夏季青藏高原低涡结构的动力学研究

应用卫星云图资料分析了两例夏季青藏高原低涡发展过程及其结构演变,揭示出高原低涡结构特征的若干观测事实。在此基础上借鉴研究类热带气旋低涡的方法,将暖性青藏高原低涡视为受加热和摩擦强迫作用,且满足热成风平衡的轴对称涡旋系统,通过求解柱坐标系中的线性化涡旋模式,得出边界层动力作用下低涡的流函数解,重点讨论了地面热源强迫和边界层动力"抽吸泵"对高原低涡流场结构的作用。研究认为,由于边界层加热和摩擦的共同作用,高原低涡的温度场呈暖心结构。热源强迫的边界层低涡的散度场存在一个动力变性高度,该高度的位置与边界层顶高度有关。通过边界层动力抽吸作用,当边界层顶有气旋性涡度时,能引起边界层低涡的水平辐合运动和随高度增强的上升运动,并可加强低涡的切向流场;如果低涡的中心区域为"内冷外热"型加热分布,则热源强迫的低涡中心区域下层为辐散气流和随时间减弱的切向流场,上层为辐合气流和随时间增强的切向流场,并伴有下沉运动,从而有利于形成涡眼(或空心)结构,在卫星云图上表现为低涡中心为少云(或无云)区,即这类高原低涡具有与台风类似的眼结构,因而可视为类热带气旋涡旋的新例证。最后通过高原低涡的简化模型对低涡所含的波动进行了分析和讨论,结果表明:高原低涡中既含有涡旋Rossby波,又含有惯性重力波,即低涡波动呈现涡旋Rossby-惯性重力混合波特征。

四川盆地早古生代构造-热演化特征

四川盆地位于扬子板块西缘,是中国重要的含油气盆地之一,在震旦纪—早奥陶世处于裂陷特征的被动大陆边缘阶段。利用地球动力学理论在岩石圈尺度探讨盆地构造-热演化特征,恢复早古生代热历史,为盆地生烃状态、生烃期次等研究提供重要热参数。首先,利用回剥技术得到盆地构造沉降史,并作为构造-热演化模拟的目标函数;然后,基于二维多期拉张模型,分别与晚震旦世、寒武纪和奥陶纪等3个时期构造沉降量拟合得到3期拉张系数,揭示岩石圈底界和温度场的演化以及基底热流随时间的演化特征。模拟结果显示:在岩石圈拉张作用下,软流圈上涌形成热扰动,震旦纪时期基底热流值略有升高,其中高值主要分布在盆地西北与西南,而川东北受到的影响最小;热扰动在寒武纪有所减弱,至奥陶纪时期基本消失,盆地热流值呈缓慢下降趋势;盆地基底热流在早古生代始终在52~59mW·m-2范围内。

凝结潜热在高原涡东移发展不同阶段作用的初步研究

为探讨潜热加热对高原涡发展的作用并加深对水汽与高原涡垂直结构及发展变化关系的认识。应用NCEP(1°×1°)再分析资料,通过大气热源诊断计算,分析2005年5月1~4日和2005年6月23~28日两次高原涡的垂直结构及生命史特征。通过比湿、涡度、Q2等诊断量的对比分析发现:高原涡在东移发展过程中,涡柱内水汽含量上升、涡度明显加强,水汽、涡度上传明显,两者在垂直方向的大值中心有较好的同步性。高原涡未下坡前,水汽通过凝结释放潜热的方式加热大气,高原涡暖中心结构明显。高原涡下坡过程中,其涡度和垂直速度均整层陡增,高原涡区域水汽含量下降,潜热加热作用减弱,暖中心结构消失。因此,大气中水汽的含量和垂直分布状况直接影响凝结潜热作用的发挥,凝结潜热对高原涡发展作用主要表现在高原涡下坡前和下坡后期,是高原涡下坡后是否继续东移发展的重要影响因素。     

The formation of wind curl in the marine atmosphere boundary layer over the East China Sea Kuroshio in spring

Various data are used to investigate the characteristics of the surface wind field and rainfall on the East China Sea Kuroshio (ESK) in March and April, 2011. In March, the wind speed maximum shows over the ESK front (ESKF) in the 10 meter wind field, which agrees with the thermal wind effect. A wind curl center is generated on the warm flank of the ESKF. The winds are much weaker in April, so is the wind curl. A rainband exists over the ESKF in both the months. The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model is used for further researches. The winds on the top of the marine atmosphere boundary layer (MABL) indicate that in March, a positive wind curl is generated in the whole MABL over the warm flank of the ESKF. The thermal wind effect forced by the strong SST gradient overlying the background wind leads to strong surface northeasterly winds on the ESKF, and a positive shearing vorticity is created over the warm flank of the ESKF to generate wind curl. In the smoothed sea surface temperature experiment, the presence of the ESKF is responsible for the strong northeast winds in the ESKF, and essential for the distribution of the rainfall centers in March, which confirms the mechanism above. The same simulation is made for April, 2011, and the responses from the MABL become weak. The low background wind speed weakens the effect of the thermal wind, thus no strong Ekman pumping is helpful for precipitation. There is no big difference in rainfall between the control run and the smooth SST run. Decomposition of the wind vector shows that local wind acceleration induced by the thermal wind effect along with the variations in wind direction is responsible for the pronounced wind curl/divergence over the ESKF.     

