凝结潜热在高原涡东移发展不同阶段作用的初步研究

为探讨潜热加热对高原涡发展的作用并加深对水汽与高原涡垂直结构及发展变化关系的认识。应用NCEP(1°×1°)再分析资料,通过大气热源诊断计算,分析2005年5月1~4日和2005年6月23~28日两次高原涡的垂直结构及生命史特征。通过比湿、涡度、Q2等诊断量的对比分析发现:高原涡在东移发展过程中,涡柱内水汽含量上升、涡度明显加强,水汽、涡度上传明显,两者在垂直方向的大值中心有较好的同步性。高原涡未下坡前,水汽通过凝结释放潜热的方式加热大气,高原涡暖中心结构明显。高原涡下坡过程中,其涡度和垂直速度均整层陡增,高原涡区域水汽含量下降,潜热加热作用减弱,暖中心结构消失。因此,大气中水汽的含量和垂直分布状况直接影响凝结潜热作用的发挥,凝结潜热对高原涡发展作用主要表现在高原涡下坡前和下坡后期,是高原涡下坡后是否继续东移发展的重要影响因素。     

一次西南低涡过程中强降水云系的特征分析

为了方便研究西南低涡伴随产生的云系空间特征,尝试使用TRMM卫星数据,结合NCEP再分析资料和常规观测资料,对2010年7月23日至24日发生在四川盆地内的一次西南低涡过程进行分析。结果表明,23日18Z受高原涡和台风的气流影响,四川盆地处于"鞍"型气压场内,西南低涡在该地区产生,至24日18Z有强降水在绵阳至广元一带出现。在这过程中,低层的偏南气流补充和水汽辐合倾斜上升,对低涡有加强作用。研究强降水产生时刻西南低涡降水云系的水平、垂直特征,显示云系发展出中尺度对流复合体,云系东南侧对流较强,并与云顶亮温梯度递减大值区、水汽辐合中心和对流云降水区三者相关。强降水云系顶部窄小,中部宽大,5km至近地面表现为倒梯形结构。低涡云系7至5km高度层对应层云上部的弱回波区,亮温-72℃的云系在7-10km高度包含有大量冰粒子。不同云顶亮温的云系内,最大降水率呈现三段阶梯状分布,亮温-68℃的云系表现出集中化和接地的特点,亮温-68℃至-60℃的云系在5km以下垂直分布均匀。云顶亮温越低,其内部最大降水出现的高度越低,且平均降水高度同最大降水出现高度的差距越大,西南低涡云系垂直特征与热对流有不同,低涡出现时需要关注云顶亮温-60℃的对流云。     

川东北一次秋季暴雨的诊断分析

针对2012年8月30日~9月1日发生在川东北地区的一次暴雨过程,利用24小时加密雨量观测资料、NCEP再分析格点资料,采用Barnes滤波方法及天气学诊断方法,对此次暴雨过程进行了分析。结果表明:在高原槽后冷空气与副热带高压西北侧西南暖湿气流交汇的环境场下,中尺度低压是此次暴雨的直接影响系统;低空西南急流不仅为川东北暴雨提供丰沛的水汽,同时也为中尺度系统的形成、发展提供能量来源和有利的动力条件;大尺度环境场为暴雨提供水汽来源及能量,而中尺度系统在层结不稳定触发下释放潜热产生对流,并为水汽的辐合和向上输送做出贡献;低层辐合、高层辐散的散度配置,有利于暴雨的发生与维持。     

一次持续大暴雨过程新一代天气雷达回波特征分析

为探讨西北地区东部的持续大暴雨过程成因及预警指标,利用2010年7月22~23日500~700hPa大气环流背景及天气影响系统和西峰新一代多普勒天气雷达回波资料分析,结果得到:500hPa西太平洋副热带高压外围河套地区环境场的演变高压外围低涡发展及维持,是这次持续性大暴雨过程的大气环流背景和影响天气系统,700hPa强盛的水汽场输送场与汇聚作用为这次持续性大暴雨过程提供了充沛的水汽条件,随着500hPa河套地区低涡-切变辐合系统的准静止维持造成这次持续性大暴雨过程;大暴雨前1.5~9.7km垂直方向上,存在明显的东南风场与西南风场的切变,风向随高度顺转,对应持续的暖平流;天气雷达强度回波反射率因子≥40dBz,暴雨期间维持少变;径向速度回波的水平辐合和气旋性涡旋运动与河套低涡切变天气系统对应一致;垂直液态水含量≥35kg.m2的雨团范围大、持续时间长;云顶回波高度维持在8km以上,对监测预警持续大暴雨天气具有一定指示意义。     

