夏季欧亚中高纬环流持续异常事件的Rossby波传播特征

利用西风波导结构以及波作用通量, 探讨了夏季欧亚一类中高纬持续异常环流所对应的Rossby波的能量频散特征。中高纬度对流层上层存在结构较为复杂的弱波导, Rossby波能量频散过程基本上与该弱波导结构一致。Rossby波传播特征在不同时期以及两种环流型 （E型和C型) 之间存在显著差异: (1) 在梅雨前期, 与E型环流对应, Rossby波从南欧气旋式异常环流中心传播到乌拉尔山正高度异常中心, 并且波作用通量在乌拉尔山西侧辐合, 形成该地区正高度异常环流。乌拉尔山持续异常中心东侧重新激发出Rossby波, 并传播至贝加尔湖和鄂霍次克海地区, 维持对应的异常环流。与C型异常环流对应, Rossby波活动非常活跃。该型三个活动中心呈现高纬－中纬－高纬的分布特征, 这与波导结构密切相关。 (2) 在梅雨期, Rossby波的传播对两类持续异常环流的作用更加明显, 其传播路径基本上在处于极区和偏向中纬度一侧的两个“波障碍区”之间的带状西风波导区中。Rossby波从乌拉尔山活动中心向东传播, 最终形成贝加尔湖和鄂霍次克海地区的持续异常环流。在C型维持过程中则还存在另一种强迫因子。在C型中, Rossby波从乌拉尔山活动中心向中纬度传播, 并在亚洲急流中向东传播至东亚地区。 (3) 在后汛期, 在欧亚大陆上纬向“波障碍区”的增加使得Rossby波活动减弱。E型异常环流型的鄂霍次克海活动中心向东扩展到北太平洋, 但来自上游的Rossby波传播只作用于该活动中心的西北侧部分。C型中Rossby波的传播在乌拉尔山活动中心地区变弱。在夏季各个时期, E和C型持续异常环流对应着不同位相的EAP (或PJ) 型, 但并没有Rossby波从中纬度向北传播至鄂霍次克海地区的现象。     

东亚冬季风强度的统计预测方法研究

利用1961～2008年NCEP再分析和NOAA延长重构的月平均海温资料, 基于海气系统关键区的前期信号分析, 建立了一个东亚冬季风强度的统计预测方法。东亚冬季风强度与前期 (9～10月) 黑潮及其延伸区和热带西印度洋海温异常 (SSTA) 密切相关。强东亚冬季风活动与黑潮及其延伸区正SSTA和热带西印度洋负SSTA相对应。东亚冬季风强度还和一个前期 (10月) 北半球环流型存在显著相关, 其中环流型的活动中心分别位于北太平洋中部、 太平洋东北部、 北美和北大西洋。文中探讨了这三个预测因子对东亚冬季风强度的预测意义, 并揭示了其影响东亚冬季风活动的可能物理过程。该预测方法的历史拟合率和试报准确率较高, 可用于东亚冬季风强度的定性预测。     

Variation in Summer Rainfall in North China during the Period 1956-2007 and Links with Atmospheric Circulation

Using gauge precipitation data and NCEP-NCAR reanalysis data, the interdecadal changes in summer precipitation during the period 1956-2007 in North China and the link with atmospheric circulation change over Eurasia are studied. Results show that precipitation amounts decreased by 16.2 mm per decade, which was attributable to a significant reduction in precipitation frequency. Contrary wave trains were found in the subtropical westerly jet (wave guide) over Eurasia for the wet and dry years of North China. ...     

Three-dimensional dynamic features of two arctic oscillation types

We investigated the differences between stratospheric (S-type) and tropospheric (T-type) Arctic Oscillation (AO) events on the intraseasonal time scale, in terms of their influences on surface air temperature (SAT) over the Northern Hemisphere and the dynamic features associated with their spatial structures. S-type AO events showed a stratosphere-troposphere coupled structure, while T-type events exhibited a stratosphere-troposphere uncoupled structure. The annular SAT anomalies over the Northern Hemisphere were found to be associated with S-type AO events, whereas such an annular feature was substantially destructed in T-type AO events. The different horizontal structures in the troposphere of the two types could mainly be attributed to transient eddy feedback forcing. As for the vertically uncoupled structure of Ttype events, the underlying dynamical features that differentiate them from S-type events lie in the vertical propagation of zonally confined Rossby waves. In T-type events, the zonally confined Rossby wave packets can emanate from the significant height anomalies over Northeast Asia, where one vertical waveguide exists, and then propagate upward into the stratosphere. In contrast, such a vertical propagation was not evident for S-type events. The stratospheric anomalies associated with the upward injection of the zonally confined Rossby waves from the troposphere in T-type events can further induce the anomalous vertical propagation of planetary waves (PWs) through the interference between the climatological-mean PWs and anomalous PWs, leading to the final stratosphere-troposphere uncoupled structure of T-type events.     

