孟加拉湾西南季风与南海热带季风季节内振荡特征的比较

采用美国国家环境预报中心的向外长波辐射和风场资料及日本气象厅的降水资料,用30-60d滤波后的夏季风指数在孟加拉湾和南海的区域平均值分别代表孟加拉湾西南季风和南海热带季风季节内振荡,对两支季风的季节内振荡特征进行比较分析,发现孟加拉湾西南季风的季节内振荡和南海热带季风的季节内振荡在夏季风期间(5-10月)都有约3次半的波动.夏季风期间,在阿拉伯海-西太平洋纬带上,夏季风的季节内振荡有4次从阿拉伯海的东传和3次从西太平洋的西传,其中7月后东传可直达西太平洋.孟加拉湾和南海在夏季风期间都有4次季节内振荡的经向传播,但孟加拉湾在约15°N以南为季节内振荡从热带东印度洋的北传,在约15°N以北则为副热带季风季节内振荡的南传;而在南海则是4次季节内振荡从热带的北传.在以孟加拉湾西南季风季节内振荡和南海热带季风季节内振荡分别划分的6个位相中,都存在1-3位相和4-6位相中低频对流、环流形势相反的特征,这是由热带东印度洋季节内振荡的东传和北传所致.热带印度洋季节内振荡沿西南-东北向经过约14d传到孟加拉湾,激发了孟加拉湾西南季风季节内振荡的东传,经过约6d到达南海,激发了南海热带季风季节内振荡的北传,经过约25d到达华南,形成热带印度洋季节内振荡向华南的经纬向接力传播(45d).孟加拉湾西南季风季节内振荡所影响的降水主要是在20°N以南的热带雨带随低频对流的东移而东移;而南海热带季风季节内振荡所影响的降水除了这种热带雨带随低频对流的东移外,还有在20°N以北的东亚副热带地区存在雨带随南海低频对流的北移而北移.     

孟加拉湾季风爆发可预测性的分析和初步应用

基于季风区对流层中高层副高脊附近的经向温度梯度能表征季节转换和季风爆发的物理本质这一事实,使用1980—1999年过渡季节期间(3～5月)逐日和月平均的NCEP／NCAR高空温度场再分析资料,对该温度梯度潜在的预报季风爆发进行了分析。结果表明：在已知初始时刻孟加拉湾季风区对流层中高层经向温度梯度的前提下,依据初始时刻的经向温度梯度和气候平均的经向增温率梯度,可以对孟加拉湾季风爆发的迟早做出定性预测。另外,由于孟加拉湾地区季风爆发日期与3月份青藏高原上空对流层中高层气温有显著相关,故前期高原上空对流层中高层的气温高低也是判断孟加拉湾季风爆发迟早的重要因子。对2000年和2001年孟加拉湾季风爆发迟早定性预测的结果表明,这两种预报方法具有潜在的应用价值。     

Characteristics and vertical structure of oceanic mesoscale eddies in the Bay of Bengal

The signatures of mesoscale eddies induced surface and subsurface changes have not been comprehensively quantified for the Bay of Bengal (BoB) region. This study quantifies the statistical properties and three-dimensional (3D) eddy structures in the BoB. To accomplish this, the satellite altimetry data combined with automated eddy detection and tracking algorithm is used. Horizontal distribution of surface characteristics of eddies is analyzed by using 24 years (1993–2016) of AVHRR infrared satellite sea surface temperature (SST) and 7 years (2010–2016) of sea surface salinity (SSS) of SMOS satellite data. Surface eddy centric composite analysis reveals the existence of warm (cold) and diverse SSS anomalies for anticyclonic (cyclonic) eddies. During winter, it is important to note that the eddy induced SST and SSS anomalies show the dipole patterns show opposite phases for the cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies. Observed diploe structures are consistent with the eddy rotation and background large-scale meridional gradient of temperature and salinity fields. The 3D structure of eddies is investigated by using the ARMOR3D and Argo float profiles. The horizontal distribution of temperature and salinity anomalies from ARMOR3D signify the monopole structure of eddies in the subsurface layers. Further, the analysis of composite averages of 241 (200) Argo temperature profiles indicates the core of anticyclonic (cyclonic) eddies centered at about ∼140 m (∼100 m). However, salinity profiles depict the existence of core at ∼65 m (∼50 m). This study have practical relevance to a variety of stakeholders and finds profound importance in the validation of eddy-resolving ocean models for the BoB region.     

1998年南海、孟加拉湾夏季风期间动能收支特征

该文采用1998年加密观测资料经同化处理后得到的客观分析格点资料, 对南海地区和孟加拉湾地区的动能收支进行了诊断分析和对比, 得出: B区夏季风爆发, 其850 hPa区域平均总动能表现为爆发性增长, C区则表现为一个逐步增长的过程.越赤道气流通过南边界的动能输送对B区夏季风建立贡献很大, 西边界动能输入对C区夏季风建立也起了十分显著的作用.季风盛行期, B区夏季风动能的发展维持主要是动能水平通量散度的贡献, 其中西边界动能的流入贡献最大, 孟加拉湾夏季风的变化主要为印度季风影响所致; C区夏季风动能主要是依靠其区域内动能制造来维持.对于850 hPa层, B区主要通过斜压过程制造动能, 正压过程破坏更多的动能, C区主要是正压过程制造动能.两区对流层高层都为动能主要流出区, 而对流层低层, B区为动能流入区, C区为动能流出区.     

