夏季青藏高原地区水汽向平流层的等熵绝热和非绝热传输的气候学特征及其与落基山地区的对比

夏季亚洲季风区是对流层向平流层物质输送的主要通道,其对平流层水汽的变化有重要贡献。以往的研究表明亚洲季风区向平流层的水汽传输主要在青藏高原及周边地区。本文利用多年平均的逐日ERAi、MERRA再分析数据和微波临边观测仪（Microwave Limb Sounder,MLS）数据,首先对比分析夏季青藏高原周边上空水汽的分布特征,再利用再分析资料分析了对流层—平流层水汽传输的特征。结果表明:青藏高原周边特定的等熵面和对流层顶结构分布有利于水汽向平流层的绝热输送;在南亚高压的东北侧,从青藏高原到中太平洋地区,340~360 K层次存在最为显著的水汽向平流层的纬向等熵绝热输送通道,7~8月平均输送强度可达约7×103 kg s-1。此外,在伊朗高原及南亚高压的西部,350~360 K层次也存在一支水汽向平流层的经向等熵绝热输送通道,但强度相对较弱（约2.5×103 kg s-1）。在青藏高原南侧370~380 K层次存在强的水汽向平流层的非绝热输送,主要由深对流和大尺度上升运动引起,7~8月平均输送强度约0.4×103 kg s-1。落基山以东到大西洋西部,350~360 K层次存在水汽向平流层的纬向等熵绝热输送通道,但强度也弱得多（约2.5×103 kg s-1）。     

积云对流参数化方案对热带大气季节内振荡模拟的影响

本文利用中国科学院大气物理研究所大气科学和地球流体力学数值模拟国家重点实验室（LASG）的大气环流谱模式的最新版本SAMIL2.2.3系统分析了积云对流参数化方案对热带大气季节内振荡（ISO）模拟的影响.结果表明该模式的三种积云对流参数化方案都能模拟出热带地区气候平均季节内振荡（CISO）时空演变的基本特征;其中Tiedtke方案相比于Manabe方案和Zhang-McFarlane方案,模拟出的CISO与观测更为接近.而SAMIL2.2.3模式对ISO年际变化部分（TISO）的模拟结果显示尽管SAMIL2.2.3相对于之前的版本对Tiedtke方案和Zhang-McFarlane方案针对不同问题做了必要调整,但三种积云参数化方案中只有Zhang-McFarlane方案能够模拟出27～50天TISO模态的东传特征.另外,SAMIL2.2.3与其较早版本SAMIL2.08中的Manabe方案完全相同,物理过程的其他部分如辐射方案和气溶胶条件有所调整,但仅后者能模拟出100E以西热带27～50天TISO模态的东传特征.因此,模式发展过程中物理参数化方案的改进并非在每一方面上都产生正面效果.动力框架和物理过程,以及不同物理过程之间的协调发展是改进模式的重要途径.     

南亚高压的不稳定和位涡纬向非对称强迫对印度夏季风爆发的影响

基于位涡（PV）理论并运用1998年个例分析,本文研究了非绝热加热弓I发的南亚高压不稳定增长及其对印度季风爆发的影响,探讨印度季风爆发的主要原因．1998年印度季风的爆发与前期徘徊于阿拉伯海南部的热带低压北移发展有关,而高低空涡旋系统锁相斜压发展是中低层热带低压迅速北移发展的主要原因．研究表明孟加拉湾季风和南海季风爆发后,在东亚和东南亚强降水释放的潜热加热激发下,南亚高压不稳定增强,位涡（PV）纬向非对称强迫发展,高压东侧北风弓l导高纬度高PV南下,在平流作用下可达高压西北侧,其上不断有高PV涡旋向西输送,是春末夏初阿拉伯海高层PV异常的主要来源．355K上从南亚高压东北侧平流到阿拉伯海上空的高PV涡强迫出气旋性环流,使该处南亚高压产生气旋性弯曲,辐散增强,在高层形成抽吸作用．低空原位于阿拉伯海低纬度的涡旋向北移动,高层高位涡向下向南伸展,在其强迫下,低涡系统出现斜压不稳定发展,最终增长成为印度季风爆发涡旋,导致印度夏季风爆发．研究还表明,阿拉伯半岛对流层中层副热带高压的变化是导致印度季风爆发的另一重要因素．季风爆发前,阿拉伯半岛维持强感热加热,对流层中层春季位于阿拉伯海上空的副高向西撤退至阿拉伯半岛上并迅速增强,位涡纬向非对称强迫逐渐发展;副高东侧的北风引导高纬度高PV南下,在阿拉伯海形成一高PV槽,有助于低纬热带低压北移正压发展为印度季风爆发涡旋．由此表明,与孟加拉湾季风爆发和南海季风爆发不同,印度夏季风爆发是发生在特定的高、中、低层充分耦合的环流背景下的、受动力和热力共同驱动的特殊过程．     