中国大范围持续性低温事件与中国南方降水异常

本文利用1951~2009年的数据资料,探讨了与冬季大范围持续性低温事件对应的中国南方降水多寡的原因以及不同降水类型事件的不同前兆信号。主要结果如下:(1)欧亚大陆中高纬大型斜脊斜槽是中国大范围持续性低温事件的关键环流特征。降水偏多型和偏少型低温事件的中高纬环流系统存在显著差异:当大型斜脊的纬向尺度较大且其正高度距平中心偏强时,斜槽的负距平中心靠近东亚大槽区,西伯利亚高压大范围加强,南侵冷空气活动偏强,使中国南方地区降水偏少。相反,当大型斜脊的纬向尺度相对小时,斜槽位置偏西,西伯利亚高压加强范围偏小,南侵冷空气活动也偏弱,有利于中国南方地区降水偏多。(2)在低温事件中我国南方地区的降水多寡,也取决于西太副高和孟加拉湾南支槽。当西太副高和孟加拉湾南支槽加强时,来自西太平洋、南海和孟加拉湾的三支暖湿气流到达我国南方地区,导致南方降水偏多,反之亦然。(3)不同降水类型低温事件的前兆环流信号(之前1~3侯)显著不同。降水偏多型低温事件前期,源自北大西洋地区的波列向东亚地区传播。降水偏少型事件前期,极涡在欧亚大陆一侧的次极区显著减弱,同时极涡呈两极型,一极伸向南欧及地中海地区,另一极伸向阿留申群岛。在中期—延伸期时间尺度上,这一结果可为持续性低温事件降水形势的预测提供依据。     

云微物理参数化对华北降雪影响的数值模拟

对发生在华北地区的一次降雪过程进行了中尺度数值模拟。结果表明,高纬强冷空气南下和低纬倒槽的水汽输送是造成这次长时间降雪过程的主要原因。采用混合方案的中尺度数值模拟表明,这次降雪天气不是对流云造成的,而是稳定性的非对流云降雪。敏感性试验也表明,采用其他积云参数化方案对模拟的降雪量基本没有影响。控制试验模拟的24h降雪量与实际观测比较吻合。模拟结果表明,当采用Dudhia简单冰相方案时,会有过多的云冰、过冷却水及雪;当采用Reisner 1混合相方案时,会有过多的云冰和雪;修改的各个Reisner 2方案对此次降雪的预报改进不大,但各个Reisner 2方案的敏感性试验中云冰混合比、过冷却水混合比和雪混合比稍微有差异。     

EAWM流型域——一种与东亚冬季风异常相联的海-气耦合流型域

提出海-气耦合流型域的概念,并探讨了与东亚冬季风异常有关的耦合流型域——EAWM 流型域。本文得出如下结果: 利用ECMWF分析资料10年的冬半年500 hPa高度场和同期COADS资料SST场,在SVD分析和聚类分析的基础上确定了三个海-气耦合流型域。第一个和第二个耦合流型域以ENSO事件冷暖位相与北太平洋/北美区的正负位相PNA型之间的关系为主要特征。第三个耦合流型域,即EAWM流型域则以强东亚冬季风环流型以及类似于La Ni?a事件冷暖分布却有明显区别的SSTA型为主要特征。数值试验结果表明,EAWM流型域的SSTA型,作为强迫,有利于东亚冬季风活动的加强并导致对应的大气型。数值试验同样证实,与强东亚冬季风活动相联系的EAWM流型域的大气型,作为强迫,可以导致该耦合流型域海温异常型的形成和维持。EAWM流型域的SSTA型和大气型间的这种双向相互作用导致正反馈过程,从而展示了该耦合流型域形成的主要特征,即以强东亚冬季风活动衔接的热带海-气相互作用以及热带内外大气相互作用。     

