The present study examines the dynamics of mid-tropospheric vortex during cyclogenesis and quantifies the importance of such vortex developments in the intensification of tropical cyclone. The genesis of tropical cyclones are investigated based on two most widely accepted theories that explain the mechanism of cyclone formation namely ‘top-down’ and ‘bottom-up’ dynamics. The Weather Research and Forecast model is employed to generate high resolution dataset required for analysis. The development of the mid-level vortex was analyzed with regard to the evolution of potential vorticity (PV), relative vorticity (RV) and vertical wind shear. Two tropical cyclones which include the developing cyclone, Hudhud and the non-developing cyclone, Helen are considered. Further, Hudhud and Helen, is compared to a deep depression formed over Bay of Bengal to highlight the significance of the mid-level vortex in the genesis of a tropical cyclone. Major results obtained are as follows: stronger positive PV anomalies are noticed over upper and lower levels of troposphere near the storm center for Hudhud as compared to Helen and the depression; Constructive interference in upper and lower level positive PV anomaly maxima resulted in the intensification of Hudhud. For Hudhud, the evolution of RV follows ‘top-down’ dynamics, in which the growth starts from the middle troposphere and then progresses downwards. As for Helen, RV growth seems to follow ‘bottom-up’ mechanism initiating growth from the lower troposphere. Though, the growth of RV for the depression initiates from mid-troposphere, rapid dissipation of mid-level vortex destabilizes the system. It is found that the formation mid-level vortex in the genesis phase is significantly important for the intensification of the storm. 相似文献

Research efforts focused on assessing the potential for changes in tropical cyclone activity in the greenhouse-warmed climate
have progressed since the IPCC assessment in 1996. Vulnerability to tropical cyclones becoming more pronounced due to the
fastest population growth in tropical coastal regions makes it practically important to explore possible changes in tropical
cyclone activity due to global warming. This paper investigates the tropical cyclone activity over whole globe and also individually
over six different ocean basins. The parameters like storm frequency, storm duration, maximum intensity attained and location
of formation of storm have been examined over the past 30-year period from 1977 to 2006. Of all, the north Atlantic Ocean
shows a significant increasing trend in storm frequency and storm days, especially for intense cyclones. Lifetime of intense
tropical cyclones over south Indian Ocean has been increased. The intense cyclonic activity over north Atlantic, south-west
Pacific, north and south Indian Ocean has been increased in recent 15 years as compared to previous 15 years, whereas in the
east and west-north Pacific it is decreased, instead weak cyclone activity has been increased there. Examination of maximum
intensity shows that cyclones are becoming more and more intense over the south Indian Ocean with the highest rate. The study
of the change in the cyclogenesis events in the recent 15 years shows more increase in the north Atlantic. The Arabian Sea
experiences increase in the cyclogenesis in general, whereas Bay of Bengal witnesses decrease in these events. Shrinking of
cyclogenesis region occurs in the east-north Pacific and south-west Pacific, whereas expansion occurs in west-north Pacific.
The change in cyclogenesis events and their spatial distribution in association with the meteorological parameters like sea
surface temperature (SST), vertical wind shear has been studied for Indian Ocean. The increase in SST and decrease in wind
shear correspond to increase in the cyclogenesis events and vice versa for north Indian Ocean; however, for south Indian Ocean,
it is not one to one. 相似文献

Indian region is severely affected by the tropical cyclones (TCs) due to the long coast line of about 7500 km. Hence, whenever any low level circulation (LLC) forms over the Indian Seas, the prediction of its intensification into a TC is very essential for the management of TC disaster. Satellite Application Centre (SAC) of Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), Ahmedabad, has developed a technique to predict TCs based on scatterometer-derived winds from the polar orbiting satellite, QuikSCAT and Oceansat-II. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has acquired the technique and verified it for the years 2010–2013 for operational use. The model is based on the concept of analogs of the sea surface wind distribution at the stage of LLC or vortex (T1.0) as per Dvorak’s classifications, which eventually leads to cyclogenesis (T2.5). The results indicate that the developed model could predict cyclogenesis with a probability of detection of 61% and critical success index of 0.29. However, it shows high over-prediction of the model is better over the Bay of Bengal than over Arabian Sea and during post-monsoon season (September–December) than in pre-monsoon season (March–June). 相似文献

