利用2004年6～7月在河西走廊金塔陆-气相互作用试验的观测资料,分析了该地区夏季夜间和中午风、温、湿的垂直结构特征,结果表明：夏季夜间,当地面风较小时,金塔绿洲高空可能为偏西风气流,夜间稳定层高度大致在100～190m。夏季中午,当低空为偏东风时,风速随高度的变化比较复杂。总的来说,存在着东风急流,急流高度在1000-4000m之间,大气边界层顶盖（即逆温层底）约在3000-3600m高度,在500-800m高度以下存在绿洲内边界层;当低空为偏北风或西北风时,高空都为偏西风或西北风气流,低空风速随高度的变化比较平缓,风速有时存在极大值,大气边界层顶盖（即逆温层底）在3500m左右,在1200m以下可能存在绿洲内边界层,绿洲内边界层高度有时会很低。     

宜昌冬季两次降水过程大气边界层的观测分析

利用宜昌2007年12月10-25日的加密观测资料,分析了两次低值系统经过宜昌时大气边界层的温湿风廓线结构及其日变化特征。结果表明：位温廓线具有明显的日变化特征,对流边界层在白天出现和发展,其高度可达600m,而稳定边界层在夜间出现和发展,其高度可达300m,降水会抑制对流边界层和稳定边界层的发展;湿度廓线结构及其日变化与对流边界层的发展有关,总体上湿度随高度减小,贴近地面的薄层湿度随高度减小较快,而混合层内湿度随高度变化较小,出现降水时,近地层的湿度有明显增加,大气边界层内湿度随高度快速平稳减小;风速廓线结构比较复杂,总体上风速随高度增大,在大气边界层低层有时会出现一个风速极大值,风速廓线没有明显的日变化特征,大气边界层内风向变化较大,但以偏东风为主。     

黄土高原塬区近地面层重力波的辨识及其特征研究

利用平凉陆面过程与灾害天气观测研究站2012年5-7月夜间近地面层观测资料,针对黄土高原塬区夜间不同风速和下垫面粗糙度条件,辨识塬区重力波,揭示重力波的频段,并对比研究了风速和粗糙度变化对该频段的影响。结果表明,平凉站塬区的夜间近地面层易于产生重力波,且即使整体Richardson远小于0. 25时,也可以观测到重力波。受塬区下垫面特征影响,重力波的波动周期主要集中于60～110 s,同时随着观测高度的降低,重力波波动周期只存在10 s左右的变化。     

苏州东山冬季大气边界层结构特征及其对污染物浓度的影响

利用2015年1月15—27日在苏州东山气象观测站系留气艇观测数据以及细颗粒物浓度观测资料,对东山大气边界层结构特征及其对污染物垂直结构分布的影响进行分析研究。结果表明:苏州东山地区冬季空气污染过程的边界层结构演变比较典型,夜间稳定边界层高度约为200 m,白天最大边界层高度可达1 000 m。边界层内污染物垂直结构分布易受边界层高度的影响,较低的大气边界层高度可使细颗粒物在近地层持续累积;反之,边界层高度较高,湍流发展旺盛,颗粒物垂直分布均匀。夜间大气边界层稳定,逆温结构多发,导致近地面出现细颗粒物堆积。风的垂直结构对细颗粒物空间分布也存在显著影响,在风速较小的低空层细颗粒分布较多,而风速较大的中高层的分布较少。      

低空急流对内重力波不稳定发展的作用

本文研究了在环境风场中存在风的垂直切变时,对内重力波发展不稳定性的影响,指出风速在垂直方向出现急流状廓线时,有利于波动的发展。在一定条件下,稳定层结仍可引起重力波的不稳定。用数值积分的方法研究了不同急流强度和急流轴置于不同高度时,对不稳定发展的影响。对同样强度的急流来说,轴的高度越低、越接近边界层内,扰动振幅的增长率就越大。最后把理论结果与观测事实作了比较。     

多模式对美国中部草原大气边界层模拟的对比分析

利用DICE试验的4个大气模式(UM、GEM、LMD和WRF)模拟结果,结合探空资料,对比分析了不同模式对1999年10月23—26日美国中部草原白天对流边界层和夜间稳定边界层的模拟效果。结果表明:对于白天对流边界层,不同模式之间存在明显差异,这与各自的边界层参数化方案密切相关。其中,UM和LMD模式中,边界层和自由大气之间强的卷夹作用导致了偏强的湍流混合,进而使模拟的混合层高度高于观测值;GEM模式模拟的白天湍流混合偏弱,边界层为不稳定的大气层结,且模拟的风速在边界层中随高度基本呈递增趋势,但与观测值差异较大;所有模式中WRF模式模拟效果最佳,成功模拟出24日边界层与自由大气之间的水汽干层和低风速区。对于夜间稳定边界层,不同模式之间差异较小。其中,UM和GEM模式模拟的24、25日夜间低空急流偏弱,而LMD和WRF模式模拟的夜间低空急流更接近实况。     

