登陆台风“凡亚比”(1011)合力散度特征诊断研究——垂直分布特征

本文利用2010年1011号台风“凡亚比”登陆过程高分辨率数值模拟资料,诊断分析了“凡亚比”台风环流合力散度的垂直分布及其演变特征。结果指出,合力散度的显著区一直与台风系统相伴随,可以有效地示踪热带气旋（Tropical Cyclone,简称TC）的移动,并能较好地识别TC强度、结构的发展演变。台风中心偏东一侧流入层的合力散度异常信号首先出现并发展,反映出环流的非对称特征。随着台风趋于成熟,合力散度逐渐增强,高度扩展,对称性也逐渐增加;台风中心上空为合力辐合,外围为合力辐散,垂直方向上合力辐合与辐散相间的结构对应上升运动极值区及强降水,即对应台风眼墙位置。合力散度面积指数和强度指数的分析指出,垂直方向上辐合与辐散面积指数负相关;各层的合力辐合强度指数普遍大于辐散强度指数,垂直方向上两强度指数呈显著的正相关关系;结合面积指数与强度指数,可知垂直方向上合力辐合与辐散此消彼长。运用合力散度方程对该垂直分布特征的成因展开分析,发现风速u分量平流随经度变化项和风速v分量平流随纬度的变化项是TC眼区合力辐合部分的主要贡献项,垂直运动项决定了TC眼墙的合力辐合与辐散相间的垂直分布特征。     

1319号超强台风“天兔”强度变化的诊断分析

利用观测资料和NCEP再分析资料,对超强台风"天兔"海上快速加强及登陆快速减弱期间的相关物理量做了初步诊断分析,结果表明:(1)高的海温,西南季风、越赤道气流持续与"天兔"保持联结,充沛的水汽供应,弱的垂直风切变及强烈的高空辐散与低层辐合的高低层环流配置,是"天兔"快速加强的主要原因;(2)"天兔"登陆后强度迅速减弱的原因与登陆后陆面摩擦消耗能量、登陆前后大气干冷、高低层垂直风切变加大、低层水汽输送被切断以及高空辐散减小等有关。     

台风Lekima(1909)登陆前后动热力结构变化对浙江极端降水的影响

利用NCEP FNL 1 °×1 °的全球再分析资料、FY-2F卫星相当黑体亮温TBB资料、中国自动站与CMORPH降水产品融合的逐时降水资料和多普勒天气雷达资料,重点分析了台风Lekima(2019)发展演变过程中的动热力结构变化和水汽分布特征与浙江极端强降水之间的关系。台风Lekima(2019)近海急剧加强为具有特殊双眼壁结构的超强台风,登陆前后环境水平风垂直切变维持较小值是主导台风高强度维持的重要原因。浙江上空维持着强盛的低层辐合和高层辐散场,高低层辐散风的高强度维持使得次级环流抽吸作用强,低层旋转风和辐散风对水汽、动量和热量的输送和分布起到显著的再分配作用,而中层的辐散风风向和风速变化对螺旋云带中的中尺度对流性降水具有重要的指示意义。登陆前后台风低层东北侧(超)低空急流和中层的辐合线是此次浙江台风暴雨的关键点,业务中需密切关注登陆前后台风东北侧的低空急流的影响区域及其变化。此外,700 hPa上非地转湿Q矢量散度场能较好指示未来1小时短时强降水的落区和强度变化,同时结合垂直速度场和低层水汽辐合场来综合判断台风降水落区的效果更佳。      

登陆的0915号热带气旋“巨爵”降水分布及其中尺度结构的分析

利用自动气象站、雷达和TRMM卫星的观测资料,对2009年广东登陆热带气旋(TC)“巨爵”(0915)的降水分布进行了分析。结果表明:登陆TC“巨爵”的降水具有明显的非对称性和中尺度特征,TC降水主要位于移动路径的左侧。通过对海表温度(SST)、水汽通量、Q矢量和环境风垂直切变等分析发现,SST分布、水汽辐合、低层对流上升运动和垂直切变都有利于在TC移动路径的左侧产生降水。通过Barnes带通滤波对中尺度结构进行分离发现,登陆TC“巨爵”的降水存在明显的围绕TC中心的中尺度螺旋结构,呈带状或块状形式;登陆TC“巨爵”的局地强降水主要与中尺度螺旋结构的降水有关。

