利用TBB资料对西太平洋副热带高压特征的分析和描述

利用卫星TBB资料和500 hPa位势高度场资料, 分析了西太平洋副热带高压(下称西太副高)的北进及南撤特征。结果表明: 西太平洋副热带地区的TBB场呈带状分布, >275K的TBB区随季节的变化从1月至12月表现为先北跳又南落之势, 它与西太副高的北跳和南落同步, 其大值区可以表征西太副高的范围。西太副高脊线(500 hPa上的u=0 线)与TBB大值区轴线的走向基本一致。不同季节可以不同的TBB值来描述西太副高。同时指出, 以TBB大值区所描述的西太副高与雨区的配置较588 gpdm等高线与雨区的配置要好, 并且可以避免588 gpdm等高线所产生的假象。另外, 每3 h TBB场的分析可为暴雨的逐3 h预报提供参考。     

“96.8”暴雨过程的尺度分离动能方程的诊断

用尺度分离的动能平衡方程,对1996年8月3～5日华北地区台风暴雨过程雨区内的动能制造和转换进行诊断。结果表明:动能在暴雨发展过程逐渐减小,动能转换项也是逐渐减小的。暴雨发生前,尺度相互作用制造项GKMS起最重要的作用,大尺度动能制造项次之,中尺度动能制造项消耗少量的动能;暴雨发生时,尺度相互作用和天气尺度运动仍制造动能,只是比发生前明显减少,中尺度运动由消耗动能转变为制造动能,动能转换主要来源于低层且数值明显减少;暴雨发生后,动能制造项数值仍为正,此时天气尺度动能制造最重要,但数值比前两阶段小,动能的转换主要出现于高层。可见,此次暴雨过程总动能的制造项一直为正,主要出现于高层,只是其制造量逐渐减小;动能转换是从低层向高层进行的,水平转换项起主要作用,是一种尺度减小的动能转换过程。     

爆发性发展台风附近次级环流的诊断分析

利用原始方程模式的Sawyer－Eliassen次级环流方程，对由5个爆发性发展的台风所合成的要素场进行了次级环流的诊断．结果表明，在各强迫项中，地转形变和非绝热加热强迫作用较大．大尺度加热主要加强中低层环沈，对流加热则主要加强中高层环流．台风爆发性发展前后，动力强迫和热力强迫的相对重要性不同．在台风爆发性发展时，非绝热加热强迫的相对重要性明显加大。     

“96.8”暴雨过程中不同尺度系统的相互作用

利用动能方程计算了天气尺度,次天气尺度的动能以及非线性相互作用的动能,分析了“９６．８”暴雨过程强降水时段的主要动力过程,结果表明：在暴雨系统中,存在着天气尺度和次天气尺度系统间的相互作用,天气尺度动能减小,次天气尺度动能增加,即对于次天气尺度系统而言,天气尺度系统是一个动能源,通过非线性相互作用,天气尺度系统把动能传递给次天气尺度系统,使暴雨系统得以发展。     

Characteristics of an Explosive Cyclone over Northeast China Revealed by Satellite Water Vapor Imagery

In this paper, an explosive cyclone (EC) that occurred over Northeast China in the spring of 2016 is studied by using 6.7 μm FY satellite water vapor (WV) imagery and NCEP (1°×1°) reanalysis data. Moreover, the evolutions of the upper-level jet stream (ULJ), the vertical motions, and the potential vorticity (PV) are analyzed in detail. Results show that different shapes of the WV image dark zones could reflect different stages of the EC. At the pre-explosion stage, a small dark zone and an S-shaped baroclinic leaf cloud can be found on the WV imagery. Then the dark zone expands and the leaf cloud grows into a comma-shaped cloud at the explosively developing stage. At the post-explosion stage, the dark zone brightens, and the spiral cloud forms. The whole process can be well described by the WV imagery. The dynamic dry band associated with the sinking motion and the ULJ can develop into the dry intrusion later, which is an important signal in forecasting the EC and should be paid attention to when analyzing the WV imagery. Furthermore, the mechanism is also analyzed in detail in this article. EC usually occurs in the left-exit region of the 200-hPa jet and the region ahead of the 500-hPa trough where there is significant positive vorticity advection (PVA). When the EC moves onto the sea surface, the decreased friction would favour the development of the EC. The upper-level PVA, the strong convergence at low level, and the divergence at high levels can maintain the strong updraft. Meanwhile, the high PV zone from the upper levels extends downward, approaching the cyclone. Together, they keep the cyclone deepening continuously.     

