南海夏季风爆发早晚的经向环流异常的机理研究

南海夏季风爆发与东亚地区的局地经向环流密切相关.本文利用线性局地经向环流诊断模式,定量诊断分析了1979~2003年5月1~15日的局地经向环流及其在夏季风爆发早晚年的差异,分析找出了在该关键时段对经向环流异常有正贡献的主要因子,从而确立影响季风爆发的相应天气过程及贡献机制.结果表明,在季风爆发早年期间,局地经向环流异常呈现为"Hadley环流"形态:上升运动(下沉运动)影响南海中北部(江淮地区),低空非地转南风(北风)影响南海中南部(华南和江南地区).季风爆发晚年的情况则与季风爆发早年相反.对造成经向环流异常的各个因子进行定量分析发现,经向分布不均匀的潜热加热的贡献作用最大,其次是温度平流和西风动量输送过程,与越赤道气流有关的边界效应则对南海中南部的低空南风有一定贡献.相应的天气学分析表明,季风爆发偏早年的副热带高空急流强度偏强且位置偏南,其动量输送过程导致对流层上层出现非地转南风、急流轴南侧(北侧)的华南(华北)地区出现高空辐散(辐合)和低层辐合上升(辐散下沉).与此同时,中纬度西风带扰动的南下和副热带高压脊从南海地区的撤出,中低层温度平流导致华中地区冷却和南海中北部增暖,进一步加强低纬地区上升、中纬地区下沉的经向环流异常.华南地区异常的非地转北风与南海中南部异常的非地转南风,显著加强了南海中北部的低空水汽辐合和对流潜热释放,从而激发出强烈上升运动.由此可见,中低纬天气系统配置能有效调节中国东部及南海地区的潜热加热和冷暖平流的南北分布,从而引起与季风爆发对应的局地经向环流的显著变化.     

2007年6月粤东持续性暴雨的成因分析

为了探讨2007年6月7-10日广东东部和珠江三角洲地区持续性暴雨的成因,使用常规气象观测资料、自动站资料以及NCEP的1°×1°的分析资料对这次过程环流特征和影响系统进行分析,同时使用局地经向环流线性诊断模式对这次过程进行模拟诊断.结果表明:这次粤东暴雨过程是在我国中高纬度稳定的两槽一脊的环流形势下,先后受东槽引导从华东沿海南下冷空气和受从西南地区不断东南移短波槽和低涡引导南下的冷空气影响,在华南北部形成稳定的锋面低槽和低空切变线,有利于水汽的辐合和雨带维持;孟加拉湾的西南急流和副高西侧南海西南气流是两支主要水汽输送带;此次暴雨与暴雨区上空中低层正(负)、高层负(正)的垂直螺旋度(散度)变化密切相关.中高纬度和低纬度系统共同影响以及暴雨区高层和低层动力热力条件配合,使得局地经向环流异常,造成了此次持续性强降水.定量诊断结果表明,在各个动力和热力因子中,潜热加热作用对这次暴雨过程贡献最大,此外反映西风急流和斜压槽活动的西风动量平流以及反映北方弱冷空气作用的水平温度平流也有一定的作用.     

基于海温异常的南海夏季风爆发的可预报性分析

定义了综合评估南海地区大气对海温异常等外强迫响应的指数,并以此作为中间变量提出了利用前期海温异常预报南海夏季风爆发早晚的方法,进一步分析了基于海温异常的南海夏季风爆发的可预报性。分析表明:基于前期海温的异常,对于以日为单位预报对象的定量的南海夏季风爆发日期来说,基本没有可预报性;而对于定性的南海夏季风爆发早晚的预测,则可预报性大为提高。其预报时效可以提前至前期秋季的11月份。     

Seasonal surface ocean circulation and dynamics in the Philippine Archipelago region during 2004–2008

