斜压大气中双涡自组织与台风形成的初步研究

从数值研究和个例分析两个方面讨论了斜压大气中双涡自组织与台风形成的关系.首先,利用PSU/NCAR 第五代数值天气预报模式(MM5),设计了6个弱环境流场下的理想试验,研究斜压大气中双涡自组织对台风形成的影响,结果表明:斜压大气中双涡自组织存在一个临界距离dc,其值在380 km左右.当双涡间距d≤dc时,双涡可以自组织形成台风环流,当d>dc时,自组织现象不能发生.其次,选取一个对我国有重要影响典型台风个例,分析双涡自组织对其形成的影响,结果表明双涡自组织过程是对我国有重要影响台风形成的典型方式之一.     

多涡自组织的初步研究

在涡旋自组织动力学的框架内,用f平面二维准地转模式研究了初始场上不规则分布的由12个β和γ中尺度涡构成的涡群如何自组织成一个较大涡旋的问题.结果表明,多涡自组织是一个逐次合并的过程,开始时是相邻双涡的合并,然后形成三涡流型,最后才形成一个α中尺度的终态涡.因此,多涡共存条件下的双涡作用,是多涡自组织的一个基本的物理过程.初始场上的每一个涡或涡块,主要有两类\     

环境流场对双涡相互作用的影响

本文在文献[1]的基础上,进一步应用正压无辐散模式就环境流场对双涡相互作用的影响进行了数值模拟研究。试验结果表明,环境流场对双涡的相互作用确有重要影响,它可以加剧双涡的气旋性互旋和促使其相互趋近.也可以抵销双涡间的互旋作用,并且还可使相距较近的两个涡旋重新分开。上述各种情况取决于双涡的相对位置及其与环境流场的不同配置。      

一次由低涡东移引发的中尺度对流复合体生成环境分析

用常规天气图、云图资料及ＬＡＦＳ、ＭＭ４客观分析资料，对１９９３年８月４日傍晚到夜间生成于鲁西南地区的一个由低涡引发的中尺度对流复合本的环境条件进行了诊断分析。结果表明，这个中尺度对流复合体产生于副热带高压北侧的西风带高脊后部、低层低涡前部的地面东西向弱静止锋附近。产生前，其环境大气已处于极端不稳定状态下。低空偏南急流不断将暖湿气流输送到处于对流不稳定区内的静止锋上，被强迫抬升激发出的中β对流云团，在低涡前部合并加强，最终导致了中尺度对流复合体的生成。     

湿位涡方程及其应用

本文在湿绝热、无摩擦条件下，推导了湿位涡方程及其近似表达式。然后通过尺度分析得到了大尺度条件下湿位涡守恒的性质，其形式与干位涡一样。由于考虑了水汽的作用，使用它较干位涡更为方便。最后，我们把湿位涡用于江南岭北3 月有无连阴雨的分析，其结果与预报员经验是一致的。     

高原低涡与西南涡结伴而行的不同活动形式个例的环境场和位涡分析

本文利用NCEP/NCAR-FNL再分析资料、历史天气图、青藏高原低涡切变线年鉴,通过分析1998~2015年持续高原涡影响西南涡结伴而行（简称两涡伴行）过程的活动形式,并对不同活动形式的个例进行了环境场与位涡分析,得出了不同活动形式两涡伴行的环境场特征,揭示了冷空气活动、200 hPa急流对不同活动形式的两涡伴行的影响原因。结果表明:（1）两涡伴行有三种活动形式,它们是高原涡诱发西南涡、高原涡与西南涡耦合以及同一天气系统下两涡,其中以高原涡诱发西南涡的活动形式占多数。（2）两涡伴行的500 hPa环境场主要是40°N以北东亚环流经向度不强,纬向气流主导,受500 hPa低槽、冷空气活动的影响;200 hPa环境场主要与200 hPa急流的强度、距急流核距离、在急流两侧的位置密切相关;不同活动形式的西南涡上空200 hPa、500 hPa环境场特征是有差别的。（3）受500 hPa低槽、冷空气影响的两涡伴行中的西南涡的生成是通过500 hPa高位涡空气伸入西南涡上空,造成西南涡上空斜压不稳定所至;在西南涡上空500 hPa斜压不稳定增强且具有较强的斜压不稳定时西南涡加强;200 hPa西南风急流影响高原涡诱发或耦合、加强西南涡是分别在高空高位涡下传影响到高原涡与西南涡上空、西南涡的情况下实现的,同一天气系统下,高空高位涡下传只影响高原涡,而未影响西南涡。     