用常规高空和地面资料分析0606号台风"派比安"造成暴雨的环境形势场,并利用美国NCEP全球冉分析网格资料,分别从暴雨产生的水汽和动力条件等方面,探讨了暴雨的形成机制.结果表明:①当台风登陆粤西向偏西方向移动时,如果从低层到高层整层湿度明显增大时,或500 hPa层的q＞5g/kg时,均有利于暴雨的产生.②暴雨落区与水汽辐合区有较好的对应关系,降水的主要时段、暴雨强度和暴雨落区基本上能从水汽通量散度中反映出来.③在暖湿气流中,低层辐合与高层辐散相配合,有利于降水的产生和维持.④500 hPa正涡度平流对大气形成的扰动,为暴雨的发生提供了良好的触发机制.     

台风“鲇鱼”(1617)导致的江西持续性暴雨天气过程成因

利用常规地面观测资料、卫星和雷达资料以及NCEP再分析资料,对台风"鲇鱼"(1617)在江西引发的持续性暴雨过程的形成原因进行分析.结果表明:台风处于大陆副热带高压和西太平洋副热带高压之间的鞍型场中,系统稳定维持,移动非常缓慢,影响时间长.台风登陆后水汽输送通道仍然维持,低层一支由偏南风和偏东风汇合而成的低空急流,为台风暴雨提供充足的水汽和热量.台风暴雨过程分为两个阶段:第一阶段台风本体降水.登陆后台风暖心结构逐渐遭到破坏,但台风中心附近仍维持上下一致的垂直正涡度柱结构,中低层正涡度区位于台风低压中心和台风北侧风向辐合带,辐合带附近不断有局地中尺度对流云团生成发展.同时,台风高层的气流辐散区与低层台风中心北侧的辐合带相互配合,形成"高层辐散、低层辐合"耦合的垂直环流结构.第二阶段台风与冷空气相结合形成的降水.因冷空气锋区南压而产生的锋生作用,一方面导致台风低压的不稳定能量进一步释放,另一方面使得低层的动力抬升作用增强.台风影响期间,地形对台风降水的增幅有一定的贡献.     

热带气旋"黄蜂"动热力特征演变的模拟分析

热带风暴"莲花"诱发粤东强降水成因分析

利用ncep1×1°再分析资料和卫星云图等常规资料,分析0903号热带风暴"莲花"对粤东造成的强降水进行综合分析,并着重分析22日"莲花"登陆福建后诱发粤东强对流降水的原因.分析表明,台风槽整体北抬后,对流中层偏北风和低层西南风的垂直切变形成的不稳定层结和不稳定能量的积累,有利于对流的发生发展;低空切变是触发此次粤东强降水的主要原因,低层辐合强度的变化对降水的增强有显著作用;低层水汽辐合为粤东强降水提供充足的水汽来源;各层次的散度变化、垂直速度跟强降水范围有较好的对应关系;地面中尺度辐合线与强对流天气落区有较好的对应关系.     

