模式大气对于大尺度地形动力强迫作用的线性响应

本文利用一个包含了Newton冷却Rayleigh摩擦以及▽~4水平扩散等耗散作用的定常、斜压、线性初始方程三维谱模式,研究了中、高纬度理想化的大尺度地形以及北半球实际地形的动力强迫作用对于行星尺度的大气定常波的影响。计算结果证实了简化的β平面正压理论的定性结论。地形动力强迫作用所导致的大气定常波具有相当正压的垂直结构,其对应的扰动流场在中、高纬地区旋转(无辐散)分量占据主导地位,而辐散(无旋)分量则主要集中在低纬区域。北半球实际地形所强迫的大尺度扰动,主要表现为纬向波数为2的行星波,其中青藏高原的贡献具有头等重要的意义,相对而言,落基山和恪陵兰高原的贡献则是第二位的。     

北半球两大地形下游冬季环流的动力分析——Ⅱ.行星波的垂直传播

线性、定常、多层半球谱模式模拟结果表明,在东亚纬向气流下,青藏高原能在平流层激发出强大的1波扰动,脊槽分别位于太平洋和大西洋上空。在北美纬向气流下,落基山在平流层激发的1波很弱。观测资料计算指出,对流层行星1波很难通过北美对流层顶上传,但却能自由穿过东亚高纬度地区的对流层顶向平流层传播。北美地形所激发的波动在上传过程中均折向低纬传播。青藏高原所激发的行星1波和2波在上传过程中有分支:折向低纬的一支主要局限在对流层中;折向高纬的一支进入平流层。模拟和分析证明,这些差异是北半球两大地形不同的动力作用的结果。     

模式大气对于非绝热加热场的线性响应

本文利用一个包含了Newton冷却、Rayleigh摩擦以及▽~4型水平扩散等耗散作用的定常、斜压、线性初始方程三维谱模式,研究了热带和中纬度理想热源以及1979年1月北半球平均非绝热加热场对于冬季行星尺度的大气定常波的影响。数值试验结果表明,热力强迫作用的重要性可以与北半球大地形的动力强迫作用相比拟。利用1979年1月平均加热场作为强迫函数计算得到的强迫扰动,主要表现为纬向波数为2的行星波,并具有明显的斜压结构。热带地区纬向非均匀热源所激发的近似地沿大园路径传播的Rossby波列,对于热带区域与中、高纬大气之间的遥相关现象提供了一种可能的解释,同时,热带外区域的加热场对于整个半球范围内定常波的维持有着更显著的贡献。     

平流层大气对对流层大尺度热力强迫的线性、定常响应

本文采用一个关于大气定常波的16层线性化原始方程三维谱模式,研究了冬季平流层大气对于对流层各种定常大尺度热力强迫的响应。研究结果表明,对流层中的热力强迫作用对于冬季平流层中垂直向上传播的行星定常波的维持有显著的贡献,平流层中强迫扰动的水平结构及其与对流层中扰动的差异与加热场的垂直结构有密切的关系。相对于强度和空间结构相同的强迫源而言,中纬强迫对于平流层的作用比低纬强迫更为显著。     

关于西风急流在强迫扰动中作用的数值试验

本文利用非线性水波方程谱模式模拟了不同基本气流对低纬和中纬地区涡源扰动的强迫响应，进而讨论西风急流在大尺度流场强迫扰动中的作用。试验分析表明，中纬度西风急流对来自低纬的扰动波列有增哟的阻 阻滞的作用，并能影响强迫扰动的波数和路径。在存在西风急流的情况下，基本气流对低纬扰源的响应比对中纬扰源的响应要强得多。     

夏季西藏高原与落基山脉对北半球定常行星波形成的动力作用

本文应用一个包括Rayleigh摩擦、Newton冷却与水平涡旋热力扩散准地转34层球坐标模式来研究夏季西藏高原与落基山脉地形强迫对于夏季北半球定常行星波形成的作用. 计算结果表明:夏季北半球地形强迫所产生的定常行星波的振幅与位相分布与冬季的分布是很不一样的,夏季地形强迫所产生的定常行星波主要集中在亚热带的对流层,并且可以发现纬向波数k=1与k=2的振幅在高纬度存在着第二峰值.计算结果还表明了夏季西藏高原与落基山对于夏季定常行星波的形成起了重要作用.     