大气边界层中Kelvin-Helmholtz波对降水的作用

在夜间稳定边界层大气中,北京受燕山山脉地形的影响,重力流一般在300米以下的高度内传播,波的传播速度基本等于切变层的平均风速.在一定的高度上存在大风轴,并形成低层风的强切变,大风中心一般在100米高度附近,强度约5米/秒左右. 本文讨论了Helmholtz波不稳定性对降水的影响,在Ri≤0.25的临界值时,与重力流相伴随有时可有小雨,当大尺度盛行气流为东风时可出现大雨.     

地基遥感联合反演大气边界层高度与ERA5再分析资料比对分析

利用北京国家综合气象探测试验基地超大城市观测试验建设的地基垂直遥感设备(激光气溶胶雷达、微波辐射计及风廓线雷达),使用2021年5—8月的观测资料,根据不同设备的探测优势以及边界层的日变化规律,利用激光气溶胶雷达、微波辐射计、风廓线雷达观测资料进行联合反演,得到全天候大气边界层高度。并将联合反演所得的边界层高度与探空资料计算及ERA5再分析资料提供的全天候大气边界层高度进行比较,发现:联合反演边界层高度与ERA5数据提供的大气边界层高度有较好的一致性;激光气溶胶雷达适用于白天对流边界层的观测,微波辐射计适用于夜间稳定边界层的观测,使用微波辐射计与风廓线雷达联合反演大气边界层高度可以改善弱降雨时单设备的反演结果;联合反演的大气边界层高度结果与单设备反演大气边界层高度均符合大气边界层的日变化规律;得到的联合反演边界层高度与探空数据计算得到的大气边界层高度差值的标准偏差为62 m,相较于ERA5数据提供的一定范围内大气边界层高度均值,联合反演边界层高度能更精准地反映更小范围内的大气边界层高度。     

一次冷锋后飑线的大振幅重力波特性分析

本文用较密集的观测资料分析江淮地区一次冷锋后的飑线过程。分析表明飑线的生成和发展与中尺度冷涌活动有关，它具有大振幅重力波的特征。重力波在传播过程中于大别山东侧形成边缘锋，边缘锋的传播更类似于沿岸Kelvin波，大振幅重力波在边界层特征更明显。这类被地形拦截的大振幅重力波是江淮地区冷锋后飑线的一种可能激发机制。     

稳定大气边界层中风向脉动的特征

本文对稳定大气边界层中风向脉动的特征进行了讨论。用美国波德大气观测台(BAO)气象塔上超声风速仪的观测资料,计算了三种不同稳定大气结构条件下垂直风向σ_w/U和横截风向σ_v/U随时间的变化。结果表明σ_w/U和σ_v/U随平均时间的变化分别与垂直风速和横向风速的能谱分布有关。σ_w/U和σ_w/U随平均时间变化的峰值与能谱峰值的时间尺度相当。 在重力内波的情况下,边界层大气中往往伴随有风向切变。由于稳定大气边界层的结构十分复杂,通常,风向脉动参数和Ri数及高度之间无简单规律。只有在一层逆温时,在风速和Ri数均随高度增加的情况下才有一定的简单关系。     

二维波状地形上的流场

在一个简化的二层模式中，求解大气波动方程，得到了二维波状起伏地形上扰动流线的分析解。研究了在上、下两层大气中，不同的温度廓线和风速廓线情况下，地形引起扰动的流场形式，同时讨论了支配扰动振幅的大气因子和地形特征。分析解的结果表明:若大气低层为深厚的不稳定层，地形引起的波动很微弱;如低层大气强稳定，上层大气弱稳定，则可能产生较强的波动;而当上层稳定度增加时，可产生非陷波，有利于高层动量下传，造成较大的地面风速。     

A numerical study on severe downslope windstorms occurred on 5 April 2005 at Gangneung and Yangyang, Korea