基于卫星观测的两例青藏高原低涡结构的初步分析

应用风云2C卫星云图和配有云顶亮温的MTSAT卫星红外云图,描述了两例青藏高原低涡形成、发展及消亡过程,云图清晰显示了高原低涡具有涡眼和暖心结构的特征,并利用水汽图分析揭示了缺乏水汽供应是导致这类低涡不能进一步发展并移出高原的重要原因.最后用1°×1°NCEP分析资料对高原低涡形成眼结构时的基本物理场进行了诊断计算.结果表明:低涡整体为上升气流,而涡眼区在近地层为下沉气流,上层为相对涡区较弱的上升气流;低层辐合,高层辐散.进而印证了动力学研究工作得出的高原低涡具有与热带气旋类低涡(TCLV, tropical cyclone-like vortices)类似的涡眼和暖心结构特征的结论.     

凉山“8·31”致洪暴雨过程的中尺度诊断分析

为了探索川西南山地大暴雨天气发生发展的机制,利用实况观测资料、NCEP再分析资料和卫星云图对2012年8月30～31日发生在凉山州北部的一次致洪局地大暴雨过程进行了中尺度诊断征分析。结果表明:此次局地大暴雨过程是在有利的环流背景下,由两高之间的切变和较强的西南低空急流共同作用产生的。暴雨区位于能量锋南侧,中低层不稳定能量丰富;垂直方向上相对涡度显著增大,低层辐合、高层辐散并伴随强烈的上升运动成为暴雨发生重要的动力条件;显著增大的水汽通量与强水汽辐合是大暴雨天气发生的重要水汽条件。MCS维持时间较长且稳定少动是导致暴雨的直接原因;近地层的中尺度辐合线是触发强对流的关键因子。     

复杂地形对西南低涡生成和移动影响的数值试验分析

为探讨四川盆地周边复杂地形对西南低涡发生发展以及移动的影响,利用NCEP 1°×1°再分析资料和中尺度非静力平衡模式WRF V3.4.1,对2010年7月16日至18日发生在四川盆地的一次西南低涡暴雨过程进行了再现模拟(控制试验)以及降低盆地周边不同地形高度的3组敏感性试验。结果表明,控制试验模拟出的西南低涡位置和强度与实况基本吻合。秦岭、大巴山山脉对西南低涡的形成不具有决定性影响,但对西南低涡的维持和发展具有非常重要的作用;横断山脉、云贵高原对西南低涡的生成位置、强度以及移动路径均很重要;青藏高原大地形对偏东气流的阻挡而产生的绕流有利于西南低涡的生成,对西南低涡的移动也有重要影响。除西南低涡以外,四川盆地周边地形所产生的一些局地小低涡的现象也值得关注。     

夏季青藏高原低涡结构的动力学研究

应用卫星云图资料分析了两例夏季青藏高原低涡发展过程及其结构演变,揭示出高原低涡结构特征的若干观测事实。在此基础上借鉴研究类热带气旋低涡的方法,将暖性青藏高原低涡视为受加热和摩擦强迫作用,且满足热成风平衡的轴对称涡旋系统,通过求解柱坐标系中的线性化涡旋模式,得出边界层动力作用下低涡的流函数解,重点讨论了地面热源强迫和边界层动力"抽吸泵"对高原低涡流场结构的作用。研究认为,由于边界层加热和摩擦的共同作用,高原低涡的温度场呈暖心结构。热源强迫的边界层低涡的散度场存在一个动力变性高度,该高度的位置与边界层顶高度有关。通过边界层动力抽吸作用,当边界层顶有气旋性涡度时,能引起边界层低涡的水平辐合运动和随高度增强的上升运动,并可加强低涡的切向流场;如果低涡的中心区域为"内冷外热"型加热分布,则热源强迫的低涡中心区域下层为辐散气流和随时间减弱的切向流场,上层为辐合气流和随时间增强的切向流场,并伴有下沉运动,从而有利于形成涡眼(或空心)结构,在卫星云图上表现为低涡中心为少云(或无云)区,即这类高原低涡具有与台风类似的眼结构,因而可视为类热带气旋涡旋的新例证。最后通过高原低涡的简化模型对低涡所含的波动进行了分析和讨论,结果表明:高原低涡中既含有涡旋Rossby波,又含有惯性重力波,即低涡波动呈现涡旋Rossby-惯性重力混合波特征。     

