Application of WRF/UCM in the simulation of a heat wave event and urban heat island around Guangzhou

This paper evaluated the performance of a coupled modeling system, Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF)/Urban Canopy Model (UCM), in the simulation of a heat wave event which occurred around Guangzhou during late June through early July, 2004. Results from three experiments reveal that the UCM with new land data (E-UCM) reproduces the best 2-m temperature evolution and the smallest minimum absolute average error as compared with the other two experiments, the BPA-Bulk Parameterization Approach with new land data (E-BPA) and the UCM with original U.S. Geological Survey land data (E-NOU). The E-UCM is more useful in capturing the temporal and spatial distribution of the nighttime Urban Heat Island (UHI). Differences in surface energy balance between the urban and suburban areas show that low daytime albedo causes more absorption of solar radiation by urban areas. Due to the lack of vegetation which inhibits cooling by evapotranspiration, most of the incoming energy over urban areas is partitioned into sensible heat flux and therefore heats the surface and enhances the heat wave. During nighttime, the energy in the urban area is mainly from soil heat flux. Although some energy is partitioned as outgoing long wave radiation, most of the soil heat flux is partitioned into sensible heat flux due to the small latent heat flux at night. This leads to the development of nighttime UHI and the increase of the magnitude and duration of heat waves within the municipality.     

1991~2019年中国农业生态系统旱涝脆弱性评估北大核心CSCD

近几十年来我国旱涝事件频发,同时农业是对气候变化最为敏感的产业部门,因此本文基于“敏感性—暴露度—适应力”脆弱性评估框架,选取敏感性、暴露度与适应力评价指标,结合层次分析法与熵权法确定指标权重,分别对1991~2019年我国农业生态系统干旱和洪涝敏感性、暴露度、适应力及脆弱性进行评估。结果表明:我国农业生态系统干旱高敏感地区分布在湖北、湖南等中南省份,而洪涝高敏感地区分布在沿海省份海南、上海和江苏,旱涝高暴露地区均分布在甘肃、河南、黑龙江,旱涝低适应力地区包括西南省份西藏、重庆、贵州和云南。总体而言,我国农业生态系统旱涝脆弱性呈现从中部向四周减弱趋势,中部省份河南和湖北属于旱涝高脆弱性水平,建议中部省份通过因地制宜调整农业生态结构,开发和采取针对旱涝灾害的应变种植、饲养和作物保护技术等措施来降低和适应其高脆弱性。     

台风暴雨的研究进展

台风灾害的主要部分往往是由台风暴雨引起的,对台风暴雨的研究有利于提高对台风天气的预报水平.过去十几年中,在远距离台风暴雨、螺旋雨带的形成理论、台风系统对中纬度地区降水的影响、暴雨分布、下垫面特征对暴雨的影响和暴雨的突然增幅等方面都取得了新的进展.我们对上述进展作了综述,并对现阶段存在的问题进行讨论.     

凝结加热和地表通量对华南中尺度对流系统(MCS)发生发展的影响

通过有无凝结加热和地表通量影响的数值模拟对比研究，分析了非绝热过程对一次华南暴雨MCS发生发展过程的影响。结果表明：（1）凝结加热对MCS的降水影响很大，在MCS发展的各个时期，如不考虑凝结加热，MCS的降水强度很快减弱，无法继续发展。（2）凝结加热在MCS涡旋的形成期最为重要，在涡旋形成之后，影响相对减弱。（3）凝结加热通过对MCS发展过程的影响从而也影响了MCS环境场中尺度低空急流、高层辐散等中尺度结构特征的形成。（4）地表感热、潜热通量等边界层非绝热过程对MCS的形成也有重要影响；在暴雨MCS发生前期，地表非绝热过程造成气压下降，导致华南南部来自海洋的偏南风加大，辐合加强，从而使低层的湿度增大，气层变得更加不稳定，有利于对流的启动。     

广东省持续性暴雨的气候特征

分析了1952-2002年广东省持续性暴雨的气候特征,结果表明:地形对持续性暴雨的分布有重要影响,持续性暴雨的中心主要分布在沿海地区,粤中地区是次多发区.持续性暴雨中心主要在沿山体南侧分布,即迎风向的山前和迎风坡,前汛期主要以沿海的恩平、阳江和斗门为中心;后汛期主要以海丰、南澳为中心.全省各站都以持续2 d的暴雨为主,持续性暴雨在前汛期发生的次数比后汛期多,最多的月份是6月.全省全年及前后汛期持续性暴雨次数的年代际变化相似;但从年际变化看,前汛期与全年发生持续性暴雨次数呈正相关关系,而后汛期与之则呈现一定的反相关关系.持续性暴雨有20~25 a的长周期变化和2~4 a的短周期振荡.     

