超强台风Soudelor(2015)登陆前后局地强降水的动力过程分析

基于中尺度站点观测、雷达图像、卫星红外云图和NCEP全球业务分析数据资料,详细分析了2015年13号台风Soudelor在华东地区尤其在浙江省沿海产生局地灾害性强降水的分布、强度、触发因子及相应的动力过程.这次台风降水过程可分为4个阶段:第一阶段由台风北侧外围环流偏东风分量与浙江沿海地形相互作用而产生;第二阶段的降水强度最强,累积降水最大,是台风内区主体环流与局地地形相互作用的结果;第三阶段是由于台风内区减弱,主要降水云带在台风东北侧发展而形成;第四阶段由于台风环流与中纬度系统相互作用,使得降水云带"北跳"至江苏省中东部,引起浙江省内的降水迅速减弱.定量计算表明,"地形效应"对局地台风降水增幅起确定性作用,其在台风总体降水中占比达50%左右.台风登陆后结构变化引起水汽输送发生变化,进而引起台风局地降水云带发展的非对称分布,是造成台风强降水空间非对称分布的主要因子.对此个例分析表明,影响中国沿海灾害性强降水不仅与台风强度、结构及外围云带紧密相关,其降水强度会因为台风与沿海地形的复杂相互作用而增加,而其影响时间会因为由大尺度环流引导的弧线路径而延长.此次台风强降水过程的物理及动力分析可以用于指导对未来台风降水灾害的理解、预报及预防,尤其有益于由登陆台风与沿海地形相互作用引起的闪雨、山洪、泥石流及洪涝灾害的预报预警.     

登陆东南沿海热带气旋的异常特征及其成因研究

应用1949～2005年热带气旋（台风）年鉴资料，对西太平洋以及登陆我国东南沿海地区的热带气旋活动的特征进行了分析，发现西太平洋生成热带气旋个数和登陆我国热带气旋的个数有略为减少的趋势，而登陆我国热带气旋的强度有显著增强趋势.2005年西太平洋生成热带气旋数偏少，但其中登陆我国的强热带气旋比例却明显偏高.对导致这种异常现象的大尺度环流条件的分析表明，前期南亚高压和副热带高压势力偏强，台风期副高偏强、东亚夏季风偏弱、水平风垂直切变等因子不利于热带气旋生成；而西太平洋西部异常的水汽输送、弱风垂直切变、海表面温度异常以及中低纬系统之间相互作用等则可能是导致登陆我国热带气旋强度异常偏强的主要原因.

应用重力潮汐数据处理软件Tsoft对琼中台连续重力观测数据进行潮汐改正、零漂改正和气压改正,获取重力非潮汐变化数据;然后选取有代表性的4次台风——"纳莎"、"海燕"、"威马逊"和"海鸥",分析其登陆海南岛陆前后琼中台重力非潮汐值的变化,以研究热带气旋对琼中台重力非潮汐变化产生的影响及影响幅度。研究结果显示,热带气旋登陆海南岛陆前后,琼中台重力非潮汐变化值有所增大,其增大的幅度量级为10×10~(-8) m·s~(-2)左右,和风速、风力及台风中心与重力仪的距离相关。     

风垂直切变对中尺度地形对流降水影响的研究

针对长江中下游中尺度地形特点以及暴雨过程发生发展期间风垂直切变的主要观测特征,设计了一系列中尺度地形的三维理想数值试验,分析了干大气地形流和重力波特征,探讨了条件不稳定湿大气地形对流降水的模态分布,在此基础上研究了圆形、直线风垂直切变和切变厚度对中尺度地形对流降水强度和模态分布的影响.结果发现:在 F_r≈1的干大气条件下,气流遇到地形后分支、绕流和爬升现象同时存在,地形激发的重力波在水平和垂直方向上传播,其在迎风坡、背风坡、地形上游和下游的振幅不同,并组织出不同强度的垂直上升运动.在F_r > 1的条件不稳定湿大气下,地形对流降水主要存在三种模态,即迎风坡和背风坡准静止对流降水以及地形下游移动性对流降水,地形对流降水的形成与重力波在低层组织的上升运动密切相关.风垂直切变对地形对流降水的强度和模态分布有重要作用,其中圆形风垂直切变(风随高度旋转)不仅影响地形下游对流降水系统的移动方向,而且影响迎风坡和背风坡山脚处对流降水中心的分布和强度;直线风垂直切变(风随高度无旋转)主要影响地形对流降水的移动速度和强度.风随高度自下而上顺(逆)时针旋转,地形对流系统向下游传播时向右(左)偏移.风垂直切变主要通过影响地形重力波的结构和传播以及对流系统的形成、移动方向和速度,来影响地形对流降水的模态分布,其中对流层中低层的风垂直切变对地形对流降水强度和模态分布有重要影响.     