高原低涡结构特征模拟与诊断的初步研究

利用二重嵌套的非静力中尺度数值模式MM5对2005年7月28—29日的一次高原低涡过程进行了数值模拟,并利用模拟结果对此次低涡的结构进行了初步分析。结果表明：MM5模式对此次低涡过程有较好的模拟能力,模拟出的位势高度场分布和涡度场结构与实况基本吻合。此次高原低涡具有同热带气旋相似的涡眼（空心）结构和暖心结构。在流场上,高原低涡在涡眼区下层表现为辐散下沉运动,上层为辐合上升运动;而在涡心四周下层表现为辐合上升运动,上层为辐散下沉运动;在涡度场上,高原低涡下层为正涡度区,上层为负涡度区。

Interdecadal variability of the South China Sea monsoon and its relationship with latent heat flux in the Pacific Ocean

We analyzed interdecadal variability of the South China Sea monsoon and its relationship with latent heat flux in the Pacific Ocean, using NCEP wind field and OAFlux heat flux datasets. Results indicate that South China Sea monsoon intensity had an obvious interdecadal variation with a decreasing trend. Variability of the monsoon was significantly correlated with latent heat flux in the Kuroshio area and tropical Pacific Ocean. Variability of latent heat flux in the Kuroshio area had an interdecadal increasing trend, while that in the tropical Pacific Ocean had an interdecadal decreasing trend. Latent heat flux variability in these two sea areas was used to establish a latent heat flux index, which had positive correlation with variability of the South China Sea monsoon. When the latent heat flux was 18 months ahead of the South China Sea monsoon, the correlation coefficient maximized at 0.58 (N=612), with a 99.9% significance level of 0.15. Thus, it is suggested that latent heat flux variability in the two areas contributes greatly to interdecadal variability of the South China Sea monsoon.     

Numerical simulation of the genesis of typhoon Durian (2001) over the South China Sea: The effect of sea surface temperature

Typhoon Durian (2001),which formed over the South China Sea (SCS),was simulated by using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. The genesis of typhoon Durian which formed in the monsoon trough was reproduced by numerical simulations. The simulated results agree reasonably well with observations. Two numerical experiments in which the sea surface temperature (SST) was either decreased or increased were performed to investigate the impact of the SST on the genesis of the ty-phoon. When the SST was decreased by 5℃ uniformly for all grids in the model,the winds calculated became divergent in the lower troposphere and convergent in the upper troposphere,creating conditions in which the amount of total latent heat release (TLHR) was low and the tropical cyclone (TC) could not be formed. This simulation shows the importance of the convergence in the lower tropo-sphere and the divergence in the upper troposphere for the genesis of the initial vortex. When the SST was increased by 1℃ uni-formly for all grids,a stronger typhoon was generated in the results with an increase of about 10 m s-1 in the maximum surface wind speed. Only minor differences in intensity were noted during the first 54 h in the simulation with the warmer SST,but apparent dif-ferences in intensity occurred after 54 h when the vortex began to strengthen to typhoon strength. This experiment shows that warmer SST will speed the strengthening from tropical storm strength to typhoon strength and increase the maximum intensity reached,while only minor impact can be seen during the earlier stage of genesis before the TC reaches the tropical storm strength. The results sug-gest that the amount of TLHR may be the dominant factor in determining the formation and the intensification of the TC.     

