陇中黄土高原一次秋季层状云微物理结构及适播性分析

利用陇中黄土高原地区一次机载PMS粒子测量系统的云探测资料,研究该地区秋季典型层状云系的微物理特征,并讨论层状冷云适宜催化作业的指标。结果表明:(1)层状云系由高层云和层积云组成,在0℃层和-3~-4℃层,云粒子浓度与液态含水量存在极大值;(2)小云粒子和大云粒子浓度分别主要由3.5—10μm、50—200μm粒径段的粒子浓度决定,最大值超过100个·cm~(-3)、100个·L~(-1),与平均直径分别呈正相关和反相关,并且小云粒子高浓度区对应高液态含水量区;(3)不同高度和过冷水含量区小云粒子谱均为单峰型,大云粒子谱均为混合型;(4)此次层状冷云适宜催化作业的指标有:云系处于发展期,云高为5.5~6.3 km,温度为-6~-2.8℃,LWC≥0.05 g·m~(-3),小云粒子和大云粒子浓度分别在3.5—15μm、150—200μm粒径段各自有101个·cm~(-3)、10~1个·L~(-1)量级的高值区。     

一次飞机积冰环境中的云微物理特征

2014年3月12日利用机载粒子探头(DMT)对我国宜昌及周边地区的非降水云系进行了探测时发现了少量的飞机积冰,本文分析了积冰云层中云微物理量的分布特征。垂直平均分布表明,CAS、CIP和PIP粒子数浓度分别大于300个·cm~(-3)、1个·cm~(-3)和10~(-5)个·cm~(-3),粒子中值直径最大值分别为3μm、89μm和1389μm。谱分布表明,3650m高度重力碰并和凇附过程使得CIP和PIP粒子谱较宽,3650m以下谱宽较窄,粒子以凝结增长为主,大粒子和冰晶粒子主要是由高层下落造成。平飞观测统计表明,3350m的CAS和CIP粒子平均数浓度均大于3650m的值,但PIP粒子数浓度、粒子平均和最大中值直径则相反。平飞时间变化表明,3350m高度CAS粒子数浓度和直径大致呈反相关,3650m大云滴和冰雪晶粒子的数浓度和中值直径随时间波动较大。     

一次霾条件下石家庄上空气溶胶的观测研究

利用2010年9月1日石家庄市区一次飞机探测的气溶胶资料,分析了石家庄市区上空大气气溶胶的数浓度与直径的垂直、水平分布特征及粒子谱分布。结果表明:600—3000 m高度范围内,气溶胶粒子平均数浓度为1443.1个/cm~3,粒子平均直径为0.194μm。3000—6900 m高度范围,气溶胶粒子平均数浓度为95.3个/cm3,粒子平均直径为0.192μm。气溶胶数浓度随着高度增加而迅速减少,受逆温层与云区分布的影响,数浓度曲线呈现一定程度的波动。由于探测当天高空风的影响,粒子数浓度明显比其他霾天气条件下的研究结果要低。云中,气溶胶数浓度与粒子平均直径数呈负相关性。云层对气溶胶的垂直分布影响较大。气溶胶粒子谱覆盖了0.10~1.05μm的尺度范围,粒子主要集中在0.1~0.3μm的范围内。600 m、1200 m、1800 m和3000 m的气溶胶粒子谱呈双峰分布,粒子谱谱型较为相似,4500 m和6900 m粒子谱呈单峰分布。气溶胶粒子尺度谱峰值随高度增加而减少,谱变窄。气溶胶粒子浓度水平变化幅度远小于垂直方向上的变化幅度,受天气条件及下垫面、云区等局地影响因子的影响较大。

2003年8～9月北京及周边地区云系微物理飞机探测研究

对2003年8～9月北京及周边地区4次飞机探测结果，特别对资料较完整的8月15日的层积云（Sc）和9月4日的层状云（St）系进行了较详细的分析。结果表明，FSSP－100测量的小云粒子（云滴、冰晶）最大浓度的变化范围从Sc云的120 cm-3到深厚高层云（As）的183 cm-3，平均直径7.22～16.05 μm。2D－GA2探头观测的冰粒子最大浓度变化范围从2.25×10-3 cm-3到3.29×10-1 cm-3。机载King热线液态水含量仪（King－LWC）的最大含水量变化范围为0.42～0.69 g/m3。St云垂直和水平分布不均匀特性很明显，高空（-10℃层以上）有较大的小云粒子浓度，达到120 cm-3以上，尺度也比较大，最大值为20 μm。云中液态水含量随高度缓慢减小，基本处于0.1～0.2 g/m3的范围。在-5.9～-8℃层，主要是柱状冰晶和少量结淞体，-8～-12℃层显示基本为结淞粒子，-20℃层左右表现出较多的枝状冰粒子。大冰粒子浓度基本在0.01～1 L-1左右。Sc云和St云的平均谱存在明显的差异。Sc云系的大粒子不同层的平均谱很相似，为单峰分布，谱宽达到1500 μm。越到云低层，云粒子浓度越低。St云系的大粒子不同层的谱分布差异比较大，云中在0～-8℃和-8～-12℃层，直径小于400 μm的粒子谱型基本相似，大于400 μm的大粒子谱分布差异较大，-8～-12℃层有明显的双峰分布特征，而0～-8℃呈现多峰特征，谱宽达到1300～1400 μm。     