关于高原山地对大尺度过程的动力作用的研究

本文对高原山地所产生的大尺度动力过程问题作了综合评述,包括定常行星环流的纬向不对称性、地形强迫波的共振和多态平衡、非线性地形性不稳定、定常地形波能量的垂直传播、爬流和绕流以及背风坡的气旋生成等。     

地形对大气低频振荡影响的数值研究

使用五层全球谱模式研究地形对月、季尺度低频振荡的影响。该模式为三角形截断，截断波数为１０，并含有较为完善的物理过程参数化，对分别用有地形和无地形模式来模拟的低通滤波资料进行了分析和比较。结果表明，地形强迫产生的月、季尺度低频波列有明显的季节特征。北半球夏季由地形影响产生的热带热源是南北半球低频波列的源。模拟结果进一步指出北半球地形强迫产生的波列扰动可以引起赤道纬向流的异常，这种纬向流的瞬变强迫可以     

夏季西藏高原对北半球定常行星波形成的热力作用

本文应用一个包括Rayleigh摩擦、Newton冷却与水平涡旋热力扩散的准地转34层球坐标模式来研究西藏高原对夏季北半球定常行星波形成的热力作用. 计算结果表明夏季位于西藏高原上空的热源对于北半球夏季定常行星波形成的热力作用要比高原地形的动力作用大得多. 本文还计算了夏季北半球地形与热源强迫所产生的定常行星波与等高面上定常扰动系统的分布,其计算结果与由实际观测所得到的分布比较一致.     

地形对大尺度环流的影响

本文用一个能量和角动量守恒的全球正压谱模式定性地分析了地形对大尺度环流的影响。分别做了四大类型的试验，得出一些有益的结论。结果表明：地形能使越过它的气流在其驻地及其下游产生低值系统；地形引起的扰动有同时向极地和向下游传播的现象，而且也向赤道传播；当赤道有西风通道时，北半球的扰动会向南半球传播；中高纬的急流有阻挡扰动向高纬发展的作用，在急流轴以北扰动发生转向。同时表明：地形引起的扰动不仅与地形的形状、初始场有关，而且与地形所在的位置也有关，处在中高纬地形的作用远大于处在低纬的；中高纬的地形，尤其是青藏高原对低纬大气环流有明显的影响。     

北半球冬季环流异常与ENSO的非线性关系

运用非线性典型相关分析（nonlinear canonical correlation analysis,简称NLCCA）方法,对热带太平洋海表温度异常（SSTA）场与北半球冬季海平面气压异常场（SLPA）进行非线性分析,以反映ENSO与北半球冬季环流异常之间的非线性关系。NLCCA的结果表明：从极冷到极暖期,北半球冬季SLPA场对ENSO的投影在各主成分所分别构成的平面或空间中分别形成一条直线和一条抛物线,说明北半球冬季环流异常与ENSO的相关包含线性和具有二次特征的非线性两部分。无论ENSO的冷、暖事件都能导致冰岛低压减弱,且西伯利亚高压、北美高压和北太平洋高压随SSTA的变化不对称,进一步证明了ENSO对北半球冬季环流异常的非线性影响,其中冰岛低压对于ENSO响应的非线性特征最强,而阿留中低压与ENSO则主要是线性相关。     

北半球对流层厚度的时空变化特征

利用1948—2010年NCEP/NCAR逐月位势高度再分析资料、美国国家海洋局提供的1948—2010年逐月海温再分析资料,分别定义了1 000—500 hPa和500—200 hPa厚度,利用EOF、SVD等方法研究了北半球对流层厚度时空演变特征及其与大气环流和海面温度的关系。结果表明,冬季平均厚度EOF第一模态均具有北太平洋及附近高纬度亚洲大陆地区与北美大陆高纬地区反位相变化的特点,而夏季第一模态则是北半球范围内较一致的位相分布;冬、夏季平均厚度EOF第二模态均突出体现了欧亚大陆及附近地区与北半球其他地区反位相变化的特点;冬、夏季厚度场的变化形势与大气环流及海面温度具有密切联系。     

NUMERICAL STUDY OF TROPICS-EXTRATROPICS INTERACTION

A nonlinear steady-state baroclinic primitive-equation numerical model of atmospheric forced stationarywaves is used to investigate the tropics-extratropics interactions.Newtonian cooling,Rayleigh friction andbiharmonic horizontal diffusion are included in the model.The Eliassen-Palm (EP) cross-section and three-dimensional wave activity flux,which was derived by Plumb (1985) for linear quasi-geostrophic stationarywaves on a zonal flow,are used as diagnostics for the vertical and horizontal propagation of the waves.Results of the numerical experiments and diagnostics analyses suggest that the extratropical influenceon the tropical large-scale motion is important.The mid-latitude orographic forcing,especially of the Qing-hai-Xizang Plateau,and the extratropical thermal forcing make substantial contribution to the main-tenance of the cyclonic circulation over the eastern tropical and subtropical Pacific as well as the inversecirculation over the western Pacific in the upper troposphere.In addition,the longitudinal variation ofdiabatic heating in tropics has a significant influence on the wintertime stationary waves at higher latitudes.     

