台风莫拉克登陆期间的中尺度波动特征分析

利用波作用理论对台风莫拉克登陆期间的降水进行诊断分析。结果表明:波作用密度异常能在一定程度上指示暴雨雨区发展移动,其异常值的空间分布能够反映雨区上空动力场和热力场的典型垂直结构特征。台风内中尺度波动与暴雨落区宏观上具有一定联系。为了详细研究台风内部的波动特征,利用WRF(Weather Research and Forecasting model)模式模拟的高分辨率资料对台风登陆过程中波动特征进行分析,低波数波动的传播主导强对流的非对称分布,2波在登陆初期对对流分布起着关键作用,中尺度波动中同时存在涡旋罗斯贝波以及重力惯性波的特征,对登陆期间涡旋混合的现象有重要作用。     

台风"莫拉克"路径诊断分析和模拟

利用客观分析资料和数值模拟方法分析了0908号台风"莫拉克"穿越台湾岛前后在路径上出现的北翘、西折现象以及进入台湾海峡后移动异常缓慢的原因.结果表明:①台风靠近台湾岛后西太平洋副高减弱东撤,引导气流明显减弱,台风减速;台风进入台湾海峡后,北侧高压带的断裂和随后的重新连接加强是其路径偏北转向和移动缓慢的主因.②"莫拉克"...     

2009年“莫拉克”台风登陆过程阵风特征分析

利用上海台风研究所移动观测车获取的“莫拉克”台风登陆过程中超声风、温等观测资料对地面阵风特性进行了诊断分析.结果表明,在风速时间序列中叠加有周期为3-7 min的阵风扰动,显现出明显的相干结构,即沿顺风方向阵风风速峰期有下沉运动,谷期有上升运动;阵风扰动的各向异性特征明显,沿顺风方向的阵风扰动能量最大,其次是沿侧向和垂直方向的扰动能量;沿顺风方向的阵风垂直动量通量向下传播,而沿侧风方向阵风扰动动量垂直通量总体贡献接近于0.阵风扰动沿顺风方向的积分空间尺度和时间尺度最大,沿侧风方向和垂直方向其次,均明显大于湍流的积分空间和时间尺度.此外,阵风扰动的其他特征还包括:感热垂直通量极小;当平均风速较大时阵风风向变化幅度较小,而风速较小时阵风风向变化幅度则较大;动力学分析表明,阵风扰动主要表现出重力内波的一些特性.     

台风“天鹅”对“莫拉克”强度维持影响的模拟分析

为探究重灾台风0908号莫拉克(Morkot)成灾的内在原因,利用NCEP/NCAR1°×1°资料和WRF数值模式,以及观测分析和数值模拟方法,对"莫拉克"过台湾岛强度始终维持在960hPa不减的现象进行研究。观测分析发现"莫拉克"强度不减与其西南方向的0907号台风天鹅(Goni)相互作用有关,物理量诸如水汽、散度、涡度等持续从"天鹅"输入"莫拉克",如水汽输入层次主要集中在950～850hPa,600hPa以上很少;涡度(垂直速度)也存在低层正涡度(负散度)输送,高层负涡度(正散度)输送。利用WRF数值模式作控制试验和抹掉台风天鹅的敏感试验,试验结果表明有涡度、水汽通量、散度等物理量从天鹅向莫拉克输送卷入,从而对莫拉克过台湾岛强度的维持不减存在一定的支持作用。     