西南涡成因初探

西南涡全年各月都有生成, 以4—5月份最多, 8月份最少。 但8月份出现频率的年际变化最大。本文从8月份环流特征探讨西南涡的成因。 西南涡的生成有三个主要成因。低层西南季风经横断山脉—云贵鬲原的绕流作用以及下游低层西南风急流左测的气旋性切变; 中层强西风经青藏高原东坡的越坡作用; 以及中层气旋性曲率和切变造成的强正涡度作用, 都有利于在我国西南特定区域诱生西南涡。 当副高北抬,南海热带辐合带(ITCZ)北推到18—20°N左右,并与印度季风槽相连接时,我国西南地区处于东风气流控制下, 绕流和越坡作用消失, 很少有西两涡生成。 因此, 低层强西南季风(冬半年为强的南支西风)是西南涡生成的重要环流条件。     

双涡藤原效应的数值模拟研究

本文利用正压无辐散模式在无环境基本气流的情况下对双涡的藤原效应及其“合并”后涡旋移动路径的特征进行了数值模拟研究。结果表明,只有当双涡间的距离小于某一临界距离时才会出现藤原效应,这一临界距离决定于涡旋的结构及双涡的相对强度;双涡的“合并”过程实际上是其中一个涡旋减弱消失而另一涡旋维持的过程;在考虑β效应的情形下,两个同等强度的涡旋“合并”后表现为较平直的向西北的β飘移,而两个不同强度的涡旋“合并”后表现为陀螺运动和β飘移的叠加。这些结果与实际大气中双台风相互作用的许多现象极为相似。     

北半球冬季平流层强、弱极涡事件演变过程的对比分析

利用1958～2017年逐日的NCEP/NCAR再分析资料对北半球冬季平流层强、弱极涡事件的演变过程进行了对比分析,同时比较了有平流层爆发性增温（SSW）和无SSW发生的两类弱极涡事件的环流演变和动力学特征。结果表明,强极涡的形成存在着缓慢发展和快速增强的过程,而弱极涡事件的建立非常迅速;和强极涡事件相比,弱极涡事件的峰值强度更强,异常中心的位置更高。此外,强、弱极涡事件的产生与波流相互作用的正反馈过程密切相关。对于强极涡事件,发展阶段的太平洋—北美（PNA）型异常削弱了行星波一波;当平流层西风达到一定强度,上传的行星波受到强烈抑制,使得极涡迅速增强达到峰值。而对于弱极涡事件,发展阶段一波型的异常增强了行星波上传,通过对纬向流的拖曳作用使得平流层很快处于弱西风状态,更多行星波进入平流层导致极涡急剧减弱甚至崩溃。针对有、无SSW发生的两类弱极涡事件的对比分析表明,有SSW发生的弱极涡事件发展阶段,平流层出现强的向上的一波Eliassen-Palm（EP）通量异常,通过正反馈过程使得一波和二波上传同时增强而导致极涡崩溃;无SSW发生的弱极涡事件发展阶段,平流层缺乏向上的一波通量,二波活动起到重要作用,其总的行星波上传远弱于有SSW发生的弱极涡事件。对于无SSW发生的弱极涡事件,其发展和成熟阶段对流层上部出现类似欧亚（EU）型的高度异常,伴随着强的向极的EP通量异常,导致对流层有极强的负北极涛动（AO）型异常。而有SSW发生的弱极涡事件发展阶段对流层上部主要表现为北太平洋上空来自低纬的波列异常,其后期的对流层效应更加滞后也不连续,对流层AO异常的强度明显弱于无SSW发生的弱极涡事件。     

