地闪回击电磁场对架空线路耦合过电压的数值模拟

为了研究地闪回击通道周围的电磁场对架空线路的耦合过电压,首先采用指数衰减传输线型工程回击模式(MTLE)模拟分析了回击通道周围电磁场的分布特征,然后运用以Agrawal模型为基础的场—线耦合程序对架空线路感应过电压进行了数值计算,并将模拟计算结果与人工引雷实验结果进行比较,所得线路过电压的计算结果与实验数据基本相符。模拟结果表明,地闪回击电场的垂直分量和水平分量都应考虑到场—线耦合机制中;回击通道基电流波形的陡度同时影响到架空线路感应过电压的幅值和陡度,而电流幅值只影响感应过电压的幅值;当观测距离较近(50 m)时,架空线路上感应过电压幅值与电流回击速度呈反相关;随着观测距离的增加,架空线路上感应过电压波形上升沿时间增加、幅值减小;此外,架空线路感应过电压幅值随线路高度和接地电阻的增加而增大,与线路长度和直径的变化无关。     

基于人工触发闪电的开关型SPD性能试验

基于火箭人工引雷,对安装于低压架空配电线路上的开关型SPD进行性能试验。试验中发现,人工触发闪电的初始连续电流过程和回击过程在低压架空线路上感应出的正、负极性过电压在数值上相当,M过程感应出的正、负极性过电压在数值上差异较大,其中回击过程感应过电压幅值最大,均为10.23 kV。对应初始连续电流过程、回击过程和M过程,开关型SPD动作呈现出明显的点火、电弧、熄弧等过程,泄放雷电流的残压持续时间达毫秒量级。回击过程对应的SPD动作过程中存在明显的工频续流,M过程由于电流和能量都相对较小,工频续流过程不明显。雷击电磁脉冲在架空线路上耦合引起的过电流波的波前时间和波尾时间较实验室采用的8/20μs模拟雷电感应波的波前时间和波尾时间大很多倍,其对SPD的考验更残酷。     

基于ADTD系统的雷电流波头陡度频率分布特征

通过对ADTD闪电定位系统2006 2008年在重庆地区监测的729598次闪电进行统计,重点分析雷电流陡度的频率分布特征。结果表明:雷电流波头陡度及其频率随极性不同而差异较大,正闪陡度明显大于负闪陡度,而同陡度负闪频率却显著大于正闪;雷电流幅值与陡度相关系数为+0.613;采用电力行业标准DL/T620推荐波头时间反推得到的雷电流陡度和采用Ciger推荐公式计算得到的雷电流陡度的概率分布特征与统计特征差异较大。在此基础上分析了ADTD系统获取雷电流陡度资料的局限性,为合理选取雷电流陡度参数提供理论依据。     

基于传输线时域理论的同轴线中雷电波传播分析

针对雷电波在同轴线中传播特性的问题,通过对同轴线的暂态响应的理论分析,利用理论与试验相结合的方法,研究了同轴线对1.2/50 μs雷电波的暂态响应.结果表明:线终端负载上的信号由所传输信号的频率成分以及波导终端阻抗性质决定;1.2/50 μs雷电波信号频谱存在高于同轴线截止频率的成分,终端阻抗匹配情况下雷电波波头出现大量高次模成分;终端负载开路时,线终端信号的高次模是雷电波的入射波与反射波以及所激发的高次模之和;受雷电波频谱特征影响,雷电波激发出的高次模成分主要集中在波头部分;雷电波在线中传播的最终波形是各高次模分量之和,降低雷电波波头陡度可以减少高次模成分.在雷电过电压防护中应充分考虑到雷电波在线路中传播的畸变问题,这对于指导同轴线引入的过电压防护具有重要意义.     

