陕西ECMWF、GRAPES_Meso和SCMOC气温预报的对比检验及订正

利用陕西99个国家气象站2017—2019年日最高(低)气温观测资料,采用一元线性回归和递减平均方法,对GRAPES_Meso、ECMWF和SCMOC的日最高(低)气温预报进行订正,并作对比检验。结果表明,SCMOC、GRAPES_Meso和ECMWF的日最低气温预报准确率较日最高气温偏高,其中SCMOC的日最高和最低气温预报准确率最高,ECMWF次之,GRAPES_Meso最低。一元线性回归和递减平均方法对SCMOC的气温预报订正多为负效果,但对GRAPES_Meso和ECMWF的气温预报订正有明显正效果。订正后ECMWF与订正前SCMOC的预报相比,前者日最高和最低气温的预报准确率偏高。订正后GRAPES_Meso与订正前SCMOC的预报相比,前者日最低气温预报准确率偏低、2018年24 h和2019年24、48 h日最高气温预报准确率偏高。一元线性回归法对模式气温预报的订正能力和稳定性优于递减平均法。     

一个简单的格点温度预报订正方法

格点气象要素预报是中国气象局目前的主推业务和未来天气预报的发展方向。本文基于欧洲中期数值预报中心ECMWF高分辨率模式2 m温度预报资料,在传统中央气象台站点温度指导预报SCMOC和回归方法建立的站点温度预报的基础上,提出"站点订正值向格点传递"的方法来订正格点温度预报。结果表明:(1)SCMOC站点最高、最低温度24~168 h预报误差2℃准确率分别平均高于ECMWF的10.0%和23.1%,ECMWF存在较大的系统性偏差,最低温度预报偏高,最高温度预报偏低。(2)"站点订正值向格点传递"方法能够订正模式格点温度预报的系统误差,且整体上不改变原ECMWF温度预报场的空间形态和原模式对地形的刻画特征。(3)利用研究区域内98个县级站SCMOC温度预报,订正ECMWF格点场,返回到区域内1289个乡镇站进行检验,结果24 h最低、最高温度1℃的准确率较ECMWF分别提高22.8%和11.9%,2℃的准确率则分别提高29.7%和17.4%。最低(高)温度绝对误差平均减小0.99℃(0.69℃),平均误差(ME)下降到0.7℃(-0.9℃)以内。(4)通过一元线性回归,得到98个县级站的温度预报,返回差值场来订正格点场,也能较好地订正ECMWF的系统性误差。对比两种方法,SCMOC差值传递在最低温度订正方面有较大的优势,而回归方法的最高温度订正效果较好。此外,回归方法能够较好地改善逐时温度预报效果。该方法已成功运用于陕西省精细化格点预报业务系统中。     

基于格点的中国东北中北部2 m温度数值预报检验及偏差订正

基于中国气象局陆面数据同化系统(CLDAS-V2. 0)实时产品数据集中2 m气温数据对ECMWF高分辨率数值模式2 m气温预报产品在中国东北中北部的预报能力进行初步检验并利用递减平均法对系统性偏差进行订正。结果表明,气温平均预报准确率与海拔高度呈显著负相关,山区预报准确率偏低,系统性偏差较大。气温预报偏差还表现为明显的日变化特征,在夜间表现为预报较实况显著系统性偏高,白天系统性偏差不明显。冬季夜间气温,特别是最低气温系统性偏高的特征变得更加明显。递减平均法对系统性偏差的订正效果好,订正后,东北中北部地区冬季夜间气温及最低气温预报能力有大幅度提高。另外,递减平均法对东北中北部山区3、4及9月以外其他月份夜间气温及最低气温,对冬季白天气温及最高气温有显著的订正能力。

基于多模式集成冬半年气温预报偏差修正

卡尔曼滤波递减平均方法对模式直接输出的气温预报进行订正,能有效提高预报准确率,但有时会造成显著负订正的现象,使订正预报效果反而不及模式直接输出。利用消除偏差集合平均方法(BREM)选择最优滑动训练期对2019年10月至2020年4月ECMWF预报(EC)、经过卡尔曼滤波递减平均法订正的预报(EC_COR)及中央台网格指导预报(SCMOC)等3种气温预报在黑龙江省的结果进行集成,并将BREM方法对EC_COR的修正效果进行评估,结果表明:不同预报结果都表现为冬季和夜间预报的准确率更低,气温偏低的11月至翌年1月更倾向于表现出预报较实况系统性偏高的特点。BREM方法能有效地修正EC_COR对EC负订正的现象,且可显著高于任何一种参与集成的单一预报效果。可在对单一模式进行卡尔曼滤波递减平均订正的基础上,进一步提升预报质量。另外,利用集成方法对高质量预报产品的融合(不局限于模式直接输出预报或是订正预报)可获取较单一预报更优的预报结果。