台风“莫拉菲”潜热的数值模拟研究

WRF天气研究和预报模式是新一代中尺度数值预报模式,本文采用最细2公里的网格距对台风“莫拉菲”内核的宏观、微观以及潜热过程进行数值模拟。通过对台风路径、风速大小、降水形态以及内核热力和动力结构的验证,证实了单向六参数WSM6方案的合理性。本文通过计算台风过程中的潜热加热率,揭示了总潜热主要来源于0℃层以下的凝结潜热和0℃层以上的凝华潜热。证实了与霰有关的云微物理过程是对总潜热贡献最重要的因子。除此之外,在本次台风“莫拉菲”的模拟中,其他重要的潜热贡献因子分别是水汽凝结成云水、云冰的凝华增长、雪的凝华增长、云冰的初始化、霰的凝华增长、云水被雪和霰收集、云水和雨水的蒸发、雪的升华、霰的升华、霰的融化以及云冰的升华。总体而言,本文模拟的潜热加热率廓线和TRMM卫星的廓线基本一致,尽管具体数值略有不同。     

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。     

Impacts of Horizontal and Vertical Resolutions on the Microphysical Structure and Boundary Layer Fluxes of Typhoon Hato

We set four sets of simulation experiments to explore the impacts of horizontal resolution (HR) and vertical resolution (VR) on the microphysical structure and boundary layer fluxes of tropical cyclone (TC) Hato (2017). The study shows that higher HR tends to strengthen TC. Increasing VR in the upper layers tends to weaken TC, while increasing VR in the lower layers tends to strengthen TC. Simulated amounts of all hydrometeors were larger with higher HR. Increasing VR at the upper level enhanced the mixing ratios of cloud ice and cloud snow, while increasing VR at the lower level elevated the mixing ratios of graupel and rainwater. HR has greater impact on the distributions of hydrometeors. Higher HR has a more complete ring structure of the eyewall and more concentrated hydrometeors along the cloud wall. Increasing VR at the lower level has little impact on the distribution of TC hydrometeors, while increasing VR at the upper level enhances the cloud thickness of the eyewall area. Surface latent heat flux (SLHF) is influenced greatly by resolution. Higher HR leads to larger water vapor fluxes and larger latent heat, which would result in a stronger TC. A large amount of false latent heat was generated when HR was too high, leading to an extremely strong TC, VR has a smaller impact on SLHF than HR. But increasing VR at the upper-level reduces the SLHF and weakens TC, and elevating VR at the lower-level increases the SLHF and strengthens TC. The changes in surface water vapor flux and SLHF were practically identical and the simulation results were improved when HR and VR were more coordinated. The friction velocity was greater with higher VR. Enhancing VR at the lower level increased the friction velocity, while increasing VR at the upper level reduced it.     

广西金秀县“2013-07-14”重大漂流灾害事件的气象特征分析

利用常规气象地面观测资料、探空资料,中小尺度自动站监测网、雷达遥感等非常规观测资料,对于2013-07-14发生的广西金秀县漂流灾害事件的气象特征进行分析,结果表明:广西金秀县天堂谷漂流灾难是由一个小尺度的脉冲对流单体风暴在发展强盛过程中,产生的短时强降水所引发,脉冲对流单体风暴在雷达速度剖面图上具有低层经向辐合和高层辐散出流的特征,回波高度超过10 km,但上升气流未出现倾斜,强回波中心主要位于3~6 km的暖层云中,是典型的强降水风暴类型特征;脉冲对流单体风暴处在台风槽尾部的高温高湿大气环境条件下,边界层强辐合线是对流单体风暴生成和发展的主要动力强迫机制;雷达反演的降水量能够较精确地反映无雨量监测站流域的雨强,反演的平均面雨量超过30 mm/h,为禁止漂流的危险等级。雷达估测产品的应用能为山洪、泥石流和滑坡灾害多发区的监测预警提供可行的方法。     

南海夏季风撤退期的气候特征I——40年平均

近年来广州地区的气溶胶污染日趋严重,灰霾天气主要出现在10月～次年4月。大气灰霾导致能见度恶化。自1980年代初开始,该地区的能见度急剧恶化,灰霾天气显著增加,其中有3次大的波动,分别代表广州地区经济发展相伴随的粉尘污染、硫酸盐加粉尘污染、光化学过程的细粒子加硫酸盐加粉尘的复合污染时期。雾和轻雾造成的低能见度的长期变化趋势,没有由于人类活动影响或经济发展影响带来的趋势性变化,其波动主要反映了气候波动固有的年际和年代际变化。广州地区能见度的恶化主要与细粒子有关,PM10有一半季均值超过国家二级标准的日均值浓度限值,而PM2.5季均值全部超过美国国家标准的日均值浓度限值,细粒子浓度甚高。另外PM2.5占PM10的比重非常高,可达62%～69%,尤其是旱季比雨季更高。
