台风“卢碧”变性增强过程的诊断研究

利用日本气象厅JRA再分析资料和台风最佳路径资料以及TRMM降水资料,对0920号台风"卢碧"变性过程的环流形势、高低层热力异常和锋生锋消等特征进行了分析研究。结果表明,"卢碧"的变性是中高纬度冷空气入侵的结果,变性过程伴随着西风槽的东移,高空急流的加强以及西太平洋副热带高压的减弱东撤。低纬度暖湿气流及较大的正涡度异常气旋式卷入台风环流,并在其东北侧积聚产生大量降水,释放的凝结潜热有利于北侧脊的加强,使得高空急流进一步加强,使得台风中心气压进一步降低。锋生、强降水伴随的潜热释放以及气旋中心气压之间存在着正反馈效应是"卢碧"变性后得以增强再发展的主要原因。热成风涡度梯度的分布对"卢碧"的变性增强过程具有较好的指示意义。     

2000年两次沙尘暴天气过程的分析研究

本文根据探空资料（TTAA），利用数值模式的客观和诊断分析结果、高空气象探测数据处理系统（T－lnp图）及天气图进行天气形势、物理量场的定量分析及单站气象要素的演变分析等对2000年4月4－6日两次沙尘暴天气过程进行了分析。结果表明：两次沙尘暴过程的形成是由于生成于蒙古地区的蒙古气旋进入东北后强烈发展，在华北、东北、内蒙南部地区形成大范围的强西北风而引起的。地面锋线及高空槽后都为偏北大风区，强劲的空中风使沙尘迅速向前方扩展。地面锋线与850、700、500hPa槽线上、下位置重合较好，槽后各层均存在大风区及下沉运动区，二者配合有利于高层动量下传，形成地面辐散大风直接导致了沙尘暴的形成。陡峭的锋面使得锋前有强励的上升气流，将沙尘粒子源源不断地输送到高空，使地面和空中沙尘连成一体。利用高空气象探测数据处理系统对探空资料（TTAA报）处理的结果表明：整层大气比较稳定，对流不易发展。近地面大气较干燥，无法形成降水，疏松的沙土易被大风扬起，这也是沙尘暴形成的主要原因之一。     

Numerical Simulation of Extreme Sea Levels Using Location Specific High Resolution Model for Gujarat Coast of India

Although the frequency of tropical cyclones is less in the Arabian sea compared to that of the Bay of Bengal, there are several severe tropical cyclones which caused extensive damage along the Gujarat coast. In view of the high tidal range in the funnel-shaped gulfs of the Khambhat and the Kachch, it is very useful to study the surge response in these regions. There is always a possibility of abnormal rise of sea level when the occurrence of surge coincides with high tide, which may eventually cause inundation of vast stretches of shallow coastal areas. In view of this, a location specific fine resolution model is developed for the Gujarat coast. The east-west and north-south grid distances for the model are 5.1 km and 5.2 km, respectively. Several numerical experiments are carried out to compute the extreme sea levels using the wind stress forcings representative of 1982, 1996, and 1998 cyclones, which crossed this region. The model-computed extreme sea levels are in good agreement with the available observations.     

长江口及其邻近海区环流和温、盐结构动力学研究Ⅱ.环流的基本特征

利用POM模型,以研究海区的海面风应力、温度和盐度资料作为海面边界条件,以与外海界面处的温度和盐度资料作为侧向液边界条件,并考虑长江径流、台湾暖流和东海沿岸流的影响,对长江口及其邻近海区各季节的三维斜压环流和温、盐结构进行了数值模拟。环流的数值结果表明,冬季和秋季研究海区的水平环流主要由长江径流、东海沿岸流、台湾暖流、杭州湾环流和沿岸流与台湾暖流之间的气旋和反气旋涡构成;东海沿岸流与长江径流顺岸南下,随着自北往南岸界地形坡度的增大,其流幅变窄,流速增强;台湾暖流沿陡坡及其外缘蜿蜒北上,随着自南往北水深的变浅,其流幅由宽变窄继而又由窄变宽,流速却一直由强变弱。冬季和秋季海区纬度断面垂直环流的总趋势由近岸向外海流动,海底地形变化缓慢区离岸流产生波动,海底地形变化显著的陡坡区离岸流产生剧烈振荡而生成强升降流。春季和夏季研究海区的水平环流主要由长江径流与东海沿岸流汇合流、台湾暖流、杭州湾环流、舟山群岛附近及长江径流和东海沿岸流汇合流与台湾暖流之间的气旋和反气旋涡构成;长江径流和台湾暖流平行北上并在长江口以北产生顺时针偏转。由海区水平环流特征和变化趋势证实,春季长江冲淡水已开始向东北偏转,夏季冲淡水的偏转程度、伸展距离和扩展范围都更甚于春季;春季在长江口近岸存在弱上升流,夏季长江口外的陡坡区出现下降流,而长江口以北和以南的陡坡区出现上升流。     