The dynamics of the seasonal surface circulation in the Philippine Archipelago (117°E–128°E, 0°N–14°N) are investigated using a high-resolution configuration of the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) for the period of January 2004–March 2008. Three experiments were performed to estimate the relative importance of local, remote and tidal forcing. On the annual mean, the circulation in the Sulu Sea shows inflow from the South China Sea at the Mindoro and Balabac Straits, outflow into the Sulawesi Sea at the Sibutu Passage, and cyclonic circulation in the southern basin. A strong jet with a maximum speed exceeding 100 cm s⁻¹ forms in the northeast Sulu Sea where currents from the Mindoro and Tablas Straits converge. Within the Archipelago, strong westward currents in the Bohol Sea carry the surface water of the western Pacific (WP) from the Surigao Strait into the Sulu Sea via the Dipolog Strait. In the Sibuyan Sea, currents flow westward, which carry the surface water from the WP near the San Bernardino Strait into the Sulu Sea via the Tablas Strait.These surface currents exhibit strong variations or reversals from winter to summer. The cyclonic (anticyclonic) circulation during winter (summer) in the Sulu Sea and seasonally reversing currents within the Archipelago region during the peak of the winter (summer) monsoon result mainly from local wind forcing, while remote forcing dominates the current variations at the Mindoro Strait, western Sulu Sea and Sibutu passage before the monsoons reach their peaks. The temporal variations (with the mean removed), also referred to as anomalies, of volume transports in the upper 40 m at eight major Straits are caused predominantly by remote forcing, although local forcing can be large during sometime of a year. For example, at the Mindoro Strait, the correlation between the time series of transport anomalies due to total forcing (local, remote and tides) and that due only to the remote forcing is 0.81 above 95% significance, comparing to the correlation of 0.64 between the total and local forcing. Similarly, at the Sibutu Passage, the correlation is 0.96 for total versus remote effects, comparing to 0.53 for total versus local forcing. The standard deviations of transports from the total, remote and local effects are 0.59 Sv, 0.50 Sv, and 0.36 Sv, respectively, at the Mindoro Strait; and 1.21 Sv, 1.13 Sv, and 0.59 Sv at the Sibutu Passage. Nonlinear rectification of tides reduces the mean westward transports at the Surigao, San Bernardino and Dipolog Straits, and it also has non-negligible influence on the seasonal circulation in the Sulu Sea.     

QuikSCAT卫星散射计矢量风检验及南海月平均风场特征分析

采用中国科学院南海海洋研究所2008年建设的,西沙海洋观测研究站上的自动气象站实测数据,对亚太数据研究中心提供的近实时QuikSCAT卫星遥感风场资料(2008年4月6日—12月31日)进行了检验和统计特征分析,得出:这两者风速的相关系数为0.86,平均偏差为-1.50 m/s,均方根误差为1.71 m/s,表明QuikSCAT卫星遥感风场资料在南海具有很高的适用性。在此基础上,利用QuikSCAT卫星遥感的月平均风场资料分析了南海月平均风场特征。结果表明:(1)南海季风10月到次年3月盛行东北风,6—8月盛行西南风,4、5、9月为季风转换季节;(2)存在两个平均风速大值中心,一个位于南海南部(10°N,108°E)附近,另一个位于台湾海峡附近,其位置和强度会随着季节变化而变动。     

The role of diabatic heating, torques and stabilities in forcing the radial-vertical circulation within cyclones part ii: case study of extratropical and tropical cyclones

Utilizing Eliassen’s concepts, the forcing of the isentropic azimuthally-averaged mass-weighted radial-vertical circulation by diabatic heating and torques within an extratropical cyclone and a typhoon was studied through nu-merical simulations based on the linear diagnostic equation derived previously. The structure of the forcing associated with diabatic heating and torques was determined from quasi-Lagrangian diagnostic analyses of actual case studies. The two cyclones studied were the Ohio extratropical cyclone of 25-27 January 1978 and typhoon Nancy of 18-23 September 1979. The Ohio cyclone, which formed over the Gulf Coast and moved through Ohio and eastern Michigan, was one of the most intense storms with blizzard conditions to ever occur in this region. Typhoon Nancy which occurred over the South China Sea during the FGGE year was selected since relatively high quality assimilated data were available. Within the Ohio cyclone, the dominant internal processes forcing the mean circulation with em-bedded relatively strong hydrodynamic stability were the pressure torque associated with baroclinic (asymmetric) structure and the horizontal eddy angular momentum transport associated with the typical S-shaped thermal and wind structures of self-development. Within typhoon Nancy, the dominant internal process forcing the mean circula-tion with embedded weak hydrodynamic stability was the latent heat release. This analysis shows that the simulated azimuthally-averaged mass-weighted radial motions within these two cy?clones agree quite well with the “observed” azimuthally-averaged mass-weighted radial motions. This isentropic nu?merical study also provides insight into the relatively important internal forcing processes and the trade off between forcing and stability within both extratropical and tropical cyclones.     