利用递减平均法对2012—2013年陕西区域99站共731 d的SCMOC温度精细化指导预报进行误差订正,订正结果表明:该订正方法总体表现为正的订正效果,对08:00和20:00起报的定时温度、日最高温度以及08:00起报的日最低温度有明显的订正能力,在准确率偏低的预报时效内订正效果较好;对于48 h内逐3 h定时温度预报,在夜间的准确率高于白天,对应的"递减平均法"在白天的订正能力高于夜间;对于168 h内日最高(低)温度预报,随着预报时效的增加准确率降低,但是"递减平均法"的误差订正能力增强;"递减平均法"对48 h内逐3 h定时温度和24 h内日最低温度的订正能力在准确率偏低的月份偏强。     

基于数值模式误差分析的气温预报方法

采用欧洲中期天气预报中心(ECMWF)全球确定性预报模式地面气温和国家地面站点观测资料,对模式初值场误差、历史误差以及卡尔曼滤波预测误差与实况误差之间的相关性进行分析,设计了4种回归方案订正日最高、最低气温预报偏差,并与ECMWF、中央气象台和全国城镇的预报产品进行了检验对比。结果表明:采用了模式近1～3 d最高(最低)气温和模式最高(最低)气温历史平均误差、初值场误差以及卡尔曼滤波反演误差作为预报因子的改进方案效果最优,经对其2017年日最高和最低气温的预报检验,预报准确率较ECMWF原始模式预报有较明显提高,也明显优于中央气象台指导预报。在空间分布方面,其对地形较为复杂地区的改进效果更好。同时,与当前业务中质量最好的全国城镇预报相比,最高气温预报平均绝对偏差(Mean Absolute Error,MAE)较全国城镇预报低8.24%～13.97%,预报准确率提高1.24%～3.57%,日最低气温平均绝对偏差较城镇预报低9.43%～17.69%,预报准确率提高1.77%～2.72%。在3 d的预报中,对24 h时效内预报相对于48 h和72 h的改进幅度更大,订正效果更加明显。     

ECMWF高分辨率模式2 m温度预报误差订正方法研究

文章提出了一种结合滑动双权重平均订正法和空间误差逐步订正法的综合订正技术,并对2016年5月1日至2017年5月1日期间24～168 h预报时效内欧洲中期天气预报中心(ECMWF)高分辨率模式的2 m最高和最低温度进行偏差订正和误差分析,主要结论如下:(1)ECMWF模式在江西省的温度预报整体上比实况偏低,最高温度尤为明显,模式温度的空间分布表现出显著的系统性偏差,且偏差在不同预报时效是稳定的,订正ECMWF模式温度具有可行性。(2)滑动双权重平均订正法中较长的滑动订正周期对模式温度预报有更好的订正效果,采用滑动订正周期20 d是比较理想的。滑动双权重平均订正法具有持续的订正能力,但在季节过渡期间订正效果可能并不理想,而空间误差逐步订正法能进一步提高滑动双权重平均订正法的预报订正质量。(3)温度预报准确率表明,滑动双权重平均订正法和空间误差逐步订正法综合订正技术较好地改善了站点温度的预报质量。经过订正后,模式最高温度24、48、72 h预报误差≤2℃的准确率分别从0.59、0.55、0.52提高到0.75、0.68、0.62,模式最低温度24、48、72 h预报准确率分别从0.84、0.83、0.82提高到0.89、0.87、0.85。订正后72 h最高和最低温度的预报准确率都大于订正前模式24 h的准确率。总体而言,该综合订正技术较好地订正了模式误差,且误差在空间分布上较均匀。(4)对于高山站而言,经过订正后的最高和最低温度与实况基本吻合。空间误差逐步订正法的订正量在±1℃之内,与滑动双权重平均订正后的偏差呈现一定的负相关,有正的订正效果。该综合订正法已成功运用于江西省精细化气象要素客观预报业务系统中。     

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.     

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.     

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.     

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

Editorial

As we will soon celebrate the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Meteorological Society （CMS）,Acta Meteorologica Sinica （AMS）,which was originally named as Bulletin of the Chinese Meteorological Society,has gone through 89 years of development and excitement since her first issue in July 1925.According to archived documents （CMS Editorial Committee,1925）,AMS was founded to report the research findings of Chinese meteorologists,record their recommendations for improving meteorological services,and share their common meteorological interests in order to promote the growth of AMS such that more members could be inspired to conduct atmospheric research and meteorological knowledge would be better disseminated to and benefit the general public.By upholding and carrying forward this purpose,AMS has published many highly valuable scientific papers.Some could be treated as classical articles,which have produced important influences on both domestic and international meteorological communities and the related fields.