利用美国NCAR CAM3大气环流模式,分析了末次盛冰期(LGM)两个不同的热带海表温度重建方案中,北半球冬季热带中、西太平洋对流活动及大气环流对暖池外(赤道东太平洋和热带大西洋)热带SST异常的敏感性。结果表明: 1)SST异常首先引起大气环流的改变。 赤道东太平洋对流层下沉增强,而作为经向补偿,副热带东太平洋上升运动增强,其中南半球尤为明显,同时南半球热带中、西太平洋上升运动增强,加剧了该区纬向逆时针环流,说明冰期热带海气耦合过程受气候背景场(如SST)影响很大; 2)大气环流格局改变引起热带中西太平洋的大气加热、对流活动、表层风场及降雨的巨大变化。 140°E以西的婆罗洲和菲律宾区域,总的大气加热减少是由于对流与辐射加热减少所致,对应于该区风场辐散和降雨减少; 而140°E以东的南半球热带中、西太平洋,大气吸收热量增加,对流与辐射加热均增强,总降雨量也随之增加,反映该区赤道辐合带南移并增强。该项研究为探索热带太平洋在冰期/间冰期旋回中的古海洋学变化提供了新的数据支撑。此外,不同重建SST对赤道辐合带的影响比较大,因此利用重建SST进行数值模拟或者利用耦合模式研究LGM热带海气相互作用时,应该十分重视全球热带SST分布特征。 相似文献

The initialization scheme designed to improve the representation of a tropical cyclone in the initial condition is tested
during Orissa super cyclone (1999) over Bay of Bengal using the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University — National
Center for Atmospheric Research (Penn State — NCAR) Mesoscale Model (MM5). A series of numerical experiments are conducted
to generate initial vortices by assimilating the bogus wind information into MM5. Wind speed and location of the tropical
cyclone obtained from best track data are used to define maximum wind speed, and centre of the storm respectively, in the
initial vortex. The initialization scheme produced an initial vortex that was well adapted to the forecast model and was much
more realistic in size and intensity than the storm structure obtained from the NCEP analysis. Using this scheme, the 24-h,
48-h, and 72-h forecast errors for this case was 63, 58, and 46 km, respectively, compared with 120, 335, and 550 km for the
non-vortex initialized case starting from the NCEP global analysis. When bogus vortices are introduced into initial conditions,
the significant improvements in the storm intensity predictions are also seen.
The impact of the vortex size on the structure of the initial vortex is also evaluated. We found that when the radius of maximum
wind (RMW) of the specified vortex is smaller than that of which can be resolved by the model, the specified vortex is not
well adapted by the model. In contrast, when the vortex is sufficiently large for it to be resolved on horizontal grid, but
not so large to be unrealistic, more accurate storm structure is obtained. 相似文献

Sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) events are identified to investigate their influence on the equatorial tropospheric climate. Composite analysis of warming events from Era-Interim (1979–2013) record a cooling of the tropical lower stratosphere with corresponding changes in the mean meridional stratospheric circulation. A cooling of the upper troposphere induces enhanced convective activity near the equatorial region of the Southern Hemisphere and suppressed convective activity in the off-equatorial Northern Hemisphere. After selecting vortex splits, the see-saw pattern of convective activity in the troposphere grows prominent and robust. 相似文献

The present work is concerned with the study of intensification of tropical disturbances with a view to improve prediction
and early warning. The tropical disturbances are known to come in sizes (radii) ranging from 100–400 kms. Since the vortices
of different sizes give rise to different initial convergence fields and since the subsequent development of the tropical
depressions is very sensitive to the initial convergence fields, we argue that the size of the incipient vortex is likely
to be an important factor in determining the subsequent development of a tropical disturbance.
We have examined the above hypothesis using an axisymmetric model of tropical cyclone. The incipient vortex is introduced
by prescribing an initial temperature perturbation with wind in gradient balance. The results show a fairly sharp selection
of scale at about 250 km radius. This implies that out of a number of initial disturbances of varying sizes and embedded in
the same large scale environment, it is the vortex with about 250 km radius size that will develop to the most severe system.
The sensitivity of this selective intensification at this incipient vortex radius to initial perturbation field and the mean
thermodynamic state is investigated. Finally, the importance of such a selective scale of intensification for prediction,
tracking and early warning of tropical cyclones is emphasized. 相似文献