登陆台风莫拉克(2009)的涡度拟能收支分析

利用涡度拟能、散度平方项(简记为散度能量)和总变形平方项(简记为变形能量)来表征涡度、散度和变形的强度,并推导这3个物理量的倾向方程。这些方程中既包含代表这些物理量相互转化的符号相反项,也含有代表共同强迫的符号相同项,其中,涡度拟能局地变化主要由涡度拟能与变形能量的共同强迫项、涡度拟能与变形能量的转化项以及涡度拟能与散度能量的转化项组成。针对2009年第8号台风莫拉克,利用美国全球预报系统分析场资料计算这些方程中的强迫项,分析涡度拟能及其收支特征,以此来探讨影响台风莫拉克涡度拟能局地变化的主要物理因素。结果表明,在莫拉克发展和衰减阶段,涡度拟能与变形能量的共同强迫项(涡-形相同项)和涡度拟能与散度能量的转化项(涡-散转化项)是影响涡度拟能局地变化的重要强迫项。涡度拟能与变形能量转化项(涡-形转化项)的贡献相对来说弱一些。影响位涡拟能局地变化的重要物理因素是涡-形相同项和涡-形转化项中的平流输送项和散度耦合项,以及涡-散转化项中散度耦合项。变形能量一方面通过涡-形转化项向涡度拟能转化,直接促进涡度拟能增长;另一方面通过散-形转化项向散度能量转化,再通过涡-散转化项散度能量向涡度拟能转化,间接促进涡度拟能增长。     

Effects of surface flux parameterization on the numerically simulated intensity and structure of Typhoon Morakot (2009)

The effects of surface flux parameterizations on tropical cyclone(TC) intensity and structure are investigated using the Advanced Research Weather Research and Forecasting(WRF-ARW) modeling system with high-resolution simulations of Typhoon Morakot(2009).Numerical experiments are designed to simulate Typhoon Morakot(2009) with different formulations of surface exchange coefficients for enthalpy(C_K) and momentum(C_D) transfers,including those from recent observational studies based on in situ aircraft data collected in Atlantic hurricanes.The results show that the simulated intensity and structure are sensitive to C_K and C_D,but the simulated track is not.Consistent with previous studies,the simulated storm intensity is found to be more sensitive to the ratio of C_K/C_D than to C_K or C_D alone.The pressure-wind relationship is also found to be influenced by the exchange coefficients,consistent with recent numerical studies.This paper emphasizes the importance of C_D and C_K on TC structure simulations.The results suggest that C_D and C_K have a large impact on surface wind and flux distributions,boundary layer heights,the warm core,and precipitation.Compared to available observations,the experiment with observed C_D and C_K generally simulated better intensity and structure than the other experiments,especially over the ocean.The reasons for the structural differences among the experiments with different C_D and C_K setups are discussed in the context of TC dynamics and thermodynamics.     

台风莫拉克动力结构的高分辨率数值模拟及诊断分析

本文利用中尺度非静力数值模式WRF对2009年8号台风莫拉克进行了高分辨率数值模拟,模拟过程采用三重嵌套,最高分辨率为2 km,共积分72 h(3 d).对实际观测资料与模式模拟结果进行了细致对比和验证分析,结果表明,“莫拉克”台风的发展演变以及登陆过程得到了较好模拟再现,模拟的台风路径与观测路径较为一致,同时“莫拉克”台风的强度演变过程以及主要的雷达回波特征也有较好再现.利用物理量广义波作用密度因子对“莫拉克”引发的暴雨过程进行诊断分析,结果表明,波作用密度的异常值区始终伴随着降水区的发展而起伏变化,两者在水平分布和时间演变趋势上都较为相似,表明“莫拉克”台风降水活动受波动影响明显,广义波作用密度能够综合表征莫拉克台风降水系统动力场和热力场扰动的典型垂直结构,对强降水落区有较好的指示作用.     

地面和卫星降水产品对台风莫拉克 降水监测能力的对比分析

本文以2009年台风莫拉克为例,利用分布密集的自动站观测降水资料比较分析了国家气象信息中心研发的地面降水分析产品CPAP和卫星反演降水产品CMORPH、FY2C等对强天气过程降水的监测能力.结果表明:CPAP准确地把握了这次台风登陆过程中降水的空间分布和强度,但由于海洋区域无站点分布,CPAP无法展现一个完整的台风降水空间结构;CMORPH能够合理地描述完整的台风降水空间结构及其演变特征,但与地面观测相比,其降水中心的位置差异较大,且量值普遍偏低;FY2C的降水在陆地与海洋出现了严重的结构不连续的现象,对台风降水空间结构的描述不如CMORPH合理.由此可见,选择对降水空间结构描述完整且合理的卫星降水产品与精度较高的地面观测降水融合,结合两者的优势,是发展高质量降水分析产品的一种有效途径.     

