A NUMERICAL STUDY FOR THE EFFECT OF TROPICAL 40-50 DAY OSCILLATION ON ASIAN SUMMER MONSOON

By using a five-layer primitive equation model with P-sigma coordinates,the effect of convective heating source with the oscillation of a dipole pattern over the tropical Indian Ocean-Western Pacific on Asian summer monsoon is investigated.The results from simulations show that the oscillatary heating source may cause oscillations in east-west zonal circulation at the equator,in cross-equatorial flow,in meridional monsoon circulation and in the phase of high-low level circulation over Asia,with period same as that of the oscillating heat source.Furthermore,the influence mechanism of the tropical heating source associated with oscillations on Asian summer monsoon circulation is also studicd.It is clearly shown that the westward propagation of thermally-forced Rossy waves to the west of the oscillatary heating source and the northward propagation of disturbances can give rise to oscillations of the equatorial east-west zonal circulation and monsoonal meridional circulation.Finally,the oscillation of all the Asian summer monsoon circulation is formed.     

2007 年南海夏季风季节内振荡的北传及影响因子

利用2007年全球降水气候计划GPCP(the Global Precipitation Climatology Project)卫星红外窗口导出的全球降水指数GPI(the Global Precipitation Index)的日降水资料及频率-波数分析方法,分析2007年南海夏季风季节内振荡(Intraseasonal Oscillation,ISO)的传播特征,并使用美国国家环境预报中心(NCEP)/美国大气研究中心(NCAR)再分析的逐日资料,探讨影响其传播的主要因子.结果表明,南海夏季风ISO有明显的北传趋势,并且明显比南传分量占优.影响南海夏季风ISO北传的主要因子是平均纬向风垂直切变和平均经向风对异常水汽的输送.之所以异常经向风对平均水汽的输送及海-气相可作用的影响在南海地区不重要,而在印度季风区有一定的贡献,是因为平均水汽和纬向风分布在两个地区的差异.     

Inland Propagation of Sea Breeze under Opposing Offshore Wind

Summary  According to past experience, the nearly stagnant conditions caused by the presumed equilibrium between the Saronikos Gulf sea breeze and an opposing synoptic flow is identified as the principal mechanism leading to high pollution episodes in Athens during the summer. However, previous experimental work has not examined in detail the interaction of the sea breeze flow with the opposing background flow. In this context, recent experimental work covering the basic key-locations of the Athens Basin focused on the inland propagation of the southerly sea breeze from the coast to the northern part of the basin mainly under moderate northerly background wind. During this campaign, a network of four meteorological stations established along the Athens Basin and a high range acoustic sounder at the centre of Athens operated over a two months time period in the summer of 1993. In addition, tethered balloon flights in the centre of Athens and on a sea vessel about 15 km offshore were employed during an experimental day with moderate opposing background wind. The results from this experimental campaign include the documentation of the sea breeze delay and its intensity as a function of a sea breeze index and features of the vertical structure of the sea breeze over land as well as over sea.

THE EAST ASIA/PACIFIC PATTERN TELECONNECTION OF SUMMER CIRCULATION AND CLIMATE ANOMALY IN EAST ASIA

In this paper,many observations show that the thermal states including the SST,the convective activities in the west-ern Pacific warm pool largely influence the interannual and intraseasonal variations of summer circulation and the cli-mate anomalies in East Asia.Moreover,it is pointed out that there is a teleconnection pattern of summer circulationanomalies in the Northern Hemisphere,the so-called East Asia/Pacific pattern.The cause of the teleconnection pattern is studied by using the theory of quasi-stationary planetary wave propaga-tion,and it may be due to the propagation of quasi-stationary planetary waves forced by heat source around thePhilippines.Moreover,this pattern is well simulated by using a quasi-geostrophic,linear,spherical model and theIAP-GCM,respectively.     

