承德市一次由快速发展气旋诱发的大风天气分析

利用常规观测资料和NCEP/NCAR(1°×1°)逐6 h再分析资料,对承德市2017年5月5—6日大风天气的环流形势和物理量进行分析,结果表明气旋的快速发展(气旋加深率0.84 B)导致锋生加强,引发气压和变压梯度加大是导致大风的直接原因。500 hPa高压脊东移迫使冷空气向南堆积,高空槽不断发展成为冷涡,温度平流为地面气旋的发展提供热力条件,高低层涡度平流的差异,也是地面气旋快速发展的重要原因;当1.5 PVU位涡面伸展至对流层低层时,局地位涡异常在气旋的发展过程中不可忽视;高空急流出口区发生质量调整,出口区左侧的辐散强度达10×10~(-5) s~(-1),使低层大气减压,有利于气旋发展。     

台风Matsa(2005)和Wipha(2007)变性过程对比分析

利用日本气象厅热带气旋年鉴资料和JRA-25再分析资料,对0509号台风Matsa和0712号台风Wipha变性过程进行了对比分析。结果表明,台风Matsa和Wipha均是在我国登陆后转向东北方向运动过程中发生变性,但Matsa嵌入中纬度高空锋区,变性为温带气旋后有再加强过程,而Wipha仅外围环流与锋区接触,变性为温带气旋后无再加强过程。通过等熵面位涡分析进一步表明,Matsa变性加强表现为高层正位涡与低层暖平流的耦合,以及高层正位涡下传至中低层;Wipha的变性过程中,高层正位涡并未与低层暖平流耦合,高层正位涡无明显的下传。     

等熵面和湿等熵面倾斜发展的诊断分析

利用等压坐标系中的热力学方程和水汽方程推导出可以诊断分析等熵面（等位温面）和湿等熵面（等相当位温面） 倾斜变化的倾角方程。等熵面倾角的局地变化由倾角平流输送项、风速切变项和非绝热加热项共同决定，而影响湿等熵面倾角局地变化的强迫项除倾角平流输送项、风速切变项和非绝热加热项之外，还包括垂直热量通量切变项。NCEP/NCAR实时分析资料的分析结果表明，大气斜压性、相对垂直涡度与等熵面和湿等熵面的倾角密切相关，它们的正高值区互相重叠；垂直风速切变项，特别是垂直速度的经向切变项是影响等熵面倾斜发展的主要强迫项，而纬向和经向风速的垂直切变项对湿等熵面倾角演变的贡献最大。     

Numerical analysis of the influence of jets,fronts, and mountains on alpine lee cyclogenesis: More cases from the ALPEX SOP

Summary In a recently published work it was shown that Alpine cyclone development depends on a short wave trough upstream of the Alps, the presence of an upper-level jet streak in this trough, and a low-level front interacting with the mountain barrier. Specifically, by modifying the strength of the upper baroclinic zone (potential vorticity) or by decreasing the strength of the low-level baroclinic zone impinging on the Alps in an initial field, the intensity of the resulting numerically predicted cyclogenesis could be modulated. The major finding of the work was that the ALPEX cyclones reacted differently to upper-level and lower-level modification, providing a basis for broadly classifying storms: that is, dependence on upper-level processes and on low-level processes.The present work extends this study by considering additional cyclones that occurred during the ALPEX Special Observing Period (SOP), and describes the influence of upper-level and lower-level processes on each. An index (I) discussed in the previous paper is examined in terms of its relative value from case to case, and in terms of its value in a time-dependent sense during the lifetime of the storm. The results show that the most powerful lee cyclones depended more on the strength of the upper-level jet or potential vorticity than on the strength of the low-level front of baroclinic zone. In most cases the time evolution ofI showed the influence of the upper-level jet to be important during the early phase of development. The front is increasingly important in midlife as intensification takes place, and the jet is increasingly important during late life. These conclusions were reached during the earlier study but are supported by the additional SOP cyclone cases.Cyclone steering flow and the impinging of the storm on the Alps had a great impact on defining its character: storms with NW-N trajectories were heavily dependent on low level frontal strength and WSW-WNW trajectories were dominated by effects of the upper level jet.With 16 Figures     

