关于大气涡动热通量参数化问题研究

用NCEP/NCAR等再分析资料计算和分析表明,月平均瞬变涡动热通量和月平均温度梯度的局域相关性很低,甚至在一些纬度是负相关,更严重的是二者之间存在非线性的多值对应函数关系.如果用非局域参数化,参数化水平将有所提高,但改进并不明显.通过与分子运动论输运理论进行数学、特别是物理类比提出了考虑"风暴路径"效应的瞬变涡动热通量的参数化方案,经再分析资料的检验,结果表明它能大大提高参数化的水平.其次,还证实采用空间非局域参数化仍然是进一步提高瞬变涡动热通量参数化水平的方法之一.此外,资料分析显示中高纬度纬向平均温度梯度和纬偏涡动温度通量之间也存在负相关及多值函数关系,说明仅用温度梯度去参数化纬向平均涡动热通量难以得到好的结果,需要考虑多元参数化或非同步参数化等.     

GOALS模式中大气能量循环的诊断分析与不同版本计算结果的比较研究

利用大气能量循环框图,对比分析中国科学院大气物理研究所大气科学与地球流体力学数值模拟国家重点实验室(LASG/IAP)全球海-陆-气耦合系统模式(GOALS)两个版本(GOALS-2和GOALS-4),以及观测的全球平均大气能量循环的主要特征,并从能量循环贮蓄和转换项的纬向平均贡献去解释全球积分值改善和转坏的原因,以及诊断分析参数化方案变化后产生的影响.结果表明:模式的两个版本基本上能正确地模拟出全球能量循环的主要特征.旧版本GOALS-2能较好模拟全球积分值,常常是不同符号局地误差的相互抵消结果.新版本GOALS-4中某种局地过程的改善在一些情况下导致了全球积分值的转坏.引入辐射日变化参数化方案可能对能量循环各参数的局地贡献有着明显的影响.如纬向平均有效位能向瞬变涡动有效位能的斜压转换率、瞬变涡动有效位能向瞬变涡动动能的斜压转换率以及定常涡动动能的局地贡献有明显改善.南极地区不合实际的上升运动,是模拟的纬向平均有效位能与纬向平均动能之间的转换项全球积分值为负数的主要原因.     

北极涛动的纬向对称结构

运用NCEP／NCAR再分析月资料,分季节研究了北极涛动的纬向结构,以及与之相对应的纬向平均纬向风和经圈环流异常的空间结构特征,并初步探讨了北极涛动的维持机制。结果表明,北极涛动在水平方向上主要呈纬向对称的环形模态,且这种结构在冬季北极涛动的活跃期表现更为显著;而夏季纬向对称型随季节风带的北移和极涡的减弱,其节点也相应向极地移动。与北极涛动纬向对称型相联系的纬向平均纬向风在冬季表现为明显的偶极型,向上延伸到平流层;而夏季这种形态明显减弱,并只限于对流层中。与冬、夏季北极涛动纬向对称型相对应的平均经圈环流异常均表现为增强的费雷尔环流和哈得来环流,这种形势有利于北极涛动形成正反馈机制,使之得以长期维持。     

冷暖事件对大气能量循环和纬向平均环流影响的模拟研究

利用中国科学院大气物理研究所大气科学与地球流体力学数值模拟国家重点实验室新发展的GOALS 5全球海 陆 气耦合模式研究了暖事件 (ElNi no)和冷事件 (LaNina)对大气能量循环和纬向平均环流的影响 ,并用观测资料进行了对比分析。结果表明 :对于纬向平均资料来说 ,冷、暖事件在热带和副热带地区的大气环流相关量的反相变化特征非常清晰 ,中高纬度地区并不明显。此外 ,还发现 ,暖事件时定常涡动的经向热通量的变化是北半球对流层热带外地区温度异常的主要原因 ,而瞬变波的影响则起抵消作用。冷事件时定常波和瞬变波相互抵消的局地特征也依然存在 ,但瞬变波的影响有所增强。     