Most tropical cyclones have very few observations in their vicinity. Hence either they go undetected in standard analyses
or are analyzed very poorly, with ill defined centres and locations. Such initial errors obviously have major impact on the
forecast of cyclone tracks using numerical models. One way of overcoming the above difficulty is to remove the weak initial
vortex and replace it with a synthetic vortex (with the correct size, intensity and location) in the initial analysis. The
objective of this study is to investigate the impact of introducing NCAR–AFWA synthetic vortex scheme in the regional model
MM5 on the simulation of a tropical cyclone formed over the Arabian Sea during November 2003. Two sets of numerical experiments
are conducted in this study. While the first set utilizes the NCEP reanalysis as the initial and lateral boundary conditions,
the second set utilizes the NCAR–AFWA synthetic vortex scheme. The results of the two sets of MM5 simulations are compared
with one another as well as with the observations and the NCEP reanalysis. It is found that inclusion of the synthetic vortex
has resulted in improvements in the simulation of wind asymmetries, warm temperature anomalies, stronger vertical velocity
fields and consequently in the overall structure of the tropical cyclone. The time series of the minimum sea level pressure
and maximum wind speed reveal that the model simulations are closer to observations when synthetic vortex was introduced in
the model. The central minimum pressure reduces by 17 hPa while the maximum wind speed associated with the tropical cyclone
enhances by 17 m s −1 with the introduction of the synthetic vortex. While the lowest central pressure estimated from the satellite image is 988 hPa,
the corresponding value in the synthetic vortex simulated cyclone is 993 hPa. Improvements in the overall structure and initial
location of the center of the system have contributed to considerable reduction in the vector track prediction errors ie.
642 km in 24 h, 788 km in 48 h and 1145 km in 72 h. Further, simulation with the synthetic vortex shows realistic spatial
distribution of the precipitation associated with the tropical cyclone. 相似文献

热带平流层准两年振荡对热带对流层顶和深对流活动的影响 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
利用NCEP/NCAR再分析资料通过合成分析的方法研究了热带平流层准两年振荡(QBO)影响热带对流层顶及深对流活动的基本特征及可能的物理机制。研究发现,QBO对对流层顶和大气射出长波辐射(OLR)的影响存在明显的季节和空间上的差异。QBO对对流层顶和OLR的影响在冬、秋季最大,春、夏季相对较弱。与QBO造成的对流层顶高度和温度异常所不同是,QBO造成的OLR异常并没有呈现出一样的沿热带的带状分布特征,OLR异常沿赤道区域有正有负。另外,QBO对OLR的影响主要在热带对流活跃区域,尤其是在印度尼西亚和西太平洋区域,QBO东风位相下的对流活动要强于QBO西风位相下的对流活动。QBO造成的OLR异常和对流层顶异常在水平分布上有显著的差异,表明QBO对对流层顶的影响主要是与QBO风切变的异常有关,QBO影响热带深对流活动进而影响对流层顶温度的作用是次要的。进一步研究QBO影响对流活动可能的机制发现,QBO造成的浮力频率异常和对流层有效位能(CAPE)异常与OLR异常在水平分布上有较一致的变化,说明QBO不仅通过调节对流层顶高度和温度影响热带的深对流活动,还可以通过调节对流层的静力稳定度、CAPE来影响热带地区深对流活动。 相似文献

ENSO is considered as a strong atmospheric teleconnection that has pronounced global and regional circulation effects. It modifies global monsoon system, especially, Asian and African monsoons. Previous studies suggest that both the frequency and magnitude of ENSO events have increased over the last few decades resulting in a need to study climatic impacts of ENSO magnitude both at global and regional scales. Hence, to better understand the impact of ENSO amplitude over the tropical and extratropical regions focussing on the Asian and African domains, ENSO sensitivity experiments are conducted using ICTPAGCM (‘SPEEDY’). It is anticipated that the tropical Pacific SST forcing will be enough to produce ENSO-induced teleconnection patterns; therefore, the model is forced using NINO3.4 regressed SST anomalies over the tropical Pacific only. SPEEDY reproduces the impact of ENSO over the Pacific, North and South America and African regions very well. However, it underestimates ENSO teleconnection patterns and associated changes over South Asia, particularly in the Indian region, which suggests that the tropical Pacific SST forcing is not sufficient to represent ENSO-induced teleconnection patterns over South Asia. Therefore, SST forcing over the tropical Indian Ocean together with air–sea coupling is also required for better representation of ENSO-induced changes in these regions. Moreover, results obtained by this pacemaker experiment show that ENSO impacts are relatively stronger over the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) compared to extratropics and high latitude regions. The positive phase of ENSO causes weakening in rainfall activity over African tropical rain belt, parts of South and Southeast Asia, whereas, the La Niña phase produces more rain over these regions during the summer season. Model results further reveal that ENSO magnitude has a stronger impact over African Sahel and South Asia, especially over the Indian region because of its significant impact over the tropical Atlantic and the Indian Ocean through Walker circulation. ENSO-induced negative (positive) NAO-like response and associated changes over Southern Europe and North Africa get significantly strong following increased intensity of El Niño (La Niña) in the northern (southern) hemisphere in the boreal winter (summer) season. We further find that ENSO magnitude significantly impacts Hadley and Walker circulations. The positive phase of ENSO (El Niño) overall strengthens Hadley cell and a reverse is true for the La Niña phase. ENSO-induced strengthening and weakening of Hadley cell induces significant impact over South Asian and African ITCZ convective regions through modification of ITCZ/monsoon circulation system. 相似文献

