用一个全球谱模式作数值试验,研究了１９７９年６月中蟾一次西太平洋副热带高压西伸北进的中期天气过程中热带西太平洋地区理想热源的作用。结果表明：理想热源的作用大约在４天以后可以影响我国东部的副热带高压和中高纬度的环流;理想热源在热带洋面上产生的扰动首先沿副高南边的东风气流向西北方向传播,到中纬西风带后分为两支,一支继续向西北方向传播,另一支转向东北偏东方向传播,两支扰动的共同作用导致副热带高压和西风带     

近百年四季西太平洋副热带高压的变化

文中设计了一种根据网格点高度值拟合副热带高压强度、西界、北界 3种指数的方法。根据这个方法 ,利用重建的 1880～ 195 0年 5 0 0hPa月平均高度序列 ,计算了 195 1年之前 70a的副热带高压指数 ,与 195 1～ 1999年的实测指数合成一个 12 0a的序列 ,研究了西太平洋副热带高压的年际与年代际变率。     

近百年夏季西太平洋副热带高压的变化

利用国家气候中心给出的1951～1998年副高强度(Is)、西界(Iw)、北界(IN)3个指数与国家气候中心同期的500hPa观测高度场分别作相关分析,并在高度场中分别找出几个有意义的点,用其高度计算副高3个指数I＇s、I＇N和I＇w,计算出I＇s与Is、I'N与IN、I＇w与IW的相关系数均大于Is、IN和IW与单点高度的相关系数.对NCEP资料作同样分析,结果相同,说明可以利用500hPa高度场数值计算副高活动指数.于是利用重建的1880～1950年北半球高度场资料将副高3个指数向前恢复到1880年.对1880～1999年副高强度、西界、北界作功率谱及小波分析,发现副高强度、北界具有明显的40年周期,西界具有明显的16年周期,即副高指数的变化以低频振荡为主.北界还有3～5年的年际变化.     

季内西太平洋副热带高压异常进退的数值模拟

用中科院大气所的ＩＡＰ－ＡＧＣＭ模式，对海温和季内北太平洋副热带高压异常活动进行控制性试验，得到；西太平洋高异常对热带西太平洋，南海，孟加拉湾的海温异常有两个月的滞后响应且西太平洋副高异常和东太平洋副高异常总是相伴出现的，后者出现要早些；当上述海区ＳＳＴ正异常时，５００ｈＰａ上来自东西两个方向的位势波在西太平洋汇集的位置要偏北，相应副高的位置也持续偏北，两者吻合很好；在上述海温异常作用下，当东亚高     

中高纬环流对1998年7月西太平洋副热带高压短期变化的影响机制

针对1998年7月长江中下游地区二度梅期间副热带高压的短期演变特征,利用NCEP逐日资料,首先揭示了此期间西太平洋副热带高压发生东西断裂、副高单体发展的短期异常特征,进而指出了中高纬环流调整与副高短期变异的对应关系.在发现与中高纬环流调整相伴随的强冷空气是副高发生变异的关键因素的基础上,利用大气热力学基本原理,研究副高短期变异的动力机制,发现在副高边缘的冷暖空气活动通过与南北风发展直接关联,而影响副高的短期变异,是副高短期变异的重要机制之一.最后,利用R42L9/LASG IAP大气环流模式,通过敏感性数值试验证实了上述冷暖空气活动影响副高发生变异的动力机制.     

2003 年陕西暴雨与西太平洋副热带高压的关系

利用实时资料和中央气象台提供的副热带高压资料,对2003年汛期陕西暴雨和500hPa副热带高压的活动特征关系统计分析,并对ECMWF、T213数值预报产品对副高的预报能力作了客观分析。结果表明,汛期7、8、9月副高偏强,副高脊线在25～28°N、西脊点在104～112°E进退,是陕西关中陕南多阴雨、暴雨频繁的主要原因;陕西连续暴雨产生于副高脊线沿25～28°N持续西伸、持续东移经过105°E时段。ECMWF对副高的进退、热带气旋路径预报准确率较高。     