一次降水性积层混合云系的微物理特征分析

利用山东省2007年10月27日1架次机载粒子测量系统（Particles Measuring System,PMS）积层混合云探测资料,分析了云中粒子浓度和尺度、液态含水量,以及小云滴和大云滴谱的垂直分布特征,比较了催化前后云微物理特征的变化。结果表明,催化前,云层中小云滴谱型为单峰,谱宽随高度增加先变窄后变宽,大云滴谱型在云低层为单峰,中高层为双峰谱,谱宽随高度增加先变宽后变窄,并且没有探测到降水粒子。催化后,小云滴尺度在低层减小、高层增加,整层液态水含量减小;大云滴浓度增加,尺度增大,出现降水粒子,固态粒子类型增多。在3 700~4 000 m高度层内小于10μm粒子明显增加,说明凝结过程比较明显,并且10~27.5μm粒子开始出现,启动了云滴的碰并机制。小云滴谱变化较小,基本为单峰谱,但在较大云滴处谱型略有起伏,在3 000m和3 300m高度的谱宽增宽。大云滴粒子谱有较大的变化,低层变成双峰谱,谱宽最宽可达650μm,中高层为双峰或多峰,峰值从小值向较大值移动。2D-P探头在催化云高层探测到降水粒子,谱型呈单调下降形态,谱宽最大为600μm。     

河南春季一次云降水过程的宏微观物理特征分析

云降水的宏微观物理特征的观测和研究,有助于建立典型的云降水多尺度结构模型,为确定科学的人工增雨催化方案提供重要依据。借助于雷达、卫星等多种遥感探测手段,结合飞机的云中观测,对2004年3月31日河南云降水观测外场试验区（31.5-35°N,111-114°E）的一次云降水过程实施了综合探测,综合分析了此次云降水过程的宏微观物理特征。此次云降水系统属于比较典型的低槽、冷锋活动所造成的一次小至中雨过程。根据GOES卫星云图和天气图可以看出,沿锋面云系的后部,有一槽线,它对试验区的降水起主要作用,地面冷锋位于云带的前沿。雷达PPI回波显示为一条窄而长的回波带,宽度较窄,强度不大;RHI显示回波高度不高,回波云顶高度平均在5-6km左右,除存在一些20-30dBz的回波团外,回波强度比较均匀,回波中存在明显的0℃层亮带。这次降水为锋上高积云（Ac）和其下部液水较为丰沛的层积云（Sc）结合而成,在Ac云的4340m（-4.8℃）和3670m（0℃）液态水含量出现高值,分别为0.072g/m^3和0.086g/m^3,在Sc云中的0℃附近液态水含量出现高值。降水形成前,云中粒子谱型主要为单峰型,粒子直径大部分在5-10μm之间变化,大粒子浓度很低,不到0.1个/cm^3,且呈不连续分布,随着云中微物理过程的发展和降水的形成,粒子谱型逐渐转为双峰或多峰型,粒子浓度明显增高,粒子直径逐渐增大。     

基于CloudSat-CALIPSO数据的大兴安岭地区云宏微观物理量的垂直结构特征分析北大核心CSCD

大兴安岭是我国重要生态资源保护区,深入分析该区域云物理特性参量分布特征,对了解复杂地形区域气候变化及人工影响天气等具有重要意义。基于CloudSat-CALIPSO(CloudSat-Cloud Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations)卫星观测资料,分析了大兴安岭地区云层的宏、微观物理特征,结果表明:大兴安岭地区年平均云出现频率为59.5%,主要以高层云、卷云和层积云为主,春夏季云发生频率高于秋冬季。云层主要以薄云为主,61.41%的云厚度不超过2 km,云顶高度、云底高度分别呈现双峰型和单峰型分布形式。云垂直结构特征为单层云的出现频率最高,占到总云量的69.19%,随着云层数的增加,云的发生频率逐渐降低。大兴安岭地区云中液态水含量丰富,年平均值达244.41 mg·m^(-3),约为冰水含量年平均值的4倍,有83.2%的云水含量集中在低空5 km以下的区域。水滴粒子有效粒径和数浓度的年平均值分别为15.86μm和34.47个·cm^(-3),均小于冰晶粒子平均值。云中含水量和有效粒径随高度呈现单峰型分布形式,而云滴粒子数浓度则在低空呈现为双峰型分布形式。     

