东亚夏季风和中国东部夏季降水年代际变化的模拟

利用中国科学院大气物理研究所发展的第四代大气环流模式模拟了1970年代末东亚夏季风和相关的中国东部夏季降水年代际变化。结果表明,在给定的观测海温强迫下,模式能模拟出东亚夏季风的年代际减弱及 相关的环流场变化,包括东亚沿海的偏北风异常以及西太平洋副高的形态变化,模式还较好再现了中国东部夏季降水的雨型变化,即长江流域降水偏多,而华北和华南偏少,但位置略偏南。基于奇异值分解(SVD)的分析表明,热带海洋变暖是这次东亚夏季风的年代际减弱的主要因素,这与太平洋年代际振荡(PDO)在1970年代末期的位相转变有关。此外,模式还较好模拟了长江流域的变冷趋势,进而减弱了海陆温差,使东亚夏季风减弱。     

华南夏季风降水开始日的异常与前冬大气环流和海温的关系

利用1951～2004年NCEP/NCAR再分析资料及ERSST海温资料,研究了华南夏季风降水开始日期的变化特征及其与前期冬季大气环流和海温的关系。小波分析表明,夏季风降水开始日期具有明显的年际和年代际变化,年际变化以准2～3年变化为主,年代际变化周期约16年。华南夏季风降水开始偏早年在大气环流上的前兆信号表现为前期冬季乌拉尔山阻塞高压偏强、东亚大槽较深,阿留申低压偏强,冷空气活动偏强。冬季,鄂霍次克海附近的海温异常为华南夏季风降水开始迟早有物理意义的、稳定正相关前兆信号。合成分析表明,冬季鄂霍次克海附近SST正异常时,5月100 hPa青藏高压偏东偏北偏弱,异常偏西风控制华南;850 hPa环流在华南表现为东北风,华南受冷空气影响为主,华南夏季风降水开始日期偏晚。相反时,若冬季鄂霍次克海附近SST负异常,5月100 hPa青藏高压偏西偏南偏强,异常偏东风控制华南;850 hPa环流在华南表现为偏南风,华南受热带系统影响为主,华南夏季风降水开始日期偏早。并提出冬季中高纬度地区冷空气活动影响华南夏季风降水开始日异常的物理机制。     

梅雨期中国东部降水的时空变化及其与大气环流、海温的关系

利用1961～2000年中国台站降水资料、 NCEP/NCAR再分析资料以及扩展重建海平面温度 (Extended Reconstructed Sea Surface Temperatures, ERSST) 资料, 采用EOF、小波变换、合成及相关方法探讨中国东部梅雨期降水的时空变化及其环流、水汽输送和海温异常特征.分析指出中国东部梅雨期 (6月11日～7月10日) 降水存在三种主要空间型: 江南北部多雨型、长江流域多雨型和江淮平原多雨型.三种降水型都存在多时间尺度特征, 由于年际和年代际振荡的周期和强度随时间的变化有不同表现, 三种雨型旱涝年出现的年份有所不同.三种雨型对应的东亚夏季风环流各子系统的强度、位置、水汽输送等也存在明显差异.梅雨期三种雨型与冬季海温的研究表明:赤道东太平洋海温偏高有利于出现江南北部降水型; 赤道印度洋、南海和西太平洋黑潮海温偏高有利于出现长江流域降水型; 北太平洋中纬度海温偏高则有利于出现江淮平原降水型.     