热带加热异常影响冬季平流层极涡强度的数值模拟

本文利用大气环流模式SAMIL/LASG,通过选择两种对流参数化方案,研究了热带加热异常对热带外平流层模拟的影响。结果表明,因不同对流参数化方案引起的热带对流加热状况的差异,可显著影响模式对北半球冬季平流层极涡强度的模拟偏差。与采用Manabe对流参数化方案相比,采用Tiedtke参数化方案可以显著改善对平流层极涡强度的模拟,使平流层极涡“过强”及极区“过冷”的模拟偏差得到明显改善。研究其中的影响过程发现,由于Manabe方案最大凝结潜热加热高度过低,在对流层中低层;而Tiedtke方案的最大凝结潜热加热位置在对流层中上层,因而Tiedtke(Manabe)方案时热带大气温度在对流层中上层较为偏暖(偏冷),在平流层低层较为偏冷(偏暖)。自秋季开始,与热带对流层高层温度的暖偏差相联系,热带外对流层高层以及热带平流层低层出现伴随的温度冷偏差;与之对应,平流层中纬度从秋季开始也出现持续的温度暖偏差。另外,随着秋冬季节平流层行星波活动的出现,Tiedtke方案时热带外地区行星波1波的强度也明显强于Manabe方案,使得秋冬季节涡动引起的向极热通量在Tiedtke方案时明显偏强,从而造成了冬季平流层极区温度偏暖、极涡强度偏弱。

高空急流区内纬向基本气流加速与EP通量的关系

采用多时间尺度方法, 并假设纬向基本气流是正压的, 在不引入剩余环流的情况下, 推导出纬向基本气流局地变化与一种新形式Eliassen-Palm通量之间的关系, 这种Eliassen-Palm通量关系在形式上比较简单, 而且物理意义明确, 适合诊断分析高空急流区内纬向基本气流的加速与减速.理论分析表明, 正压纬向基本气流的局地变化由新形式Eliassen-Palm通量散度决定.作者利用该Eliassen-Palm通量关系对2002年12月一次寒潮过程中200 hPa等压面上纬向基本气流的发展演变进行了诊断分析.诊断结果表明, 在200 hPa纬向基本气流急流区内, 新形式Eliassen-Palm通量散度是影响纬向基本气流发展演变的重要因子, 并且纬向基本气流的加速与减速主要是由新形式Eliassen-Palm通量中扰动动量的经向输送造成的.     

基于大涡模拟对两类典型边界层参数化方案的评估分析

在WRF模式的三维动力框架和同一种外强迫下,基于大涡模拟结果对Yonsei University(YSU)和Mellor-Yamada-Janiic(MYJ)边界层参数化方案进行了评估。模式初始场由一个探空观测给定,模式的外强迫为观测得到随时间变化的地面感热、潜热通量及辐射传输模式得到的辐射冷却率。通过显式解析边界层的大涡模拟试验和采用边界层参数化方案的模拟试验结果表明,与大涡模拟结果相比,YSU方案模拟的混合偏强,MYJ方案偏弱;YSU方案模拟的边界层高度偏高,边界层内偏暖、偏干;MYJ方案模拟的边界层高度偏低,边界层内偏冷、偏湿。     

积云参数化方案中云底质量通量的限制及在高分辨率模式中的应用

对SAS积云参数化方案中的云底质量通量进行限制并将其应用到华南区域高分辨率模式降水预报中,分别对强对流个例和弱对流个例进行模拟和比较,分析了限制云底质量通量之后的积云参数化方案对模式降水预报的影响,并探讨了不同大小的云底质量通量限制对预报结果的敏感性。试验结果表明,对积云参数化方案进行闭合时采用不稳定能量释放假设要比原来的准平衡闭合假设更适用于中小尺度模式。对积云参数化方案的云底质量通量进行限制以后可以有效地消除对流参数化在高分辨率模式中引起的虚假降水,同时又能够合理地引入一些次网格尺度的弱对流的影响,从而改进模式的降水预报效果。敏感性试验结果表明,随着云底质量通量限制程度的变弱,对流参数化方案对模式降水预报的影响会逐渐增强;在一定大小范围内的云底质量通量限制下,强对流个例的总降水量预报结果对于不同大小的限制不如弱对流个例敏感。对两种不同的云底质量通量限制方式进行比较发现,在云底质量通量较大时完全关闭对流参数化方案可以更有效避免对流参数化引起的虚假降水。      

