基于低频振荡的西南雨季降水的延伸期预报

采用西南地区站点逐日降水数据和欧洲中心再分析数据,通过滤波、分位相合成等方法,分析了西南地区降水的低频特征及与之相联系的低频环流场演变特征,并采用基于降水自身低频信号和基于降水低频影响因子两种方法建立预报模型进行延伸期预报试验,结果表明：西南地区雨量存在10～20 d和30～60 d的低频变化;低频降水与低频OLR场正、负值区的顺次北移,印度洋北侧850 hPa低频纬向风的转变,500 hPa环流场槽脊的配置以及200 hPa低频气旋、反气旋的交替影响有关;基于降水序列自身低频信号的预报模型可以提前半个月左右给出较为准确的预报结果,而基于低频影响因子的预报模型可以提前20 d左右给出具有一定参考价值的结论,两个模型对于降水偏多年的预报效果好于降水偏少年。     

2013年初夏长江下游降水低频分量延伸期预报的多变量时滞回归模型

用长江下游降水低频分量和南半球中纬度地区850 hPa低频经向风主成分,建立多变量时滞回归 (multivariable lagged regression, MLR)模型,对2013年6—7月长江下游降水低频分量进行延伸期逐日变化预报试验。结果表明, 20~30 d时间尺度的长江下游低频降水预测时效可达25~30 d。进一步对2001—2012年资料分别构建的MLR模型的历史回报预测试验表明,对于20~30 d振荡较强和正常的年份,南半球中纬度绕球遥相关(south circum global teleconnection, SCGT)波列是预测初夏长江下游低频降水未来30 d变化的显著信号。基于南半球SCGT的发展和演变,对于提前20 d以上预报长江下游地区2013年7月上旬持续强降水过程异常变化过程很有帮助,南半球热带外环流低频变化是影响初夏长江下游地区延伸期强降水变化的重要因子之一。     

2002年夏季东亚地区环流20—30 d主振荡型延伸期预报研究

用2002年3-9月逐日东亚地区850 hPa经向风场资料建立主振荡预测模型(POP),对影响长江下游地区强降水过程的主要低频经向风场(20-30 d时间尺度)的时空变化进行10-30 d延伸期独立预报试验.试验结果表明,在夏半年135次预测中提前20 d预报的相关预报技巧在0.50以上,很好地预报了夏季3次强降水过程对应的经向风的低频变化过程.对20-30 d振荡显著的多年资料预报试验表明,这些预测模型是预报低频环流时空演变的有效工具,对于提高未来3-4周长江下游强降水过程的预报准确率有重要意义.     

基于20—30d振荡的长江下游地区夏季低频降水延伸期预报方法研究

用长江下游降水低频分量和环流低频主成分,构造多变量时滞回归模型（MLR）和主成分复数自回归模型（PC-CAR）的混合预报模型（MLR/PC-CAR）,对长江下游降水低频分量进行延伸期逐日变化预报,延长预报时效。通过2011年6—8月预测试验表明,20—30 d时间尺度的长江下游低频降水预测时效可达50 d左右,采用南半球中高纬度地区850 hPa 低频经向风的主成分作为预测因子的模型的预测精度明显高于东亚地区低频经向风作为预测因子的模型。这表明在20—30 d时间尺度上,长江下游降水与南半球中纬度绕球遥相关（SCGT）型有关的主分量的时滞相关更加密切。进一步对于较强20—30 d振荡的多年资料构建的MLR/PC-CAR混合模型预测试验表明,SCGT是预测夏季长江下游低频降水未来50 d变化的显著信号。基于SCGT的发展和演变,对于把握类似长江下游地区2011 年6月初旱涝急转和7月中旬持续降水和强降水过程异常变化过程很有帮助,SCGT可以作为夏季长江下游20—30 d低频降水和强降水过程进行延伸期预报的主要可预报性来源之一。     