北太平洋次表层海温异常对中国夏季降水影响的可能途径

利用Godas月平均次表层海温资料, 分析了冬、春季和夏季北太平洋次表层海温层际相似性特征, 据此对次表层海温进行分层。在此基础上研究了500 hPa位势高度场、北太平洋次表层海温、中国夏季降水三者之间的时滞相关关系, 发现春季北太平洋次表层海温场是联系前、后期大气环流的关键因素。前期冬季大气环流对春季北太平洋次表层海温场影响最显著, 春季北太平洋次表层海温场又持续影响同期及后期夏季大气环流异常。异常的夏季大气环流与同期表层、次表层海温相互作用, 共同造成夏季长江流域与华北、华南降水出现相反异常的分布型式。     

华北夏季降水的年代际变化

利用我国740个测站逐日降水资料和NCEP/NCAR逐日再分析资料,使用合成分析等方法,对华北夏季降水的年代际变化特征进行分析。结果表明:华北夏季降水的年代际变化与华北夏季雨带的年代际变化密不可分。在华北夏季降水偏多阶段,华北地区雨带降水量较大,华北雨带能够向西延伸,雨带位置大多数时间能够越过115°E,并且能够接近华北西部边界110°E,位置偏西;而在华北夏季降水偏少阶段,华北雨带降水量偏小,雨带虽然也能够越过115°E,但维持时间不长,且向西延伸并不明显,雨带位置很难接近华北西部边界110°E,位置偏东。华北雨带发生的年代际变化和东亚地区大气环流以及东亚夏季风的年代际变化有关。     

海气耦合模式FGOALS-s2模拟东亚气候的能力分析

该文采用FGOALS-s2模式两个20 a积分试验的结果,一个是海气自由耦合的控制试验,另一个是由控制试验产生的月平均海温强迫大气的海温强迫试验,通过比较两个试验结果的气候态和标准差,研究海气耦合模式FGOALS-s2模拟东亚气候变率的能力。结果表明:FGOALS-s2模式控制试验能够很好的再现降水和大气环流场的气候特征。与海温强迫试验相比:耦合模式能更好的模拟东亚地区气候态,200~500 h Pa垂直积分的气温整体偏低,850 h Pa上的东亚夏季风和南亚夏季风均偏弱,青藏高原附近的降水显著偏少,阿拉伯海、孟加拉湾、南海区域降水偏多,副高减弱偏南;耦合模式模拟的东亚气候标准差,在青藏高原上空200~500 h Pa上垂直积分气温变率偏大,阿拉伯海、孟加拉湾以及南海和西北太平洋降水变率均偏少;两种试验均能较好地模拟中国雨带从华南到长江流域再到华北的季节演变过程,控制试验模拟的降水北进过程中雨带偏南,而南退过程缓慢。     

大洋间SST遥联与亚太夏季风异常的关系

用奇异值分解(Singular Value Decomposition,SVD)方法,给出了四季年代际和年际时间尺度上北大西洋和北太平洋海表温度(Sea Surface Temperature,SST)的显著遥相关.用SVD主模态时间系数构造了海温异常指数Ⅰ,分析了它们与同期亚太夏季风和我国东部夏季降水异常的关系.结果表明:两大洋间的SST遥联在年际、年代际时间尺度上都与亚太夏季风相关,其中,年际尺度的两大洋SST遥联与长江流域的降水存在显著相关.     

海温异常对东亚夏季风影响机理的研究进展

从短期气候预测关注的外强迫信号角度出发,回顾了国内外在海温异常对东亚夏季风和我国汛期降水影响机理方面的主要研究进展,重点评述了热带太平洋ENSO循环、热带印度洋全区一致型海温模态、热带印度洋海温异常偶极子、南印度洋偶极子和北大西洋海温三极子模态的年际变化及其对东亚夏季风年际变率的影响。从研究成果在短期气候预测业务中应用的角度,重点关注海温异常和东亚夏季风年际变率以及我国汛期降水多雨带位置的关系,总结了海温异常作为外强迫信号对我国汛期降水预测的指示意义以及汛期降水预测的难度。最后指出气候预测业务对东亚夏季风影响的机理研究和动力气候模式发展方面的需求。     