2006—2011年广州人工触发闪电

2006—2011年夏季在广州野外雷电试验基地开展了广东综合闪电观测试验 (GCOELD)。试验期间,针对人工触发闪电进行了近距离声、光、电、磁特征等综合测量,对自动气象站电源线和信号线上产生的感应电压特征进行了观测和分析,并对广东省地闪定位网的探测效率和定位精度与人工触发闪电进行了比对和校验。试验结果表明:人工触发闪电回击峰值电流范围为-31.93~-6.67 kA,回击电流波形的半峰宽度的范围为6.18~74.19 μs,10%—90%的上升时间范围为0.24~2.25 μs。触发闪电的上行正先导的发展速度在104~105 m/s量级;人工触发闪电的回击过程在架空电源线路 (1200 m长,2 m高) 上产生的感应过电压可达十几千伏;广东电网闪电定位系统对人工触发闪电事件的探测效率为95%,平均定位误差为759 m,闪电定位系统反演得到的电流峰值与实际测量的电流峰值平均相对偏差为16.3%。

基于自然闪电下的限压型SPD残压特征分析

选取2017年6月15日和7月8日的2次人工引雷试验人工触发闪电数据,对采集系统记录了2次有明显残压波形的数据进行分析,结果表明:2次人工触发闪电的平均回击雷电流幅值为11.00kA,平均雷电流波形10%~90%的上升时间为0.24μs,平均雷电流的半峰宽度为10.98μs,平均雷电流的回击波形10%~90%的上升陡度38.20GA/s。2次人工触发闪电的平均残压持续时间为387.1μs,残压峰值平均值为969.4V,残压平均值为759.6V。自然闪电通常具有多回击、回击间隔时间短、放电过程复杂多样等特点,有可能破坏SPD热稳定性,加速老化,甚至可能被击穿;而该试验中SPD没有被损坏,主要是因为:人工触发闪电造成架空线路近距离发生闪电感应,尽管SPD的残压值高,但是电流比较小,所以SPD承受的能量不大。     

广州珠江新城地区高建筑物雷电回击磁场分析

对2011—2012年广州高建筑物雷电观测站获取到的雷电回击磁场波形数据进行统计分析,选取14个高建筑物的27次闪电过程(均为负极性地闪,含回击过程112次),其中44%的闪电个例为单次地闪过程。采用小波软阈值去噪法和基础噪声归零法进行数据预处理,分析发现:选取的回击磁场波形均呈现多峰现象,鉴于高建筑物反射峰的影响,本文只统计初始峰值;选取数据的1次闪电回击次数的算术平均值为4.2次,高度200m以下的闪电过程(14次)算术平均回击次数5.1次,高度200m以上的闪电过程(13次)算术平均回击次数3.2次;建筑物越高对磁场峰值的增强作用越显著,击中200m以上的建筑物上雷电首次回击和继后回击磁场峰值几何平均值分别是200m以下的2.2倍和1.5倍;建筑物高度对回击过程磁场波头上升时间影响不大;继后回击过程磁场波头时间远小于首次回击,与回击电场波形特征一致。

CHARACTERISTICS AND TRENDS OF CLIMATIC EXTREMES IN CHINA DURING 1959–2014

The spatial and temporal variations of daily maximum temperature(Tmax), daily minimum temperature(Tmin), daily maximum precipitation(Pmax) and daily maximum wind speed(WSmax) were examined in China using Mann-Kendall test and linear regression method. The results indicated that for China as a whole, Tmax, Tmin and Pmax had significant increasing trends at rates of 0.15℃ per decade, 0.45℃ per decade and 0.58 mm per decade,respectively, while WSmax had decreased significantly at 1.18 m·s~(-1) per decade during 1959—2014. In all regions of China, Tmin increased and WSmax decreased significantly. Spatially, Tmax increased significantly at most of the stations in South China(SC), northwestern North China(NC), northeastern Northeast China(NEC), eastern Northwest China(NWC) and eastern Southwest China(SWC), and the increasing trends were significant in NC, SC, NWC and SWC on the regional average. Tmin increased significantly at most of the stations in China, with notable increase in NEC, northern and southeastern NC and northwestern and eastern NWC. Pmax showed no significant trend at most of the stations in China, and on the regional average it decreased significantly in NC but increased in SC, NWC and the mid-lower Yangtze River valley(YR). WSmax decreased significantly at the vast majority of stations in China, with remarkable decrease in northern NC, northern and central YR, central and southern SC and in parts of central NEC and western NWC. With global climate change and rapidly economic development, China has become more vulnerable to climatic extremes and meteorological disasters, so more strategies of mitigation and/or adaptation of climatic extremes,such as environmentally-friendly and low-cost energy production systems and the enhancement of engineering defense measures are necessary for government and social publics.     