东亚梅雨季节内振荡的气候特征

影响中国、日本、朝鲜半岛的东亚梅雨是夏季风向北推进过程中的特有雨季。利用NCEP/NCAR逐日再分析资料、CMAP降水资料,将夏季风影响及夏季风降水的季节转换相结合,定义东亚梅雨的入、出梅指标;进而采用集合经验模态分解信号提取方法对东亚梅雨区降水季节内振荡及其大尺度环流条件的气候特征进行了详细分析;并对东亚梅雨季节内振荡对降水事件的指示作用进行讨论,为东亚梅雨区降水的延伸预报提供依据和参考。研究结果表明:(1)采用标准化候降水量的空间覆盖率,同时兼顾夏季风影响等条件确定的东亚梅雨入、出梅划分指标可较好地反映东亚梅雨的气候特征及东亚梅雨期的大尺度环流形势。(2)东亚梅雨全年降水量存在三峰型分布特征,峰值分别位于第27、36及47候。该三峰型特征主要受10—20及30—60d的低频振荡影响。比较而言,30—60d振荡对梅雨区降水三峰型的贡献较10—20d振荡大。(3)东亚梅雨区峰值降水与热带环流及北方高位涡冷空气输送的低频演变密切关联。在梅雨区北侧,中高纬度里海附近冷空气(高位涡)低频波列的东传及鄂霍次克海高位涡的西南向输送共同影响东亚梅雨区。在梅雨区南侧,通过热带低频异常强对流的激发作用,热带西太平洋至中国东北—鄂霍次克海地区形成沿经向分布的低层气旋-反气旋-气旋-反气旋波列,进而导致梅雨区低层形成低频偏北风和偏南风的辐合;而印度西海岸和阿拉伯海地区异常对流活动产生的波列向东北方向传播,亦对梅雨区低频峰值降水产生影响。对于低频谷值降水的大气低频演变,情况与上述基本相反。(4)东亚梅雨区降水不同位相下出现极端降水事件的概率有明显差异。梅雨区降水低频峰(谷)值位相下出现异常多(少)降水量的概率约为30%。因此,上述梅雨区降水低频振荡演变相关的大气低频振荡特征对梅雨区降水事件的延伸预报具有参考价值。     

上海梅汛期候降水异常的低频信号及延伸期预报

提高汛期降水过程的延伸期预报能力是目前天气预报和气候预测发展的重要方向。本文以上海梅汛期降水为例,利用非传统滤波方法提取多变量季节内分量,分析了梅汛期季节内候降水异常及其相联系的延伸期关键低频信号,进一步综合多变量低频信号建立了梅汛期候降水异常延伸期预报方法,并开展了多年的回报和试报检验。结果表明:①梅汛期候降水异常季节内分量具有显著的40～60d低频振荡周期,与降水异常实况具有显著的正相关和较高的符号一致率;②梅汛期季节内候降水异常与超前10～35d的热带及中高纬低频信号有关,主要包括:热带MJO(Madden Julian Oscillation)自阿拉伯海的向东传播、西太平洋副热带高压季节内活动的西北向传播、PNA(Pacific-North American)遥相关型的季节内位相转换以及东北亚冷空气的持续性异常影响;③综合上述多变量低频信号建立了延伸期候降水异常预报模型,对提前10～35d的延伸期候降水异常的季节内分量具有预报技巧,也能较好地预报实际的候降水异常趋势。     

多变量时滞回归模型在江南地区初夏降水低频分量延伸期预报中的应用

利用江南地区77个台站的日降水资料及NCEP/NCAR再分析资料,基于不同时间尺度的江南地区降水低频分量和东亚地区850 h Pa低频经向风主成分,建立了多变量时滞回归(Multivariable Lagged Regression,MLR)模型,并对2011年5—7月江南降水低频分量进行延伸期逐日预报试验。结果表明,50~70 d时间尺度的江南低频降水的平均预报技巧高达0.92,可准确预报持续性强降水过程和降水低频位相的正负转换。对利用2001—2012年资料分别构建的MLR模型的历史回报预测试验表明,在50~70 d振荡较强和正常的年份,模型能提前30 d做出初夏江南低频降水分量预报。模型结果也表明,850 h Pa低频经向风的发展和演变是影响初夏江南低频降水未来30 d变化的显著信号,可作为延伸期强降水预报的关键因子。     