中国春季降水异常及其与热带太平洋海面温度和欧亚大陆积雪的联系

利用降水观测资料, 研究了1979～2004年中国春季 (3～5月) 标准化累积降水异常的时空特征及其与前冬、 春热带太平洋海面温度和春季欧亚大陆积雪的关系。中国春季标准化累积降水量EOF第一模态最大变率位于中国东部中纬度地区, 主要反映了中国东部中纬度地区春季降水的变化特征。同时, 中国东部春季降水异常具有南、 北反相变化的特征。当长江以南大部分地区的降水偏少时, 长江以北地区的降水偏多。春季降水异常具有显著的年际变化, 但在1980年代末出现年代际转型, 即年际变化的振幅明显增大变强、 周期变长。从华北到长江流域中纬度地区的春季降水异常特征与前冬热带太平洋海面温度有密切的关系。当前冬、 春热带东太平洋海温偏暖, 西太平洋海温偏冷时, 中国东部从华北到长江流域中纬度地区的春季降水偏多, 反之亦然。虽然当春季欧亚大陆楚科奇半岛和青藏高原积雪偏多, 贝加尔湖到中国东北地区的积雪偏少时, 对应着中国东部从华北到长江流域中纬度地区的降水偏多, 但当去掉ENSO信号后, 这种关系并不显著。说明EOF第一模态所反映的中国东部从华北到长江流域中纬度地区春季降水与欧亚大陆积雪的相关关系可能是前冬热带太平洋海面温度异常的一个体现。     

东北5月降水在21世纪初的年代际变化及可能成因

基于1961—2015年东北地区的台站降水观测资料及全球环流和海温再分析资料,利用统计分析、物理量诊断等方法,探讨了东北5月降水的年代际变化,及其与大气环流和海温外强迫的关系。研究发现,东北5月降水具有和东北盛夏降水明显不同的年代际变化特征,在20世纪80年代中期至90年代初处于年代际偏少阶段,而在21世纪初转变为年代际偏多阶段。东北5月降水在21世纪初的年代际变化主要由5月东北亚低压强弱的年代际变化造成,在21世纪初,东北亚低压相对于气候态明显偏强,有利于东北降水偏多;而在20世纪80年代初至90年代初,东北亚低压减弱为较浅的低槽,导致东北降水偏少。来自北大西洋的欧亚大陆位势高度异常波列引起东北亚上空的垂直运动异常,导致了东北亚低压的上述年代际变化。5月热带北大西洋海温异常很可能是激发上述波列进而造成东北亚低压和东北5月降水在21世纪初年代际变化的外强迫信号。     

Interannual and Interdecadal Variations in Atmospheric Circulation Factors and Rainfall in China and Their Relationship

Wavelet analysis is used to study the interannual and interdecadal variations of rainfall in China and atmospheric circulation factors, including the key atmospheric oscillations, W, C, E patterns and subtropical high. Regression analysis and correlation analysis are both used to study the relationship of atmospheric circulation factors and China rainfall on different time scale and spatial scale. The results are as follows: (1) The variations of atmospheric circulation and rainfall in China are characterized by interannual and interdecadal scales. The variations of atmospheric circulation and rainfall are composed of interannual and interdecadal variations. It is necessary to separate those two time scales when climate changes and forecast are studied. (2) The variations of China rainfall are due to the interaction of multi-factors rather than single factors. The marked factors which influence the interannual and interdecadal variations are various. Subtropical high is one of the marked factors which influence interannual variations of rainfall, while AO, NAO, and NPO are one of the marked factors which influence interdecadal variations of rainfall. (3) The longer the time scale is, and the larger the spatial scale is, and the more remarkable the relationships between atmospheric circulation and rainfall are.     