华东登陆热带气旋降水不同分布的对比分析

利用CMORPH降水资料，将热带气旋（TC）登陆后的降水分为路径左侧降水（L型）和右侧降水（R型）两类，并针对登陆华东地区TC的 L型和R型降水的大气环流场、环境水平风垂直切变以及台风环流内的动热力条件进行对比分析，结果表明:2005～2014年间登陆华东地区的20例TC中包括12例L型和8例R型。总体来看，大气环流因子对于登陆华东TC降水分布起主要作用。L型降水TC高层南亚高压主要呈纬向带状分布，在登陆过程中路径左侧维持偏东风高空辐散气流，中层西风槽偏东，西太平洋副热带高压（简称副高）偏南，环境水平风垂直切变指向西南。R型降水TC高层南亚高压断裂，呈经向分布。TC路径左侧风场较均匀，右侧东南风高空辐散气流明显。副高的位置偏北呈块状，同时环境水平风垂直切变指向东北，有利于路径右侧降水。台风环流内，低层冷暖平流输送以及水汽辐合与降水落区也有较好对应关系。L型TC低层暖平流的输送使TC西南象限低层增暖，大气稳定度降低。同时水汽辐合区也主要位于西南象限，有利于TC路径左侧降水。而R型TC副高位置偏北可将南侧的东南暖湿气流向台风环流更西部输送，东北象限维持暖平流，有利于路径右侧降水发生。     

1306号热带气旋“温比亚”非对称降水的环境场特征

利用常规气象观测资料、NCEP1°×1°逐6h全球格点资料以及区域自动站降水资料、FY-2E卫星云图与多普勒天气雷达拼图资料,分析2013年第6号热带气旋(TC)"温比亚"在广西造成的非对称降水的环境场特征。结果表明,受副热带高压西南侧稳定而深厚的东南气流引导,"温比亚"西北行深入到广西中部,有利于广西出现较大范围暴雨。200hPa上TC流出气流的中心偏于其中心的南侧,为降水不对称分布提供了动力背景;TC风场分布明显不对称,导致涡度、散度动力场结构呈不对称分布;低层辐合区主要分布在TC中心南侧,整层水汽通量辐合中心位于TC中心南侧,从而使暴雨集中在TC中心南侧。环境风垂直切变矢量指向TC移动路径的左侧,有利于TC移动路径左侧出现强的对流及降水,结合水汽辐合条件,可将其作为TC暴雨落区预报的一个判据。相对湿度(RH)呈均匀分布,假相当位温(θse)呈准对称分布,表明TC降水的非对称分布主要由动力因子而非热力因子引起。     

OBSERVATIONAL ANALYSIS OF ASYMMETRIC DISTRIBUTION OF CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH TROPICAL CYCLONES “CHANCHU” AND “PRAPIROON” MAKING LANDFALL ALONG THE SOUTH CHINA COAST

Observational data of mesoscale surface weather stations and weather radars of Guangdong province are employed to analyze the asymmetric distribution of convection prior to, during and after landfall for tropical cyclones of Chanchu and Prapiroon making landfall on the south China coast in 2006. The results showed that strong convection is located in the eastern and northern sectors of the landfalling Chanchu and Prapiroon, namely in the front and right portions of the TC tracks, for a period of time starting from 12 h prior to landfall to 6 h after it. Their convection also had distinct differences in the vertical direction. The analysis indicated that although the landfall of Chanchu and Prapiroon has the same asymmetric distribution of convection, the causes are not exactly the same. The asymmetric distribution of convection in the case of Chanchu is mainly correlated with the impacts of a strong environmental vertical wind shear, low-level horizontal wind shear, and low-level convergence and divergence. In the case of Prapiroon, however, the asymmetric distribution of convection is mainly associated with the impacts of low-level convergence and divergence.     

华东登陆台风的对流非对称结构分析

利用FY-2气象卫星的TBB资料对登陆华东地区的台风进行了对流非对称结构的分析。不同象限的对流分析显示,在台风登陆的-24—6 h过程中,其南侧的对流始终强于北侧,西侧的对流在登陆至8 h之前强于东侧,之后两者的对流相对强弱发生变化。台风对流的非对称分布,一部分是由于环境垂直风切变和台风移动造成的,还有一部分是由于台风登陆过程相关象限对流受限引起的。此外,华东沿海的地形抬升作用也有利于台风东侧对流的产生和加强。对比华南登陆台风的非对称对流分布特点,发现导致两者明显不同的原因主要在于台风登陆过程的路径与海岸线的相对夹角,以及台风东侧的不同地形。     

Distribution of convection associated with tropical cyclones making landfall along the South China coast