大范围持续性强降水过程与30～60 d低频降水的联系及其预报指数

研究低频振荡是目前开展强降水过程延伸期预报的有效途径。利用1981—2010年中国753站逐日的降水观测资料、NCEP/NCAR第二套再分析资料及实况天气图等资料,分析大范围持续性强降水过程与30～60 d低频降水的联系,并根据前期低频信号构造强降水过程预报指数。研究表明,(1) 大范围持续性强降水过程与低频降水紧密相联,低频降水对强降水过程有显著贡献。在30～60 d低频降水显著年,强降水过程均发生在低频降水峰值阶段;但对于低频降水而言,仅有56%的峰值阶段发生强降水过程。(2) 当低频降水峰值阶段发生强降水过程时,来自东北亚和南海的低频位势高度低值系统在长江中下游汇合,“南北高、中间低”的低频位势高度分布有利于低频气流强烈辐合,并在经向上形成两个完整的反向低频垂直环流圈,促进了上升运动发展,导致强降水过程发生;而对于低频降水峰值未发生强降水过程的情况,北方冷空气南下较弱,高纬度低频影响系统位置偏北,长江中下游附近表现为“南高北低”的低频位势高度分布和单圈垂直环流,不利于低频气流强烈辐合。(3) 综合高、中、低纬的前期低频信号构造了强降水过程预报指数,对延伸期(10～25 d)长江中下游大范围强降水过程预报具有参考价值。      

2011年江西汛期降水低频分量的延伸期预报试验

利用2011年2-8月逐日降水量序列及东亚地区850hPa经向风场资料建立多变量时滞回归(multivariable lagged regression, MLR)模型,对5-7月江西降水10-30d和50-70d低频分量分别进行延伸期逐日预报实验。结果表明：2011年江西降水存在显著的10-30d和50-70d的振荡周期。降水50-70d低频分量延伸期预报技巧明显优于10-30d低频分量延伸期预报技巧,平均预报技巧高达0.86。降水50-70d低频分量延伸期预报可准确预报降水低频位相的正负转换,能为江西延伸期强降水过程发生的时段预测提供预报信号。     

长江下游地区降水50-80d低频分量的次季节预测研究

用1979-2000年逐日长江下游降水的50-80 d低频分量和全球850 hPa低频纬向风主成分,构建了长江下游降水低频分量的次季节预测的扩展复数自回归模型（ECAR）。这种基于数据驱动建模的气候预测方法,不仅能在复数空间上反映全球环流主要低频主分量和长江下游降水低频分量之间的时滞变化信息,而且能更好地描述气候系统的主要分量在低维空间中的变化规律。对2001-2014年长江下游降水低频分量进行次季节逐日变化回报试验的结果表明,50-80 d时间尺度的长江下游低频降水分量的预测时效可达52 d左右,预报能力明显优于自回归模型（AR）,而且6-8月的预报技巧最高。基于全球环流主要50-80 d振荡型的发展和变化以及与长江下游低频降水相关的时间演变,对于提前50-60 d预报长江下游地区持续多（少）雨过程很有帮助（尤其是夏季）,其中,东亚经向三极子型（EAT）是影响长江下游地区季节内降水变化的最主要的环流因子之一。     

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF VARIOUS DATA OF AIR–SEA TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE AND ITS VARIATION ACROSS SOUTH CHINA SEA IN THE PAST 35 YEARS

Using the International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set(ICOADS) and ERA-Interim data, spatial distributions of air-sea temperature difference(ASTD) in the South China Sea(SCS) for the past 35 years are compared,and variations of spatial and temporal distributions of ASTD in this region are addressed using empirical orthogonal function decomposition and wavelet analysis methods. The results indicate that both ICOADS and ERA-Interim data can reflect actual distribution characteristics of ASTD in the SCS, but values of ASTD from the ERA-Interim data are smaller than those of the ICOADS data in the same region. In addition, the ASTD characteristics from the ERA-Interim data are not obvious inshore. A seesaw-type, north-south distribution of ASTD is dominant in the SCS; i.e., a positive peak in the south is associated with a negative peak in the north in November, and a negative peak in the south is accompanied by a positive peak in the north during April and May. Interannual ASTD variations in summer or autumn are decreasing. There is a seesaw-type distribution of ASTD between Beibu Bay and most of the SCS in summer, and the center of large values is in the Nansha Islands area in autumn. The ASTD in the SCS has a strong quasi-3a oscillation period in all seasons, and a quasi-11 a period in winter and spring. The ASTD is positively correlated with the Nio3.4 index in summer and autumn but negatively correlated in spring and winter.     

Could the Recent Taal Volcano Eruption Trigger an El Ni?o and Lead to Eurasian Warming?

