赤道地区向西传播的40天周期低频波

本文用滤波和EOF位相合成技术对1981年7—12月份赤道地区出现的向西传播的40天周期低频波进行了分析。结果认为东太平洋地区从南半球到北半球的越赤道40天周期温度波是产生这种西传波的主要原因。这种波动主要产生于两个源地:一个是赤道150°E附近的对流层下层;另一个是110°W的赤道对流层上层。这两处产生的低频波性质不一样,前者与对流密切相关。通过计算整层积分的非绝热加热Q_1和水汽汇Q_2,结果表明Q_1加热中心在东太平洋也有越赤道传播。在150°E以西Q_2加热中心是向西北传播的,与低频波方向一致,Q_1的传播特征不明显,这说明西太平洋地区的热带对流可能有这种周期振荡。     

热带对流层大气低频振荡机制的初步研究

本文从赤道β平面近似下的线性化扰动方程组出发,基于第二类条件不稳定(CISK)理论,研究了热带对流层大气准40天低频振荡的动力机制。研究发现,当对流层中、上层存在较大的对流凝结加热时可激发出纬向波数为1、周期为40天左右的不稳定Kelvin波,它以每天8到11个经度的相速缓慢向东移动。由此指出,观测到的热带对流层大气30—50天的低频振荡可能正是这种由对流凝结加热所驱动的缓慢东移的Kelvin波的具体表现。这可对热带对流层大气30—50天低频振荡现象的动力机制给以初步的物理解释。      

大气对热带热源低频响应的数值研究

本文设计—关于基本气流线性化的二层球面模式研究大气对不同类型赤道热源的低频响应,分析了全球大气40—50天低频振荡的结构和传播特点。结果表明:全球大气对热带热源响应特征是在热带地区表现为东西向非对称的热源东侧的Kelvin响应和西侧的Rossby响应,高低层反位相;在中高纬响应是具有低频振荡的二维Rossby波列,且具有相当正压结构。低频振荡的传播特征表明热带大气对移动性热源的响应更有利于振荡的向东传播,且该振荡可以沿波列路径向中高纬度传播,然后再折向低纬。二维Rossby波列是联系着热带和中高纬度地区低频振荡的基本动力学途径。该波列的形成取决于基本气流的分布,冬半球波列振幅较大。因此本文认为40—50天低频振荡是全球尺度的现象,它是一涉及到热带对流加热、赤道Kelvin波、亦道Rossby波、二维Rossby波列以及基本气流等动力学相互作用的过程。     

OLR资料所揭示的热带地区低频振荡的变化特征

本文使用1979年1月至1984年12月射出长波辐射(OLR)资料,对热带地区低频振荡的一些特性进行了研究,认为正常年份30—60天振荡的合成功率谱最强,El Nino年最弱。低频波活动冬夏差异较大,其年际变化大值区冬季在赤道地区,夏季位置偏北,位于印度洋和西太平洋。就六年平均而言,低频波在西太平洋及印度洋地区有明显的经向传播,赤道地区低频波的纬向传播主要集中在北半球夏季。此外,30—60天OLR滤波场的强弱与印度季风的爆发和减弱有较好的对应关系。      

热带OLR异常准二年周期的初步研究

本文用带通滤波、单点相关和EOF研究了热带(40°N—40°S)OLR异常准二年周期的水平结构。指出其空间模态具有纬向偶极结构,它同热带行星波数2相联系。印尼—赤道中太平洋偶极型的准二年周期变化同赤道QBO有一定关系。后延相关和交叉谱分析揭示出赤道低纬OLR异常准二年周期在东非—赤道中太平洋(30°E—150°W)为驻波振荡,而在赤道东太平洋—赤道大西洋巴西海岸(140—40°W)则为向西传播。      

对流凝结加热的垂直分布与低纬大气的30～60天低频振荡

运用一个包含Wave-CISK机制的斜压半地转8层模式和本征函数展开方法，研究了三种不同的对流凝结加热廓线对低纬大气的30—60天低频振荡的影响。研究表明，不同的加热廓线分布时30～60天低频振荡具有不同的相速和周期，并且低频振荡特征相速的量级都是o(10m／s)，由Wave-CISK机制激发的低频CISK—Kelvin波和CISK—Rossby波都是稳定的。同时，还进一步揭示了不同加热廓线对低纬大气30～60天低频振荡垂直结构的影响。     