Summary This study examines the convection distribution associated with 18 TCs that made landfall along the South China coast during 1995 and 2005. Cloud-top temperatures from high-resolution satellite imageries of the Geosynchronous Meteorological Satellite 5 are used as proxy of strong convection. It is found that convection tends to be enhanced on the western side of the TC as it makes landfall in 10 of the cases, in agreement with the conclusion of some previous studies. Four cases have stronger convection on the eastern side. This “deviation” from the general rule appears to be related to the TCs being more slow-moving or their interaction of the TC with another land surface prior to its making landfall along the South China coast. For the remaining cases in which no significant asymmetries in convection can be identified, the vertical wind shear appears to enhance convection on the east side.     

ASYMMETRIC DISTRIBUTION OF CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH TROPICAL CYCLONES MAKING LANDFALL ON THE EAST CHINA COAST

The asymmetric distribution of convection associated with tropical cyclones making landfall on the east China coast is studied with black-body temperature (TBB) data from Fengyun-2 (FY-2) geostationary weather satellite. The convection in various quadrants of the TCs is examined for the period of -24 to 6 h relative to landfall. The convection to the southern side of the TCs was much more intense than that to the northern side during the whole landfall period. The convection to the western side of the TCs was stronger than that to the eastern side for the time -8 h before and at the landfall. After landfall, the situation reverses. The asymmetric convection of the TCs was partly due to the vertical wind shear and storm motion, and partly because the process of landfall restrained the convection in relevant quadrants. Besides, the orographic uplift along the east of China was favorable to the enhancement of convection in the eastern side of the TCs. From the characteristics of convective asymmetry of the TCs landing on the south and east of China, it is known that their main difference might be the included angle between the TC path and the coastline as well as the terrain along the coast.     

Convective Asymmetries Associated with Tropical Cyclone Landfall： β-Plane Simulations

The physical processes associated with changes in the convective structure of an idealized tropical cyclone (TC) during landfall on a beta-plane were studied using the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University--National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model, version 3 (MM5). The simulation results suggested that the suppression of moisture supply and increased friction acted to enhance the convection from the left and front quadrants of the TC to the front and right of the TC during different periods of landfall. When surface moisture flux was turned off, convection in other parts of the quadrant was clearly suppressed and the total rainfall was reduced. When surface friction was increased, precipitation showed a marked increase after the TC made landfall. Wetter air at low and intermediate levels, and drier air at high levels around the onshore side of the coastline led to a high value of convective available potential energy (CAPE). Consequently, convection was enhanced immediately downstream of this area when the surface moisture flux was cut off. When surface friction was increased, the physical process was similar prior to landfall. After landfall, increased convergence at the onshore side of the land resulted in enhanced convection in front of the TC. Consistent with previous findings, our results suggest that during landfall the TC structure changes from one of thermodynamic symmetry to asymmetry due to differential moisture flux between the land and sea surface. The asymmetry of the thermodynamic structure, which can be explained by the distribution of CAPE, causes an asymmetric rainfall structure.     

台风“珍珠”登陆期间动量通量的多尺度分析

利用台风"珍珠"登陆前后的近地层湍流观测资料,分析了该台风经过观测场地前后地面气象要素的变化及其动量通量特征。结果表明,台风"珍珠"经过观测场地前后的近地层气象要素发生了急剧的变化,并且在台风前部存在强的中尺度对流系统,反映在风速能谱密度结构上,频率f在3×10-4~2×10-3Hz之间的中尺度信号对能谱的贡献比平稳天气形势下的能谱贡献大很多,尤其是顺风方向风速的能谱密度的峰值与湍流信号的峰值相当;动量通量分析结果表明,台风中心经过观测场地的前后三小时,近地层通量以向下输送的中尺度通量为主,湍流通量的贡献相对于中尺度通量较小,也是向下输送的;而在其他时段,近地层通量主要以向上输送的湍流通量为主,中尺度通量量值很小,可以忽略。     