<正>The Taal Volcano in Luzon is one of the most active and dangerous volcanoes of the Philippines. A recent eruption occurred on 12 January 2020(Fig. 1a), and this volcano is still active with the occurrence of volcanic earthquakes. The eruption has become a deep concern worldwide, not only for its damage on local society, but also for potential hazardous consequences on the Earth’s climate and environment.     

VARIABILITY OF INTER-ANNUAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INDIAN OCEAN DIPOLE AND HUAXI REGION’S AUTUMN PRECIPITATION

The moving-window correlation analysis was applied to investigate the relationship between autumn Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) events and the synchronous autumn precipitation in Huaxi region, based on the daily precipitation, sea surface temperature (SST) and atmospheric circulation data from 1960 to 2012. The correlation curves of IOD and the early modulation of Huaxi region’s autumn precipitation indicated a mutational site appeared in the 1970s. During 1960 to 1979, when the IOD was in positive phase in autumn, the circulations changed from a “W” shape to an ”M” shape at 500 hPa in Asia middle-high latitude region. Cold flux got into the Sichuan province with Northwest flow, the positive anomaly of the water vapor flux transported from Western Pacific to Huaxi region strengthened, caused precipitation increase in east Huaxi region. During 1980 to 1999, when the IOD in autumn was positive phase, the atmospheric circulation presented a “W” shape at 500 hPa, the positive anomaly of the water vapor flux transported from Bay of Bengal to Huaxi region strengthened, caused precipitation ascend in west Huaxi region. In summary, the Indian Ocean changed from cold phase to warm phase since the 1970s, caused the instability of the inter-annual relationship between the IOD and the autumn rainfall in Huaxi region.     

IMPACT OF ATMOSPHERIC LOW-FREQUENCY OSCILLATION ON THE IMMIGRATION OF NILAPARVATA LUGENS(STL) IN HUNAN AND JIANGXI PROVINCES

Various features of the atmospheric environment affect the number of migratory insects, besides their initial population. However, little is known about the impact of atmospheric low-frequency oscillation(10 to 90 days) on insect migration. A case study was conducted to ascertain the influence of low-frequency atmospheric oscillation on the immigration of brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens(Stl), in Hunan and Jiangxi provinces. The results showed the following:(1) The number of immigrating N. lugens from April to June of 2007 through 2016 mainly exhibited a periodic oscillation of 10 to 20 days.(2) The 10-20 d low-frequency number of immigrating N. lugens was significantly correlated with a low-frequency wind field and a geopotential height field at 850 h Pa.(3) During the peak phase of immigration, southwest or south winds served as a driving force and carried N. lugens populations northward, and when in the back of the trough and the front of the ridge, the downward airflow created a favorable condition for N. lugens to land in the study area. In conclusion, the northward migration of N. lugens was influenced by a low-frequency atmospheric circulation based on the analysis of dynamics. This study was the first research connecting atmospheric low-frequency oscillation to insect migration.     

A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ATMOSPHERIC AND OCEANIC CONDITIONS BEFORE THE OCCURRENCE OF TWO TYPES OF EL NIO EVENTS

The atmospheric and oceanic conditions before the onset of EP El Ni?o and CP El Ni?o in nearly 30 years are compared and analyzed by using 850 hPa wind, 20℃ isotherm depth, sea surface temperature and the Wheeler and Hendon index. The results are as follows: In the western equatorial Pacific, the occurrence of the anomalously strong westerly winds of the EP El Ni?o is earlier than that of the CP El Ni?o. Its intensity is far stronger than that of the CP El Ni?o. Two months before the El Ni?o, the anomaly westerly winds of the EP El Ni?o have extended to the eastern Pacific region, while the westerly wind anomaly of the CP El Ni?o can only extend to the west of the dateline three months before the El Ni?o and later stay there. Unlike the EP El Ni?o, the CP El Ni?o is always associated with easterly wind anomaly in the eastern equatorial Pacific before its onset. The thermocline depth anomaly of the EP El Ni?o can significantly move eastward and deepen. In addition, we also find that the evolution of thermocline is ahead of the development of the sea surface temperature for the EP El Ni?o. The strong MJO activity of the EP El Ni?o in the western and central Pacific is earlier than that of the CP El Ni?o. Measured by the standard deviation of the zonal wind square, the intensity of MJO activity of the EP El Ni?o is significantly greater than that of the CP El Ni?o before the onset of El Ni?o.