Climate-driven chlorophyll-a concentration interannual variability in the South China Sea

Physical forcing and biological response are highly variable over a wide range of scales in the South China Sea. The present paper analyzed interannual variability of the surface chlorophyll-a concentration of the South China Sea using NASA standard SeaWiFS monthly products from 1997 to 2007. Time series of monthly data were first smoothed using a 12-month running mean filter. An empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis was performed to evaluate the interannual variability. The first EOF mode is characterized by a higher surface chlorophyll-a concentration in the deep basin of the South China Sea with a maximum value southwest of Luzon Strait. The corresponding time coefficient function is highly correlated with the multivariate ENSO index (MEI). The correlation coefficient is ?0.61 when the time coefficient function lags the MEI by 9?months. The second EOF mode is characterized by a northwest lower chlorophyll-a concentration. The corresponding time coefficient function correlates with the MEI at a correlation coefficient equal to 0.88, with a lag of 1?month. The third EOF mode shows the interannual variability of the chlorophyll-a concentration has some relationship with Indian Ocean dipole mode as well. The link between the climate and ocean biological states in the South China Sea is due to changes in upper-ocean temperature and wind field, which influence the availability of nutrients for phytoplankton growth.     

热力强迫对澳洲北部越赤道气流强弱变化的影响

采用1980-2004年NCEP／NCAR再分析资料,从影响越赤道气流的大气内、外强迫因子（主要指大气凝结潜热释放及下垫面热力差异）出发,结合诊断分析和数值试验,探讨了强迫因子对澳洲北部由南向北越赤道气流强弱变化的影响。结果表明,冷澳洲大陆有利于强澳高或频繁冷空气活动的形成,通道南部弱下垫面加热有利于弱Walker环流的形成,南海一中南半岛较强海陆热力差异或菲律宾强对流加热有利于通道北部强辐合带的形成,它们都对应澳洲北部由南向北强越赤道气流的形成。弱越赤道气流对应的强迫因子及环流因子的特征则与上述情况相反。

亚洲南部的海陆分布对亚洲夏季风形成的作用

本文用数值试验方法，研究南亚印度次大陆及印度支那半岛与周围海洋间的海陆分布在亚洲夏季风环流形成过程中的作用。试验表明，不仅亚洲大陆与周围大洋的海陆分布影响夏季亚洲季风的形成，亚洲南部较小尺度的海陆分布也同样影响季风的形成过程；阿拉伯海、孟加拉湾和南海上空季风的强风中心及相应的越赤道气流可由亚洲南部较小尺度的海陆分布引起。     

Extended Impact of Cold Air Invasions in East Asia in Response to a Warm South China Sea and Philippine Sea

During boreal winter, the invasion of cold air can lead to remarkable temperature drops in East Asia which can result in serious socioeconomic impacts. Here, we find that the intensity of strong synoptic cold days in the East China Sea and Indochina Peninsula are increasing. The enhanced synoptic cold days in these two regions are attributed to surface warming over the South China Sea and Philippine Sea(SCSPS). The oceanic forcing of the SCSPS on the synoptic cold days in the two regions is veri...     