1981—2000年四川夏季暴雨大尺度环流背景特征

利用四川盆地及周边地区1981—2000年逐日降雨量资料和ECMWF逐日4次再分析资料,合成分析近20 a发生在四川夏季的22次典型暴雨过程的大尺度环流背景特征。结果表明,四川夏季暴雨的发生具有显著的轴向分布性和区域移动性特征。西伸的西太平洋副热带高压、北上东进的伊朗高压及高原东部的弱高压、活跃的孟加拉低压和影响四川北部的中高纬长波分裂的低压槽共同作用形成了四川暴雨发生阶段的特殊的＂鞍＂型大尺度环流背景。在＂鞍＂型大尺度环流背景下,有利于西南支孟加拉湾水汽和南海水汽输送在四川盆地形成低层辐合,同时在高层形成西南—东北的轴向急流辐合带,水汽输送散度负的大值区即为暴雨发生的主要落区。此外,四川北部在两高压相夹下,有利于高纬度大尺度的两高一脊环流调整产生的弱槽携带冷空气影响四川盆地,形成高层弱冷干与低层强暖湿的强垂直对流不稳定。对比40 a四川夏季平均环流可知,导致四川夏季暴雨发生的＂鞍＂型大尺度环流背景特征极为显著,具体表现为：西太平洋副热带高压西伸到110°E附近,青藏高原西侧伊朗高压偏北、青藏高原高层南压高压偏东,而高原低层有弱高压,四川北部冷槽显著偏南。     

季风背景流场及跨赤道气流相关因子的探讨

本文采用数值试验方法、研究了冬季风和夏季风背景流场及跨赤道气流的相关因子。试验结果表明,西风带的分布与南北半球行星尺度锋区及赤道高温带的季节性经向位移相关。西风急流位置发生改变,可使基流与大地形强迫作用的非线性动力效应变化,导致大气运动趋向于不同背景流场的平衡态,形成了冬季风、夏季风的环流型以及跨赤道气流的季节特征。      

青藏高原热力作用对南海及周边区域夏季气候的影响研究进展

针对青藏高原热力强迫作用对东亚夏季风强度、南海夏季风爆发早晚、南海周边区域旱涝的影响,以及在全球变暖背景下其对降水格局的影响等科学研究进行了总结回顾,并就青藏高原热力作用对南海周边区域夏季气候的影响科学问题进行了探讨。研究表明,高原冬春积雪异常通过影响雪盖反照率、改变辐射平衡和通过积雪-水文效应改变土壤湿度两个途径来影响东亚夏季风;通过改变大陆-海洋经向热力对比影响南海季风爆发早晚;通过改变西太平洋副高位置和季风环流变化来影响华南和长江流域夏季降水的分布。在全球变暖背景下,青藏高原感热加热的减弱可能对降水年代际“南涝北旱”格局的形成具有重要贡献。随着全球变暖减缓,青藏高原中部和东部的感热呈现出复苏态势,“南涝北旱”的降水格局分布在将来有可能被打破。      

Construction of the OKJ teleconnection index

This study focuses on the construction of an index to measure Okhotsk–Japan (OKJ) teleconnection pattern that mainly occurs in early summer. There are three major results presented here. The first is that four indices were developed to describe the OKJ pattern occurring in the monthly mean height field by using one point correlation and empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis. Although there is no substantial difference among them, the third OKJ index (OKJ-III) gives a better result for the OKJ pattern when correlated with height field at 500 hPa in June. Second, there exists a significant positive correlation between the East Asian monsoon index and the OKJ-III in June. The positive OKJ-III is associated with the positive anomalies of precipitation rate to the south of the Yangtze River and Northeast China in June and negative anomalies of the surface air temperature over Japan in June through August and vice versa. All of these coincide well with the features of Rossby wave propagation in OKJ pattern that were summarized in previous studies. This index that simply represents the strength of the OKJ propagation can be used as a diagnostic tool to assess East Asian summer monsoon climate, especially for the month of June. Third, the OKJ pattern can be detected by using the first principal component of the EOF analysis in June 500 hPa height field, and it accounts for large portion of the total variance. Such a strong OKJ signal was not found in the rest of the summer months, i.e., July and August. These results strongly suggest the importance of the OKJ pattern in the East Asian circulation of early summer.     

FORMATION MECHANISM AND PROPAGATION CHARACTERISTICS OF THE EQUATORIAL THERMALLY-FORCED SHORT-TERM CLIMATIC OSCILLATION DURING THE NORTHERN SUMMER

In this study, in order to investigate the global climatic oscillations forced by sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies over equatorial central-eastern Pacific, two numerical schemes with different SST distri-butions (normal and anomalous cases) are tested by using a nine-layer global spectral model. Experiment results show that (i) in northern summer, a wave train that is similar to the teleconnection pattern suggested by Nitta (1987) and Huang (1987) in the Northern Hemisphere and another one in the Southern Hemisphere are reproduced; (ii) simulated results suggest that the response of atmosphere in middle-high latitudes of both hemispheres to an anomalous heating source is more sensitive in tropical western Pacific than in equatorial central-eastern Pacific; and (iii) in northern summer, the formation of low-frequency oscillations on monthly (seasonal) time scale results from energy dispersion as well as interactions between eddies and zonal flow; and between eddies.     