ANALYSIS OF “BIMODAL PATTERN” STORM ACTIVITY CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BAY OF BENGAL

Storms that occur at the Bay of Bengal (BoB) are of a bimodal pattern, which is different from that of the other sea areas. By using the NCEP, SST and JTWC data, the causes of the bimodal pattern storm activity of the BoB are diagnosed and analyzed in this paper. The result shows that the seasonal variation of general atmosphere circulation in East Asia has a regulating and controlling impact on the BoB storm activity, and the “bimodal period” of the storm activity corresponds exactly to the seasonal conversion period of atmospheric circulation. The minor wind speed of shear spring and autumn contributed to the storm, which was a crucial factor for the generation and occurrence of the “bimodal pattern” storm activity in the BoB. The analysis on sea surface temperature (SST) shows that the SSTs of all the year around in the BoB area meet the conditions required for the generation of tropical cyclones (TCs). However, the SSTs in the central area of the bay are higher than that of the surrounding areas in spring and autumn, which facilitates the occurrence of a “two-peak” storm activity pattern. The genesis potential index (GPI) quantifies and reflects the environmental conditions for the generation of the BoB storms. For GPI, the intense low-level vortex disturbance in the troposphere and high-humidity atmosphere are the sufficient conditions for storms, while large maximum wind velocity of the ground vortex radius and small vertical wind shear are the necessary conditions of storms.     

LOW-FREQUENCY CIRCULATION AND EXTENDED-RANGE FORECAST IN CONNECTION WITH AUTUMN EXTREME HEAVY RAINFALL PROCESS IN HAINAN

Observed daily precipitation data from the National Meteorological Observatory in Hainan province and daily data from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction/National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP/NCAR) reanalysis-2 dataset from 1981 to 2014 are used to analyze the relationship between Hainan extreme heavy rainfall processes in autumn (referred to as EHRPs) and 10–30 d low-frequency circulation. Based on the key low-frequency signals and the NCEP Climate Forecast System Version 2 (CFSv2) model forecasting products, a dynamical-statistical method is established for the extended-range forecast of EHRPs. The results suggest that EHRPs have a close relationship with the 10–30 d low-frequency oscillation of 850 hPa zonal wind over Hainan Island and to its north, and that they basically occur during the trough phase of the low-frequency oscillation of zonal wind. The latitudinal propagation of the low-frequency wave train in the middle-high latitudes and the meridional propagation of the low-frequency wave train along the coast of East Asia contribute to the ‘north high (cold), south low (warm)’ pattern near Hainan Island, which results in the zonal wind over Hainan Island and to its north reaching its trough, consequently leading to EHRPs. Considering the link between low-frequency circulation and EHRPs, a low-frequency wave train index (LWTI) is defined and adopted to forecast EHRPs by using NCEP CFSv2 forecasting products. EHRPs are predicted to occur during peak phases of LWTI with value larger than 1 for three or more consecutive forecast days. Hindcast experiments for EHRPs in 2015–2016 indicate that EHRPs can be predicted 8–24 d in advance, with an average period of validity of 16.7 d.     