利用风云三号微波成像仪资料遥感“桑达”台风降雨云结构

本文利用搭载于我国风云三号B星上的微波成像仪(MWRI)观测亮温数据,结合戈达德廓线反演算法,对1102号"桑达"台风地面雨强和降雨云结构进行反演试验.利用AMSR-E业务降水产品对地面雨强反演结果进行了检验,结果表明,MWRI和AMSR-E反演的地面雨强在空间分布上非常吻合,相关性达76%,均方根误差约2.8 mm/h,二者的观测亮温及地面雨强反演结果具有较好的一致性.提取洋面台风雨区的平均水凝物廓线,其垂直结构显示,雨水和可降冰含量丰富,随高度变化明显,且具有明显峰值高度,云水和云冰含量则较少,且随高度变化不明显;当降水增强时,雨水和可降冰各层含量稳定增加,且峰值高度基本保持不变,云水和云冰含量则增幅不稳,且峰值高度有所改变.地面雨强随距台风中心距离的变化阐释了台风的螺旋结构及降水特点,距台风中心距离0.3°和0.6°附近分别出现了地面雨强峰值和次峰值,且66%的降水集中在距台风中心距离1°的空间范围内.MWRI提供的台风地面雨强和降雨云垂直信息具有较高的可信度,对于我们监测台风降水、分析台风降水结构的时空演变特征以及数值预报模式应用等具有重要的参考价值.     

中国东部夏季持续性降水日变化在淮河南北的差异分析

本文利用1961-2006年我国285站观测的逐时降水数据,分析了中国东部不同地区夏季平均降水日变化随降水持续时间的变化特征. 虽然整个东部地区都表现为短时降水峰值较一致地出现在下午17时左右,持续较长时间降水在清晨前后发生峰值降水,但持续性降水日变化的平均峰值时间以淮河为界存在显著南北差异. 北部地区的持续性降水峰值主要出现在02-06时前后;南部地区的持续性降水峰值时间出现在06-10时. 无论是降水强度或频次的日变化峰值的南北差异均较明显,但降水强度差异更为突出,且主要表现在持续性强降水中. 进一步分析发现：一方面北部地区持续性强降水开始时间较南部地区更早;另一方面,北部地区降水从开始到峰值经历的时间更短. 最后,对持续性强降水峰值时间南北差异的可能原因进行了初步讨论.     

双模态风垂直切变对台风结构和强度的作用分析

本文应用WRF(v 3.4)模式输出资料,揭示了风垂直切变(Vertical Wind Shear:VWS)在垂直方向上的波状变化特征,这种波状变化在台风不同发展时期又有不同形态,其中在持续强盛期呈双模态分布.应用VWS引起的次级垂直环流影响台风对流分布和强度变化的基本原理,用模式资料分析发现:对流层中层具有的VWS是整层VWS的主要部分,台风强度变化滞后VWS的形态突变6h左右;双模态波状变化的VWS产生的次级环流和台风垂直环流的配置不同使台风强对流带结构变得不对称及眼墙区对流强度在垂直分布上变得不均匀,随着持续强盛期涡旋运动的增强,强对流带分布又趋于对称.又根据VWS形成的垂直方向上涡度力分布不均匀引起台风内中尺度滚轴状对流带不稳定发展原理,分析表明:对流层中、低层的涡度力有利于对流不稳定增强,垂直速度的最大值与风垂直廓线的拐点在同一高度上,这与理论模型的结论一致.因此,VWS的波状变化分布特征不仅影响台风强对流带中尺度结构的改变,也对台风持续强盛具有重要作用;同时也是台风内滚轴状对流带不稳定的可能启动机制.

雨雪冰冻天气多普勒雷达产品特征

2008年1月下旬至2月上旬福建省西部北部出现了历史罕见的雨雪冰冻灾害。利用多普勒雷达反射率、回波顶高、径向速度、垂直风廓线等产品对此次雨雪冰冻天气进行特征分析,通过分析发现:①冰晶和雪的回波强度通常比连续性降水回波弱,在反射率图上,回波表现为边缘毛松,丝缕状纹理结构明显,边缘模糊不清,没有确定的边界;②回波顶高和零度层较低,因为垂直方向大气相对较稳定,不利于对流发展,降水粒子没有发展到高空;③在径向速度图上存在牛眼,说明在低空有急流存在。在低层有环形的零速度线,中高层的零速度线为倒"S"形,表明低层有风切变存在,中高层有冷平流;④风廓线图上高层为西南风,中层为西北风,低层为西南风,近地层为东北风。说明从近地层到高层为"冷-暖-冷-暖"的层结结构,有利于冻雨天气形成。     