WRF模式对青藏高原南坡夏季降水的模拟分析

利用中尺度数值模式WRF研究积云对流参数化方案、网格嵌套技术和模式分辨率对陡峭的青藏高原南坡夏季降水模拟的影响。对2006年7月青藏高原南坡地区降水的模拟分析表明:降水对积云对流参数化方案的选择很敏感,不同方案模拟的结果差异显著,采用Grell-Devenyi质量通量方案时的模拟效果优于其他方案。在此基础上,通过5种试验方案比较发现,使用积云对流参数化方案、提高模式分辨率和应用网格嵌套技术能改善降水强度和空间分布的模拟,组合使用时模拟的降水与观测资料更接近。它们均能改进风场,使得水汽的输送和辐合过程的模拟更加准确;还能影响大气的垂直加热状态,导致不同的对流发生,使垂直速度的分布趋于合理。未使用积云对流参数化方案时,大气湿度偏小,而模式分辨率和网格嵌套技术对大气湿度的影响不大。      

SAMIL模式中Tiedtke 积云对流方案对热带降水模拟的影响

目前, 大多数全球耦合模式及大气环流模式在降水模拟中普遍存在不同程度的“热带偏差”问题, 中国科学院大气物理研究所大气科学和地球流体力学数值模拟国家重点实验室所发展的全球大气环流谱模式SAMIL-R42L26也存在这一现象, 主要表现在SPCZ (南太平洋辐合区) 降水过强且过分东伸、 赤道附近降水偏少等方面。本文通过修改SAMIL中的积云对流方案有效地削弱了这一偏差, 并进一步探讨其原因, 发现对流方案修改后, 改变了对流层低层至地面的温度分布状态, 进而影响了风速及散度场的模拟, 最终通过垂直速度的调整反作用于对流过程。比较修改前后对流过程云底质量通量, 发现修改后的方案主要通过削弱浅对流来提高热带降水的模拟性能。     

New evidences on the climatic causes of the formation of the spring persistent rains over southeastern China

The spring persistent rains (SPR) over southeastern China (SEC) are a unique synoptic and climatic phenomenon in East Asia. A former study has found that the southwesterly flow which lies on the southeastern flank of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) is one of the deflected westerly flows of the TP, and it is suggested to be the direct climatic cause of SPR. This study found that the southwesterly flow is also highly correlated with the sensible heating of the southeastern TP in interannual variability, in addition to having a high correlation in seasonal variability. These facts suggest that the thermal forcing of the TP is another important climatic cause of SPR. Numerical sensitivity experiments further prove that the mechanical and thermal forcings of the TP are the climatic causes of the formation of the SPR. On the other hand, the Nanling Mountains and Wuyi Mountains (NWM) over southeastern China not only increase the SPR precipitation amount evidently, but also make the SPR rain belt move to the south by blocking the strong southwesterly flow.     