三峡库区典型样带潜热通量遥感反演与验证

本文以三峡库区腹地的部分地区为典型样带,利用遥感数据的时效性和区域性优势,结合常规气象数据,定量反演样带地表潜热通量,并对比验证遥感反演方法的可行性和可靠性。结果表明：潜热通量在不同地表覆被状况下呈现较大差异,城镇居民区和无植被覆盖区一般在20~80W·m^-2;人工林场、山区森林及草灌和山前农作区在180~280W·m^-2;水体则分布在420~470W·m^-2,潜热通量整体呈现出随地表覆被变化而变化的空间异质性。此外,由于库区地表覆被类型多样,并受到山区起伏地形地貌的影响,潜热通量在空间分布上的地形分异特征也较显著。     

Contribution of Oceanic Circulation to the Poleward Heat Flux

Oceanic contribution to the poleward heat flux in the climate system includes two components： the sensible heat flux and the latent heat flux. Although the latent heat flux has been classified as atmospheric heat flux exclusively, it is argued that oceanic control over this component of poleward heat flux should play a critically important role. The so-called swamp ocean model practice is analyzed in detail, and the critical role of oceanic circulation in the establishment of the meridional moisture transport is emphasized.     

Contribution of oceanic circulation to the polewar heat flux

Oceanic contribution to the poleward heat flux in the climate system includes two components: the sensible heat flux and the latent heat flux. Although the latent heat flux has been classified as atmospheric heat flux exclusively, it is argued that oceanic control over this component of poleward heat flux should play a critically important role. The so-called swamp ocean model practice is analyzed in detail, and the critical role of oceanic circulation in the establishment of the meridional moisture transport is emphasized.     

Interannual variability of latent and sensible heat fluxes in the South China Sea

The South China Sea (SCS) is significantly influenced by El Niño and the Southern Oscillation (ENSO) through ENSO-driven atmospheric and oceanic changes. We analyzed measurements made from 1960 to 2004 to investigate the interannual variability of the latent and sensible heat fluxes over the SCS. Both the interannual variations of latent and sensible heat fluxes are closely related to ENSO events. The low-pass mean heat flux anomalies vary in a coherent manner with the low-pass mean Southern Oscillation Index (SOI). Time lags between the heat flux anomalies and the SST anomalies were also studied. We found that latent heat flux anomalies have a minimum value around January of the year following El Niño events. During and after the mature phase of El Niño, a change of atmospheric circulation alters the local SCS near-surface humidity and the monsoon winds. During the mature phase of El Niño, the wind speed decreases over the entire sea, and the air-sea specific humidity difference anomalies decreases in the northern SCS and increases in the southern SCS. Thus, a combined effect of wind speed anomalies and air-sea specific humidity difference anomalies results in the latent heat flux anomalies attaining minimum levels around January of the year following an El Niño year.     

Role of sea ice in air-sea exchange and its relation to sea fog

Synchronous or quasi-synchronous stereoscopic sea-ice-air comprehensive observation was conducted during the First China Arctic Expedition in summer of 1999. Based on these data, the role of sea ice in sea-air exchange was studied. The study shows that the kinds, distribution and thickness of sea ice and their variation significantly influence the air-sea heat exchange. In floating ice area, the heat momentum transferred from ocean to atmosphere is in form of latent heat; latent heat flux is closely related to floating ice concentration; if floating ice is less, the heat flux would be larger. Latent heat flux is about 21 23.6 W*m-2, which is greater than sensible heat flux. On ice field or giant floating ice, heat momentum transferred from atmosphere to sea ice or snow surface is in form of sensible heat. In the floating ice area or polynya, sea-air exchange is the most active, and also the most sensible for climate. Also this area is the most important condition for the creation of Arctic vapor fog. The heat exchange of a large-scale vapor fog process of about 500000 km2 on Aug. 21 22,1999 was calculated; the heat momentum transferred from ocean to air was about 14.8×109 kW. There are various kinds of sea fog, radiation fog, vapor fog and advection fog, forming in the Arctic Ocean in summer. One important cause is the existence of sea ice and its resultant complexity of both underlying surface and sea-air exchange.     

Energy Balance of Irrigated Intercropping Field in the Middle Reaches of Heihe River Basin

1 Introduction Most of the solar radiation that ecosystem seizes is con- sumed on latent, sensible and soil heat flux. Among them, latent heat flux shares the biggest part (Gutierrez and Meizer, 1994; Ham et al., 1991; Rachidi et al., 1993). The radiation budget and the energy balance are crucial to water conversion and effective water utilization. Also, they are important parts of research of water-saving ag- riculture (Mo et al., 1997). At present, the researches on radiation budget and e…