低涡与怀柔暴雨

对产生怀柔县暴雨的三类低涡（蒙古低涡、西北涡和西南涡）进行了统计分析。对各类低涡暴雨的个例对比分析发现，三类低涡暴雨有相同的不稳定度和水汽条件，但垂直运动条件则不同，这些为暴雨预报提供了依据。     

Study on the Interaction of Non-axisymmetric Binary Vortices

In the context of advection dynamics,19 experiments(Exps.)are performed using a quasi-geostrophic barotropic vorticity equation model to explore the condition for the mergence of binary vortices and the self-organization of the larger scale vortex.Results show that the initial distance between the centers of binary vortices and the non-axisymmetric distributions of their initial vorticity are two factors affecting the mergence of binary vortices.There is a critical distance for the mergence of initial symmetric binary vortices, however,the mergence of initial non-axisymmetric binary vortices is also affected by the asymmetric structure of initial vortices.The self-organization processes in 19 experiments can be classified into two types:one is the merging of identical,axisymmetric binary vortices in which the interaction of the two vortices undergoes slowly change,rapid change,and the formation,stretching,and development of the filaments of vorticity, and the two vortices merge into a symmetric vortex,with its vorticity piled up in the inner region coming from the two initial vortices,and the vorticity of the spiral band in the outer region from the stretching of the filaments of the two initial vortices.And the other type is the merging of the two non-axisymmetric initial vortices of an elliptic vortex and an eccentric vortex in which the elliptic vortex,on the one hand, mutually rotates,and on the other hand moves towards the center of the computational domain,at the same time expands its vorticity area,and at last forms the inner core of resultant state vortex;and the eccentric vortex mutually rotates,meanwhile continuously stretches,and finally forms the spiral band of resultant state vortex.The interaction process is characteristic of the vorticity piled up in the inner core region of resultant state vortex originating from the elliptic vortex and the vorticity in spiral band mainly from the successive stretch and rupture of the eccentric vortex.     

小尺度系统对涡旋自组织的影响

在涡旋自组织动力学的框架内,利用．厂平面准地转正压模式讨论小尺度涡旋系统对两个中β尺度涡旋的自组织过程的影响。4组数值试验表明：小尺度涡旋的存在,可能会改变双涡相互作用的终态,使原本不合并的两个涡旋组织起来;双涡相互作用的终态对小尺度涡旋的初始位置敏感;存在“Z”型敏感区域,当小尺度涡旋出现在这一区域时,就有可能改变双涡相互作用的终态;小尺度涡旋对双涡相互作用产生影响需具备4个条件,即初始位于敏感区内,有足够的强度,距离适当且生存时间足够长。     

An Investigation into Effect of Randomly Distributed Small Scale Vortices on Vortex Self-Organization