从涡度、位涡、到平流层干侵入——位涡问题的缘起、应用及其歧途

由于从等熵位涡分析引申出来的平流层干侵入（以下简称干侵入）概念造成了当前天气预报思路中一些混乱和违背天气学常识的看法,文中回顾了天气预报原理从着眼气压变化到着眼涡度变化的发展历史和位涡问题的缘起。进而根据位涡的定义、数学表达式、物理意义,并结合实例的计算结果指出,位涡的大小主要取决于位温的垂直梯度;等熵面上的位涡分布形势实质是对流层顶高度的分布,因此可以间接反映极地气团、锋、高空槽和高空急流的形势。轨迹计算和数值预报都证明,低空的高位涡异常是地面气旋强烈加深和潜热反馈的结果,而不是干侵入的结果。指出位涡的守恒性不能替代斜压扰动发展的动力学机理;干侵入的错误概念来源于对位涡守恒性的绝对化和简单的推断,并犯了流体力学原理上混淆流线和轨迹两个不同概念的错误。     

华南季风低压暴雨及其结构分析

文中对2005年夏季华南的一次季风低压大暴雨过程进行了诊断分析,讨论了该季风低压的三维结构,并将其与南亚季风低压和梅雨锋上低压系统的结构进行了对比分析。结果表明,这次暴雨过程由华南季风低压直接引起,造成大暴雨的季风低压产生在有利的大尺度环流背景下。这次华南季风低压的三维结构特征为:在水平方向上,季风低压的南侧是一条对流云带,在对流层中低层,季风低压基本上处于对流不稳定并伴随有较强的上升运动;它对应中低层的湿舌、辐合区和很强的正涡度带。在垂直方向上,季风低压在对流层中低层有明显的气旋性环流,在300 hPa以上无反映。它对应低层辐合和气旋性涡度,高层辐散和反气旋性涡度。季风低压的上升气流可达对流层高层,主要上升运动区位于低压的西侧,主要下沉运动区位于低压的东侧。季风低压南侧有低空急流存在,但高层急流并不明显;季风低压的热力结构为上暖下冷。华南季风低压的轴线随高度向东南方向倾斜。这种种特征,与南亚季风低压和梅雨锋低压均有较大不同。

我国北方地区一次沙尘暴天气特征分析

使用美国大气中心6h一次的NCEP再分析格点资料(1.0°×1.0°)对2002年3月18—22日发生在我国北方的大范围沙尘暴天气成因进行分析。从环流形势、物理量诊断、高空急流等方面进行研究分析,结果表明:蒙古气旋是这次沙尘暴天气的主要影响系统,这次气旋发生发展在斜压区,气旋的发展阶段温度平流作用明显。沙尘暴过程主要是由气旋冷锋及锋后地面大风触发的,地面大风的形成与气旋发展、锋后冷平流及高空急流动量下传有关。     

POTENTIAL VORTICITY STRUCTURE OF SUMMER CYCLONES OVER THE CHANGJIANG-HUAIHE VALLEY*

Based on the theory of Ertel potential vorticity,the isentropic potential vorticity maps and vertical profiles of potential vorticity for two summer cyclones over the Changjiang-Huaihe Valley are analysed.After discussing a possible mechanism for the genesis and development of such systems and their differences from typical extratropical cyclones,a conceptual model for their activities is proposed:A weak disturbance in the midlevel of troposphere originated from around the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau may cause heavy precipitation under favourable conditions and latent heat release in the mid-troposphere leads to downward extension of cyclonic circulation and a wave on the quasi-stationary front.This weak cyclone can develop substantially and become a typical extratropical cyclone only when air from the lower stratosphere flows downslope along isentropic surfaces into the region of interest.     