西太平洋副热带高压中期变化的数值试验 Ⅱ.热带西太平洋热源的作用

用一个全球谱模式作数值试验,研究了１９７９年６月中旬一次西太平洋副热带高压西伸北进的中期天气过程中热带西太平洋地区理想热源的作用。结果表明：理想热源的作用大约在４天以后可以影响我国东部的副热带高压和中高纬度的环流;理想热源在热带洋面上产生的扰动首先沿副高南边的东风气流向西北方向传播,到中纬西风带后分为两支,一支继续向西北方向传播,另一支转向东北偏东方向传播,两支扰动的共同作用,导致了副热带高压和西风带环流的变化。     

西太平洋副热带高压和台风相互作用的数值试验研究

利用1958-1998年台风资料,对台风路径进行分类,挑选出3类常见路径作为研究对象,通过合成分析,证实不同的台风路径所对应的副热带高压(副高)形势不同.台风西行时,西太平洋副热带高压势力强大,呈东西向带状,台风沿着副高南部西行,副高在整个过程中西伸;转向路径时,副高开始呈东西向带状,随着台风的移动副高主体东退,在160°E附近中间断裂;北上路径的台风对应的副高主体偏东.在此基础上,利用气候模式R42L9在不同的初始场中加入相同的温度扰动,成功模拟出西行和北上路径的台风,验证了不同副高形态对台风路径的不同影响.对模拟结果的分析还发现,台风可以引起正压Rossby波向中高纬度的传播.由于背景流场不同,不同移动路径的台风其波动能量的传播路径也不同,从而对中高纬度环流和西太平洋副高产生不同的影响与北上台风不同,西行台风在其西北方向激发出正变高,使西太平洋副高加强西伸.     

西太平洋副热带高压位置对华北盛夏降水的影响

应用1958～2002年NCEP/NCAR 500 hPa冉分析资料,分析夏季逐日西太平洋副热带高压在110°～130°E、20°～50°N区域脊线活动情况.发现盛夏(7～8月)副高在588 dagpm以上、脊线在30°N以北的日数与华北降水有大范围正相关区,中心相关系数0.561(显著性水平为0.001).分析发现西太平副热带高压越过30°N的初日(连续3天副高脊线越过30°N的首口)早晚与华北盛夏降水量显著相关,初口与华北盛夏的平均降水量相关系数为-0.385,即副高北上早华北盛夏降水多,反之副高北上晚华北盛夏降水少.110°～130°E区域副高脊线越过30°N的日数和初日能更好地描述西太平洋副高与华北乃至我国东部盛夏降水的关系,对实际业务工作具有重要意义.     

空间非均匀加热对副热带高压形成和变异的影响──Ⅲ:凝结潜热加热与南亚高压及西太平洋副高

通过理论分析和数值模拟,研究了降水所致凝结潜热影响副热带高压带断裂的物理机制。基于全型垂直涡度方程的尺度分析指出,强的对流凝结加热的垂直梯度的变化,导致副热带地区对流层高层和中低层的高低压分布呈现出反位相。数值试验证实凝结潜热是决定东半球夏季副热带高压位置和强度的关键因素：东亚季风降雨所致凝结潜热加热使高层南亚高压位于加热中心西侧,中层西太平洋副热带高压位于加热中心东侧。通过定常波的传播,副热带地区的凝结潜热加热对中高纬天气的形成和维持有一定影响。     

Testing the influence of western Pacific subtropical high...