最敏感扰动的演变与夏季乌拉尔地区的持续性异常环流

通过数值实验对初始扰动不稳定发展建立异常环流型的过程进行了分析。选择了东亚夏季风异常的１９９１年和１９８５年两个典型年份的平均环流作为基流,以共轭敏感性分析得到的最敏感扰动作为初始扰动,分析其在不同的环流背景下的发展情况。结果说明,１９９１年欧亚地区的基流不稳定性较强,且初始扰动结构有利扰动发展,因而通过能量频散在乌拉尔地区激发扰动并强烈发展,建立起阻塞形势。而１９８５年的扰动在乌拉尔地区形成正涡度距平,不利于阻高的建立。从而导致１９９１年和１９８５年夏季乌拉尔地区几乎相反的异常环流。一系列对比实验说明,异常环流型的建立,不仅依靠能量的频散,更依靠扰动通过正压不稳定过程从基流吸收能量而发展。它既有赖于基流自身的不稳定,又取决于初始扰动的结构以及相对于基流的位置。基流选择了具有特定结构的初始扰动型,只要在有利位置上给予扰动,就能够激发出扰动波列,建立强的持续异常环流型。不论初始波列的位相在一定范围内如何改变,扰动总是倾向于在基流的特定不稳定区域发展。     

影响北京夏季降水异常的大尺度环流特征

利用1951--2004年500hPa高度场、副高特征量及北京降水量资料，采用相关和合成分析方法，研究了夏季北半球500hPa环流异常与北京旱涝的关系。结果表明：北京夏季降水与副高强度和位置的关系比较复杂，中高纬与副热带环流特征的各种配置会对北京夏季降水产生不同的影响。欧亚中高纬环流出现欧亚-太平洋遥相关型，华北上空持续受高压控制；北京及附近地区处在西高东低的形势下，持续受西北下沉气流控制是北京夏季少雨的有利环流条件。北京及附近地区位于低压槽区或处在东高西低的下游“阻塞”形势，是北京夏季多雨的基本环流条件。研究的结果为北京地区夏季旱涝预测提供了环流背景。     

长江下游旱涝与夏半年欧亚环流30～60天振荡的年际变化

对 2 5a(1 971～ 1 995年 )逐候东半球热带外 50 0 h Pa高度距平场进行小波分析和旋转主成分分析 ,研究了 30～ 60 d低频振荡的时空变化及其与长江下游夏季旱涝和暴雨频数年际变化的关系。结果表明 :6～ 1 0月欧亚型 (EU)低频振荡强度与长江下游暴雨频数成显著负相关 ,同时 ,提出了能揭示变量间非线性关系的对比函数分析 (CFA)方法 ,发现当 5～ 8月西太平洋型 (WP)低频流型偏强时 ,长江下游暴雨频数增加 ,容易发生洪涝 ;反之 ,无明显影响。仅当前期 3～ 5月南亚大陆型偏强时长江下游降水量偏少 ,而 3～ 5月南亚大陆型偏弱时暴雨频数明显增加。因此 ,长江下游旱涝与低频流型异常之间同时存在线性和非线性相关。     

Structure and characteristics of submonthly-scale waves along the Indian Ocean ITCZ

This study examines wave disturbances on submonthly (6–30-day) timescales over the tropical Indian Ocean during Southern Hemisphere summer using Japanese Reanalysis (JRA25-JCDAS) products and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration outgoing longwave radiation data. The analysis period is December–February for the 29 years from 1979/1980 through 2007/2008. An extended empirical orthogonal function (EEOF) analysis of daily 850-hPa meridional wind anomalies reveals a well-organized wave-train pattern as a dominant mode of variability over the tropical Indian Ocean. Daily lagged composite analyses for various atmospheric variables based on the EEOF result show the structure and evolution of a wave train consisting of meridionally elongated troughs and ridges along the Indian Ocean Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). The wave train is oriented in a northeast–southwest direction from Sumatra toward Madagascar. The waves have zonal wavelengths of about 3,000–5,000 km and exhibit westward and southwestward phase propagation. Individual troughs and ridges as part of the wave train sequentially travel westward and southwestward from the west of Sumatra into Madagascar. Meanwhile, eastward and northeastward amplification of the wave train occurs associated with the successive growth of new troughs and ridges over the equatorial eastern Indian Ocean. This could be induced by eastward and northeastward wave energy dispersion from the southwestern to eastern Indian Ocean along the mean monsoon westerly flow. In addition, the waves modulate the ITCZ convection. Correlation statistics show the average behavior of the wave disturbances over the tropical Indian Ocean. These statistics and other diagnostic measures are used to characterize the waves obtained from the composite analysis. The waves appear to be connected to the monsoon westerly flow. The waves tend to propagate through a band of the large meridional gradient of absolute vorticity produced by the mean monsoon westerly flow. This suggests that the monsoon westerly flow provides favorable background conditions for the propagation and maintenance of the waves and acts as a waveguide over the tropical Indian Ocean. The horizontal structure of the wave train may be interpreted as that of a mixture of equatorial Rossby waves and mixed Rossby-gravity wavelike gyres.     