Previous studies concerning the interaction of dual vortices have been made generally in the determin-istic framework. In this paper, by using an advection equation model, eight numerical experiments whose integration times are 30 h are performed in order to analyze the interaction of dual vortices and the vortex self-organization in a coexisting system of deterministic and stochastic components. The stochastic compo-nents are introduced into the model by the way that the Iwayama scheme is used to produce the randomly distributed small-scale vortices which are then added into the initial field. The different intensity of the small-scale vortices is described by parameter K being 0.0, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0, respectively. When there is no small-scale vortex (K=0.0), two initially separated meso-beta vortices rotate counterclockwise mutu-ally, and their quasi-final flow pattern is still two separated vortices; after initially incorporating small-scale vortices (K=0.8, 1.0), the two separated meso-beta vortices of initially same intensity gradually evolve into a major and a secondary vortex in time integration. The major vortex pulls the secondary one, which gradually evolves into the spiral band of the major vortex. The quasi-final flow pattern is a self-organized vortex with typhoon-like circulation, and the relative vorticity at its center increases with increasing in K value, suggesting that small-scale vortices feed the self-organized vortex with vorticity. This may be a pos-sible mechanism responsible for changes in the strength of the self-organized vortex. Results also show that the quasi-final pattern not only relates with the initial intensity of the small-scale vortices, but also with their initial distribution. In addition, three experiments are also performed in the case of various boundary conditions. Firstly, the periodic condition is used on the E-W boundary, but the fixed condition on the S-N boundary; secondly, the fixed condition is set on all the boundaries; and thirdly, the periodic condition is chosen on all the boundaries. Their quasi-final flow patterns in the three experiments are the same with each other, exhibiting a larger scale typhoon-like circulation. Based on these results mentioned above, authors think that the transition of vortex self-organization study from the deterministic system to the coexisting system of deterministic and stochastic components is worth exploring.     

海温及海浪对台风眼墙中尺度涡的影响

本文利用包括海气耦合、气浪耦合及浪流耦合的完全耦合系统,着重研究了2006年“格美”(Kaemi)台风眼墙内的中尺度涡结构。中尺度涡作为影响台风眼墙非对称结构的内部因子,与风垂直切变密切相关,其发展过程受台风下垫面海洋状况的影响。在顺切变右侧,垂直气流逐渐增强,在顺切变左侧达到最大后逐渐减弱。当不考虑海表温度的冷涌反馈作用时,海气间的热通量输送较大,由此引起眼墙内的中尺度对流加强,但集中爆发区仍然位于顺切变方向,不受热通量输送变化的影响。当不考虑海浪对海表粗糙度的影响时,在较小的海表粗糙度条件下,眼墙非对称性减弱,使得中尺度对流涡在切向方向上的分布较为均匀。     

A Climatological Investigation of the Activity of Summer Subtropical Vortices

By applying a new vortex detection method to the ECMWF 40-yr reanalysis (ERA40) data from 1985 to 2002, the climatology of summer vortices has been investigated in five subtropical regions, i.e., the northwestern Pacific, northeastern Pacific, northwestern Atlantic, northeastern Atlantic, and Australia-South Pacific, followed by validation with NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data. Results are as follows: (1) The spatial distributions of ERA40 vortex activities (VAC) were well consistent with those of NCEP/NCAR reanalysis (NRA) results in all regions, especially in northwestern Pacific. (2) Because of different model resolutions, both the number and intensity of vortices obtained from NRA were significantly weaker thanERA40's. (3) Vortices mainly cruised in coasts and the adjacent seas, from where to the land or the open sea vortex activities were gradually decreased. (4) There were two active centers in the northwestern Pacific:one was located in South China Sea and the other, as the largest center of the five regions, spread from the east side of the Philippines to Japan. (5) Over the northwestern Atlantic, most vortices occurred in Panama and its west-side offshore. (6) The spatial distributions of vortices were alike between the northeastern Pacific and northeastern Atlantic, both spreading from coasts to the west-side sea at 5°-20°N. (7) In the Anstralia-South Pacific, vortices were not as active as those in the other four regions, and mostly took place in the equator-side of near ocean areas. (8) Except the northwestern Pacific and northwestern Atlantic, the VAC interannual variations in the other three regions were different between ERA40 and NRA data. (9)In the northwestern Pacific and northwestern Atlantic, the VAC interannual variation could be separated to several distinct stages. (10) Since the mid 1980s, mean vortex intensity was getting increased in the northwestern Pacific, which was most significant in the subtropical areas on a global basis. In the western North Atlantic, there was a decreasing (increasing) trend of the mean vortex intensity before (after) the mid1990s.     