Correlation of optical propagation near the sea surface with bulk meteorological measurements

A time-dependent integrated dynamical boundary-layer model is used to study various features of the nocturnal low-level jet (LLJ). The basic concept is that of Thorpe and Guymer (1977). It is extended by entrainment processes, advection and an equation for the upper height of the turbulent layer. Applications show the role of the energy terms and how the LLJ changes considerably under synoptic forcing processes of variable geostrophic wind.     

下投探空资料在台风莫拉克路径预报的应用试验

2009年8月7日中国大陆举行了首次利用机载下投式探空仪观测台风的试验,飞机在台风莫拉克与天鹅之间的云带相对稀薄区释放11个下投式探空仪。基于下投探空观测资料、常规探空资料和1°×1°分辨率的NCEP再分析资料,分析下投探空资料的可用性,并以下投探空资料初步分析了两台风间南海上空的风场、湿度场等大气特性;分别进行了有无以同化下投探空为初始场的GRAPES模式的模拟试验,以了解下投探空资料对台风莫拉克预报的影响作用。初步结论表明,台风天鹅与莫拉克之间的南海上空对流层中低层为深厚的西南气流,对流层低层及高层湿度小,中间层大;同化下投探空资料后,观测地区(下投探空点及其附近)800 hPa以下西南风减弱,以上加强,湿度中低层减小;有无同化下投探空资料的初值场差异随模式积分向下游传播,影响台风的环境场,改变了台风的引导气流:同化后500 hPa台风引导气流偏东、偏北分量加强,使台风的路径更接近实况路径,48 h台风路径预报误差比原来减少18%。     

Formation and Development of a Mountain-induced Secondary Center inside Typhoon Morakot(2009)

The structural evolution of Typhoon Morakot(2009) during its passage across Taiwan was investigated with the WRF model. When Morakot approached eastern Taiwan, the low-level center was gradually filled by the Central Mountain Range(CMR), while the outer wind had flowed around the northern tip of the CMR and met the southwesterly monsoon to result in a strong confluent flow over the southern Taiwan Strait. When the confluent flow was blocked by the southern CMR, a secondary center(SC) without a warm core formed over southwestern Taiwan. During the northward movement of the SC along the west slope of the CMR, the warm air produced within the wake flow over the northwestern CMR was continuously advected into the SC, contributing to the generation of a warm core inside the SC. Consequently, a well-defined SC with a warm core, closed circulation and almost symmetric structure was produced over central western Taiwan, and then it coupled with Morakot's mid-level center after crossing the CMR to reestablish a new and vertically stacked typhoon. Therefore, the SC inside Morakot was initially generated by a dynamic interaction among the TC's cyclonic wind, southwesterly wind and orographic effects of the CMR, while the thermodynamic process associated with the downslope adiabatic warming effect documented by previous studies supported its development to be a well-defined SC. In summary, the evolution of the SC in this study is not in contradiction with previous studies, but just a complement, especially in the initial formation stage.     

利用位涡趋势法诊断台风“莫拉克”(2009)的移动

位涡趋势(PVT)法可以计算非绝热加热等物理过程对台风移动的直接影响(非引导效应)。在成功模拟2009年第8号台风“莫拉克”移动路径和近地面最大风速的基础上,进一步考虑了台风不对称环流发展的影响,对原有的位涡趋势诊断法进行了改进,并首次将该方法应用于高分辨率数值模式模拟结果中,诊断不同物理过程对“莫拉克”移动的影响。分析表明,虽然非绝热加热等物理过程主要作用于维持台风“莫拉克”的垂直结构,但非绝热加热等物理过程引起的非引导效应也对“莫拉克”移动的短时振荡有重要作用。     