Severe downslope windstorms occurred on 5 April 2005 in the Taebaek Mountain Range, located in the eastern coast of Korea, are examined using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. Strong winds are observed at Gangneung and Yangyang during two separate periods with a rapidly decreasing period in between. These downslope windstorms are reproduced in the simulation reasonably well, although the rapidly decreasing surface wind speed after the second windstorm could not be captured at Yangyang. It is found that the generation mechanisms of the downslope windstorms in these two periods are somewhat different. The severe wind in the first period is likely due to the reflection of the mountain waves from a critical level that locates near z = 8–9 km. Upward-propagating waves and reflected downward-propagating waves interact constructively in a duct between the critical level and the surface, resulting in strong surface wind. In the second period, the hydraulic-jump theory can be applied in that the wave breaking above the downstream induces a well-mixed region, and severe downslope wind is developed beneath this turbulent region as the streamlines descend along the downstream. Simultaneous lee wave structure is also reproduced during the second windstorm period. The sensitivity of the downslope wind speed to the change in the land-cover map showed that the absorption of trapped lee waves in the boundary layer reduces the downslope wind speed significantly after the second windstorm at Gangneung, improving the model performance, although with no significant impact at Yangyang.     

三层模式中风场对背风波的影响

为了研究风场对背风波的影响,针对边界层附近为弱稳定层结的背风波,建立了一个三维三层的理论模型和线性计算模式,分析了各层中风速和风向的变化对背风波特征的影响,揭示了气流过孤立山脉产生背风波的有利风场条件。结果表明：背风波的波长、振幅等特征对各层风速和风向的变化具有相当的敏感性,波长随着低、高层风速的增大而增大,随着中层风速的增大先减小后增大;振幅随着低、中层风速的增大先增大后减小,随着高层风速的增大而增大。此外,风速和上下层风向切变的增大均使背风波的形态逐渐由横波型转为辐散型,但是上下层风向的切变对背风波形态的影响比风速更为显著。     

Boundary-layer effects on mountain waves: a new look at some historical studies

Early studies of mountain waves reported various results that have rarely been investigated since. These include: large-amplitude mountain waves above an unstable boundary layer much higher than the mountains; a repeated downwind drift and upwind jump of mountain waves; and larger vertical wind magnitude near sunrise and/or sunset. These are investigated using over 3,000 radiosondes and meso-strato-troposphere (MST) radar. Superadiabatic temperature gradients are found beneath mountain waves, explainable by convection which appears to raise the mountain-wave launching height. Movement of mountain-wave patterns is studied by a new method using height–time vertical wind data. A swaying motion of mountain waves, with period of a few minutes, appears to be equally upwind and downwind, rather than asymmetric at the heights measurable. Also, vertical wind shows no change in mean, variance or extreme values near sunrise and sunset, despite the expected diurnal changes of boundary-layer structure. An explanation for differences between MST radar and other measurements and models of mountain waves is suggested in terms of more than one variety of mountain wave. Type 1 has stable air near the ground; type 2 is above a convective/turbulent boundary layer of significant height as compared to the mountains.     

副高与阻高形成的Rossby孤立波理论Ⅱ:存在临界层

研究了存在临界层的非均匀纬向流中的Ｒｐｓｓｂｙ孤立波。在求出振幅函数满足的ＫｄＶ方程或修正ＫｄＶ方程（ＭＫｄＶ）后，选择Ｃｈｅｂｙｓｈｅｖ多项式作为展开基函数，用假谱方法，求解本征值和本征函数。对理想风场的计算表明，在临界层存在与否两种情况下，都能得到在东西风界面处的反气旋式副高型Ｒｏｓｓｂｙ孤立波，同副高有一致的演变规律：当东风带相对强于西风时，向西移动；当西风相对强于东风时，则向东移动。在西风带，则得到阻高型Ｒｏｓｓｂｙ孤立波，与阻高也有同样的演变规律。另外，我们还用连续谱方法计算了临界层附近的连续谱及离散谱，也得到与假谱方法较一致的结论。     

Frequency of Boundary-Layer-Top Fluctuations in Convective and Stable Conditions Using Laser Remote Sensing

The planetary boundary-layer (PBL) height is determined with high temporal and altitude resolution from lidar backscatter profiles. Then, the frequencies of daytime thermal updrafts and downdrafts and of nighttime gravity waves are obtained applying a fast Fourier transform on the temporal fluctuation of the PBL height. The principal frequency components of each spectrum are related to the dominant processes occurring at the daytime and nighttime PBL top. Two groups of cases are selected for the study: one group combines daytime cases, measured in weak horizontal wind conditions and dominated by convection. The cases show higher updraft and downdraft frequencies for the shallow, convective boundary layer and lower frequencies for a deep PBL. For cases characterized by strong horizontal winds, the frequencies directly depend on the wind speed. The temporal variation of the PBL height is determined also in the likely presence of lee waves. For nighttime cases, the main frequency components in the spectra do not show a real correlation with the nocturnal PBL height. Altitude fluctuations of the top of the nocturnal boundary layer are observed even though the boundary layer is statically stable. These oscillations are associated with the wind shear effect and with buoyancy waves at the PBL top.     

