飓风中的涡旋罗斯贝波

文中从柱坐标系下的正压无辐散涡度方程出发,用WKBJ方法求解方程,发现在飓风中存在类似于行星罗斯贝波的涡旋罗斯贝波,这种波的形成主要是由于飓风中基态涡度垂直分量的径向梯度所决定。利用一次飓风过程的精确数值模拟所输出高分辨的资料,计算了飓风中径向涡度梯度的分布,指出这类波动主要存在于眼墙和眼心中。波动结构分析表明,波动能量具有径向频散,这有可能是飓风暖心结构的一种形成机制。最后用波射线法讨论了定常涡旋罗斯贝波的径向频散     

EFFECTS OF TOPOGRAPHY ON PROPAGATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF INERTIA GRAVITY WAVE

Effects of topography on the propagation and development of inertia gravity waves areinvestigated by means of WKBJ method.The equation of wave action conservation is obtained.It isfound that the inertia gravity wave tends to propagate to the higher elevation area,meanwhile theamplitudes of the waves increase.While the inertia gravity waves propagate to a lower elevation area,their amplitudes decrease.     

THE DEVELOPMENT OF SYMMETRIC DISTURBANCE SUPERPOSED ON BAROCLINIC FRONTAL ZONE UNDER THE ACTION OF DEFORMATION FIELD*

The development of symmetric disturbance superposed on the background field of Hoskins-Bretherton (1972) frontogenesis model is investigated by means of WKBJ approach,It is found that the forcing of large-scale deformation,the frontal circulation and the spatial-temporal variations of stability parameters (F²,N²,M²) can bring about the development of symmetric disturbance,even though the frontal baroclinic flow is symmetric stable (F²N²-M²>0),The frontogenetical process of deformation confluence zone and the ascending branch of frontal circulation are in favor of the development of symmetric disturbance,The actions of ageostrophic shear in frontal zone and the variation of stability parameters are dependent on the structure of disturbance.     

A discussion on the amplitude ratios of PP and P waves for earthquakes with different focal mechanisms

Using the WKBJ approximation method we calculate the synthetic teleseismograms of P and PP waves to match the observed ones of six large Chinese earthquakes with known focal mechanisms: Tibet earthquake of July 14, 1973; Haicheng earthquake of February 4, 1975; Songpan earthquakes of August 16, 1976, August 21, 1976 and August 23, 1976 and Nignhe earthquake of November 15, 1976. The focal mechanism of the Tibet earthquake is discussed to examine the technique used in the calculation. We note that the amplitude ratios of PP and P waves (A _PP/A _P) have different characteristics for dip—slip events and strike—slip events within certain epicentral distances. We calculate the synthetic teleseismograms of P and PP waves for the strike—slip and dip—slip events with fault angles of 330°, 240° and 0°, focal depths of 8 km, 17 km and 24 km, at the assumed station with an azimuth of 310° and epicentral distances from 40°; to 80°. The diagrams of maximum amplitude ratios of PP and P waves (A _PP/A _P) versus distances are given. The possibility to use the (A _PP/A _P) values to give an approximate estimation for the focal mechanism type is discussed. This work may be useful for determining the focal mechanism type for those earthquakes which have only few records such as the Chinese earthquakes from the 1930s to 1960s. The Chinese version of this paper appeared in the Chinese edition ofActa Seismologica Sinica,13, 150–160, 1991.     

水平非均匀层结大气中重力波的时空结构

用WKBJ方法结合特征线法求得了重力波波包在水平非均匀层结和时变层结大气中演变的渐近解，结果表明层结水平非均匀性除引起重力波波幅的变化外，还引起波长和包络宽度的变化，当波包由层结大值区移向层结小值区时，水平波长变短，包络宽度变窄，同时振幅增加。层结随时间的变化不会引起波包波长和包络的宽度的变化，但层结随时间减小时，波包振幅增加。     

DEVELOPMENT OF MESOSCALE DISTURBANCE IN THREE-DIMENSIONAL INHOMOGENEOUS VORTEX

Starting from the anelastic equations describing deep convection in cylindrical coordinates, the WKBJ method is used to discuss the stability of asymmetric three-dimensional inhomogeneous vortex under the conditions of nonhydrostatic and non-equilibrium gradient wind. From the equation of wave action, the development of disturbance is qualitatively analyzed.