秋季中低纬低频振荡传播与长江中下游的连晴、连阴雨

对1983年～1985年9月～11月份850hpa的经纬向风场进行了15d～25d的带通滤波分析。结果表明,110°E经向风低频振荡波存在阶段性地从南半球(北半球)越过赤道向北(南)传播,低频越赤道气流存在阶段性地明显向东、向西传播,它们在5天平均低频风场中表现为低频气旋、反气旋环流的周期性振荡变化,并都与长江中下游地区的连晴、连阴雨天气的时间分布相联系。     

全球大气季节内振荡的机制研究

本文利用经过滤波的1980—1988年欧洲中心资料及1980—1983年OLR滤波资料,初步分析了全球大气季节内振荡的机制,得到如下结果:全球大气的季节内振荡有内在联系。赤道区域势函数场的季节内振荡表现为行星波的东传。OLR场在60E—150W范围有东传,60W—0有明显的40—50天振荡。散度场则表现为散度中心的孤立局地振荡。在季节内时间尺度上,暖水域上OLR振荡中心与散度振荡中心相对应;冷水域上散度振荡中心则没有OLR振荡中心对应。低纬散度场的40—50天振荡与中高纬季节内振荡有很好的相关。低纬区域60E—150W与60W—0范围的OLR季节内振荡可能是南北半球中高纬大气季节内振荡的源。     

1979年夏季40—50天周期振荡的空间结构及其位相传播

本文根据FGGE Level Ⅲb资料详细分析了1979年夏季大范围内(30°S—30°N,30°E—150°W)40—50天周期振荡的空间分布及其传播特点。结果证实了早先关于“这些低频振荡主要表现为纬向风振荡”的究研结果,且它们向东向北传播。而季风区域850毫巴经向风的振荡周期却小于10天,这或许反映了这一地区季风扰动的活跃。在赤道,40—50天周期的纬向风的扰动系统地向东(600公里/天)和向上(0.7公里/天)传播。纬向风、位势高度和大尺度的“视热源”场之间的位相关系表明这些扰动确实不象大气中的开尔文波。与赤道地区不同,沿着15°N的纬向风的位相虽然也向东传播但不很系统。在这一纬度,纬向风的振荡在季风地区是低层显著,而西太平洋地区是在高层显著。这两个系统的相互作用导致西风或东风在阿拉伯海地区向下传播。西风(东凤)向下的位相对应着南亚和东南亚地区季风活跃(中断)的开始。     

关于热带大气低频振荡的一个简单模式与数值模拟

本文首先从观测事实分析了热带大气的低频振荡现象，然后从理论上加以研究。为此，本文建立了一个包括触发热源和CISK机制的三维线性模式，用此模式讨论了热带大气低频振荡的性质、结构、传播和动力学机制。从模式的计算结果得到了周期为30d左右以大约9 m/s的速度向东传播的低频振荡现象，这种振荡为Kelvin波型的响应和向西传播的Rossby波型的响应的结合。计算还表明，这种振荡的周期与触发热源的周期关系不大，这说明了热带大气的低频振荡是大气自身的固有振荡，它是大尺度运动与对流凝结加热相互作用的结果。     

大气对南极冰异常的遥响应及其季节内振荡

运用ＩＡＰＡＧＣＭ模式证实了大气对南极冰异常的强迫遥响应是激发产生全球大气季节内振荡的重要机制,进而着重考察了候平均偏差结果的时间序列,并且通过带通滤波处理,特别分析了响应场中３０～６０ｄ低频振荡的特征及其活动。通过分析发现：大气对南极冰减退的响应是一种具有３０～６０ｄ周期的低频遥响应,并呈现出清楚的二维Ｒｏｓｓｂｙ波列特征;强迫场中的３０～６０ｄ季节内振荡具有着同实际大气中的低频振荡相类似的垂直结构和传播特征。大气响应场中３０～６０ｄ振荡能量在垂直方向上随高度的增加而增加,在纬向上表现出明显的区域性特征,即季节内振荡的最大动能区（由于ＣＩＳＫ机制）分布在大洋内;ＥＵＰ,ＰＮＡ,ＡＳＡ和ＲＳＡ波列可能是全球大气低频扰动传播的主要路径,３０～６０ｄ低频扰动在波列路径上的传播具有很大的一致性和系统性,从而使中高纬和热带地区、以及南北半球的３０～６０ｄ大气振荡相互联系起来,而且可以认为,赤道中太平洋和赤道中大西洋地区是南北半球３０～６０ｄ低频振荡间相互作用和相互联系的重要通道。     