Effects of Sea-Surface Waves and Ocean Spray on Air-Sea Momentum Fluxes

The effects of sea-surface waves and ocean spray on the marine atmospheric boundary layer(MABL) at different wind speeds and wave ages were investigated. An MABL model was developed that introduces a wave-induced component and spray force to the total surface stress. The theoretical model solution was determined assuming the eddy viscosity coefficient varied linearly with height above the sea surface. The wave-induced component was evaluated using a directional wave spectrum and growth rate. Spray force was described using interactions between ocean-spray droplets and wind-velocity shear. Wind profiles and sea-surface drag coefficients were calculated for low to high wind speeds for wind-generated sea at different wave ages to examine surface-wave and ocean-spray effects on MABL momentum distribution. The theoretical solutions were compared with model solutions neglecting wave-induced stress and/or spray stress. Surface waves strongly affected near-surface wind profiles and sea-surface drag coefficients at low to moderate wind speeds. Drag coefficients and near-surface wind speeds were lower for young than for old waves. At high wind speeds, ocean-spray droplets produced by wind-tearing breaking-wave crests affected the MABL strongly in comparison with surface waves, implying that wave age affects the MABL only negligibly. Low drag coefficients at high wind caused by ocean-spray production increased turbulent stress in the sea-spray generation layer, accelerating near-sea-surface wind. Comparing the analytical drag coefficient values with laboratory measurements and field observations indicated that surface waves and ocean spray significantly affect the MABL at different wind speeds and wave ages.     

A model for heat patch in the boundary layer of the geostrophic flow

A hydrodynamic model is considered for a disturbance of wind field structure of the boundary layer in the geostrophic flow running onto a warmer underlying surface. It is shown that the breeze effect causes the lowering (or heightening) of streamlines in a narrow area of sharp changes in curvature of horizontal profile of temperature disturbance. The technique by A.A. Dorodnitsyn for solution of parabolic equation set is illustrated by an example of a streamline and vertical velocity calculation over a wide “warm” river. A scheme is presented explaining the breeze effect on the boundary layer structure.     

Richardson number profiles through shear instability wave regions observed in the lower planetary boundary layer

Remote sensing of the lower planetary boundary layer in the vicinity of a meteorological tower on many occasions reveals the existence of shear instability (Kelvin-Helmholtz) waves. In general, such waves are found within shallow strata which are marked by strong thermal stability and large vertical wind shear. The independent and concurrent measurements of the vector wind and temperature, made on a 152-m high tower, allow the construction of wind and temperature profiles. From such measurements, the Richardson number profile is constructed as well as the instability regime according to Drazin's criterion. The results show that regions of shear-instability waves as depicted by the remote sensor (an acoustic sounder) agree well with Drazin's instability regime, and that within such regions the Richardson number is indeed 0.25.     

一次暴风雪过程中的中尺度重力波特征及其影响

应用地面自动气象站观测资料、数字化多普勒天气雷达探测资料和WRFV2.2.1中尺度数值模拟资料,分析了中尺度重力波与基本气流的相互作用,以及重力波活动对暴雪和大风天气的重要影响。结果表明,在波导中传播的中尺度重力波能够与基本气流进行动量交换,使得对流层中上层4.5—8 km气层内的水平平均风速趋于均匀,形成斜穿整个对流层的饱和湿空气急流,即"湿急流"。在高空急流出口区激发的垂直向下传播的重力波,使基本气流的水平风速在垂直方向上出现了加速和减速的交替变化,水平风加速的气层,反射率增大;水平风减速的气层,反射率减小。随着波动下传及其随基本气流的移动,反射率回波强度沿高空风的方向(由西南向东北)出现周期性变化,回波带呈西北—东南走向,强回波中心之间为宽约40 km的弱回波区。重力波下传期间,当地面气压迅速下降时,东北风快速增长,风向有明显的改变,反射率强度开始减弱;气压脊线过后,反射率降低到最低点。地面大风中心出现在反射率回波强度周期性变化的地带,沿西南—东北方向间隔着分布。雷达探测表明,对流层低层风速在风向切变层上下边界对称相等,因此推测在重力波与切变层汇合的高度层存在垂直环流,由风切变层上下边界附近的西南气流和东北气流与受重力波影响形成的垂直方向上的上升和下沉气流共同组成。切变层上方的动量通过垂直环流的下沉支到达地面,强风中心对应着下沉气流,出现在降水回波开始减弱之际。