CHARACTERISTICS OF INTRASEASONAL VARIATIONS IN THE MIXED LAYER OF "WARM POOL" AREAS

Observational data obtained during the TOGA-COARE IOP in the "warm pool" area of the West-ern Tropical Pacific were used to analyze some characteristics of the intraseasonal variations in the mixedlayer. The influence of westerly burst and rainfall on SST, salinity. and mixed layer depth are discussed.There are two pairs of counteracting processes in the "warm pool" mixed layer: (1) The increase of mixedlayer depth caused by local westerly bursts and the decrease of mixed layer depth caused by larger scaleeasterly relaxation;(2) the vertical mixing by local wind and the strong stratification due to rainfall in themixed layer. Some possible mechanisms through the interactions between the intraseasonal time scale varia-tions of the oceanic mixed layer and atmospheric low frequency oscillations are revealed.     

The effect of the East China Sea Kuroshio Front on the marine atmospheric boundary layer

Various satellite data, JRA-25 (Japan reanalysis of 25 years) reanalyzed data and WRF (Weather Research Forecast) model are used to investigate the in situ effect of the ESKF (East China Sea Kuroshio Front) on the MABL (marine atmospheric boundary layer). The intensity of the ESKF is most robust from January to April in its annual cycle. The local strong surface northerly/northeasterly winds are observed right over the ESKF in January and in April and the wind speeds decrease upward in the MABL. The thermal wind effect that is derived from the baroclinic MABL forced by the strong SST gradient contributes to the strong surface winds to a large degree. The convergence zone existing along the warm flank of the ESKF is stronger in April than in January corresponding to the steeper SST (sea surface temperature) gradient. The collocations of the cloud cover maximum and precipitation maximum are basically consistent with the convergence zone of the wind field. The clouds develop higher (lower) in the warm (cold) flank of the ESKF due to the less (more) stable stratification in the MABL. The lowest clouds are observed in April on the cold flank of the ESKF and over the Yellow Sea due to the existence of the pronounced temperature inversion. The numerical experiments with smoothed SST are consistent with the results from the ovservations.     

Effect of low-frequency Rossby wave on thermal structure of the upper southwestern tropical Indian Ocean

We investigate the influence of low-frequency Rossby waves on the thermal structure of the upper southwestern tropical Indian Ocean (SWTIO) using Argo profiles, satellite altimetric data, sea surface temperature, wind field data and the theory of linear vertical normal mode decomposition. Our results show that the SWTIO is generally dominated by the first baroclinic mode motion. As strong downwelling Rossby waves reach the SWTIO, the contribution of the second baroclinic mode motion in this region can be increased mainly because of the reduction in the vertical stratification of the upper layer above thermocline, and the enhancement in the vertical stratification of the lower layer under thermocline also contributes to it. The vertical displacement of each isothermal is enlarged and the thermal structure of the upper level is modulated, which is indicative of strong vertical mixing. However, the cold Rossby waves increase the vertical stratification of the upper level, restricting the variability related to the second baroclinic mode. On the other hand, during decaying phase of warm Rossby waves, Ekman upwelling and advection processes associated with the surface cyclonic wind circulation can restrain the downwelling processes, carrying the relatively colder water to the near-surface, which results in an out-of-phase phenomenon between sea surface temperature anomaly (SSTA) and sea surface height anomaly (SSHA) in the SWTIO.     

秋季低纬太平洋海温异常激发的准PNA型

本文应用统计方法讨论6～11月的准PNA型,得到如下结论: 秋季,低纬中太平洋热源异常,能发出位置与PNA型相类似的遥相关型——准PNA型。这种遥相关型呈二维Rossby波列,具有相当正压结构,在西风带中沿固定波导向极向东传播,从而影响中太平洋和北美天气。 夏季,由于热源位置的差异,则不存在与PNA型相类似的遥相关型。从而认为热源的扰动在遥相关型的成因上起着举足轻重的作用。     

南风气流对四川盆地西部突发性暴雨影响的数值试验

用η模式对１９９５年８月２４日四川盆地西部的突发性暴雨，进行了数值模拟和南风减速的数值试验。由模拟和试验比较分析得出以下几点认识：１．对流层低层的云南、贵州到四川南部南风气流的加大，对四川盆地西部的暴雨区，特别是大暴雨区的扩大和强度的增强起着重要作用。２．由南风气流的加强造成暴雨加强的动、热力机制主要是，使暴雨区及其附近区域上空，对流层的中、低层流场的辐合、上升运动加强；对流层的低层形成水汽通量的辐合区。３．对流层低层南风气流的加强，可影响对流层中层的暖湿程度减弱，从而加强了对流层低－中层内的对流性不稳定