海平面月平均气压场低频波的时空谱分析

本文根据Hayashi提出的时空谱分析方法,对1951—1974年10—60°N的海平面月平均气压场格点资料进行分析,给出了瞬变低频波及其分量(纯东进波、纯西退波和驻波)的时空特性。分析了不同谐波、不同纬度上盛行的周期,并对主要周期的特性加以分析。最后,文章分析了南方涛动与北半球行星1波的关系。指出南方涛动对北半球星行星1波的影响主要表现为热带东传的低频波,北半球副热带也存在着涛动系统,造成准3年周期的低频驻波。      

CISK-rossby wave and the 30-60 Day Oscillation in the Tropics

The 30-60 day oscillation is an important aspect of the atmospheric variance in the tropical area. A number of works have been done on this phenomenon, this article is a further one. A quasi-geostrophic linear model that consists of a two-layer free atmosphere and a well-mixed boundary layer is used to investigate the instability of intraseasonal oscillation, its propagation and vertical structures. Results show that the dynamical coupling and interaction between the barotropic and baroclinic components via boundary layer convergence / divergence are responsible for the appearance of a new kind of low-frequency wave. Such wave is very different from the traditional tropical Rossby wave. It can propagate westward and eastward. Some behaviours of it appear to resemble the observed 30-60 day oscillation mode in many aspects, such,as vertical structures, zonal and meridional propagations. Now many researchers emphasize the direct relationship between CISK-Kelvin mode and the tropical atmospheric 30-60 oscil     

Diabatic heating and the low frequency dynamics in the tropics

Summary Using a General Circulation Model developed at FSU (FSUGCM), the role of the diabatic heating on the 30–60-day oscillation is investigated. To concentrate on the radiation and the moist convection processes, an aqua planet model is employed in this paper. We have obtained a 40-day oscillation with relatively lower frequency than other GCMs without strong heating in the lower troposphere. Unlike some GCMs and simple models, the convective area does not move eastward along with the oscillation. Adiabatic cooling due to the upward motion is mostly compensated by diabatic heating. This implies that Kelvin CISK theory might not explain our 40-day oscillation. We have also examined the impact of radiative heating on the low frequency oscillation. When we reduce the radiative cooling rate, our 40-day mode does not appear and a Kelvin CISK mode appears with a faster phase speed. The impact of the different convection schemes is also investigated. With an enhanced convection scheme, zonal wave number two with a 40-day period is generated.With 12 FiguresOn leave from Japan Meteorological Agency.     

Medium-range oscillations in the summer tropical easterlies at 200 hPa

By the use of space-time spectral analysis and band-pass filter, some of the features of the medium-range Oscillations in the summer tropical easterlies (10oS-20o) at 200 hPa are investigated based on a two-year (1980 and 1982) wind (u, v) data set for the period from May to September. Space-time power spectral analysis shows that the total energy of the westward moving waves was the largest and that of the standing waves and eastward moving waves was relatively small in the 200 hPa easterlies; the total energy of the eastward moving waves was at minimum at 10oN. Three kind of the medium-range oscillations with about 50 day, 25 day and quasi-biweekly periods were found in the easterlies, which all show a remarkable interannual variation and latitudinal differences in these two years. The wave energy of zonal wind is mainly associated with the planetary waves (1-3), which all may make important contributions to the 50 day and 25 day oscillations in different years or different latitudes. The quasi-biweekly oscillation is mainly related to the synoptic waves (4-6). In equatorial region, the 50 day oscillation was dominant with a eastward phase propagation in 1982 while the dominant oscillation in 1980 was of 25day period with a westward phase propagations in 1980. Both of them are of the mode of zonal wavenumber 1. Strong westward 50 day oscillation was found in 10oN-20oN in these two years. Regular propagations of the meridional wind 50 day oscillation were also found in the easterlies.The 50 day and 25 day oscillation of zonal wind all demonstrate southward phase propagation over the region of the South Asia monsoon and northward phase propagation near interational date line, where are the climatic mean position of the tropical upper-tropospheric easterly jet and the tropical upper tropospheric trough (TUTT), respectively.     

