华西南区秋雨异常及其对青藏高原冬季大气冷源的响应

利用1971—2017年华西秋雨南区269个气象站逐日降水资料和NCEP/NCAR再分析资料等,分析华西南区秋雨强度变化及其大气环流异常特征,寻找影响华西南区秋雨强度的大气冷源关键区,并就关键区大气冷源对南区秋雨强度的影响进行诊断。结果表明:华西南区秋雨强度整体变化趋势不显著,其年际变化可能受前期冬季(1月)青藏高原大气冷源异常变化的滞后影响。当前期冬季高原冷源偏强(弱)时,可激发南海到西太平洋一带气旋(反气旋)性异常环流并持续到夏季,其南侧持续偏西(东)气流使得赤道西(中)太平洋地区表层暖水东(西)传,造成赤道中太平洋地区海温暖(冷)异常,继而在其西北侧西太平洋地区激发气旋(反气旋)性环流,华西地区处于该环流西侧的偏北(南)风控制下,水汽条件较差(好),降水偏少(多),华西南区秋雨偏弱(强)。     

前期印度洋海温异常对夏季高原“湿池”水汽含量的影响及其可能原因

利用Hadley中心提供的逐月海温资料、ERA-Interim再分析资料以及NOAA（National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration）的逐月向外长波辐射（OLR）资料探讨了1979~2011年夏季青藏高原“湿池”的水汽含量与前期印度洋海温异常的关系,并对可能的原因进行了分析。结果表明,夏季青藏高原水汽（去趋势）EOF第二模态与前期印度洋海温存在密切的正相关,前期3~4月关键区（5°S~20°N,45°E~75°E）的海温异常可以作为夏季高原水汽的预测信号。在暖水年,赤道附近显著的东风异常对夏季高原水汽输送起到了至关重要的作用。500 hPa上副热带高压显著增强并西移,600 hPa上赤道附近为显著的异常东风,将水汽从西太平洋、南海、孟加拉湾向西输送到印度半岛,并在异常反气旋环流西侧的南风作用下,将水汽带向青藏高原。高层风场上,西太平洋地区辐合,青藏高原上空辐散。以上环流形势表明暖水年夏季青藏高原水汽偏多;冷水年则相反。就影响机制而言,前期春季印度洋海温显著偏暖,引起其上空异常的对流上升运动,驱动异常沃克环流从春到夏显著维持,副热带高压的季节性北跳和异常增强西移,有利于赤道东风异常的增强和西移,并经过水汽输送通道将水汽带向青藏高原上空。     

2011/2012年冬季中国气温异常的成因及前兆信号

采用国家气候中心整理的全国160站月平均气温资料、NCEP/NCAR再分析资料及NOAA全球海温资料,在探讨1986年以来中国冬季气温异常机理基础上,对2011/2012年冬季气温异常特征及其前兆信号进行分析。结果表明:地面西伯利亚高压、东亚冬季风及500 hPa乌拉尔山与贝加尔湖南侧的异常环流等系统是影响中国冬季气温的主要中高纬环流系统,而中低纬环流系统主要包括西太平洋副高环流和印缅槽。前期热带印度洋和中东太平洋关键区海温异常与后期冬季气温关联的环流系统有密切的关系:前期夏季7、8月西印度洋海温偏高时,冬季西伯利亚高压将偏强,有利于冬季风偏强和中国冬季气温偏低;而当8—10月中东太平洋海温偏高时,西太平洋副高将偏强偏大偏西,北界位置偏北,印缅槽偏强,中国气温容易偏高,反之亦然。两者对后期环流的影响存在一定的独立性,中国冬季地面气温异常是它们共同作用的结果。     

东亚夏季风的强度与前期西太平洋暖池热含量异常的关系

本文利用日本气象厅提供的历史海温资料、Hadley海温资料以及NCEP/NCAR再分析资料(1951~2010年)等探讨了东亚夏季风的强度与前期暖池热含量异常的关系。结果表明,西太平洋暖池热含量可以作为东亚夏季风强度的前期预测因子,两者正相关关系显著。本文选取相关系数更大、持续性更好的前期冬季暖池关键区(-5.5°~5.5°N;157.5°~170.5°E)热含量来进行预报。将暖池热含量指数和东亚夏季风指数均回归到夏季大气环流场上,发现在暖水年次年夏季西太副高偏弱、位置偏北,菲律宾以东以北洋面为气旋性环流,对流上升运动增强,赤道西太平洋地区为显著的西风距平,日本岛以东洋面为反气旋环流,对流下沉运动增强,日本岛以南、黄海至我国中东部地区为显著的东风距平,且前期2月西风带位置偏北,引起夏季海陆热力差异较大,最终导致东亚夏季风强度异常偏高;冷水年则相反。综上所述,当前期冬季西太平洋暖池热含量异常偏高(低)时,会造成次年东亚夏季风强度偏强(弱)。      