西北太平洋海域风浪、涌浪、混合浪波浪能资源特征

用ECMWF的ERA-40海浪再分析资料,应用波浪能流密度计算方法,对西北太平洋海域的风浪能、涌浪能、混合浪能展开研究。结果表明:(1)波浪能流密度呈现出显著季节性差异。混合浪能流密度表现为冬高夏低;春、夏、秋季的涌浪能流密度明显大于风浪能流密度,冬季相反;(2)混合浪能流密度的大值区主要分布于阿留申群岛附近海域,高值中心可达60 kW/m以上;近海的大值区主要分布于琉球群岛—巴士海峡—传统的南海大风区一带,年平均值在4 kW/m以上,南海北部可达12 kW/m以上;(3)黄渤海的涌浪和混合浪能流密度峰值出现在8—9月,波谷出现在6月。风浪能流密度峰值出现在11月—次年3月,波谷出现在6—8月,均呈现双峰型月变化特征。东海、南海北部、南海中南部海域能流密度的月变化特征相似,都为双峰型,12月—次年4月的能流密度整体较高,波峰出现在12月,波谷出现在5—7月;(4)2 kW/m以上混合浪能流密度出现的频率较高,近海低于大洋;(5)0.5 m以上有效波高出现的频率都非常高,中国近海稍低于大洋;(6)涌浪能流密度的稳定性明显好于风浪能流密度;大洋的能流密度稳定性明显强于近岸。1月份能流密度的稳定性最好,4月和7月次之,10月的稳定性最差。     

Persistent Heavy Rainfall over South China During May-August：Subseasonal Anomalies of Circulation and Sea Surface Temperature

This study investigates the relationship between subseasonal variations of the circulation and sea surface temperature（SST） over the South China–East Asian coastal region（EACR） in association with the persistent heavy rainfall（PHR） events over South China during May–August through statistical analysis. Based on the intensity threshold and duration criterion of the daily rainfall, a total of 63 May–June（MJ） and 59July–August（JA） PHR events are selected over South China from 1979 to 2011. The lower-level circulation anomalies on subseasonal timescale exhibit an anomalous cyclone over South China and an anomalous anticyclone shaped like a tongue over the South China Sea（SCS） during the PHR events for MJ group.The anomalous cyclone over South China in MJ originates from low-value systems in the mid-high latitudes before the rainfall. The anomalous anticyclone over the SCS is due to the westward extension of the western Pacific subtropical high（WPSH） and the southeastward propagation of the anomalous anticyclone from South China before the rainfall. For JA group, the lower-level anomalous circulation pattern is similar to that for MJ over the South China–EACR, but with di？erent features of propagation. The subseasonal anomalous anticyclone is also related to the westward stretch of the WPSH, while the anomalous cyclone is traced back to the weak anomalous cyclone over the Philippine Sea several days before the rainfall events.Positive SST anomaly（SSTA） is observed over the SCS and the Philippine Sea during the MJ PHR events on the subseasonal timescale. It is closely linked with the variation of local anomalous anticyclone. In contrast, negative SSTA occupies the South China coastal region for the JA PHR events, and it is driven by the anomalous cyclone which propagates northwestward from the Philippine Sea. The subseasonal positive（negative） SSTAs are generated via the local processes of above（below）-normal incident solar radiation and below（above）-normal latent heat fluxes. The possible role of the subseasonal SSTA in the local convective instability is also analyzed in this study.     

我国东南海域云出现概率和海表温度的关系分析

海表温度(SST)和云是表征海洋和大气状况的主要物理量。为了掌握我国东南海域两者间的某些特征,综合使用CloudSat卫星观测和SODA3.3.1中的SST资料,分别就垂直方向上的云出现概率(FOC)和SST的变化关系进行了基本的统计分析。结果表明,尽管两海域FOC随高度分布均是SST相对低时,低层大高层小;随着SST增暖逐渐是高层大于低层的。但分布强度及其与SST的变化范围划分有所不同。相比而言,南海海域低层FOC高度相对低,变化幅度也相对大。特别是在SST＞30.5 ℃时,台湾以东海域FOC是减弱的,而南海的则是维持或增强。研究结果不仅有助于直观掌握两海域FOC和SST间的变化关系,而且定量化揭示局地海气相互作用中SST与云的对应关系。      