Characteristics and Changes of Cold Surge Events over China during 1960-2007

This paper demonstrates regional characteristics, a long-term decreasing trend, and decadal variations in the frequency of cold surge events based on daily mean temperature and daily minimum temperature data in mainland China from 1960 to 2008. During these 48 years, four high frequency centers of cold surge events were located in Xinjiang, central North China, northeast China, and southeast China. A main frequency peak of cold surge events occurs in autumn for the four regions and another peak is detected in spring over northeast China and southeast China. The regional pattern of cold surge frequencies is in accordance with the perturbation kinetic energy distribution in October-December, January, and February-April. The long-term decreasing trend （-0.2 times/decade） of cold surge frequencies in northeast China and decadal variations in China are related to the variations of the temperature difference between southern and northern China in the winter monsoon season; these variations are due to the significant rising of winter temperatures in high latitudes.     

INTERCOMPARISON OF THE INTERDECADAL VARIATIONS OF SUMMER PRECIPITATION IN CHINA SIMULATED BY AOGCMS FROM THE IPCC-DDC

Simulations of the interdecadal variations of summer rainfall over China are assessed from 5 coupled AOGCMs from the Data Distribution Center (DDC) of the Intergovernmental Panel in Climate Change (IPCC) under the IPCC-Special Report in Emission Scenarios (SRES) A2 and B2 scenario. We examined their ability in simulating the interdecadal variations of summer precipitation over China from 1951 to 1990. The difference before and after the mid-1960’s and the late 1970’s is given respectively to check the capability of the models, especially in reproducing the rainfall jump in North China. We also investigated the interdecadal variations simulated by the models in the 1990’s and the average of 2001-2020 in the future under the scenario A2 and B2. The analysis shows that the current AOGCMs is not good enough in simulating the interdecadal variations of summer precipitation in China. The interdecadal variations of summer rainfall simulated by most of the models cannot reproduce the observation in North China. Higher resolution models are suggested to well simulate the interdecadal variability in regional scale.     

东北三省冬季气温变化的有关研究进展

 通过简要回顾中国学者有关东北三省冬季气温变化的研究成果,概括分析了近百年或近几十年时间尺度平均气温及最高、最低气温年际、年代际变化的基本特征,综述了与冬季气温年际、年代际变化相关的各类海-气环流因子。近百年来,东北冬季气温上升,1987年前后发生增暖突变;北极涛动、西伯利亚高压、东亚冬季风等是影响东北冬季气温年际变化的主要因子;北极涛动、东亚冬季风、东亚中高纬环流型等的持续性是冬季气温年代际变化的主要因子。对多种变化特征集中出现的20世纪70年代末的气候变化值得深入探讨,也有必要在整个东北三省的范围内,深入开展冬季气温预测方法的系统研究。另外,测站气温序列的非均一性问题也应引起足够重视。     

MULTI-SCALE ANALYSES OF SURFACE AIR TEMPERATURE VARIATIONS FOR THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE AND CHINA DURING THE LAST ONE HUNDRED YEARS*

Using multi-resolution theory of wavelet analysis,this paper studies the multi-scale structure of surface air temperature variations for the Northern Hemisphere and China during the last one hundred years.The results show that the climatic variations for the Northern Hemisphere can be described as 3 hierarchies corresponding to the larger-scale changes.They are the cold period before 1919,the warm period from 1920 to 1978 and the warmer period after 1979.The larger-scale hierarchical changes obviously show qualities of climate jump.The years 1920 and 1979 are the jump points of climate change.The surface air temperature variations for China are not entirely analogous to the Northern Hemisphere,and the main contrasts are that China is in the cold period after 1955 and the jump point of warming is 1987.The surface air temperature variations for the Northern Hemisphere and China during the last one hundred years obviously show the hierarchical structure of multi-scale changes and the qualities of climate jump.