夏季江淮气旋的Ertel位涡诊断分析

本文应用Ertel位势涡度的理论,分析了两例夏季江准气旋活动的等熵面位涡图和位涡垂直廓线,讨论了这类系统发生发展的一种可能机制以及它们与典型温带气旋的区别,从而得出了夏季江淮气旋活动的一个概念模式:从高原一带东移的对流层中层弱的扰动在有利条件下引起江淮地区较强降水,中层潜热释放导致气旋性环流向下延伸,最终可在地面静止锋上形成波动。当副热带锋区北侧平流层下部空气沿等熵面南下时,气旋波可能发展成为典型的温带气旋。     

一次变性台风再增强过程的敏感性试验

采用位涡反演技术与数值模拟相结合的方法,通过初值敏感性试验和物理量场的诊断分析,对台风变性后再度增强的影响因子和物理机制进行了深入的分析和研究。结果表明:台风低压由变性减弱转为发展增强主要是由于台风低压环流与西风带斜压锋区之间的相互作用所造成的,随着高空冷涡低槽的加深南下和台风低压的继续北上,两个系统之间的距离逐渐减小,西风带高空槽与台风低压之间相互作用的正反馈机制逐步成为台风变性后强烈加深发展的主要原因。     

Heavy Rainfall Associated with a Monsoon Depression in South China: Structure Analysis

A heavy rainfall associated with the deepening of a monsoon depression happened in the summer of 2005. This process was first diagnostically analyzed and the 3D structure of the monsoon depression was discussed~ then this structure was compared with those of the monsoon depression in South Asia and the low vortex in the Meiyu front. The results showed that the heavy rainfall directly resulted from a monsoon depression in South China~ and the large-scale environment provided a favorable background for the deepening of the monsoon depression. The 3D structure of the monsoon depression was as follows. In the horizontal direction, there existed a convective cloud band to the south of the monsoon depression, which lay in a convectively instable area, with a relatively strong ascending motion in the mid and low levels of the troposphere, and the ascending motion matched well with a moist tongue, a convergence area, and a band of positive vorticity in the mid and low levels of the troposphere. In the vertical direction, the depression had an obviously cyclonic circulation in the mid and low levels of the troposphere, but no circulation from above 300 hPa. The monsoon depression corresponded to convergence and positive vorticity in the low levels, but to divergence and negative vorticity in the upper levels. The upward draft of the depression could reach the upper levels of the troposphere in the west of the depression, while the descending motion lay in the east. There was a low-level jet to the south of the depression, while the upper-level jet was not obvious. The depression was vertically warm in the upper levels and cold in the low levels, and the axis of the depression tilted southeastward with height, whose characteristics were different not only from the monsoon depression in South Asia but also from the low vortex in the Meiyu front.     

一次台风变性并入东北冷涡过程的动力诊断分析

台风北移变性并入东北冷涡是造成东北地区夏季大范围暴雨的主要形式之一, 但其中的热动力结构变化特征及其物理机制尚不清晰。本文利用美国国家环境预报中心(NCEP)的再分析资料对一次台风变性并入东北冷涡过程进行动力诊断分析, 分析结果显示:冷涡冷空气的不断侵入以及台风移动形成的相对冷平流使得台风暖心结构消亡, 其低层低压辐合和高层高压辐散结构消失, 变性并入东北冷涡后气旋整层偏冷, 低层出现冷中心。台风变性并入东北冷涡过程中, 冷涡中心附近高空急流南侧的反气旋切变抑制气旋直接往高空发展, 而急流轴左侧的热动力分布特征有利于垂直涡度的发展, 变性后的气旋环流向冷涡的移近有利于急流轴维持倾斜, 从而促进气旋向高空冷涡倾斜发展。同时, 冷空气在气旋低层附近堆积导致等假相当位温线发生倾斜, 造成垂直涡度在气旋中层倾斜发展。台风变性并入东北冷涡后, 高空冷涡槽底的正垂直涡度平流促进气旋由中层直接向高层发展, 而高空冷涡槽底急流促进正垂直涡度平流的维持。气旋高空环流的发展反过来削弱了东北冷涡的高层环流, 导致高空冷涡中心出现北撤。     