江南雨季降水与前期西太平洋暖池热含量异常的关系及其可能机制

利用日本气象厅提供的历史海温资料、Hadley环流中心逐月海表温度(Sea Surface Temperature,简称SST)资料、美国NCEP/NCAR再分析资料以及江南地区逐旬降水资料,研究江南地区4—6月(江南雨季,亦泛称为华南前汛期)降水与前期暖池热含量异常的关系,并对可能的影响机制进行分析。研究结果表明,前期暖池热含量与江南雨季降水有密切的负相关关系,前期7—8月暖池关键区(130. 5°～150. 5°E,3. 5°～11. 5°N)热含量高(低)可以作为预报江南雨季旱(涝)的一个很好的指标。前期暖池热含量异常对4—6月环流和降水有重要影响。冷水年,菲律宾异常反气旋导致副高西伸加强,显著加强了其西侧暖湿气流向江南地区输送,高层辐散抽吸作用导致江南地区对流上升运动增强,暖水年相反,表明冷(暖)水年江南雨季降水偏多(少)。就影响机制而言,在前期夏季,关键区南侧存在异常强西风,导致在秋末形成了菲律宾异常反气旋,以及关键区附近(东侧)有冷(暖)海表温度异常发展,在当年春季和夏初该反气旋移到菲律宾以北。直到4月,次表层冷水团上传导致冷SST异常维持并加强了该异常反气旋,其西侧西南暖湿气流将水汽从南海和菲律宾海地区源源不断地向江南地区输送。同时,西印度洋暖海温和赤道印度洋东风异常也逐渐发展增强,在热带印度洋形成东西向异常垂直环流,其下沉支始终在西太平洋维持,导致了菲律宾异常反气旋的维持,并进一步引起江南地区的水汽辐合和上升运动。同时,副热带西风急流轴南压引起的高空强辐散,也有利于上升运动和对流活动在江南地区发展。正是上述过程和机制,导致了前期热含量异常偏低(高)时,我国江南雨季降水偏多(少)。     

前期热带海温分布型对6月西北太平洋异常反气旋环流的影响

研究了前期热带海温分布型对6月西北太平洋异常环流的影响。结果表明,奇异值分解(SVD)的前期夏季、秋季至冬季热带海洋第一模态呈现出印度洋全海盆一致型海温异常和东太平洋西伸显著的ENSO事件,该模态与6月西北太平洋反气旋(气旋)环流场没有明显的关联。在第二模态中,前期热带太平洋海表温度呈现为ENSO正位相向负位相转换特征,印度洋海表温度变化呈现出赤道东南印度洋（90～110 °E,10 °S～0 °）显著的准IOD事件的变化特征。而这一联合模态与6月西北太平洋异常反气旋(气旋)环流场有显著关联。关联的可能原因是前期海温为El Ni?o和正IOD时,横跨热带印度洋-太平洋的沃克环流的减弱导致在西太平洋-海洋大陆的负降水异常,在Matsuno-Gill效应下西北太平洋形成反气旋异常环流。同时由于两大洋的共同作用和局地海气相互作用使得该环流加强并维持到6月。      

夏季南亚高压年际变化及其与ENSO的关系

采用1948～2006年NCEP/NCAR月平均再分析资料, 探讨了夏季南亚高压年际变化及其与ENSO事件的关系, 结果表明: 在ENSO事件暖 (冷) 位相衰减期的夏季, 印度洋和亚洲大陆南侧海温为正 (负) 异常, 对应热带印度洋地区低层为上升 (下沉) 气流而其东侧西太平洋和西侧非洲西部为下沉 (上升) 气流的异常纬向环流, 低层850 hPa上从西太平洋到非洲赤道南北两侧依次各存在一异常反气旋－气旋－反气旋(气旋－反气旋－气旋)环流, 高层200 hPa异常流场的分布与850 hPa基本相反, 使得南亚高压强度发生显著变化, 强度增强 (减弱）、面积扩大 (缩小）、东西向扩展 (收缩）、 脊线北侧气压梯度增大 (减小）、南侧气压梯度减小 (增大)。     