In this paper, two seasonal scale simulations were conducted for the abnormal climate event in China in the summer of 1998 using a regional climate model (RegCM3). One is the control run, the other is nudging run, which was performed for zonal and meridional wind components, temperature, and humidity data for the region east of 120° E in the model domain to ensure that the simulated activity of western Pacific subtropical high (WPSH) in summer followed those of reanalysis data, while the interaction between the WPSH and the surrounding circulation systems was still maintained partially. Comparisons between the simulated regional circulation systems and the extension/withdrawal of the rain belt over eastern China as well as the activity of the WPSH were carried out. The results show that the relationship between the precipitation over eastern China and WPSH can be reproduced well in the nudging run. However, though the extension/withdrawal of the rain belt over eastern China is mainly dominated by that of WPSH, as pointed out by so many research works, the detailed precipitation scenario is not solely determined by the intensity and position of WPSH, and the precipitation discrepancy between simulation and observation is significant to some extent, which suggests that it is important to improve the precipitation physical process of the model in simulating the detailed precipitation scenario over eastern China.     

夏季西北太平洋副热带高压指数

利用在特定区域上平均的夏季（6、7、8月）平均850hPa位势高度异常,我们定义了两种指数,分别用来描述夏季北太平洋副热带高压在东西方向和南北方向上的偏移。对于东西向指数,平均的区域为副高的西侧（110°-150°E,10°-30°N）;对于南北向指数,平均的区域为副高的西北侧（120°-150°E,30°-40°N）。发现这两种指数是相互独立的。基于南北向指数的合成分析结果与以往的研究结果吻合得相当好。在年际时间尺度上,将这两种指数与国家气候中心公布的副高指数进行了比较,发现尽管有一些微弱的差别,本文定义的指数与国家气候中心的副高指数大致具有相似的年际变化,因而本文的指数与国家气候中心的指数也对应着相似的环流和降水型。进而,对本文的指数与国家气候中心的指数对应的环流（降水）型之间的不同进行了分析,表明本文的指数比国家气候中心的指数能够更好地描述对应的环流和降水型。一个重要的结果是,不论根据本文指数,还是根据国家气候中心指数,东西向指数（或西伸指数）都比南北向指数（或北界指数）对应着更显著的降水异常,特别是在东亚地区和菲律宾海。 这两种指数还可以用来描述副高在夏季里的季节推进,即,北移和东退。副高在7月中旬迅速北移和东退。发现在副高平均处于偏北或偏东的夏季里,北移     

夏季西太平洋副热带高压的模拟实验

本文用模拟实验方法研究了西太平洋副热带高压的成因和结构。在分析了西太平洋副热带高压与其周围地区冷、热源关系的基础上,在实验中设计了六个热源、两个冷源,实验中得到的三维流场与实际大气情况相比很相似。从实验结果和实际大气资料分析得出,有四支不同方向的气流向西太平洋地区辐合下沉,它们对西太平洋副高的形成和维持起着重要作用。     

气候变暖背景下西太平洋副热带高压体形态变异及热力原因

采用美国NCEP/NCAR再分析资料,利用相关、合成分析、大气热源的计算等方法,研究了气候变暖背景下西太平洋副热带高压（副高）空间形态的变异及热力原因。结果表明,气候变暖前、后各层副高形态特征有很大的差异,副高体的空间形态从850—700 hPa开始显著西伸南扩,到500 hPa最为明显。各层副高在冷、暖期的形态差异与其周围大气热源和涡度的变化相对应。随着气候变暖,副高西侧和南侧的大气热源在850—700 hPa上开始有明显的加强,500 hPa热源加强最明显,且副高体南侧热源中心有所南移;同时,其西侧和南侧从对流层低层至中高层有反气旋涡度的增大,西侧的反气旋涡度在850—700 hPa增大最明显,南侧的反气旋涡度在500 hPa增大最明显,且反气旋中心整体南移。表明气候变暖后,副高体西侧和南侧大气热源的加强,导致相应区域反气旋涡度增大,副高体向反气旋涡度增大的方向发展,从而使副高西脊点西伸,南边界南扩,整体南移。      