Sources of CAM3 temperature bias during northern winter from diagnostic study of the temperature bias equation

The Community Atmosphere Model version 3 (CAM3) temperature simulation bias is examined in this paper. We compare CAM3 output with European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) 40 year reanalysis (ERA-40) data. We formulate a time mean temperature bias equation then evaluate each term in the equation. Our focus is on the Northern Hemisphere winter time. We group the temperature equation terms into these categories: linear advection terms, nonlinear advection terms, transient eddy terms and diabatic heating, and find that linear advection and diabatic bias are the largest. The nonlinear terms (velocity bias advection of temperature bias) are much smaller than each of the other groups of terms at all levels except near the surface. Linear advection terms have dipolar pattern in the Atlantic (negative NW of positive) which reflects the shift of the CAM3 model North Atlantic storm track (NAST) into Europe, especially in the upper troposphere; opposite sign dipolar structure occurs over Alaska (positive) and the north Pacific storm track (negative). The transient advection terms in middle latitudes are larger in the upper troposphere and generally positive along the Atlantic storm track. Along the north Pacific storm track (NPST), the transient terms are negative in the mid and lower troposphere over much of the NPST (positive in upper troposphere). The diabatic heating bias has large values in the tropics along the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ICZ) and along the midlatitude storm tracks. During this time of year the ICZ is mainly in the Southern Hemisphere, but CAM3 emphasizes an ICZ-like heating in the northern hemisphere of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. CAM3 tends to have a weaker ICZ, especially in the Atlantic. In midlatitudes, we find large bias in heating by precipitation and vertically averaged net radiation over the NAST, Europe, and the Middle East.     

北半球准定常行星波气候平均态的资料分析和数值模拟

利用NCEP/NCAR再分析资料和大气环流模式(CCSR/NIES AGCM Ver 5.6),对北半球准定常行星波的气候平均态分布进行分析和模拟.再分析资料分析的结果表明:北半球冬季,准定常行星波沿两支波导向上传播,其中一支在对流层上层转向中低纬度传播,另外一支折向高纬度,通过极地波导上传到平流层.其中,1波和2波可以上传到平流层,因而其振幅分布除在中低纬的对流层上层出现一个次大值外,在高纬度平流层中上层会出现一个最大值,3波则主要限制在对流层,其振幅分布除在副热带对流层上层出现一个次大值外,最大值出现在中纬度对流层上层.北半球夏季,整个平流层为东风环流,极地波导不存在,行星波不能上传到平流层,在对流层活动也较弱,1波、2波、3波的传播情况大致相似,表现为在对流层上层由中纬度向赤道地区的传播.相应的振幅分布是,对1波和2波而言,最大值出现在中低纬对流层顶附近,同时在中高纬对流层上层出现一个次大值,而3波的振幅分布正好相反,最大值出现在中高纬对流层上层,次大值则在中低纬对流层顶附近.利用大气环流模式进行的数值模拟表明,模式可以比较好地模拟冬夏季准定常行星波的传播路径,但模拟的北半球冬季沿极地波导向平流层的传播明显偏弱,其结果是对1波、2波而言,高纬度平流层中上层的振幅最大值明显小于再分析资料的数值.文中还讨论了数值模拟与资料分析中行星波的差异可能对大气环流模拟的影响.     

中国东部夏季分区降水对海温异常响应特征的研究

用刘征宇最新发展的广义平衡反馈方法结合经验正交分析和旋转经验正交分析法,研究中国东部6个分区夏季降水异常对各海盆海温异常(SSTA)模态的响应特征,探讨了东北区降水异常对SSTA的响应机制。结果表明:各分区降水异常对SSTA的响应特征有明显差异。东北区降水异常对热带太平洋SSTA的回应显著,当SSTA表现为类似El Niño模时,该区夏季降水增加;江淮区降水异常同时受到中纬度以及热带SSTA的强迫,对热带太平洋SSTA的类似La Niña Modoki模、北大西洋SSTA三极型模等回应显著;西南地区的降水异常主要与中纬度SSTA有密切关联。对流层高度场对热带太平洋SSTA类似El Niño模的直接回应在热带太平洋上空为显著正异常。通过东亚—太平洋型遥相关波列使东北地区上空高度场出现负异常,并在其西侧形成负异常中心,对流层低层为气旋性环流异常。这一环流回应与东北地区夏季降水偏多时的环流特征相近。     