山西夏季降水年代际变化特征及其与印度洋海温和大气环流的关系

利用山西省65个气象站1960—2011年逐月降水资料、NCEP/NCAR再分析资料和NOAA月平均海表温度资料等,应用谐波分析、EOF、SVD、Monte Carlo统计检验和合成分析等方法,探讨了山西夏季降水年代际变化特征,以及其与大气环流场、印度洋海温场异常的关系。结果表明,近52 a来,山西夏季降水总体呈现减少趋势,并有明显年代际变化特征:20世纪60年代初至80年代前期是降水偏多期,80年代中期至2011年则是降水偏少期,空间分布主要包括全省一致偏多(少)型和南多北少(南少北多)型。同时,山西夏季降水与印度洋关键区海温变化具有明显的负相关,当上年秋季、上年冬季、当年春季和当年夏季关键区海温异常偏高时,当年夏季山西降水呈现减少趋势,反之亦然。在1982年之前,关键区海温偏低,山西夏季降水偏多,同期500 hPa高度层上的乌拉尔山、青藏高原北部高空槽和东北冷涡发展深厚,活动频繁,西太平洋副热带高压强度偏弱、位置偏东,850 hPa高度层上的印度季风低纬度偏西风和中纬度西南风异常强盛,贝加尔湖南侧低涡活跃;1982年之后,关键区海温偏高,山西夏季降水随之减少,同期500 hPa高度层上的贝加尔湖至青藏高原北部地区受高压控制,西太平洋副热带高压强度偏强、位置偏西,850 hPa高度层上的印度季风中纬度西南风异常偏弱。     

2004年北半球大气环流及对中国气候异常的影响

20 0 4年上半年,赤道中、东太平洋大气、海洋状况总体上处于正常状态。7月以来,赤道中、东太平洋海表温度明显增暖;2 0 0 4年西太平洋副热带高压持续偏强,夏季西伸脊点位置偏东、脊线位置偏北;6月上中旬贝加尔湖以西地区50 0hPa高度场偏高,7月中旬和8月中旬贝加尔湖地区高度场偏高;2 0 0 4年南海季风爆发时间接近常年,南亚夏季风偏强;青藏高原50 0hPa高度场偏高,冬季积雪较常年稍偏多;2 0 0 4年上半年,赤道太平洋对流活动普遍受到抑制,7月后期开始,1 6 0°W以西海域上空对流活动较常年明显增强。2 0 0 4年中国气候异常可能是下垫面热力异常和大气环流异常共同作用的结果。     

山东夏季降水异常的前兆信号特征

利用山东省内1960～2003年40个观测站的夏季降水资料和NCEP/NCAP再分析资料,分析了山东夏季降水空间分布、时间尺度的演变特征以及山东夏季降水异常时大气环流、热带对流活动的异常特征,结果表明:山东夏季降水总体呈现由鲁南向鲁北递减的趋热,空间分布具有一致性.涝年的前期冬季极涡向东扩展,东亚大槽和东亚冬季风较常年偏强;旱年前期冬季极涡偏向西半球,东亚大槽和东亚冬季风较常年偏弱.涝年热带印度洋、南海至西太平洋地区对流增强,热带东太平洋地区对流减弱,西太平洋副热带高压位置偏北;旱年则相反.涝年前期冬季由于冬季风较强及低纬度地区冷涌活跃,加强了低纬地区的对流活动,增强了Hadely环流,加强了能量及水汽向中、高纬度地区的输运,从而引起山东降水增多.     

华南6月持续性致洪暴雨与孟加拉湾对流异常活跃的关系

利用NCEP/NCAR再分析逐日及逐月资料、NOAA卫星观测的向外长波辐射（Outgoing Long-wave Radiation,OLR）资料、我国160站月降水资料及华南45站逐日降水资料,分析了2005年6月华南持续性致洪暴雨的发生与孟加拉湾对流异常活跃及西太平洋副热带高压演变的关系,并对华南6月有无持续性大范围暴雨年进行合成分析,结果表明华南持续性大范围暴雨发生的年份,孟加拉湾对流相对活跃,西太平洋副高强度偏强、位置偏西;反之亦然。华南6月持续性大范围暴雨发生前,孟加拉湾对流经历了一次活跃过程,同时西太平洋副高也明显经历了一次增强西伸过程。孟加拉湾对流活跃可能通过东西向垂直环流诱使西太平洋副高增强西伸,从而对华南暴雨的形成产生影响。     

