THE STUDY OF STORM RAINFALL CAUSED BY INTERACTION BETWEEN THE NON-ZONAL HIGH LEVEL JET STREAK AND TYPHOON IN THE DISTANCE

In this paper, statistics were analyzed concerning correlation between the storm rainfall far from typhoon and non-zonal upper-level jet stream. The results show that the jet stream at 200 hPa is constantly SW (90.2 %) during the period in which storm rainfall occurs. Rainfall area lies in the right rear regions of the jet axes. While the storm intensifies, the jet tends to be stronger and turn non-zonal. With the MM4 model, numerical simulation and diagnosis were carried out for Typhoon No.9711 (Winnie) on August 19 to 20, 1997. The distant storm rainfall is tightly correlative to the jet and low-level typhoon trough. The divergence field of jet is related to the v component. The upper level can cause the allobaric wind convergence at low level. This is the result of the form of low-level typhoon trough and the strength of the storm. By scale analysis, it is found that there is a branch of middle scale transverse inverse circulation in the right entrance regions behind the jet below the 300-hPa level, which is very important to the maintenance and strengthening of storm rainfall. This branch of inverse circulation is relative to the reinforcement of jet's non-zonal characteristics. From the field of mesoscale divergence field and non-zonal wind field, we know that the stronger symmetry caused by transverse circulation in the two sides of the jet, rainfall’s feedback and reinforcement of jet’s non-zonal characteristics had lead to positive feedback mechanism that was favorable of storm rainfall’s strengthening.     

地带性与非地带性夷平面*

夷平面是指由剥蚀和夷平作用所产生的,以截面形式横切所有在年龄上先于它的地层和构造的一种平缓地形。前人普遍认为,夷平面是在构造相对稳定条件下经过长期外营力作用形成的一个接近基准面的平坦地形,是地貌长期演化的终极产物。 流水侵蚀是夷平面形成的动力学基础。"夷平面"一直是解释新生代以来大的构造格局和地貌演化的重要理论依据,如我国青藏高原隆升的研究。 基于气候地貌学原理,文章提出了寒冻夷平面和干旱夷平面的概念;从坡地演化过程理论模型入手,探讨了寒冻、干旱夷平面和流水夷平面的形成机理;提出有别于传统"构造侵蚀旋迴"理论的"构造隆升和地面剥夷动态平衡"的气候夷平地貌假说;此外,还简要分析了这三类夷平面的全球分布规律。     

非纬向高空急流与远距离台风中尺度暴雨的研究

首先对非纬向高空急流与远距离台风暴雨的相关统计进行了分析，得出：暴雨发生时，２００hPa高空一般为西南风急流（９０．２％），暴雨区位高空急流右后方，暴雨增幅时，２００hPa高空急流有一个增强转贤的趋势，用ＭＭ４模型对９７１１号台风８月１９日００时－２０日００时（ＧＭＴ）进行了数值模拟和诊断分析，认为，远距离台风暴雨与非纬向风有关，高层辐散场使低产生变风场辐合，从而导致台风倒槽的形成与暴雨加强，在暴雨增幅过程中，用中尺度系统分析发现在高空急流右后方３００hPa以下存在一支中尺度环流，该环流对暴雨的维持与加强有密切联系，它的生成与高空急流的非纬向性增强有关，在高空急流右后侧的次级环流与降水产生的潜热反馈，高空非纬向场（v场）的增强之间存在一种有利于远距离暴雨增幅的正反馈机制。     

Effects On the Nutation of the Non-Zonal Harmonics of Third Degree

In this paper, we calculate the coefficients of the nutation for a rigid Earth model due to the C _3m and S _3m (m ≠ 0) harmonics of the geopotential, starting from the Hamiltonian theory as developped by Kinoshita (1977). We show that these coefficients are far from being negligible as given the level of truncation of 0.1 μas which is necessary in the reconstruction of the tables of nutation, and also that their value is very close to that given by Bretagnon et al. (1997). This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Barotropic unstable modes in zonal and meridional channel on the beta-plane

Abstract

The linear stability of a non-divergent barotropic parallel shear flow in a zonal and a non-zonal channel on the β plane was examined numerically. When the channel is non-zonal, the governing equation is slightly modified from the Orr-Sommerfeld equation. Numerical solutions were obtained by solving the discretized linear perturbation equation as an eigenvalue problem of a matrix. When the channel is zonal and lateral viscosity is neglected the problem is reduced to the ordinary barotropic instability problem described by Kuo's (1949) equation. The discrepancy between the stability properties of westward and eastward flows, which have been indicated by earlier studies, was reconfirmed. It has also been suggested that the unstable modes are closely related to the continuous modes discretized by a finite differential approximation. When the channel is non-zonal, the properties of unstable modes were quite different from those of the zonal problem in that: (1) The phase speed of the unstable modes can exceed the maximum value of the basic flow speed; (2) The unstable modes are not accompanied by their conjugate mode; and (3) The basic flow without an inflection point can be unstable. The dispersion relation and the spatial structure of the unstable modes suggested that, irrespective of the orientation of the channel, they have close relation to the neutral modes (Rossby channel modes) which are the solutions in the absence of a basic shear flow. The features mentioned above are not dependent on whether or not the flow velocity at the boundary is zero.     

远距离台风暴雨过程的正/斜压不稳定

利用正／斜压联合不稳定计算方法，分析了由9711号台风引起的远距离台风暴雨(实况及MM4模拟结果)过程中不同时段、不同位置的正／斜压项。结果表明：台风暴雨初始时段的降水主要由台风系统本身正压不稳定扰动引起，随着台风与西风带系统的结合，其南北部出现了2个雨区，均是正／斜压联合不稳定的产物；北部雨区的斜压不稳定较明显，且有随高空急流的非纬向性增强而增强的趋势。     

Effects on the nutation of C4,m and S4,m Harmonics

In this paper, we make a study about the influence of the coefficients of the geopotential C_4,m and S_4,m, (m=1,2,3,4) on the nutation, starting from the Hamiltonian theory as developed by Kinoshita (1977).We obtain ten coefficients larger than 0.05 μ as for the nutation in longitude and six for the nutation in obliquity. The present results are included in the reconstruction of the theory of nutation (REN‐2000) at the level of truncation of 0.1 μ as (Souchay et al., 1997). This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

中尺度对称不稳定在远距离台风暴雨中的诊断应用

用中尺度对称不稳定“S”判据对9711 号远距离台风暴雨过程进行了诊断分析,结果表明:台风远距离雨区存在明显的对称不稳定降水。低层(700hPa 以下)S< 0的区域作为对称不稳定区,与后期台风远距离降水有比较好的对应,可以作为远距离台风暴雨落区的一个指标。高层的对称不稳定与200～300hPa 的非纬向高空急流的斜压性增强有关。高低层的对称不稳定对远距离台风暴雨有不同的作用。