高低空急流和水汽凝结过程对锢囚锋环流演变的影响

文中利用包括湍流摩擦耗散的原始方程模式研究了高空西风急流、低空南风急流和水汽凝结过程对锢囚锋环流时间演变和降水强度变化的影响 ,计算结果表明 ,水汽凝结过程与高空西风急流或低空南风急流的共同作用对锢囚锋环流的演变起非常重要的作用 ,能在锢囚锋区形成强中尺度深对流系统 ,与干大气中高空西风急流对锢囚锋环流的作用远大于低空南风急流的情况相反 ,在存在水汽凝结过程的湿大气中 ,低空南风急流对锢囚锋的影响远大于高空西风急流 ,它产生的降水过程时间更长 ,降水强度更大 ,降水范围更广 ,是锢囚锋区产生强中尺度降水的重要因子。     

高低空急流与水汽凝结过程对暖锋环流演变的影响

利用包括水汽凝结过程的原始方程模式模拟了高空西风急流和低空南风急流中暖锋环流的演变以及凝结的发生。计算结果显示,水汽凝结过程对暖锋环流有非常重大的作用,是暖锋锋区产生强中尺度深对流的重要机制。与干模式大气中高空西风急流对暖锋环流的影响远大于低空南风急流的结论相反,在含有水汽凝结过程的湿大气中,低空南风急流的作用远大于高空西风急流,它是暖锋锋区中产生强中尺度降水的更重要因子;高低空急流的共同作用,对湿暖锋锋区中多重中尺度雨带的形成具有重要作用。     

The role of dynamic and diabatic processes in the generation of cut-off lows over Northwest Africa

Summary The present observational study addresses the role of dynamic and diabatic processes leading to the generation of four deep upper-level troughs/cut-offs, involved in two extreme precipitation episodes over West Africa during the cool season. The elongated potential vorticity (PV) streamers associated with the observed troughs form as a result of an equatorward transport of high-PV air downstream of a large ridge over the central North Atlantic. Strong deformation along the eastern side of the ridge leads to a thinning of the PV streamers. In some situations the tips of the streamers break up and form distinct and long-lived stationary cut-offs near West Africa, in particular if the presence of another PV ridge downstream allows a complete isolation from the midlatitude westerlies. In other situations a prior anticyclonic wave-breaking event over Europe leads to an advection of high-PV towards the Iberian Peninsula that merges with the streamer and impedes a complete cut-off. The observations presented here suggest that the rapid amplification of the PV ridges over the North Atlantic and thus the subsequent streamer formation are related to upstream latent heating through non-conservative diabatic reduction of upper-level PV and through the strong divergent outflow near the tropopause that support large negative isentropic PV advection. The intense latent heat release is promoted by cyclo- and frontogenesis, and the transport of warm, moist air by a low-level jet ahead of the surface cold front (often called a warm conveyor belt; WCB). Diabatic PV tendencies are highest where the WCB rises over the surface warm front to the northeast or east of the cyclone centre. In most cases the distinct heating occurs in connection with a strong upper-level jet and a rapid deepening of the involved surface cyclone. More quantitative dynamical and statistical studies of the suggested relation are needed to better understand the relative contributions of single factors to the large and synoptic scale evolution that leads to PV streamers/cut-offs near West Africa.     

安徽一次大范围暴雨和大风过程的成因分析

对2010年6月8日08时—9日08时发生在安徽麦收区的一次大范围暴雨和大风过程进行天气学分析,分析结果表明:在低层辐合、高层辐散的有利环流配置条件下,高压的阻挡、低空西南急流和低空东风急流是形成这次暴雨的最主要原因。高压阻挡使降雨维持的时间较长,两支低空急流不仅为暴雨区提供了充沛的水汽,而且两者之间的相互作用使得降雨进一步增强。通过对低空东风急流的作用做深入分析发现:低空东风急流的存在不仅使低空西南急流输送的水汽在其左侧累积,而且低空东风急流上的正涡度平流也迫使江淮气旋向麦收区方向缓慢移动,并使其不断发展,进一步加大了江淮气旋移动前方的气压梯度,使风力加大,东风急流进一步加强,形成正反馈机制。另外东风急流的动量下传又使得地面出现偏东大风。     

