指数小于0的情况。     

对流层低层偏东风对北京局地暴雨的作用

本文利用风廓线仪、地面自动站观测资料及NCAR/NCEP 1°×1°分析资料等,对北京地区两次局地暴雨天气过程的对流层低层偏东风进行了对比分析研究,重点分析了浅薄和深厚两次偏东风的形成机制、偏东风的垂直结构特征和温、湿特性,以及偏东风在北京局地暴雨中的作用等。主要结论如下:(1)浅薄偏东风活动在距地面高度500 m 以下,水平尺度约250 km,时间尺度约12 h, 地面风速平均约1 m/s;深厚偏东风活动在距地面高度3000 m 以下,水平尺度大于600 km,持续时间大于24 h,地面风速平均约4 m/s。(2)浅薄偏东风由边界层内浅薄的次天气尺度暖性低涡引起,深厚偏东风由天气尺度地面暖性低压倒槽的发展引起。(3)偏东风具有高相当位温的属性,其源地是北京东部或东南部的暖湿气团;在暖湿偏东风上方800～600 hPa 存在干冷空气活动,形成了有利的对流不稳定层结;浅薄偏东风暖湿能量的局地集中特征更为显著,而深厚偏东风在水汽和能量的持续输送方面,以及与500 hPa 偏西风形成较强的、有利于强对流风暴发展的低层垂直风切变方面作用更为显著。(4)浅薄偏东风在时间和空间上与近地面层辐合中心对应较好,与中高空辐散有较好配合,动力作用明显,直接起到了对流风暴的触发机制作用;深厚偏东风与辐合中心对应较差,与垂直运动及上层辐散也没有很好的配合,与对流风暴的触发没有直接的关系。但是深厚偏东风在对流层低层对应厚达3000 m 的潮湿空气层,削弱了雨滴下落过程中产生的蒸发降温作用,有利于对流的发展和维持。     

Impact of the Nocturnal Low-Level Jet and Orographic Waves on Turbulent Motions and Energy Fluxes in the Lower Atmospheric Boundary Layer

The nocturnal low-level jet (LLJ) and orographic (gravity) waves play an important role in the generation of turbulence and pollutant dispersion and can affect the energy production by wind turbines. Additionally, gravity waves have an influence on the local mixing and turbulence within the surface layer and the vertical flux of mass into the lower atmosphere. On 25 September 2017, during a field campaign, a persistent easterly LLJ and gravity waves were observed simultaneously in a coastal area in the north of France. We explore the variability of the wind speed, turbulent eddies, and turbulence kinetic energy in the time–frequency and space domain using an ultrasonic anemometer and a scanning wind lidar. The results reveal a significant enhancement of the turbulence-kinetic-energy dissipation (by?50%) due to gravity waves in the LLJ shear layer (below the jet core) during the period of wave propagation. Large magnitudes of zonal and vertical components of the shear stress (approximately 0.4 and 1.5 m² s^?2, respectively) are found during that period. Large eddies (scales of 110 to 280 m) matching the high-wind-speed regime are found to propagate the momentum downwards, which enhances the mass transport from the LLJ shear layer to the roughness layer. Furthermore, these large-scale eddies are associated with the crests while comparatively small-scale eddies are associated with the troughs of the gravity wave.