Improvement of Vertical Diffusion Analytic Schemes Under Stable Atmospheric Conditions

Based on gradient transport theory or K-theory, turbulent transport in the atmosphere has long been parameterized using the eddy diffusivity. Due to its simplicity, this approach has often been applied in many numerical models but rarely tested with observations. Here, the widely used O’Brien cubic polynomial approach has been validated together with an exponential approach against eddy diffusivity profiles determined from measurements and from large-eddy simulation data in stable conditions. Verification is completed by analyzing the variability effects on pollutant concentrations of two different vertical diffusion (K(z)) schemes incorporated in an atmospheric chemical model. It is shown that the analytical, exponential solution agrees better with observations than the O’Brien profile and should be used henceforth in practical applications.     

Transient Characteristics of Residual Meridional Circulation during Stratospheric Sudden Warming

The residual meridional circulation derived from the transformed Eulerian-mean thermodynamic equation and continuity equation can be separated into two parts,the slowly varying diabatic circulation and the transient circulation,as demonstrated by others.We calculated and composite-analyzed the transient and diabatic circulation for 14 stratospheric sudden warming(SSW) events from 1979-2002 by using the daily ECMWF reanalysis data.Specifically,the transient residual meridional circulation was calculated both with and without inclusion of the eddy heat transport term in the transformed Eulerian-mean thermodynamic equation to investigate the importance of the eddy heat transport term.The results showed that calculations of transient residual meridional circulation present rapid variations during SSWs,with or without inclusion of the eddy heat transport term.Although the patterns of transient residual meridional circulation with the eddy heat transport term were similar to that without the eddy heat transport term during SSW,the magnitudes in the upper stratosphere and high-latitude regions differed.As for the diabatic circulation,its daily variations were small during SSW events,and its patterns were in agreement with its monthly average.     

THE INTERACTION BETWEEN EDDY FLUX AND ZONAL AVERAGED FLOW IN“JUNE SUDDEN CHANGE”

In this paper,Eliassen-Palm theory and associated diagnostic method are used to discuss the dynamicalmechanism of the interaction between eddy flux and zonal averaged flow in the sudden change of the generalcirculation in the Northern Hemisphere in early summer of 1982,which indicates that the northward jump ofsubtropic jet stream is closely related to the enhanced transport of mid-latitude eddy energy to the subtropic tro-popause.However,the direction of the transport is conditioned by the structure of zonal averaged flow.It isevident that the adjustment of zonal averaged flow responses quickly to the eddy transport during this episode.As regard to the suddenness of the change of circulation,the critical role is played by the eddy forcing,     

THE STUDY ON EDDY TRANSPORT OF WATER VAPOR OVER SOUTH CHINA

Water vapor transport is decomposed into mean transport and eddy transport. Analysis of water vapor over South China during the first flood season of 1994 shows that difference between season mean transport and season total transport is less than 10%. For the monthly and ten-day averages, the difference is above it.The transient transport of water vapor is the least among all kinds of eddy transport. its amount is only ±2% of total transpoft for column. The constant wave transport is the Iapest Sometimes it may be 1-6 times of total transport.     