Recently it was shown (Goswami and Rao 1993) that the process of intensification of tropical disturbances depends on the size
of the incipient vortex in a rather nonlinear fashion. Among vortices of size ranging from 100 to 450 km (radius), embedded
in the same large scale condition, it is the vortex with size about 250 km that intensifies to the most severe system. These
results also showed a strong correspondence between the maximum intensity reached and the initial (3–6 hour) low level convergence
field near the centre. The purpose of the present work is to identify the process(es) responsible for this scale selective
intensification of tropical disturbances. It is proposed that diffusion is likely to play a crucial role in bringing about
this selective intensification. In the present work a series of experiments with an axisymmetric numerical model of tropical
cyclone (Wada’s model) is carried out to determine the relative roles of horizontal diffusion of momentum, moisture, heat
and vertical diffusion. The results show that diffusion significantly affects the process of intensification and scale selection.
While moderate diffusion does not alter the magnitude of intensification significantly, the scale selection is quite sensitive
to the strength of diffusion. Interestingly, these diffusion processes, of momentum, moisture, heat and vertical do not affect
the scale selection in the same fashion. The scale selection process turns out to be a result of a combined effect of these
diffusion processes. However, no single diffusion process alone can give rise to a sharp selection of scale at the size of
250 km. 相似文献

The rare phenomenon of the coalescence of two rotating sunspots of the same magnetic polarity during the emergence of the active region NOAA 11117 is investigated using data from the SDO space observatory. The coalescing spots rotated in opposite directions. The leading spot which formed from this process rotated counterclockwise with an angular velocity of 4°/h. A possible explanation is presented, based on a model of the emerging, twisted magnetic Ω flux tube that interacts with convective flows as it crosses the convective zone. 相似文献

Turkey often suffers from flood-related damages and causalities as a result of intense and prolonged storms that are usually convective or cyclonic in origin. The impact is more distinctive in Aegean and Mediterranean coasts of the country where quantity and distribution of rainfall is influenced by Mediterranean cyclones, especially in late autumn and early winter. The floods sometimes became very hazardous when combined with urbanization effects, especially in the densely populated coastal communities and major cities. Severe weather was marked in the early parts of September 2009 that produced record-setting rainfall amounts across the Marmara region of Turkey and led a series of flash floods which affected ?stanbul and Tekirda? provinces especially. The overall flooding was the result of successive and persistent intense rainfall episodes over a 3-day period which produced more than 250-mm rainfall over portions of the region. The floods resulted in death of 32 people and caused extensive environmental and infrastructural damage in the region. This study provides in-depth analysis of hydrometeorological conditions that led to the occurrence of flash floods in Marmara region during 7–10 September 2009 period and also discusses non-meteorological factors that exacerbated the flooding conditions. Main meteorological settings that led to intense storms were presence of cold air in the upper atmosphere, a slow-moving quasi-stationary trough, and continuous resupply of moisture to the surface low from the warm Aegean Sea. Radar images showed the development of clusters of convective cells that remained quasi-stationary over portions of the region. The 24-h rainfall amounts varied between 100 and 253 mm in most parts of the region during the flooding period with diverse spatial patterns. The southern locations received the highest amount of the rainfall as compared to stations located in northern slopes of the region. Typical effects of orography that enhance rainfall in the coastal areas, however, were not observed during the Marmara flood. Some features of the synoptic pattern observed prior and during the flooding period, supported the back door cold front concept. This is characterized with easterly to northeasterly surface flows forced by an anticyclone, advection of cold continental air over the warm Black Sea which provided anomalous moisture to trigger cyclogenesis over the Marmara region, and falling of core of the intense rainfall over the Marmara Sea. The study concluded that although the meteorological settings were favorable for the convective rainfalls, urbanization factors, such as land use changes and occupation of flood plains, played major role in aggravating the worst flood observed in the region in recent decades. 相似文献