0908号台风“莫拉克”诱发浙闽暴雨的螺旋度分析

利用气象常规资料和NCEP同化资料,对0908号台风“莫拉克”登陆浙闽诱发的暴雨过程进行螺旋度诊断分析。结果表明：925hPa螺旋度与浙闽暴雨中心强降水演变一致;中低层水平螺旋度由负转正时,浙闽降水急剧增加,减少时则降水趋于结束;垂直螺旋度正极值区与强降水中心对应,预报台风强降水落区,垂直螺旋度比水平螺旋度更具有优势;垂直方向上,用中低层垂直螺旋度“由极大值减小”来判别“莫托克”暴雨结束时间,比水平螺旋度有更多有效预报时效;若能结合水平和垂直螺旋度预报强降水,将有助于提高台风强降水预报准确率。     

A dynamical analysis of the drag conditions at the sea surface

When applied to a sea surface, shortcomings are noted for the ordinary classification of drag conditions at rigid underlying surfaces according to the Reynolds roughness number Re _s . It is shown that in the case of mobile underlying surfaces, it would be more natural to use the dynamical classification of drag conditions according to the order of magnitude of the ratio ( = /) of the momentum flux toward the waves ( _w) to the viscous momentum flux through the surface ( _w). The relevant estimates of for the main stages of development of the wind waves indicate that the observed values of the drag coefficient of the sea surface correspond to the case of underdeveloped roughness.

台风“莫拉克”(0908)过台湾岛缓慢西行成因分析

0908号台风"莫拉克"（Morakot）在台湾岛引发了24 h超过1000 mm的强烈降水,与其缓慢西行过岛密切相关。本文利用NCEP-GFS实时分析场资料（0.5°×0.5°）、中央气象局台风资料库关于我国台湾地面气压场资料和中尺度数值模式WRF模拟结果,分析了台风Morakot在台湾岛附近缓慢西行成因。结果表明:（1）西太平洋副热带高压减弱东退、与台风"天鹅"（Goni,0907）的"藤原效应"是Morakot在台湾岛附近移速减慢的环境因素,而台风结构变化也是其缓慢过岛西行的一个主要原因;（2）台风过岛过程中,由于地形作用,Morakot环流内诱生低压活跃,先后或同时出现在岛屿东西两侧,使台风环流出现非对称松散结构;（3）在台湾岛西侧诱生低压中心取代东侧原台风中心形成不连续路径过程中,台风经历了低层环流从分裂到重组,正垂直涡度柱从垂直到倾斜再恢复垂直的变化过程,这是Morakot过台湾岛缓慢西行的一个重要原因;（4）Morakot西行登岛过程中环境引导气流主要是偏南气流,而包含诱生低压的扰动引导气流则为偏东气流。扰动引导气流虽是小量,但其纬向分量占环境引导气流纬向分量的比率从7%增至26%,较好地指示了Morakot的西行趋势,也说明地形诱生低压导致的台风结构变化是其过岛西行和缓慢移动的一个重要原因。     

Improving the extreme rainfall forecast of Typhoon Morakot (2009) by assimilating radar data from Taiwan Island and mainland China

This study examined the impact of an improved initial field through assimilating ground-based radar data from mainland China and Taiwan Island to simulate the long-lasting and extreme rainfall caused by Morakot (2009). The vortex location and the subsequent track analyzed through the radial velocity data assimilation (VDA) are generally consistent with the best track. The initial humidity within the radar detecting region and Morakot’s northward translation speed can be significantly improved by the radar reflectivity data assimilation (ZDA). As a result, the heavy rainfall on both sides of Taiwan Strait can be reproduced with the joint application of VDA and ZDA. Based on sensitivity experiments, it was found that, without ZDA, the simulated storm underwent an unrealistic inward contraction after 12-h integration, due to underestimation of humidity in the global reanalysis, leading to underestimation of rainfall amount and coverage. Without the vortex relocation via VDA, the moister (drier) initial field with (without) ZDA will produce a more southward (northward) track, so that the rainfall location on both sides of Taiwan Strait will be affected. It was further found that the improvement in the humidity field of Morakot is mainly due to assimilation of high-value reflectivity (strong convection) observed by the radars in Taiwan Island, especially at Kenting station. By analysis of parcel trajectories and calculation of water vapor flux divergence, it was also found that the improved typhoon circulation through assimilating radar data can draw more water vapor from the environment during the subsequent simulation, eventually contributing to the extreme rainfall on both sides of Taiwan Strait.