华南水汽涡旋输送分析

水汽输送按时空分离为平均输送和涡旋输送。对华南区域１９９４年前汛期的水汽输送所做的分析表明,季平均各种涡旋输送量与总输送量相比不到１０％,月平均气柱涡旋输送量约占总输送量的１０％—２０％。在夏季风爆发前和暴雨期,旬平均水汽涡旋输送强烈,最大可达到总输送量的５至６倍,这时期不能用平均输送代表总输送。最后给出了用气候平均量计算的各时段水汽输送对总输送的代表性的估计。     

Interpreting Reynolds stress from perspective of eddy geometry

Geometric features in oceanic mesoscale eddies such as tilt and anisotropy can influence the properties of the Reynolds stress that provides feedback between the eddies and the background flow. By regarding an eddy as a wave, previous studies have parameterized the Reynolds stress based on the equivalence in the tilt angle between the phase of the eddy stream functions and the variance ellipse for the Reynolds stress (RS-ellipse). However, the wave assumption cannot predict the anisotropy of the RS-ellipse, and also largely simplifies the eddy geometry, which would naturally be an ellipsoid rather than a wave. The present study explores the shape relation between elliptical eddies and the RS-ellipse, by mathematically reformulating the Reynolds stress based on the eddy shape. The new formula reveals that the shape relation is regulated by the horizontal extent of the occurrence probability distribution (PDF) of the eddy, and that the shape of the eddy and RS-ellipse are identical at the place of maximum PDF when the horizontal scale of the PDF is sufficiently larger than the size of the eddy. A similar tendency is found in eddies detected by satellite altimetry in the Kuroshio Extension jet region. A detailed analysis of the PDF in this region shows that the tilts of the eddies are likely to be consistent with the destabilization effect on the jet, suggesting a strong relation between the eddy geometry and the jet's stability in this region. These findings may open a path toward a new method to parameterize the Reynolds stress with the background state, exploiting the shape equivalence between the eddies and the RS-ellipse.     

夏季青藏高原低涡的能量场分析

本文采用视热源方程，视水汽汇方程，扰动能量方程和涡度方程对1979年6月的三次低涡进行了分析和研究，得到了以下结论:在低涡生成和发展过程中，积云和乱流引起的总热量的垂直涡旋输送很大。当大气处于条件不稳定时，γs＜γ＜γα，积云和乱流的这种输送结果，使得低涡的正涡度增长上升到较高层次；另外，积云和乱流对总热量的垂直涡旋输送使得低涡内扰动有效位能增加，然后向扰动动能转换，使低涡得以生成和发展。     

A global three-dimensional model of the tropospheric sulfur cycle

The tropospheric part of the atmospheric sulfur cycle has been simulated in a global three-dimensional model. The model treats the emission, transport, chemistry, and removal processes for three sulfur components; DMS (dimethyl sulfide), SO₂ and SO₄ ^2– (sulfate). These processes are resolved using an Eulerian transport model, the MOGUNTIA model, with a horizontal resolution of 10° longitude by 10° latitude and with 10 layers in the vertical between the surface and 100 hPa. Advection takes place by climatological monthly mean winds. Transport processes occurring on smaller space and time scales are parameterized as eddy diffusion except for transport in deep convective clouds which is treated separately. The simulations are broadly consistent with observations of concentrations in air and precipitation in and over polluted regions in Europe and North America. Oxidation of DMS by OH radicals together with a global emission of 16 Tg DMS-S yr^–1 from the oceans result in DMS concentrations consistent with observations in the marine boundary layer. The average turn-over times were estimated to be 3, 1.2–1.8, and 3.2–6.1 days for DMS, SO₂, and SO₄ ^2– respectively.     

LOCAL ENERGETICS ON EXPLOSIVE DEVELOPMENT OF EXTRATROPICAL MARINE CYCLONE

Local energetics on explosive development of extratropical marine cyclone was proposed and adiagnosis of the representative cases was performed from local balance,net volume integrationbudget and vertical distribution using the derived eddy kinetic energy equation and eddy availablepotential energy equation.The results revealed that three primary scenarios are responsible for therapid growth of eddy kinetic energy and explosive cyclogenesis,and that a primary explosivedevelopment mechanism is the enhanced baroclinic instability by eddy heat transport and eddydiabatic heating,and that the explosive eyclogenesis is essentially a product of the peculiarclimatological background bearing strong thermal difference in cold season and its conversionpotential.