1999年东亚夏季风异常活动的物理机制研究

文中从海-气相互作用的角度探讨了1999年东亚夏季风及与其相联系的雨带异常活动的物理机制。结果表明,由于1998年春季至1999年南海-热带西太平洋出现了近20 a最强的异常暧海温,该地强异常海-气相互作用的维持使得这种局地的热力强迫成为1999年东亚夏季风和降水异常的最主要外强迫机制,并使得1999年的季风活动和降水分布有别于一般的统计情形。从1998年秋到1999年,由于热带大气对南海-西太平洋暧海温所诱发的局地强加热的响应,热带西太平洋地区所出现的Gill模态的异常环流分布从冬季一直发展到夏季,并因此在海洋和大气之间形成了局地的强烈正反馈,不仅使得异常环流得以持续发展,而且也使得暖海温得以维持,成为影响1999年环流异常的最强前期信号。随着从冬到夏的季节演变,大气基本态对上述持续性异常环流的影响导致了冬、夏异常环流呈现出不同的纬向非对称,诱发了盛夏期间东亚到北美沿岸的遥相关波列。在东亚沿岸异常气旋性环流的影响下,大尺度异常东风在东亚沿岸的维持形成了极不利于季风西风在南海北部转向的条件,导致了季风在中国东部北进的异常偏弱和低纬西风转向位置的异常偏东。     

ENSO与亚洲中低纬若干海气因子的遥相关及与华南降水的关系

本文在统计近一百年左右华南八站降水与ENSO关系基础上,分别探讨了春末夏初亚洲中纬冷空气活动,南海高压及副高脊、盂加拉湾北部低系统和中南半岛季风与ENSO的遥相关,以及它们对华南3—6月降水的影响;台风活动,南海SST与ENSO遥相关及其对华南7—11月降水的影响。指出,El Nino年春夏东亚中纬冷空气活动偏弱,南海高度场偏低,孟加拉湾北部低系统和中南半岛西南季风较活跃。使El Nino年3—6月华南内陆降水偏少而沿海偏多。在ElNino年,南海SSTA有一个由负转正的过程,它使华南沿海在秋台偏少情况下,秋冬有时还有较大的降水甚至带来洪涝。      

南海周边海域越洋航线晴空颠簸的数值预报研究

采用WRF v3模式, 利用AMDAR资料与NCEP再分析资料, 对2007年发生于南海周边海域的高空越洋航线上, 110个中度以上晴空颠簸事例与196个无颠簸事例进行数值模拟。选取布朗指数、水平风切变指数等6个晴空颠簸诊断指数, 通过计算各指数的有颠簸诊断准确率、无颠簸诊断准确率、TS评分、ETS评分等指标, 研究指数及其阈值的适用性。研究表明:(1)布朗指数是诊断南海周边海域越洋航线上的晴空颠簸的最佳指数, 并在取"3.2×10^-5"为阈值时诊断效果最佳。(2)南海周边海域的越洋航线上的晴空颠簸对于诊断指数阈值的选取十分敏感, 在晴空颠簸的数值预报中, 在合理选择指数的基础之上, 应当认真研究设定指数的阈值。     

我国华南3月份降水异常的可能影响因子分析

利用1951～2005年华南地区3月份的降水资料、NOAA海温资料、Ni?o3.4指数和NCEP再分析资料,分析了华南3月份降水异常与同期环流场、全球海温场的关系,从环流和海温的角度揭示了华南3月份降水异常的可能原因。结果表明,当华南3月份降水偏多(少)时,在对流层中低层,北太平洋海区存在气旋(反气旋)性环流异常,西太平洋及南海海面上存在反气旋(气旋)性环流异常,这样的环流异常有利(不利)于东南暖湿气流与北方东部异常冷空气在华南地区形成水汽辐合,导致降水显著增多(减少)。进一步的分析表明,ENSO和北印度洋及南海附近海温是影响华南3月份降水异常的重要外强迫因子,ENSO对华南3月降水异常的影响是通过影响春季西太平洋副热带高压和低层风场异常实现的,而北印度洋及南海附近海温对华南3月降水异常的影响则是通过垂直环流场异常和低层风场以及西太平洋副热带高压异常来实现的。