The Vertical Structures of Atmospheric Temperature Anomalies Associated with El Nio Simulated by the LASG/IAP AGCM： Sensitivity to Convection Schemes

The vertical structures of atmospheric temperature anomalies associated with El Nio are simulated with a spectrum atmospheric general circulation model developed by LASG/IAP (SAMIL). Sensitivity of the model’s response to convection scheme is discussed. Two convection schemes, i.e., the revised Zhang and Macfarlane (RZM) and Tiedtke (TDK) convection schemes, are employed in two sets of AMIP-type (Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project) SAMIL simulations, respectively. Despite some deficiencies in the up...     

ANALYSES OF THE DYNAMIC EFFECTS ON WINTER CIRCULATION OF THE TWO MAIN MOUNTAINS IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE--Ⅱ.VERTICAL PROPAGATION OF PLANETARY WAVES

A linear,hemispheric and stationary spectral model with multilayers in the vertical was employed to simulate the vertical propagation of waves triggered by mountains.Results show that,in cooperation with the East Asia zonal mean flow,Tibetan Plateau can excite a strong wavenumber 1 perturbation in the stratosphere with its ridge and trough located over the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans respectively.On the other hand,the stratospheric wavenumber 1 perturbation caused by the mechanical forcing of the Rocky Mountains in cooperation with the North America zonal mean flow is very weak.Calculations from observational data of the vertical profile of critical wavenumber for vertically propagating waves imply that the tropospheric wavenumber 1 perturbation can hardly penetrate the North America tropopause upwards,whereas it can freely propagate through the East Asia tropopause into the stratosphere.Two-dimensional E-Pcross-sections obtained from both observational data and simulated results also demonstrate that waves excited by the Rocky Mountains are refracted towards low latitudes in the troposphere during their upward propagation:whereas,in addition to the above mentioned equatorward leaning branch,the wavenumber 1 and 2 planetary waves excited by the Tibetan Plateau possess another branch which is refracted to high latitudes during upward propagation and penetrates the tropopause into the stratosphere.It is therefore concluded that the difference in the horizontal and vertical wave propagations in the two hemispheres is a result of the different dynamical forcing induced by the two main mountains in the Northern Hemisphere.

Comparison of NCAR community climate model (CCM) climates

The simulated mean January and July climates of four versions of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Community Climate Model (CCM) are compared. The models include standard configurations of CCM1 and CCM2, as well as two widely-cited research versions, the Global Environmental and Ecological Simulation of Interactive Systems (GENESIS) model and the Climate Sensitivity and Carbon Dioxide (CSC02) model. Each CCM version was integrated for 10 years with a horizontal spectral resolution of rhomboidal 15 (R15). Additionally, the standard T42 version of CCM2 was integrated for 20 years. Monthly mean, annually repeating climatological sea surface temperatures provided a lower boundary condition for each of the model simulations. The CCM troposphere is generally too cold, especially in the polar upper troposphere in the summer hemisphere. This is least severe in CCM2 and most pronounced in CCM1. CSC02 is an exception with a substantial warm bias, especially in the tropical upper troposphere. Corresponding biases are evident in atmospheric moisture. The overall superior CCM2 thermodynamic behavior is principally compromised by a large warm and moist bias over the Northern Hemisphere middle and high latitudes during summer. Differences between the simulated and observed stationary wave patterns reveal sizeable amplitude errors and phase shifts in all CCM versions. A common problem evident in the upper troposphere is an erroneous cyclone pair that straddles the equatorial central Pacific in January. The overall January stationary wave error pattern in CCM2 and CSCO2 is suggestive of a reverse Pacific-North American teleconnection pattern originating from the tropical central Pacific. During July, common regional biases include simulated North Pacific troughs that are stronger and shifted to the west of observations, and each model overestimates the strength of the anticyclone pair associated with the summer monsoon circulation over India. The simulated major convergence and divergence centers tend to be very localized in all CCM versions, with a tendency in each model for the maximum divergent centers to be unrelistically concentrated in monsoon regions and tied to regions of steep orography. Maxima in CCM-simulated precipitation correspond to the simulated outflow maxima and are generally larger than observational estimates, and the associated atmospheric latent heating appears to contribute to the stationary wave errors. Comparisons of simulated radiative quantities to satellite measurements reveal that the overall CCM2 radiative balance is better than in the other CCM versions. An error common to all models is that too much solar radiation is absorbed in the middle latitudes during summer.The National Center for Atmospheric Research is sponsored by the National Science Foundation