AN ATTRIBUTION ANALYSIS OF CHANGES IN POTENTIAL EVAPOTRANSPIRATION IN THE BEIJING–TIANJIN–HEBEI REGION UNDER CLIMATE CHANGE

Based on the measurements obtained at 64 national meteorological stations in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei (BTH) region between 1970 and 2013, the potential evapotranspiration (ET0) in this region was estimated using the Penman–Monteith equation and its sensitivity to maximum temperature (Tmax), minimum temperature (Tmin), wind speed (Vw), net radiation (Rn) and water vapor pressure (Pwv) was analyzed, respectively. The results are shown as follows. (1) The climatic elements in the BTH region underwent significant changes in the study period. Vw and Rn decreased significantly, whereas Tmin, Tmax and Pwv increased considerably. (2) In the BTH region, ET0 also exhibited a significant decreasing trend, and the sensitivity of ET0 to the climatic elements exhibited seasonal characteristics. Of all the climatic elements, ET0 was most sensitive to Pwv in the fall and winter and Rn in the spring and summer. On the annual scale, ET0 was most sensitive to Pwv, followed by Rn, Vw, Tmax and Tmin. In addition, the sensitivity coefficient of ET0 with respect to Pwv had a negative value for all the areas, indicating that increases in Pwv can prevent ET0 from increasing. (3) The sensitivity of ET0 to Tmin and Tmax was significantly lower than its sensitivity to other climatic elements. However, increases in temperature can lead to changes in Pwv and Rn. The temperature should be considered the key intrinsic climatic element that has caused the "evaporation paradox" phenomenon in the BTH region.     

Could the Recent Taal Volcano Eruption Trigger an El Ni?o and Lead to Eurasian Warming?

正The Taal Volcano in Luzon is one of the most active and dangerous volcanoes of the Philippines. A recent eruption occurred on 12 January 2020(Fig. 1a), and this volcano is still active with the occurrence of volcanic earthquakes. The eruption has become a deep concern worldwide, not only for its damage on local society, but also for potential hazardous consequences on the Earth's climate and environment.     

Revisiting the Concentration Observations and Source Apportionment of Atmospheric Ammonia

正While China’s Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan on particulate matter since 2013 has reduced sulfate significantly, aerosol ammonium nitrate remains high in East China. As the high nitrate abundances are strongly linked with ammonia, reducing ammonia emissions is becoming increasingly important to improve the air quality of China. Although satellite data provide evidence of substantial increases in atmospheric ammonia concentrations over major agricultural regions, long-term surface observation of ammonia concentrations are sparse. In addition, there is still no consensus on     

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF VARIOUS DATA OF AIR–SEA TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE AND ITS VARIATION ACROSS SOUTH CHINA SEA IN THE PAST 35 YEARS

Using the International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set(ICOADS) and ERA-Interim data, spatial distributions of air-sea temperature difference(ASTD) in the South China Sea(SCS) for the past 35 years are compared,and variations of spatial and temporal distributions of ASTD in this region are addressed using empirical orthogonal function decomposition and wavelet analysis methods. The results indicate that both ICOADS and ERA-Interim data can reflect actual distribution characteristics of ASTD in the SCS, but values of ASTD from the ERA-Interim data are smaller than those of the ICOADS data in the same region. In addition, the ASTD characteristics from the ERA-Interim data are not obvious inshore. A seesaw-type, north-south distribution of ASTD is dominant in the SCS; i.e., a positive peak in the south is associated with a negative peak in the north in November, and a negative peak in the south is accompanied by a positive peak in the north during April and May. Interannual ASTD variations in summer or autumn are decreasing. There is a seesaw-type distribution of ASTD between Beibu Bay and most of the SCS in summer, and the center of large values is in the Nansha Islands area in autumn. The ASTD in the SCS has a strong quasi-3a oscillation period in all seasons, and a quasi-11 a period in winter and spring. The ASTD is positively correlated with the Nio3.4 index in summer and autumn but negatively correlated in spring and winter.