Impacts of Randomly Distributed Small-Scale Vortices on Typhoon Tracks

Impacts of small-scale vortices on typhoon or tropical cyclone(TC) tracks in a system of three components (an idealized subtropical high ridge,a TC,and small-scale vortices) were examined numerically using a barotropic primitive equation model and idealized initial fields.Two small-scale vorticity fields were generated stochastically,where the number of initial small-scale vortices is 100.In the two fields,the number, size,structure as well as the total kinetic energy of the small-scale vortices were all...     

夏季长江流域两类中尺度涡旋的统计与合成研究

利用2000~2013年夏季6 h一次、水平分辨率为0.5°(纬度)×0.5°(经度)的CFSR(Climate Forecast System Reanalysis)再分析资料,对产生于四川盆地的西南涡和产生于大别山地区的大别山低涡进行了识别,统计出西南涡和大别山低涡的发生频数、初生时段、移动路径、三维结构等气候特征;在此基础上根据涡旋生成前的地面气压场和降水特征,对西南涡和大别山低涡分别进行了分类与合成研究,并细致对比了两类涡旋的异同点,主要结论如下:(1)西南涡在7月上旬最活跃,而大别山低涡则在6月上旬发生频数最高。凌晨时段是两类涡旋的高发期;西南涡日间的生成数目多于夜间,而大别山低涡则与之相反。(2)绝大多数西南涡和大别山低涡维持时间少于12 h;绝大多数西南涡维持准静止,而大别山低涡则主要向东北方向和偏东方向移动。(3)两类涡旋均为对流层中低层的低压系统,其中大别山低涡的垂直伸展层次较西南涡更低。相比于西南涡,由于水汽条件更优,大别山低涡所引发的降水更强,强降水的凝结潜热释放使得大别山低涡的平均生命史比西南涡更长。(4)产生前有降水的西南涡/大别山低涡相比于产生前无降水的西南涡/大别山低涡而言,对流层高层南亚高压的强度更强、辐散更显著;对流层中层与500 h Pa西风带短波槽的配置条件更好;对流层低层涡旋中心附近的辐合更显著、切变更强;并且对流层中低层的上升运动更强。这些都是有利于降水发生与维持的有利条件,而与降水凝结潜热密切相关的热力强迫使得产生前有降水的西南涡/大别山低涡相比于产生前无降水的西南涡/大别山低涡拥有更长的生命史长度,更大的水平半径和更大的涡旋生命史内降水量。     

The dynamics of barotropic vortex merging

The merging of multiple vortices is a fundamental process of the dynamics of Earth’s atmosphere and oceans. In this study, the interaction of like-signed vortices is analytically and numerically examined in a framework of two-dimensional inviscid barotropic flows. It is shown that barotropic vortex interaction turns out to be more intricate than simple merging scenarios often assumed in previous studies. Some particular configurations exist in which the vortex merging process is never complete despite strong interaction of like-signed vortices, regardless of the strengths or distances between the vortices. While the conditions for a complete vortex merging process introduced in this study appear to be too strict for most practical applications, this study suggests that careful criteria for vortex mergers should be properly defined when simulating the interaction of vortices, because the merging may not always result in a final enhanced circulation at the end of the interaction, as usually assumed in the literature.     

移动型与源地生消型西南涡的气候特征

利用ERA5再分析资料与TMPA V7降水资料,对2010~2019年移动型和源地生消型两类西南涡的时空分布、移动和降水特征进行统计分析,结果表明：源地生消型和移动型西南涡年均分别为69和20例,移动型西南涡的主要源地为四川盆地,源地生消型西南涡的主要源地为九龙和四川盆地;两类西南涡均为春夏多、秋冬少,但移动型西南涡的季节差异更大,春夏季生成频次约为秋冬季的3倍;西南涡主要在夜间生成,但日间生成的西南涡中移动型占比较多;源地生消型和移动型西南涡平均生命史分别为15.4h和39.6h;移动型西南涡以偏东路径为主,春夏季移动路径明显较长,冬季移速最大,夏季最小;源地生消型西南涡降水以弱降水为主,移动型西南涡降水强度整体大于源地生消型,以强降水为主。