Coupled process-based cyclone surge simulation for the Bay of Bengal

We have developed a wind-wave-surge coupled process-based numerical model for simulating storm surge, consisting of a meso-scale atmospheric model (MM5), a third-generation spectral wave model (WW3) and a coastal ocean model (POM). We introduced an additional sea surface shear stress by wave dissipation into the model to consider the process of energy transfer from winds to currents through whitecap breaking. We demonstrate the importance of this energy transfer path through a hindcast simulation of a cyclone surge in April, 1991 in the Bay of Bengal: it helps generate mean current and has wave effects on wind-induced current fields in extremely shallow water areas.

系统性研究东北暴雨将提高对东北灾害性天气的认识,有利于加深对中国暴雨的全面研究。对我国气象工作者在东北暴雨研究方面的工作进行了综述,并回顾了影响东北暴雨的几类主要天气系统,分别为气旋、台风、冷涡,着重回顾了在过去几十年中东北冷涡暴雨方面研究的进展。指出目前待解决的问题是：影响东北地区台风暴雨强度、分布及转向问题;东北冷涡的内部结构特征及其发生发展的物理机制、东北冷涡下中尺度对流系统的结构特征与暴雨的关系;引发东北地区强暴雨过程的水汽源地等问题。这些问题需要通过今后深入和细致的加密观测分析研究,以及利用长时间卫星遥感观测资料和雷达资料的论证才能逐渐认识清楚。     

邕江洪水的特征及其气候成因研究

利用邕江洪峰水位、年最高水位资料及邕江流域气象测站逐月降雨量资料,对邕江洪水的特征进行分析表明,洪水多数发生在华南后汛期7～9月,并与流域夏季降雨量密切相关。利用NCEP/NCAR再分析资料以及NOAA卫星观测的OLR资料,分析邕江洪水形成的天气气候条件,研究结果表明:热带气旋影响是邕江发生洪水的主要原因。当西太平洋副热带高压位置偏北,邕江流域易受热带辐合带(ITCZ)影响,对流活跃,热带气旋活动频繁,此时邕江易发生洪水;地形对邕江洪水的形成有较重要的作用;邕江洪水易发生在赤道东太平洋海温为负距平的条件下。分析了邕江洪水气候成因。     

新疆阿勒泰地区一次罕见暴雪天气过程分析

2010年1月6—7日阿勒泰地区普降暴雪造成罕见雪灾。通过对常规资料、ECWMF客观分析和T639物理量产品00、03时及06时资料、FY2E红外云图及其黑体亮温分析,对暴雪过程及其成因进行诊断分析。结果表明:500 hPa欧亚范围内呈两槽一脊的Ω型,欧洲和萨彦岭均为深厚低涡、西西伯利亚到泰米尔半岛为强阻塞,及中纬度纬向锋区是造成此次暴雪天气的大尺度系统;地面图上,暴雪产生于中亚气旋前部的暖锋前部及850 hPa中尺度切变线和幅合线附近的重叠区域。高湿区和强上升区,云系的发展和移动均与降雪量有较好的对应关系。单站高空风时间剖面图揭示了暴雪过程中,高低空急流、切变线的变化和暖湿气流的输送;单站的物理量变化对暴雪预报有一定的指示意义。

Cyclone life cycle characteristics over the Northern Hemisphere in coupled GCMs

Cyclone activity and life cycle are analysed in the coupled GCMs ECHAM5/OM and ECHAM4/OPYC3. First, the results for the present climate (1978–1999) are compared with ERA-40 and NCEP/NCAR reanalyses, showing a drastic improvement in the representation of cyclone activity in ECHAM5/OM compared to ECHAM4/OPYC3. The total number of cyclones, cyclone intensity, propagation velocity and deepening rates are found to be much more realistic in ECHAM5/OM relative to ECHAM4/OPYC3. Then, changes in extra tropical cyclone characteristics are compared between present day climate and future climate under the emission-scenario A1B using ECHAM5/OM. This comparison is performed using the 20-year time slices 1978–1999, 2070–2090 and 2170–2190, which were considered to be representative for the various climate conditions. The total number of cyclones does not undergo significant changes in a warmer climate. However, regional changes in cyclone numbers and frequencies are evident. One example is the Mediterranean region where the number of cyclones in summer increases almost by factor 2. Some noticeable changes are also found in cyclone life cycle characteristics (deepening rate and propagation velocity). Cyclones in the future climate scenario tend to move slower and their deepening rate becomes stronger, while cyclone intensity does not undergo significant change in a warmer climate. Generally, our results do not support the hypothesis of enhanced storminess under future climate conditions.