初夏东北冷涡活动异常与北半球环流低频变化

本文在典型个例分析的基础上, 揭示了初夏东北冷涡活动显著异常与北半球环流低频变化之间的联系及其可能机理。主要结果为: (1) 初夏东北冷涡活动显著异常与上游乌拉尔山附近和下游日本附近的持续性异常环流相对应。冷涡异常多年, 在向下游频散Rossby波能量和瞬变涡动强迫过程的共同作用下, 乌拉尔山附近盛行阻塞型环流。它一方面使极地冷空气向东北地区移动, 另一方面通过Rossby波能量的传播, 使东北冷涡活动加强。冷涡异常少年的环流情况则基本相反。 (2) 谐波分析和低频振荡分析表明, 在冷涡异常多 (少) 年的5～6月, 东北地区正 (负) 涡度位相占优, 这与北太平洋超长波槽西退 (东进) 相对应。长波在北太平洋-北美-大西洋地区呈驻波型, 与Rossby波能量传播匹配, 亦有利于乌拉尔山附近的异常环流得以长时间维持。 (3) 5月份, 乌拉尔山附近的异常环流信号对初夏东北冷涡活动的显著异常具有前兆性意义。     

The Impact of Mid- and High-Latitude Rossby Wave Activities on the Medium-Range Evolution of the EAP Pattern During the Pre-Rainy Period of South China

Based on the NCEP DOE AMIP II daily reanalysis data (1979–2005), the evolution of the East Asia/Pacific (EAP) teleconnection pattern during the pre-rainy period of South China is studied on the medium-range time scale. It is found that positive and negative EAP patterns share a similar generation process. In the middle and upper troposphere, Rossby wave packets emanating from the northeast Atlantic or Europe prop-agate toward East Asia along the Eurasian continent waveguide and finally give rise to the three anomaly centers of the EAP pattern over East Asia. Among the three anomaly centers, the western Pacific subtropical center appears the latest. Rossby wave packets propagate from the high latitude anomaly center toward the mid-latitude and the subtropical ones. The enhancement and maintenance of the subtropical anomaly center is closely associated with the subtropical jet waveguide and the incoming Rossby wave packets from the upstream. In the lower troposphere, Rossby wave packets emanate from the subtropical Asia toward East Asia. Positive and negative EAP patterns could not be regarded as "mirrors" to each other with simply reversed phase. For the positive pattern, the positive height anomaly center around the Scandinavia Peninsula keeps its strength and position during the mature period, and the Rossby wave packets thus propagate persistently toward East Asia, facilitating a longer mature time of the positive pattern. As for the formation of the negative EAP pattern, however, the incoming Rossby wave energy from the upstream contributes to both the enhancement and southeastward movement of the negative anomaly belt from the Yenisei River to the Bering Strait and the positive anomaly center around Mongolia. At the peak time, the two anomlous circulations are evolved into the Northeast Asia and the mid-latitude anomaly centers of the negative pat- tern, respectively. The energy dispersion of Rossby wave packets is relatively fast due to the predominant zonal circulation in the extratropics, causing a shorter mature period of the negative pattern. During the pre-rainy period of South China, the prevalence of the EAP pattern significantly affects the rainfall over the region south of the Yangtze River. The positive (negative) EAP pattern tends to cause positive (negative) precipitation anomalies in that region. This is different from the earlier research findings based on monthly mean data.     

中高纬度Rossby波活动对华南前汛期EAP事件中期演变过程的影响

文中从中期过程的角度探讨了Rossby波活动在华南前汛期东亚-太平洋遥相关型事件的形成、成熟和衰减过程中的作用,并得出如下结果:(1)正负东亚-太平洋遥相关型事件的形成过程有相似之处:在对流层中上层,源自东北大西洋或欧洲的Rossby波在欧亚大陆中高纬弱波导区中不断地向下游频散,最终在东亚地区形成东亚-太平洋遥相关型事件的3个异常中心。在东亚-太平洋遥相关型事件的3个异常中心之间,Rossby波能量从高纬度向中纬度和副热带地区频散。东亚-太平洋遥相关型事件副热带异常中心的形成归因于东亚副热带急流波导的存在以及上游中高纬度地区Rossby波能量的注入。在对流层低层,Rossby波则从亚洲副热带地区向东亚中纬度地区频散。(2)东亚-太平洋遥相关型事件的3个异常中心在对流层中上层中,西太平洋副热带地区异常中心最后形成。(3)正负东亚-太平洋遥相关型事件也并不是简单的反位相演变过程:在对流层中上层,在正事件成熟阶段,斯堪的纳维亚半岛上的正异常环流基本维持了其中心强度和位置,它不断地向下游东亚地区频散能量,使正事件的持续时间较长;在负事件中,由于中高纬度盛行纬向型环流,波能量的频散较快,因而负事件成熟阶段的持续时间比正事件短。(4)在这一时期,东亚-太平洋遥相关型事件对中国长江以南地区的降水形势具有显著的影响。正(负)东亚-太平洋遥相关型事件易引起长江以南降水异常偏多(少)。