2018年春末南方极端持续高温及MJO影响

本文分析了2018年春末我国南方地区持续性极端高温过程及其影响系统。本次事件自5月15日首先在江淮等地迅速发展,17日之后扩展至华南并在该地区维持至6月初。江南南部和华南东部等地高温日数比常年同期偏多6～10 d,累计近两千站次出现了35℃以上的高温天气,约是之前最多年（1991年）的2.6倍。研究区域内有超过三分之一的测站高温日数突破5月历史极值。统计分析结果显示,春末南方高温日数与该地区上空位势高度、其西侧经向风及其上空对流活动均有显著关系,但对流的影响更为超前,约在一周左右。除和华南地区对流呈显著正相关外,春末南方高温还和热带印度洋OLR（Outgoing Longwave Radiation）呈显著的负相关,这种相关模态和MJO（Madden-Julian Oscillation）的第一、二位相对应的对流异常分布一致。对2018年的个例分析支持这一统计结果。2018年5月,MJO有20 d持续位于这两个位相,且振幅均超过1,是有MJO监测以来5月这两个位相最多的一年。因此,无论是统计分析还是个例都表明MJO对本次春末南方高温有重要影响。     

The 30–60-day Intraseasonal Oscillations over the Subtropical Western North Pacific during the Summer of 1998简

The features of 30-60-day convection oscillations over the subtropical western North Pacific （WNP） were investigated, along with the degree of tropical-subtropical linkage between the oscillations over the WNP during summer 1998. It was found that 30-60-day oscillations were extremely strong in that summer over both the subtropical and tro]~ical WNP, providing a unique opportunity to study the behavior of subtropical oscillations and their relationship to tropical oscillations. Further analyses indicated that 30-60-day oscillations propagate westwards over the subtropical WNP and reach eastern China. In addition, 30-60-day oscillations in the subtropics are affected by those over the South China Sea （SCS） and tropical WNP through two mechanisms： （1） direct propagation from the tropics into the subtropics; and （2） a seesaw pattern between the tropics and subtropics, with the latter being predominant.     

Teleconnection Patterns along the Asian Jet Associated with Different Combinations of Convection Oscillations over the Indian Continent and Western North Pacific during Summer

A zonal teleconnection has been found along the Asian jet over the Eurasian continent during summer.In this study,the authors investigated circulation anomalies in the extratropics,in particular for the zonal teleconnection,under different combinations of subtropical convection anomalies over the northern Indian continent (IND) and the western North Pacific (WNP).The outof-phase configuration (i.e.,stronger (weaker) IND convection and weaker (stronger) WNP convection) was found to be more common than the in-phase configuration (i.e.,stronger (weaker) IND convection and stronger (weaker) WNP convection),which is consistent with previous results.Composite results indicated that circulation anomalies for out-of-phase configurations of 30-60-day convection oscillations are much stronger in the middle latitudes than those for in-phase configurations.In addition,zonal teleconnection patterns are predominant for the out-of-phase configurations,particularly for the configuration of strong IND convection and weak WNP convection;however,they are either weak or obscure for the in-phase configurations.These results suggest that the zonal teleconnection pattern along the Asian jet is dependent on different combinations of the IND and WNP subtropical convection anomalies.     

CLIMATIC ANALYSIS OF IMPACTS OF THE TROPICAL CONVECTION IN WESTERN PACIFIC ON WESTERN PACIFIC SUBTROPICAL HIGH’S SHORT-TERM SCALES DURING BOREAL SUMMER*

Based on the multi-year average NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data and NOAA's OLR data,the climatic characteristics of the tropical convection in tropical western Pacific and Indian Oceans as well as its relationship with western Pacific subtropical high (WPSH) is shown as follows:on short-term scales,the tropical convection that has significant influence on western Pacific high's latitudinal movement is located in the area of the South China Sea to the Philippines,which is the 2-day precursor prior to WPSH's latitudinal fluctuation,that is,WPSH is shifting to north 2 days after the tropical convection becomes more active,and vice versa.Moreover,the tropical convection has less effect on WPSH's longitudinal movement.     