台风"海鸥"激发地脉动源区的联合台阵定位研究

利用台风所激发的P波地脉动信号,地震学家近年来开始尝试通过地震学方法定位、监测台风.由于单台阵定位精度的局限性(主要取决于台站数目、孔径和结构等),本文提出了将台阵至源区的距离作为归一化权重因子、结合反卷积技术的双台阵联合定位方法,并利用中国喜马拉雅二期台阵(ChinArray II)和日本高灵敏度地震台网(Hi-net)的连续波形数据,对 2014年西北太平洋强台风"海鸥"所激发的 P波地脉动源区进行了定位测试.联合定位结果与理论模拟源区具有较好一致性:台风"海鸥"位于菲律宾海时,其激发海浪与台风"风神"遗留涌浪相互作用而激发的P波地脉动源区偏离"海鸥"移动轨迹;而当"海鸥"进入南海后,其激发的P波源区则紧随台风中心.与单台阵定位结果的对比分析表明,本文所提出的方法能够有效降低以下方面影响:(1)单台阵响应函数强旁瓣导致定位结果出现"伪影"、不聚焦;(2)台阵至源区距离小于～26°时,P波沿复杂浅地层传播时实际走时与基于理想地球模型的理论预测走时存在较大偏差导致近场定位误差增大;以及(3)上地幔三重震相的干扰等.因此,该方法有效提升了定位结果的聚焦性与稳定性,实现对"海鸥"激发P波地脉动源区的全程、稳定定位追踪,为发展基于地震学的台风监测新方法提供支持.     

Dynamics of local extreme rainfall of super Typhoon Soudelor (2015) in East China

The characteristics and dynamics associated with the distribution, intensity, and triggering factors of local severe precipitation in Zhejiang Province induced by Super Typhoon Soudelor (2015) were investigated using mesoscale surface observations, radar reflectivity, satellite nephograms, and the final (FNL) analyses of the Global Forecasting System (GFS) of the National Center for Environmental Prediction (NCEP). The rainfall processes during Soudelor’s landfall and translation over East China could be separated into four stages based on rainfall characteristics such as distribution, intensity, and corresponding dynamics. The relatively less precipitation in the first stage resulted from interaction between the easterly wind to the north flank of this tropical cyclone (TC) and the coastal topography along the southeast of Zhejiang Province, China. With landfall of the TC in East China during the second stage, precipitation maxima occurred because of interaction between the TC’s principal rainbands and the local topography from northeastern Fujian Province to southwestern Zhejiang Province. The distribution of precipitation presented significant asymmetric features in the third stage with maximal rainfall bands in the northeast quadrant of the TC when Soudelor’s track turned from westward to northward as the TC decayed rapidly. Finally, during the northward to northeastward translation of the TC in the fourth stage, the interaction between a mid-latitude weather system and the northern part of the TC resulted in transfer of the maximum rainfall from the north of Zhejiang Province to the north of Jiangsu Province, which represented the end of rainfall in Zhejiang Province. Further quantitative calculations of the rainfall rate induced by the interaction between local topography and TC circulation (defined as “orographic effects”) in the context of a one-dimensional simplified model showed that orographic effects were the primary factor determining the intensity of precipitation in this case, and accounted for over 50% of the total precipitation. The asymmetric distribution of the TC’s rainbands was closely related to the asymmetric distribution of moisture resulted from changes of the TC’s structure, and led to asymmetric distribution of local intense precipitation induced by Soudelor. Based on analysis of this TC, it could be concluded that local severe rainfall in the coastal regions of East China is closely related to changes of TC structure and intensity, as well as the outer rainbands. In addition, precipitation intensity and duration will increase correspondingly because of the complex interactions between the TC and local topography, and the particular TC track along large-scale steering flow. The results of this study may be useful for the understanding, prediction, and warning of disasters induced by local extreme rainfall caused by TCs, especially for facilitating forecasting and warning of flooding and mudslides associated with torrential rain caused by interactions between landfalling TCs and coastal topography.     

