正压大气中非线性重力惯性波的非频散周期解——论Taylor展开的可能性

本文论证了正压大气中非线性重力惯性波的非频散周期解存在性及找到了该波解存在条件。通常来说要得到解析解是困难的,故利用Taylor展开来得到近似解。本文给出了Taylor展开的可能性。然后在Taylor展开允许的情况下,我们得到了近似解的表达式及波速公式,给出了该波动流场与位势高度场的配置结构,并揭示了非线性效应使得波动结构变得不对称。     

NUMERICAL EXPERIMENTS AND ANALYSIS OF DIGITAL FILTER INITIALIZATION FOR WRF MODEL

Initialization and initial imbalance problem were discussed in the context of a three-dimensional variational data assimilation system of the new generation “Weather Research and Forecasting Model”. Several options of digital filter initialization have been tested with a rain storm case. It is shown that digital filter initialization, especially diabatic digital filter initialization and twice digital filter initialization, have effectively removed spurious high frequency noise from initial data for numerical weather prediction and produced balanced initial conditions. For six consecutive intermittent data assimilation cycles covering a 3-day period, mean initialization increments and impact on forecast variables are studied. DFI has been demonstrated to provide better adjustment of the hydrometeors and vertical velocity, reduced spin-up time, and improved forecast variables quantity.     

一种卫星反演海温资料的补缺方法

卫星反演海温资料的补缺问题一直受到气象海洋工作者的关注,本文对海温补缺问题提出一种新的构想.首先对所研究的区域分块处理,对每一块子区域海温缺失部分进行Kriging方法插值,并利用历史资料,将海温缺失部分构成一个时间序列,借助于Kalman滤波,得到滤波以后的海温,然后对插值与滤波后的海温进行数据拟合.在拟合过程中引入区域信息量V,在不同象素点参数条件下拟合出最优拟合参βα、β并进行误差估计,实际试验表明子区域选取200×200个象素点,并把整张云图分为144块区域,对海温补缺效果十分明显.本文为海温补缺提供了一种全新的,具有较高精度且实际业务系统可操作的方法.

基于Bayes算法的Abel积分反演折射指数的研究

本文将Bayes算法应用到Abel积分方程中,利用End-to-End Generic Occultation Performance Simulation and Processing System(EGOPS)软件仿真出的弯角数据来反演大气折射指数,并与Tikhonov正则化的反演结果进行对比.当直接利用仿真所得的弯角数据(认为它是不含误差的)时,Bayes算法与Tikhonov正则化的反演结果具有很好的一致性,二者的均方根误差均为2.5470×10~(-8);但在实际观测过程中,由于电离层以及水汽等方面的影响,所得到的弯角数据不可避免地会含有误差,可能产生高频成分,甚至存在间断的现象,因此我们在仿真的弯角数据中加入了满足高斯型分布的随机噪声,然后进行折射指数的反演试验.结果表明,相比于Tikhonov正则化技术,Bayes算法具有更高的反演精度.     

几种特殊地形对气流运动影响的解析研究

在地形相关函数与地形高度函数近似相等的假设下,利用一种解析方法得到多种典型地形影响下的大气中尺度运动的定常解析解以及对应的气流运动情况。结果表明,在地形上风方的水平方向不呈现波动形态;低(浅)的地形不会在大气中形成急流和转子。对各种有一定高(深)度的地形,当Froude数Fr 1/π时,大气波动仅出现在地形附近,低层流线接近地形,向上则波动有所减弱;当1/πFr1/(2π)时,该波动不仅出现在地形附近,还出现在地形的下风方,波长与地形的水平尺度无关,仅取决于背景场,且向上波动仍有所减弱;当Fr1/(2π)时,在地形下风方的大气中层,会形成一支急流,再往下风方,该急流又分为两支,一支位于大气高层,一支位于大气低层,并又会在大气中层再度汇合;在该急流的一侧或两侧,会出现转子;在奇异值Fr=(nπ)-1上出现间断,扰动会出现一个急剧增强的现象。     

多星拼图的再处理技术

由于不同静止气象卫星的观测时间、分辨率及红外通道的红外扫描辐射计的光谱响应函数和空间响应函数都不尽相同,因此,将两颗静止气象卫星的红外云图融合在一起而形成的多星拼图,就会在交界处呈现不连续性,图像上表现为一条明显的拼缝且拼缝的两边亮度不一致。本文利用“直方图匹配方法”对多星拼图进行处理,消除了亮度不均匀现象,提高了图像的整体视觉效果。     

An Application of the Adjoint Method to a Statistical-Dynamical Tropical-Cyclone Prediction Model （SD-90） Ⅱ： Real Tropical Cyclone Cases

In the first paper in this series, a variational data assimilation of ideal tropical cyclone （TC） tracks was performed for the statistical-dynamical prediction model SD-90 by the adjoint method, and a prediction of TC tracks was made with good accuracy for tracks containing no sharp turns. In the present paper, the cases of real TC tracks are studied. Due to the complexity of TC motion, attention is paid to the diagnostic research of TC motion. First, five TC tracks are studied. Using the data of each entire TC track, by the adjoint method, five TC tracks are fitted well, and the forces acting on the TCs are retrieved. For a given TC, the distribution of the resultant of the retrieved force and Coriolis force well matches the corresponding TC track, i.e., when a TC turns, the resultant of the retrieved force and Coriolis force acts as a centripetal force, which means that the TC indeed moves like a particle; in particular, for TC 9911, the clockwise looping motion is also fitted well. And the distribution of the resultant appears to be periodic in some cases. Then, the present method is carried out for a portion of the track data for TC 9804, which indicates that when the amount of data for a TC track is sufficient, the algorithm is stable. And finally, the same algorithm is implemented for TCs with a double-eyewall structure, namely Bilis （2000） and Winnie （1997）, and the results prove the applicability of the algorithm to TCs with complicated mesoscale structures if the TC track data are obtained every three hours.