Influence of Tropical Western Pacific Warm Pool Thermal State on the Interdecadal Change of the Onset of the South China Sea Summer Monsoon in the Late-1990s

An interdecadal shift in the onset date of the South China Sea summer monsoon(SCSSM) is identified during the late 1990 s by using the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Interim Reanalysis dataset. The mean onset date was brought forward by two pentads during 1999–2013 compared to that during 1979–1998. The large-scale atmospheric and oceanic change associated with this shift exhibits a significant interdecadal variation signal around 1998/1999, indicating that the shift during the late 1990 s is robust. Different from the well-known mid-1990 s shift, this shift carried more important systematical significance. Diagnostic analysis suggests that the earlier outbreak of the SCSSM was due to the interdecadal warming of the warm pool, which brought stronger convection anomalies and led to a weak western Pacific subtropical high(WPSH) during boreal spring(March–May). The earlier retreat of the WPSH was a direct cause of this shift.     

30-60-day Oscillations of Convection and Circulation Associated with the Thermal State of the Western Pacific Warm Pool during Boreal Summer

This study focuses on the characteristics of the 30-60-day oscillation (MJO) associated with the interannual variability of the thermal state in the western Pacific warm pool. The composite results show that the amplitude of MJO convection over the tropical western Pacific tends to intensify (reduce) in the WARM (COLD) case. The negative correlations between MJO convection in the WARM and inthe COLD cases are examined to be significant over most of the Asian-Pacific region. The evolutions of MJO convection and lower circulation, on the one hand, exhibit larger differences between the WARM and COLD cases, but on the other hand, display a unique feature in that a well-developed MJO cyclone (anticyclone) is anchored over the Asian-Western Pacific domain at the peak enhanced (suppressed) MJO convection phase over the western Pacific warm pool, either in the WARM or in the COLD case. This unique feature of MJO shows a Gill-type response of lower circulation to the convection and is inferred to be an inherent appearance of MJO. The context in the paper suggests there may exist interactions between MJO and the interannual variability of the thermal state in the western Pacific warm pool.     

中尺度模式中各种积云参数化方案的对比试验

利用非静力中尺度MM5数值模式，选择Anthes-Kuo、Grell、Kain-Fritsch和Betts-Miller4种积云对流参数化方案，对2003年7月25-26日台风登陆减弱为中尺度低压系统后影响云南产生的强降水过程进行模拟试验，重点分析了4种参数化方案模拟的降水分布、降水强度和中尺度低压的流场特征。结果表明：4种积云参数化方案对这次强降水过程均有一定的模拟能力，能够很好地模拟过程强降水中心的位置，但Grell、Kain-Fritsch和Betts-Miller3种方案模拟的大雨范围比实况大雨范围明显偏小，Betts-Miller方案模拟的降水强度比实况偏大，Anthes-Kuo方案的模拟结果与实况比较接近，它不仅能够很好地模拟强降水过程的降水区范围、降水强度和降水中心位置，还能很好地再现低压环流系统的一些中尺度特征。     

Anomalous Western Pacific Subtropical High during Late Summer in Weak La Nia Years: Contrast between 1981 and 2013

Both 1981 and 2013 were weak La Niña years with a similar sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly in the tropical Pacific, yet the western Pacific subtropical high (WPSH) during August exhibited an opposite anomaly in the two years. A comparison indicates that, in the absence of a strong SST anomaly in the tropics, the cold advection from Eurasian high latitudes and the convection of the western Pacific warm pool play important roles in influencing the strength and position of the WPSH in August. In August 1981, the spatial pattern of 500 hPa geopotential height was characterized by a meridional circulation with a strong ridge in the Ural Mountains and a deep trough in Siberia, which provided favorable conditions for cold air invading into the lower latitudes. Accordingly, the geopotential height to the north of the WPSH was reduced by the cold advection anomaly from high latitudes, resulting in an eastward retreat of the WPSH. Moreover, an anomalous cyclonic circulation in the subtropical western Pacific, excited by enhanced warm pool convection, also contributed to the eastward retreat of the WPSH. By contrast, the influence from high latitudes was relatively weak in August 2013 due to a zonal circulation pattern over Eurasia, and the anomalous anticyclonic circulation induced by suppressed warm pool convection also facilitated the westward extension of the WPSH. Therefore, the combined effects of the high latitude and tropical circulations may contribute a persistent anomaly of the WPSH in late summer, despite the tropical SST anomaly being weak.     

青藏高原春夏季对流异常及其对西太平洋副高的影响

高原冬春季净辐射多寡可以显著影响高原地区大气环流季节转换进程和后期高原对流活动。净辐射偏多,初夏高原同低纬度之间温度梯度反转时间提前,高原对活跃,夏季高原主体对流异常,可以通过辐散环流造成西太平洋异常的下沉运动,影响副高的强度、南北位置和西伸程度,最终导致夏季降水的异常分析。