Tropical cyclones are the most hazardous weather systems, which form over warm ocean waters. The frequencies of tropical cyclones show variabilities over all the oceanic basins, during the El-Niño and El-Niño Modoki years. Recent studies have shown significant impact of air–sea interaction processes like El-Niño and El-Niño Modoki on the cyclone activity over different ocean basins. The results suggest in most cases, El-Niño events suppress the formation of cyclones over various basins. A recent study indicated that concurrent occurrence of El-Niño Modoki and positive Indian Ocean dipole (IOD) events can generate more cyclones over north-west Pacific. We propose to study the impact of El-Niño Modoki events on the formation of tropical cyclones over north Indian Ocean (NIO). Our present study suggests that the cyclogenesis over the NIO is a complex phenomenon, as it is influenced by several coupled ocean atmospheric phenomena such as El-Niño, El-Niño Modki, IOD and Madden–Julian oscillation. 相似文献

The rapid intensification of Hurricane Charley (2004) near landfall is studied using the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State
University/National Center for Atmospheric Research (PSU/NCAR) Mesoscale Model (MM5) and its adjoint system for both vortex
initialization and forecasts. A significant improvement in both track and intensity forecasts is achieved after an ill-defined
storm vortex, derived from large-scale analysis, in the initial condition is replaced by the vortex generated by a four-dimensional
data variational (4D-Var) hurricane initialization scheme. Results from numerical experiments suggest that both the inclusion
of the upper-level trough and the use of high horizontal resolution (6 km) are important for numerical simulations to capture
the observed rapid intensification as well as the size reduction during the rapid intensification of Hurricane Charley. The
approach of the upper-level trough significantly enhanced the upper-level divergence and vertical motion within simulated
hurricanes. Small-scale features that are not resolvable at 18 km resolution are important to the rapid intensification and
shrinking of Hurricane Charley (2004). Numerical results from this study further confirm that the theoretical relationship
between the intensification and shrinking of tropical cyclones based on the angular momentum conservation and the cyclostrophic
approximation can be applied to the azimuthal mean flows. 相似文献

The formative conditions for bedform spurs and their roles in bedform dynamics and associated sediment transport are described herein. Bedform spurs are formed by helical vortices that trail from the lee surface of oblique segments of bedform crest lines. Trailing helical vortices quickly route sediment away from the lee surface of their parent bedform, scouring troughs and placing this bed material into the body of the spur. The geometric configuration of bedform spurs to their parent bedform crests is predicted by a cross‐stream Strouhal number. When present, spur‐bearing bedforms and their associated trailing helical wakes exert tremendous control on bedform morphology by routing enhanced sediment transport between adjacent bedforms. Field measurements collected at the North Loup River, Nebraska, and flume experiments described in previous studies demonstrate that this trailing helical vortex‐mediated sediment transport is a mechanism for bedform deformation, interactions and transitions between two‐dimensional and three‐dimensional bedforms. 相似文献

A method of initializing tropical cyclones in high-resolution numerical models is developed by modifying a data assimilation system, the NRL atmospheric variational data assimilation system (NAVDAS), which was designed for general mesoscale weather prediction using a three-dimensional variational (3DVAR) analysis with intermittent updates. The method includes the following three upgrades to overcome difficulties resulting from tropical cyclone initialization with the NAVDAS analysis. First, synthetic observation soundings are generated on 9 vertical levels at 49 points for strong storms (v max?>?23.1?m?s?1) and 41 points for weak storms around each cyclone center to supplement the observations used by the analysis. Secondly, a vortex relocation method for nested grids is developed to correct the cyclone position in the background fields of the analysis for each nested mesh. Lastly, the 3DVAR analysis is modified to gradually reduce the horizontal length scale and geostrophic coupling constraint near the center of a tropical cyclone for minimizing the problems introduced by improper covariances and coupling constraint used in the analysis. The synthetic observations significantly improve the intensity and structure of the analysis and the track forecast. The vortex relocation significantly improves the first guess background, avoiding the large analysis corrections that would be needed to correct cyclone position, and reducing the imbalance introduced by such large analysis increments. The modifications to the analysis length scale and geostrophic coupling constraint successfully improve the inner core analysis, providing a tighter circulation, and reducing the underestimate of the mass field gradient. Among the three upgrades, the vortex relocation provides the largest improvement to the tropical cyclone initialization and forecast. 相似文献

We consider the problem of penetrative convection in the upper ocean under the conditions of sharp surface cooling and a constant
momentum flux connected with the existing system of random waves. The Langevin equation with a random right part is used to
describe a convective ensemble of thermals. The kinetic Fokker-Planck equation is built for the angular probability density
of an ensemble of convective elements. The stationary solution of this equation allows one to find an analogue of the Boltzman
distribution for convective currents over speed and height. The Maxwell speed distribution is implemented in this case for
convective thermals at a fixed depth. The results allow interpretation of certain data on turbulence in the convective near-surface
ocean layer. 相似文献