CMIP5模式对西太平洋副热带高压的模拟和预估

利用国际耦合模式比较计划第五阶段（CMIP5）26个模式的模拟结果,从空间分布和振幅变化、年际周期及年代际趋势等方面,初步评估了CMIP5模式对西太平洋副热带高压（副高）的模拟能力。在此基础上,还对未来不同典型浓度路径（RCPs）情景下副高的可能变化给出了定性的预估。CMIP5模式历史试验结果显示,大多数模式对500 hPa位势高度气候平均值的模拟有明显误差,这主要是由于模式对热带印度洋和西太平洋地区海表温度（SST）的模拟普遍较观测值低,从而导致模式对副高的模拟能力有限。但大多数模式对高度场和纬向风场变化的空间形态与振幅都有较强的模拟能力。因此,通过用NCEP/NCAR再分析资料的气候平均值替代CMIP5模式气候平均值的简单方法,对CMIP5模拟结果进行了订正。经订正后的模式结果均有能力刻画副高指数的历史时间序列,且能够反映出20世纪70年代末期之后,副高面积增大、强度增强和显著西伸的变化趋势。此外,通过对副高指数的长期趋势、年际周期及标准差等的定量评估,注意到CNRM-CM5、FGOALS-g2、FIO-ESM、MIROC-ESM和MPI-ESM-P这5个模式对副高的模拟能力较强。未来气候预估试验中,副高面积和强度均增大,且显著西伸;其线性增长趋势在RCP8.5情景下最高,RCP4.5情景下次之,RCP2.6情景下最弱。有趣的是副高脊线指数在3种排放情景下都没有明显的长期变化趋势。这些结果为选取和利用CMIP5模式进行东亚地区气候变化的归因分析和未来预估提供了一定的科学依据。     

“05. 6”华南强降水期间副热带高压活动与加热场的关系

采用NCEP/NCAR再分析逐日资料,根据全型垂直涡度倾向方程,研究2005年6月华南强降水期间西太平洋副热带高压(副高)位置变动特征及其与加热场的关系.结果表明,西太平洋副高位置变化和副热带地区的非绝热加热有密切关系.与气候平均状况相比,2005年6月副高北侧的加热区很强,而南侧赤道辐合带(ITCZ)没有相当强度的对流;伴随着副高北抬,其南侧均有明显的对流潜热加热向北伸展.副高西侧的加热基本上都大于副高纬带内的加热,副高的每一次西伸都伴随着西侧加热的显著增强,并且加热增强先于副高西伸.对流层中层,副高北侧非绝热加热率的垂直变化基本上都大于气候平均值,不利于副高北进;而南侧加热率的垂直变化均小于多年平均,有利于副高南侧反气旋性涡度异常增长,从而有利于副高南退.2005年6月下旬副高西伸之前,副高西侧非绝热加热率的垂直变化基本上都高于气候平均状况,有利于副高两侧反气旋涡度增加,从而诱使副高随后西伸;而东侧加热率的垂直变化大多数时间都低于气候平均状况,使得副高东侧气旋性涡度增加,有利于副高西伸,对流层低层也具有类似特点.因此在南北两侧加热和东西两侧加热的共同作用下,2005年6月副高位置较常年偏南偏西,从而有利于雨带在华南地区维持.     

Novel dynamical indices for the variations of the western Pacific subtropical high based on three-pattern decomposition of global atmospheric circulation in a warming climate

Previous studies have often used the 500 hPa geopotential height to define indices of the western Pacific subtropical high (WPSH). However, some studies reported that global warming caused a significant increase in geopotential height, particularly at the middle and lower latitudes, leading artificial results about long-term trend of the WPSH. To avoid the spurious signals resulting from global warming, this study first redefines the area, intensity, westward ridge point and ridge line indices of the WPSH by adopting the stream function R of horizontal circulation in the three-pattern decomposition of global atmospheric circulation (3P-DGAC). Subsequently, the climatic characteristics of the WPSH in summer are investigated by applying the new indices based on four reanalysis datasets. The results show that the circulation features of the WPSH could be revealed by the stream function R in 3P-DGAC. Moreover, the rain belt over East Asia is located at the northwest periphery of the zero-value isoline of the stream function R. We conclude that the climatological average WPSH is contracted and retreated eastward during 1979–2018 relative to 1948–1978. Nevertheless, by analyzing interdecadal changes of the time series of the new indices during 1948–2018, we find that area and intensity indices decrease with time before the end of 1970s and increase slightly with time after the end of 1970s, the western ridge point index moves eastward with time before the end of the 1970s and moves westward slightly with time after the end of 1970s, as well as there is no obvious interdecadal variations in the ridge line index. Because of the evident dynamical meaning, the stream function R in 3P-DGAC can be used as an objective indicator to describe the interdecadal variation of the WPSH under global warming.