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF VARIOUS DATA OF AIR–SEA TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE AND ITS VARIATION ACROSS SOUTH CHINA SEA IN THE PAST 35 YEARS

Using the International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set(ICOADS) and ERA-Interim data, spatial distributions of air-sea temperature difference(ASTD) in the South China Sea(SCS) for the past 35 years are compared,and variations of spatial and temporal distributions of ASTD in this region are addressed using empirical orthogonal function decomposition and wavelet analysis methods. The results indicate that both ICOADS and ERA-Interim data can reflect actual distribution characteristics of ASTD in the SCS, but values of ASTD from the ERA-Interim data are smaller than those of the ICOADS data in the same region. In addition, the ASTD characteristics from the ERA-Interim data are not obvious inshore. A seesaw-type, north-south distribution of ASTD is dominant in the SCS; i.e., a positive peak in the south is associated with a negative peak in the north in November, and a negative peak in the south is accompanied by a positive peak in the north during April and May. Interannual ASTD variations in summer or autumn are decreasing. There is a seesaw-type distribution of ASTD between Beibu Bay and most of the SCS in summer, and the center of large values is in the Nansha Islands area in autumn. The ASTD in the SCS has a strong quasi-3a oscillation period in all seasons, and a quasi-11 a period in winter and spring. The ASTD is positively correlated with the Nio3.4 index in summer and autumn but negatively correlated in spring and winter.     

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.     

IMPACT OF ATMOSPHERIC LOW-FREQUENCY OSCILLATION ON THE IMMIGRATION OF NILAPARVATA LUGENS(STL) IN HUNAN AND JIANGXI PROVINCES

Various features of the atmospheric environment affect the number of migratory insects, besides their initial population. However, little is known about the impact of atmospheric low-frequency oscillation(10 to 90 days) on insect migration. A case study was conducted to ascertain the influence of low-frequency atmospheric oscillation on the immigration of brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens(Stl), in Hunan and Jiangxi provinces. The results showed the following:(1) The number of immigrating N. lugens from April to June of 2007 through 2016 mainly exhibited a periodic oscillation of 10 to 20 days.(2) The 10-20 d low-frequency number of immigrating N. lugens was significantly correlated with a low-frequency wind field and a geopotential height field at 850 h Pa.(3) During the peak phase of immigration, southwest or south winds served as a driving force and carried N. lugens populations northward, and when in the back of the trough and the front of the ridge, the downward airflow created a favorable condition for N. lugens to land in the study area. In conclusion, the northward migration of N. lugens was influenced by a low-frequency atmospheric circulation based on the analysis of dynamics. This study was the first research connecting atmospheric low-frequency oscillation to insect migration.     

A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ATMOSPHERIC AND OCEANIC CONDITIONS BEFORE THE OCCURRENCE OF TWO TYPES OF EL NIO EVENTS

The atmospheric and oceanic conditions before the onset of EP El Ni?o and CP El Ni?o in nearly 30 years are compared and analyzed by using 850 hPa wind, 20℃ isotherm depth, sea surface temperature and the Wheeler and Hendon index. The results are as follows: In the western equatorial Pacific, the occurrence of the anomalously strong westerly winds of the EP El Ni?o is earlier than that of the CP El Ni?o. Its intensity is far stronger than that of the CP El Ni?o. Two months before the El Ni?o, the anomaly westerly winds of the EP El Ni?o have extended to the eastern Pacific region, while the westerly wind anomaly of the CP El Ni?o can only extend to the west of the dateline three months before the El Ni?o and later stay there. Unlike the EP El Ni?o, the CP El Ni?o is always associated with easterly wind anomaly in the eastern equatorial Pacific before its onset. The thermocline depth anomaly of the EP El Ni?o can significantly move eastward and deepen. In addition, we also find that the evolution of thermocline is ahead of the development of the sea surface temperature for the EP El Ni?o. The strong MJO activity of the EP El Ni?o in the western and central Pacific is earlier than that of the CP El Ni?o. Measured by the standard deviation of the zonal wind square, the intensity of MJO activity of the EP El Ni?o is significantly greater than that of the CP El Ni?o before the onset of El Ni?o.     

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.     

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.     

Could the Recent Taal Volcano Eruption Trigger an El Ni?o and Lead to Eurasian Warming?

正The Taal Volcano in Luzon is one of the most active and dangerous volcanoes of the Philippines. A recent eruption occurred on 12 January 2020(Fig. 1a), and this volcano is still active with the occurrence of volcanic earthquakes. The eruption has become a deep concern worldwide, not only for its damage on local society, but also for potential hazardous consequences on the Earth's climate and environment.     

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