Characteristics of tropical cyclone-induced precipitation over the Korean River basins according to three evolution patterns of the Central-Pacific El Niño

This study carried out a comparative analysis of the changes in tropical cyclone (TC) genesis, TC track, and TC intensity focusing on TCs that affected the Korean peninsula (KP) according to three evolutionary patterns (prolonged, abrupt and symmetric-decay) of the abnormal sea surface temperature in the Central-Pacific (CP) region. As a result of the analysis, the activity pattern of TCs was found to vary depending on the evolution patterns of the CP El Niño, and such changes appeared to result in clear variations in the regional rainfall in Korea. In the prolonged-decaying and symmetric-decaying years, the KP received considerable TC rainfall. On the other hand, in abrupt-decaying years, it was subtly affected by the TC rainfall. Although rather limited conditions and relatively short observation data were used to analyze the effects of the evolution pattern of the CP El Niño on TCs, the results can be used to quantitatively identify the spatial features of TCs affecting the KP. These results are expected to be helpful in managing the disaster risks in vulnerable areas, including plans to secure stable water resources in the basin, and in establishing effective and active measures to cope with natural disasters by extreme events over the KP.     

Tropical cyclones and multiscale climate variability: The active western North Pacific Typhoon season of 2018

The 2018 typhoon season in the western North Pacific(WNP) was highly active, with 26 named tropical cyclones(TCs) from June to November, which exceeded the climatological mean(22) and was the second busiest season over the past twenty years. More TCs formed in the eastern region of the WNP and the northern region of the South China Sea(SCS). More TCs took the northeast quadrant in the WNP, recurving from northwestward to northward and causing heavy damages in China's Mainland(69.73 billion yuan) in 2018. Multiscale climate variability is conducive to an active season via an enhanced monsoon trough and a weakened subtropical high in the WNP. The large-scale backgrounds in 2018 showed a favorable environment for TCs established by a developing central Pacific(CP) El Ni?o and positive Pacific meridional mode(PMM)episode on interannual timescales. The tropical central Pacific(TCP) SST forcing exhibits primary control on TCs in the WNP and large-scale circulations, which are insensitive to the PMM. During CP El Ni?o years, anomalous convection associated with the TCP warming leads to significantly increased anomalous cyclonic circulation in the WNP because of a Gill-type Rossby wave response. As a result, the weakened subtropical high and enhanced monsoon trough shift eastward and northward, which favor TC genesis and development. Although such increased TC activity in 2018 might be slightly suppressed by interdecadal climate variability, it was mostly attributed to the favorable interannual background. In addition, high-frequency climate signals,such as intraseasonal oscillations(ISOs) and synoptic-scale disturbances(SSDs), interacted with the enhanced monsoon trough and strongly modulated regional TC genesis and development in 2018.

BCC_CSM1.1(m)模式对于夏季亚洲-太平洋涛动的模拟

亚洲-太平洋涛动是北半球夏季亚洲大陆和北太平洋副热带地区对流层中高层扰动温度场上大尺度的东西反相的遥相关现象,其异常变化与亚洲-太平洋地区夏季风气候有着密切的联系.基于欧洲中心的ERA-40再分析资料和国家气候中心BCC_CSM1.1（m）气候系统模式多年的数值模拟结果,本文主要评估了BCC_CSM1.1（m）模式对于夏季亚洲-太平洋涛动的空间分布、指数的时间演变及与其变化所对应的亚洲地区夏季环流异常等方面的模拟能力,结果表明：BCC_CSM1.1（m）模式能够较好地模拟出北半球夏季对流层中高层扰动温度在亚-太地区中纬度存在的西高东低"跷跷板"现象;模式能够模拟出夏季亚洲-太平洋涛动指数的年际变率,但是不能模拟出该指数在20世纪60-70年代明显下降的年代际趋势;模式还能较好地模拟出亚洲-太平洋涛动高低指数年亚洲-太平洋地区夏季环流的异常：指数偏高年份,南亚高压增强,高空西风急流带和热带东风急流均加强,索马里越赤道气流增强,南亚热带季风和东亚副热带季风均增强,东亚季风低压槽加强,西北太平洋副热带高压增强,南亚和东亚北部降水增加,菲律宾地区、中国长江流域-朝鲜半岛-日本一带地区降水减少,反之亦然.

Impact of assimilating Taiwan’s coastal radar radial velocity on forecasting Typhoon Morakot (2009) in southeastern China using a WRF-based EnKF

This study explores for the first time the impact of assimilating radial velocity (Vr) observations from a single or multiple Taiwan’s coastal radars on tropical cyclone (TC) forecasting after landfall in the Chinese mainland by using a Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF)-based ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) data assimilation system. Typhoon Morakot (2009), which caused widespread damage in the southeastern coastal regions of the mainland after devastating Taiwan, was chosen as a case study. The results showed that assimilating Taiwan’s radar Vr data improved environmental field and steering flow and produced a more realistic TC position and structure in the final EnKF cycling analysis. Thus, the subsequent TC track and rainfall forecasts in southeastern China were improved. In addition, better observations of the TC inner core by Taiwan’s radar was a primary factor in improving TC rainfall forecast in the Chinese mainland.