An Updated Coupled Model for Land-Atmosphere Interaction. Part II： Simulations of Biological Processes

In Part I, the authors succeeded in coupling the spectral atmospheric model （SAMIL_R42L9） developed at the State Key Laboratory of Numerical Modeling for Atmospheric Sciences and Geophysical Fluid Dynamics, Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences （LASG/IAP/CAS） with the land surface model, Atmosphere-Vegetation-Interaction-Model （AVIM） and analyzed the climate basic state and land surface physical fluxes simulated by R42_AVIM. In this Part Ⅱ, we further evaluate the simulated results of the biological processes, including leaf area index （LAI）, biomass and net primary productivity （NPP） etc. Results indicate that R42_AVIM can simulate the global distribution of LAI and has good consistency with the monthly mean LAI provided by Max Planck Institute for Meteorology. The simulated biomass corresponds reasonably to the vegetation classifications. In addition, the simulated annual mean NPP has a consistent distribution with the data provided by IGBP and MODIS, and compares well with the work in literature. This land-atmosphere coupled model will offer a new experiment tool for the research on the two-way interaction between climate and biosphere, and the global terrestrial ecosystem carbon cycle.     

NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF EFFECTS OF LAND SURFACE PROCESSES ON CLIMATE——IMPLEMENTING OF SSiB IN IAP/LASG AGCM AND ITS PERFORMANCE

This is an investigation of exchanges of energy and water between the atmosphere and thevegetated continents,and the impact of and mechanisms for land surface-atmosphere interactionson hydrological cycle and general circulation by implementing the Simplified Simple Biosphere(SSiB)model in a modified version of IAP/LASG global spectral general model(L9R15 AGCM).This study reveals that the SSiB model produces a better partitioning of the land surface heat andmoisture fluxes and its diurnal variations,and also gives the transport of energy and water amongatmosphere,vegetation and soil explicitly and realistically.Thus the coupled SSiB-AGCM runslead to the more conspicuous improvement in the simulated circulation,precipitation,mean watervapor content and its transport.particularly in the Asian monsoon region in the real world thanCTL-AGCM runs.It is also pointed out that both the implementation of land surfaceparameterizations and the variations in land surface into the GOALS model have greatly improvedhydrological balance over continents and have a significant impact on the simulated climate.particularly over the massive continents.Improved precipitation recycling model was employed to verify the mechanisms for landsurface hydrology parameterizations on hydrological cycle and precipitation climatology in AGCM.It can be argued that the recycling precipitation rate is significantly reduced,particularly in the aridand semi-arid region of the boreal summer hemisphere,coincident with remarkable reduction inevapotranspiration over the continental area.Therefore the coupled SSiB-AGCM runs reduce thebias of too much precipitation over land surface in most AGCMs,thereby bringing the simulatedprecipitation closer to observations in many continental regions of the world than CTL-AGCMruns.

CONSERVATION OF MOIST POTENTIAL VORTICITY AND DOWN-SLIDING SLANTWISE VORTICITY DEVELOPMENT

An accurate form of the moist potential vorticity(MPV)equation was deduced from a completeset of primitive equations.It was shown that motion in a saturated atmosphere without diabatic heat-ing and friction conserves moist potential vorticity.This property was then used to investigate the de-velopment of vertical vorticity in moist baroclinic processes.Results show that in the framework ofmoist isentropic coordinate,vorticity development can result from reduction of convective stability,orconvergence,or latent heat release at isentropic surfaces.However,the application of the usual analy-sis of moist isentropic potential vorticity is limited due to the declination of moist isentropic surfaces.and a theory of development based on z-coordinate and p-coordinate was then proposed.According tothis theory,whether the atmosphere is moist-symmetrically stable or unstable,or convective stable orunstable,the reduction of convective stability,the increase of the vertical shear of horizontal wind ormoist baroclinity may result in the increase of vertical vorticity,so long as the moist isentropic surfaceis slantwise.The larger the declination of the moist isentropic surface,the more vigorous the develop-ment of vertical vorticity.In a region with a monsoon front to the north and the warm and moist airto the south,or by the north of the front,the moist isentropes are very steep.The is the region mostfavorable for development of vorticities and formation of torrential rain.For a case of persistent torrential rain occurring in the middle and lower reaches of theChangjiang and Huaihe Rivers in June 11-15,1991,moist potential vorticity analysis,especially theisobaric analysis of its vertical and horizontal components,i.e.MPV1 and MPV2,respectively,iseffective for identifying synoptic systems not only in middle and high latitudes,but also in low lati-tudes and in the lower troposphere.It can serve as a powerful tool for the diagnosis and prediction oftorrential rain.