西南地区春季及其各月降水的气候特征分析

利用1951～2017年我国西南地区26个台站的降水观测资料,本文研究了该地区春季及其各月降水的基本气候特征。结果表明:5月是春季我国西南地区降水最多的月份,其占春季总降水的55.3%,此外,5月降水年际变化强度最大;西南地区春季及其各月降水均具有显著的年代际变化特征,5月降水在春季降水的年代际变化特征中占据主导地位;在年代际突变特征方面,西南地区春季降水存在显著的年代际突变特征,其在1970年代后期发生了减少突变,而在1990年代中后期发生了增加突变;在变化趋势方面,春季西南区域平均降水的变化趋势不明显,但从空间上看,西南地区东部表现出显著增多的趋势,而西部则表现出显著减少的趋势;在周期方面,西南地区春季及其4～5月降水均具有显著的年际和年代际变化周期,需要说明的是,3月降水没有明显的年代际变化周期,总体上看,5月降水在春季降水周期变化中占据主导地位。     

A CLIMATOLOGY OF DEEP CONVECTION OVER SOUTH CHINA AND THE ADJACENT WATERS DURING SUMMER

Due to the higher temporal and spatial resolution and the better integrality of long-term satellite infrared(IR) Brightness Temperature(TBB) data,a climatology of deep convection during summer over South China and the adjacent waters is presented in this paper based on the 1-hourly infrared IR TBB data during June-August of 1996-2007(except 2004).The results show that the geographic distribution of deep convection denoted by TBB ≤-52℃ over South China and the adjacent waters are basically consistent with previous statistical results based on surface thunderstorm observations and low-orbit satellite lightning observations.The monthly,ten-day,five-day and diurnal variations of deep convection in this region are focused on in this paper.There are 5 active deep-convection areas in June-August.The monthly variations of the deep convection are closely associated with the large-scale atmospheric circulations.The deep convection over the land areas of South China is more active in June while that over the South China Sea is more active in July and August.The development of deep convection is prominently intermittent and its period is about 3 to 5 five-day periods.However,the deep convection over the coastal areas in South China remains more active during summer and has no apparent intermittence.The ten-day and five-day variations of deep convection show that there are different variations of deep convection over different areas in South China and the adjacent waters.The tendency of deep convection over the land areas of South China is negatively correlated with that over the South China Sea.The diurnal variations of deep convection show that the sea-land breeze,caused by the thermal differences between land and sea,and the mountain-valley breeze,caused by the thermal differences between mountains and plains or basins,cause deep convection to propagate from sea to land in the afternoon and from land to sea after midnight,and the convection over mountains propagates from mountains to plains after midnight.The different diurnal variations of deep convection over different underlying surfaces show that not only there are general mountainous,marine and multi-peak deep convection,but also there is longer-duration deep convection over coastal areas and other deep convection triggered and maintained by larger-scale weather systems in South China during summer.     

太平洋湍流热通量异常与中国夏季降水年代际变化

采用NCEP/NCAR再分析感热、潜热资料,利用EOF方法,分析了夏季太平洋湍流热通量年代际变化的时空特征及其与中国夏季降水的关系。分析结果显示,1951—2003年夏季太平洋湍流热通量距平的年代际分量的EOF前3个模态的方差贡献率分别为32.27%、12.52%、11.10%,且这3个模态分别与中国华北、华南和东北地区夏季降水的年代际关系密切;太平洋湍流热通量年代际异常EOF第1模态的时间系数与东亚夏季风指数年代际变化有显著的负相关。20世纪70年代中期以前,太平洋湍流热通量异常偏多,东亚夏季风偏强,对应华北降水偏多;20世纪70年代中期以后,太平洋湍流热通量异常偏少,东亚夏季风偏弱,对应华北夏季降水减少,干旱化趋势明显。     

华北夏季不同月份降水的年代际变化

利用９５１年到１９９６年华北地区１７个站的月降水资料,分析了华北地区夏季各月降水的年代际变化特征,结果表明：６月降水量较少,且在年代际变化下没有表现出减少趋势;７月降水量较多,年代际变化较大,８０年代是少;８月的降水量在年代际变化上表现出线性减少的趋势并呈准１０年周期的振荡,７月和８月的降水量均在６０年代中期和从７０年代末到８０年代初有两次明显的减少。根据７、８月降水不同的年代际变化特征,我们利用