AN ANALYSIS OF THE APPLICABILITY OF FUZZY CLUSTERING IN ESTABLISHING AN INDEX FOR THE EVALUATION OF METEOROLOGICAL SERVICE SATISFACTION

An evaluation index is a prerequisite for scientific evaluation of a public meteorological service. This paper aims to explore a technical method for determining and screening evaluation indicators. Based on public satisfaction survey data obtained in Wafangdian (China) in 2010, this study investigates the suitability of the fuzzy clustering analysis method in establishing an evaluation index. Through quantitative analysis of multilayer fuzzy clustering of various evaluation indicators, correlation analysis indicates that if the results of clustering were identical for two evaluation indicators in the same sub-evaluation layer, then one indicator could be removed, or the two indicators merged. For evaluation indicators in different sub-evaluation layers, although clustering reveals attribute correlations, these indicators may not be substituted for one another. Analysis of the applicability of the fuzzy clustering method shows that it plays a certain role in the establishment and correction of an evaluation index.     

Impact of Dynamic and Thermal Forcing on the Intensity Evolution of the Vortices over the Tibetan Plateau in Boreal Summer

The Tibetan Plateau Vortex (TPV) is one of the main weather systems causing heavy rainfall over the Tibetan Plateau in boreal summer. Based on the second Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications (MERRA-2) reanalysis datasets provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), 8 cases of TPV over the Tibetan Plateau generated in June–August with a lifetime of 42 hours are composited and analyzed to reveal the impact of dynamic and thermal forcing on the intensity evolution of TPVs. The results are as follows. (1) The TPVs appear obviously at 500 hPa and the TPVs intensity (TPVI) shows an obvious diurnal variation with the strongest at 00LT and the weakest at 12LT (LT=UTC+6h). (2) A strong South Asia high at 200 hPa as well as a shrunken Western Pacific subtropical high at 500 hPa provide favorable conditions for the TPVI increasing. (3) The vorticity budget reveals that the divergence is indicative of the variation of TPVI. TPVI decreases when the convergence center at 500 hPa and the divergence center at 200 hPa lie in the east of the TPVs center and increases when both centers coincide with the TPVs center. (4) Potential vorticity (PV) increases with the enhancement of TPVI. The PV budget shows that the variation of TPVI is closely related to the diabatic heating over the Tibetan Plateau. The increased sensible heating and radiative heating in the boundary layer intensify the ascent and latent heating release. When the diabatic heating center rises to 400 hPa, it facilitates the development of TPVs.     

高层动力强迫对回流型华南暖区暴雨影响的个例研究

应用NCEP再分析资料,分析了2014年5月8—9日发生在华南的一次暖区暴雨过程,研究高层动力强迫对此次华南暖区暴雨的影响。此次暴雨过程发生在暖湿的西南气流中,无明显天气尺度锋面系统影响,属于华南暖区暴雨过程。根据中尺度对流系统(MCS)的生消发展特征,可以将其分为5月8日与9日两个阶段,第一阶段具有显著的回流型暖区暴雨的特征,主要研究该阶段。研究发现,高PV扰动沿对流层高层南亚高压东北侧的西北气流下滑东移,导致IPV正异常,其东侧的辐散气流显著发展,在高层辐散气流的抽吸作用下,上升运动首先从中上层发展起来。在过程发展前期,IPV正异常主要是由平流作用引起,且在其东侧诱发出南风异常,进而导致辐散气流发展。当降水发生后,潜热加热反馈作用使高层辐散气流进一步加强,此时,辐散增强是对流发展的结果。此外,低层浅薄偏东风是本次暖区暴雨发生的低层背景场,其与西南风气流汇合,提供有利的低层辐合条件。

基于集成综合评价法的气象服务满意度分析

气象服务满意度分析在公众气象服务满意度评价业务上起着非常关键的作用。针对我国31个省市的气象服务满意度现状,采用2010年全国公众气象服务评估调查数据,分别运用主成分分析法和熵值法进行分析,得到两种关于城市气象服务满意度的排序结果。但主成分分析法侧重考虑变量的相关性以及熵值法侧重考虑变量的不确定性,故将两种排序结果在通过一致性检验的基础上,运用集成综合评价法得到另外一种新的排序结果,介于以上两种结果之间。因此得到一个关于城市气象服务满意度的新认识,并给出提高气象服务满意度的建议。