登陆台湾岛热带气旋强度和结构变化的统计分析

利用1949—2008年共60年的《台风年鉴》、《热带气旋年鉴》资料及CMA-STI热带气旋最佳路径数据集,2001—2008年美国联合台风警报中心(JTWC)热带气旋尺度相关资料及日本气象厅(JMA)的TBB资料,统计分析西北太平洋(包括南海)热带气旋(TC)在登陆台湾过程中强度和结构变化的基本特征,主要结论有:(1)TC登陆台湾时强度为台风及以上级别的样本数占总样本数约60%,主要出现在6—9月,东部登陆TC的强度一般比在西部登陆的强;(2)大部分TC在岛上维持6 h左右,登陆时最大风速≤5级和强度为超强台风的TC穿越台湾岛时移动比较缓慢;(3)126个登陆台湾的TC样本过岛后近中心海平面气压平均增加5.61 hPa,近中心最大风速平均减小3.58 m/s,在台湾东部地区登陆TC的衰减率比在西部登陆的大3倍左右;(4)TC在登陆台湾前6 h至离岛后6 h期间其8级和10级风圈半径均明显减小,TC形状略呈长轴为NE-SW向的椭圆状,而其最大风速的半径却逐渐增大;(5)TBB分析结果显示,TC登陆台湾前,其外围对流主要出现在南侧和西侧,结构不对称,登陆以后,TC北部及东部的对流显著发展,外围结构区域对称;但中心附近的强对流则从登陆前6 h开始逐渐减弱消失。表明TC穿越台湾过程中内核结构松散、强度减弱。     

登陆热带气旋路径和强度预报的效益评估初步研究

近年来有关热带气旋(TC)灾情的评估指标和方法的研究取得明显进展,但较少涉及TC预报对减少灾害损失的贡献(即效益)分析。基于中央气象台的TC实时路径和强度预报,针对登陆中国大陆的TC,初步分析了TC的路径和强度预报误差与其造成的直接经济损失之间的可能关系,并在此基础上建立了包含TC路径和强度预报误差的TC直接经济损失的预估模型。TC登陆前后24 h的路径和强度预报误差与TC所致直接经济损失均呈正相关关系;对于单个登陆TC而言,若24 h TC路径预报误差每减小1 km可减少因灾直接经济损失约0.97亿元,若强度预报每减小1 m/s可减少因灾直接经济损失约3.8亿元(以2014年为基准年)。可见,提高TC路径和强度预报精度对于减灾的效益巨大,且当前尤以提高强度预报能力的效益为佳。      

FACTORS AFFECTING THE TRACK OF TROPICAL CYCLONES AFTER LANDFALL IN EASTERN CHINA

The correlation and composite analysis are carried out in this paper to study major factors affecting the track of tropical cyclones (TCs) after their landfall in the east of China. The mid-tropospheric environmental steering flow is found to dominate the movement of a TC even after landfall, with the inertia and Coriolis force two other subordinates. A key region is discovered covering the east of China and Yellow Sea, in which the environmental flow significantly affects the movement of TCs making landfall in this part of China. When the subtropical high in this region strengthens and extends westward, accompanied by northward shrink of the westerly trough, the TC tends to move westward after landfall and disappear inland. However, when the subtropical high in this region weakens and shrinks eastward, accompanied by southward push of the westerly trough, the TC tends to recurve after landfall and re-enter the sea at a location to the north of the site of landfall. The environment before the landfall of a TC has little impact on its post-landfall track, which is sensitive to the environmental change 12 – 24 hours after landfall. A 6-hour lag is found between the environmental change and the movement of a TC after landfall.     

影响热带气旋路径的敏感性试验与研究

针对热带气旋观测中的敏感区域问题,用数值模拟的方法,以GRAPES-TCM为试验模式,对登陆中国的2个热带气旋“派比安”与“圣帕”进行了敏感性试验,并通过模拟其他4个热带气旋路径对试验结果进行了验证.结果显示,初始场的不确定性导致了热带气旋路径的不确定性,但初始场中涡旋场的变化对路径几乎没有影响,环境场中位于涡旋外、距...