Characterizing the severe turbulence environments associated with commercial aviation accidents. Part 2: Hydrostatic mesoscale numerical simulations of supergradient wind flow and streamwise ageostrophic frontogenesis

Summary Simulation experiments reveal key processes that organize a hydrostatic environment conducive to severe turbulence. The paradigm requires the juxtaposition of the entrance region of a curved jet streak, which is highly subgeostrophic, with the entrance region of a straight jet streak, which is highly supergeostrophic. The wind and mass fields become misphased as the entrance regions converge, resulting in significant spatial variation of inertial forcing, centripetal forcing, as well as along and cross-stream pressure gradient forcing over a meso- scale region. Maxima of these forces are misphased where the two dissimilar jet streaks converge and geostrophic balance is disrupted. Velocity divergence within the subgeostrophic region of largest upstream-directed pressure gradient force and velocity convergence near the region of largest downstream-directed centripetal/inertial-advective forcing act to produce a mesoscale front due to spatially varying confluent flow flanked by zones of increasing velocity divergence. This results in frontogenesis as well as the along-stream divergence of cyclonic and convergence of cyclonic ageostrophic vertical vorticity. The nonuniform centripetally forced mesoscale front becomes the locus of large gradients of ageostrophic vertical vorticity along an overturning isentrope. This region becomes favorable for streamwise vorticity gradient formation enhancing the environment for the organization of horizontal vortex tubes in the presence of buoyant forcing. This is because the mesoscale convergence of vertical vorticity on an overturning isentropic surface creates vertical rotation for the development of horizontal vorticity in regions where isentropic surfaces overturn. Vorticity, shear, and buoyancy are focused in one location by this front thus favoring an environment favorable for microvortex formation leading to turbulence.     

高空急流对青藏高原切变线影响的数值试验与动力诊断

利用NCEP 1°×1° FNL分析资料和中尺度数值模式WRF对一次青藏高原（简称高原）切变线过程进行了数值试验,主要研究高空急流强度对高原切变线的影响,并结合ω方程分析了影响高原切变线上垂直上升运动的若干因子。研究得出高空急流的强度对低层风场有重要影响,急流增强会使高原切变线上的风切变增大,切变线变长,同时高空急流强度的增强也有利于高原切变线上水汽的辐合。高空急流可通过影响高层辐散、低层辐合的散度场垂直配置对高原切变线上的正涡度柱与辐合上升运动产生作用。ω方程的诊断分析表明,温度平流的拉普拉斯项对高原切变线上的垂直上升运动起主导作用,低层暖平流有利于切变线上产生上升运动。高空急流强度的变化对差动涡度平流项的影响要大于温度平流拉普拉斯项,高空急流强度的增强会放大差动涡度平流项和温度平流项的正贡献,从而更加有利于上升运动及高原切变线的维持。      

Vertical vorticity development owing to down-sliding at slantwise isentropic surface

Based upon the conservation of Ertel potential vorticity and moist potential vorticity, a ‘parcel dynamic’ approach is used to investigate the development of vertical vorticity of a parcel which is sliding down a slantwise isentropic surface. An accurate form of the tendency equation of vertical vorticity is deduced to interpret such slantwise vorticity development (SVD). In addition to those dynamic terms in the traditional vertical vorticity equation, the newly developed accurate form includes several thermal terms associated with the changes in stability, vertical wind shear and baroclinity. It is proved that the combinative impacts of these thermal terms on the development of vertical vorticity can be expressed by a succinct theory of SVD. According to this theory, when the horizontal component of potential vorticity and stability possess opposite signs, and the slantwise isentropic surfaces are very steep, the vorticity development of the down-sliding flow at such isentropes can be dramatic. It is also shown that in a convectively unstable and saturated atmosphere, such vorticity development must be accompanied by the development of a low-level jet. Study of a torrential rain process shows that moist potential vorticity analysis is a powerful tool in the study of torrential rain occurrence. Results from the present study are in agreement with the contentions of earlier workers that moist symmetric instability is the cause of some heavy rainbands.