东亚夏季一个与鄂霍次克海阻高建立及副高北上相关的遥相关类型(英)

研究了鄂霍次克海阻高及西太平洋副热带高压的关系,解释了当鄂霍次克海阻高活跃时副热带高压北上缓慢的原因。具体如下(1)通过对鄂霍次克海阻高指数和500 hPa高度的相关分析发现,夏季东亚附近容易出现一个类似偶极子的遥相关类型;(2)这个遥相关类型与鄂霍次克海阻高发展时产生的从鄂霍次克海经日本东部海面到副热带方面传播的波列紧密相关;(3)伴随鄂霍次克海高压的发展,此波列的传播形成一个以日本东部海面为中心的气旋式环流,起着削弱副高北缘的重要作用。这个作用可以部分解释为什么1998年夏季副高会非常偏南。

青藏高原热力状况异常特征及其与长江中下游地区夏季降水的关系

本文首先对青藏高原热力状况特征进行统计分析，得出高原下垫面热力状况分布具有复杂性和多样性，除具有整个高原一致性外，还具有南北反相关及东西反相关等异常的热力对比分布型，不同的下垫面热力分布型能够对大气环产生不同的影响。并针对南北反相现象进行成因及持续性分析，青藏高原下垫面热力状况南北反相关分布型与大气环流的异常有关，分析表明青藏高原下垫面热力状况南北反相关分布型与大气环流的异常有关，青藏高原下垫面热力状况异常实际上可能是亚洲冬季风异常活动的结果；而高原下垫面热力异常状况具有较强的持续性，其与后期大气环流存在密切的联系，通过影响亚洲夏季风进而影响我国夏季降水的分布型，即当青藏高原下同前冬热力状况为南侧偏暖（冷），北侧则偏冷（暖）分布时，对应长江中下游地区夏季易偏旱（涝），反之亦然。     

青藏高原中东部夏季降水变化及其与北大西洋涛动的联系

利用青藏高原中东部地区1961～1990年2000m以上的66个台站夏季（6～8月）降水资料分析了其时空变化特征,发现高原南北降水具有反向变化的特点;结合500hPa高度场及风场资料,讨论了造成高原中东部降水异常的环流特征,指出北大西洋涛动变化可能是影响高原中东部降水的重要原因之一。与北大西洋涛动相联系的中纬度西风异常,通过对高原的西风环流的动力作用的改变,进而引起高原南北槽脊系统的同时加强或减弱,最终造成高原南北部降水的相反变化。     

冬季积雪的异常分布型及其与冬、夏大气环流的耦合关系

采用 ECMWF1 979～ 1 993年 2 .5°× 2 .5°的网格点积雪深度资料 ,研究了较为细致的积雪异常的空间分布特征 ,揭示了欧亚大陆冬季积雪的异常空间分布型 ;并采用 SVD方法研究了冬季积雪的异常分布型与冬、夏大气环流的耦合关系。结果表明 :欧亚大陆冬季积雪深度存在典型的异常空间分布型 ;积雪的异常分布型与冬、夏大气环流之间均存在一定的耦合关系。冬季积雪的异常分布型与大气 EU遥相关型存在明显的同时性相互作用 ,大气 EU遥相关型有利于冬季积雪异常分布型的出现和维持 ,而积雪异常分布型对大气 EU遥相关型的发生起一定的作用 ,进而对冬季风活动产生影响。冬季积雪的这种异常分布型与夏季大气环流 ,尤其是东亚地区的夏季大气环流 ,也存在一定的联系。积雪异常分布型可以通过影响副热带高压的南北进退 ,对东亚季风及中国夏季雨带产生影响。