大气对外强迫低频遥响应的数值模拟 Ⅰ:对赤道东太平洋SSTA的响应

本文通过在IAP-GCM上实现的数值模拟,研究了大气对赤道东太平洋地区暖SSTA的响应,着重讨论了大气遥响应的性质和演变过程. 数值模拟清楚地表明,大气对异常外源的响应主要是一种具有30—60天周期的低频遥响应.分析不同地区和不同季节这种强迫响应的30—60天低频振荡的结构及活动,可以清楚看到它与大气中实际存在着的30—60天振荡极为相似.因此也可以认为,大气对海温异常的强迫遥响应是激发产生全球大气30—60天振荡的重要机制.     

VARIATIONS OF 30—60 DAY OSCILLATION IN ATMOSPHERE BEFORE AND DURING 1982 EL NINO*

By using the upper-wind data from July 1980 to June 1983,the variations of the low-frequency oscillation(LFO) in the atmosphere before and during 1982 El Nino have been investigated.Before the El Nino,the LFO propagates from west to east over the equator of the Eastern Hemisphere and from east to west over 20°N.The eastward propagating LFO over the equator consists of zonal wavenumber 1 propagating eastward and zonal wavenumber 2 with a character of stationary wave.The oscillation of zonal wavenumber 2 can modulate the oscillation strength.After the onset of the El Nino,the propagating directions of the LFO over the equator and 20°N of the Eastern Hemisphere change to be westward and eastward,respectively.The LFO over the western Pacific weakens rapidly and one coming from middle and high latitudes propagates to the equator.From the phase compositions of streamline fields for the zonal wavenumber 1 of equatorial westward propagatirg LFO,it is found that the atmospheric heat source in the equator of the eastern Pacific(EEP)excites a series of the equatorial cyclones and anticyclones which move northward and westward and form the westward propagating LFO over the equator.With the wavelength of 20000km,this kind of equatorial wave is similar to the mixing Rossby-gravity wave.In its westward and northward movement,the circulation in East Asia is modified.This may be the mechanism of the influence of El Nino on the climate of China.     

Interactions between the 30–60 day oscillation,the walker circulation and the convective activities in the tropical western pacific and their relations to the interannual oscillation

In this paper, interactions between the 30-60 day oscillation, the Walker circulation and the convective activities in the tropical western Pacific during the Northern Hemisphere summer are analyzed by using the observed data of wind fields and high-cloud amounts for the period from 1980 to 1989.The analyzed results show that the 30-60 day oscillation (hereafter called LFO) may be largely affected by the convective activities in the tropical western Pacific. The LFO in the tropical western Pacific during the strong convective activities around the Philippines stronger than those during the weak convective activities around the Philippines. Moreover, in the case of strong convective activities around the Philippines, the LFO in the tropical west-ern Pacific and tropical eastern Indian Ocean generally propagates westward, and it is intensified by the LFO with a westward propagating center of maximum oscillation from the east to 140oE. However, in the case of weak convective activities around the Philippines, the LFO gradually becomes stronger with a eastward propagating center of maximum oscillation from the eastern Indian Ocean to the tropical western Pacific.Corresponding to the 30-60 day oscillation, the Walker circulation is also in oscillation over the tropical Pacific and its circulation cell seems to shift gradually westward from the tropical western Pacific to the tropical eastern In-dian Ocean with strong convective activities around the Philippines. This may maintain the intensification of convective activities there. However, during the weak convective activities around the Philippines, the Walker circula-tion gradually moves eastward and an ascending flow may appear in the equatorial central Pacific. This may cause convective activities to be intensified over the equatorial central Pacific.The analyzed results also show that the LFO in the tropical western Pacific and East Asia may be associated with the interannual oscillation of the SST anomaly in the tropical western Pacific.     

热带东风急流的气候学和中期振荡

本文用13年夏半年(5—10月)月平均风场和两年逐日风场资料研究了200hPa南亚热带东风急流的气候学特征和中期振荡过程。研究表明,南亚夏季热带东风急流显著的非季节性变动和年际差异与低纬对流层高层大尺度环流变化和南亚夏季风活动密切相关,相对于多年平均而言,存在5类异常的东风急流。 各种分析表明,热带东风带存在三种主要的中期振荡。准50天周期振荡与夏季南亚对流层上部大尺度散度场的变化相关联,表现为十分显著的向南的位相传播。准50天和25天振荡均存在显著的年际变化。准50天周期振荡系统性不强的年份,准25天周期振荡是低纬行星波的主要振荡,在东风急流区除表现为系统性向西传播外也表现为向南的位相传播。准双周振荡在东风带一般向西传播。