     

Seasonal variation of atmospheric 210Pb and Al in the western North Pacific region

The atmospheric concentration of ²¹⁰Pb was determined for two years at six stations in the western North Pacific region. The following results were obtained and discussed by comparing them with those of Al. The atmospheric concentration of ²¹⁰Pb varied widely from week to week, but the degree of variation was about a half that of Al. Contrary to Al, the year-to-year variation of ²¹⁰Pb was not pronounced and its seasonal variation was well expressed by a sine curve. The ²¹⁰Pb concentration did not show a marked latitudinal variation and its base-line concentration was high in the surface air over the North Pacific. These suggest that atmospheric ²¹⁰Pb has a longer residence time, due to its transportation through higher altitudes and deposits much more evenly onto the Earth's surface and the ocean, as compared with Al in mineral dust which is larger in size in the source region.     

Projected changes in the western North Pacific subtropical high under six global warming targets

西北太平洋副热带高压(简称西太副高)是影响东亚夏季天气气候的关键环流系统。本文利用CMIP5的历史气候模拟试验和RCP8.5路径下的未来气候变化预估试验数据,采用扰动位势高度,流函数等多种变量描述西太副高,分析了西太副高在6个全球变暖阈值(1.5℃, 2.0℃, 2.5℃,3.0℃, 3.5℃和4.0℃)下相对于当代气候的变化情况。在对流层中层(500 h Pa),西太副高在1.5℃阈值下几乎没有变化,而在2.0℃阈值下迅速减弱并东退约2.5°。当升温大于2.5℃时,西太副高呈线性减弱趋势,在4.0℃阈值下将东退约6.0°。在对流层低层(850 h Pa),西太副高在1.5℃阈值下增强西伸,但在升温到2.0℃的过程中变化不大。当变暖达到4.0℃阈值时,西太副高将西伸约2.0°。     

Longitudinal Displacement of the Subtropical High in the Western Pacific in Summer and its Influence

Using the relative vorticity averaged over a certain area, a new index for measuring the longitudinal position of the subtropical high (SH) in the western Pacific is proposed to avoid the increasing trend of heights in the previous indices based on geopotential height. The years of extreme westward and eastward extension of SH using the new index are in good agreement with those defined by height index. There exists a distinct difference in large-scale circulation between the eastward and westward extension of SH under the new definition, which includes not only the circulation in the middle latitudes but also the flow in the lower latitudes. It seems that when the SH extends far to the east (west), the summer monsoon in the South China Sea is stronger (weaker) and established earlier (later). In addition, there exists a good relationship between the longitudinal position of SH and the summer rainfall in China. A remarkable negative correlation area appears in the Changjiang River valley, indicating that when the SH extends westward (eastward), the precipitation in that region increases (decreases). A positive correlation region is found in South China, showing the decrease of rainfall when the SH extends westward. On the other hand, the rainfall is heavier when the SH retreats eastward. However, the anomalous longitudinal position of SH is not significantly related to the precipitation in North China. The calculation of correlation coefficients between the index of longitudinal position of SH and surface temperature in China shows that a large area of positive values, higher than 0.6 in the center, covers the whole of North China, even extending eastward to the Korean Peninsula and Japan Islands when using NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data to do the correlation calculation. This means that when the longitudinal position of the SH withdraws eastward in summer, the temperature over North China is higher. On the other hand, when it moves westward, the temperature there is lower. This could explain the phenomenon of the seriously high temperatures over North China during recent summers, because the longitudinal position of SH in recent summers was located far away from the Asian continent. Another region with large negative correlation coefficients is found in South China.