The Onset of the Monsoon over the Bay of Bengal: The Year-to-Year Variations

In situ buoy observation data spanning four years(2008-2011) were used to demonstrate the year-to-year variations of the monsoon onset processes in the Bay of Bengal(BoB).A significant early(late) monsoon onset event in 2009(2010) was analyzed in detail.It is found that the year-to-year variations of monsoon onset can be attributed to either the interannual variability in the BoB SST or the irregular activities of the intra-seasonal oscillation(ISO).This finding raises concern over the potential difficulties in simulating or predicting the monsoon onset in the BoB region.This uncertainty largely comes from the unsatisfactory model behavior at the intra-seasonal time scale.     

Quantification of ocean-atmosphere energy exchange during super cyclone Amphan in the Bay of Bengal using Indian Ocean moored observatories

Based on the in-situ subsurface thermal and salinity measurements from the Ocean Moored buoy network for Northern Indian Ocean (OMNI) during the Super Cyclone Amphan in the Bay of Bengal during 14–18 May 2020, we have identified that the ocean-atmosphere interaction is limited to 80 m, the depth of the pycnocline. Using the OAEE-TS algorithm and dynamic changes in the sea subsurface temperature, salinity and precipitation as inputs, we have calculated the water vapor generation rates for a range of wind speeds. Based on the salinity changes, the water vapor generation rates for cyclone period-averaged wind speeds of 9, 16 and 25 m/s were 0.86, 4.33 and 11.24 kg/m²/h, respectively. For the same wind speeds, based on the Ocean Heat Content (OHC) changes, ∼76, 86 and 95 % of the OHC changes were in the form of latent heat. The identified evaporation rate parameters along with the previous study results are presented as model which could be used as inputs for ocean-atmosphere coupled models and tropical cyclone intensification studies in the Bay of Bengal.     

亚洲夏季风爆发前后西北太平洋和孟加拉湾热带气旋活动统计特征

亚洲夏季风爆发始于孟加拉湾,然后向中国南海和印度次大陆扩展,其过程约持续1个月。各地区夏季风爆发时间呈明显的年际变化。利用热带气旋资料和气象再分析资料,统计了1951-2010年孟加拉湾和中国南海夏季风爆发前后西北太平洋热带气旋、孟加拉湾气旋风暴活动和夏季风爆发的关系。结果表明,在孟加拉湾夏季风爆发过程中,共有36 a出现孟加拉湾气旋风暴,并且夏季风爆发偏早年出现风暴的几率最高,为80%。在孟加拉湾夏季风爆发偏早、正常和偏晚3种类型中,孟加拉湾风暴活动频率高峰期多出现在夏季风爆发前后几天内。并且在孟加拉湾风暴活动频率高峰出现前期,西北太平洋热带气旋最先出现活动频率高峰。孟加拉湾夏季风爆发前有40%-50%的年份西北太平洋出现热带气旋活动,其中,夏季风爆发偏早年,爆发前西北太平洋热带气旋活跃的时间偏早（4月第2候）,且多活动在中国南海和菲律宾附近;爆发正常年,西北太平洋热带气旋活跃的时间为4月第4候,多活动在略偏东的海域;爆发偏晚年,西北太平洋热带气旋活跃的时间为5月初,活动区域最偏东。中国南海夏季风爆发过程中,60 a中共有29 a西北太平出现热带气旋,其中爆发偏早和正常年出现热带气旋的频率较高,并且热带气旋多出现在爆发当日和爆发后一段时间。整体来看,亚洲夏季风爆发前,西北太平洋热带气旋活动频率最先开始增强,然后孟加拉湾风暴开始活跃并伴随着孟加拉湾夏季风爆发,夏季风爆发偏早和正常年,孟加拉湾夏季风爆发后,西北太平洋热带气旋再次增强,中国南海夏季风爆发。      

孟加拉湾风暴Mala结构及对云南强降水的影响

利用实时观测资料和NCEP(1°×1°)的6 h再分析资料,对2006年春季发生在孟加拉湾的超强风暴Mala的移动路径、强度变化、环流背景以及风暴温湿场、动力场特征等进行分析。结果表明:Mala在阿拉伯副热带高压和西太平洋副热带高压两高间辐合区生成、加强,并沿西太平洋副热带高压西侧西南或偏南气流移动。风暴发展、成熟到消亡,湿度对风暴的作用比温度明显;动力场结构除具有台风结构的一般特征外,在风暴发展期,中心附近散度场从低层到高层为辐合和辐散交替结构,表明风暴内部高空辐散抽吸作用对于风暴发展起到重要作用。登陆后风暴低压内自身能量和水汽与冷空气共同作用下,在冷暖交汇处出现强烈的上升运动和激发出中尺度辐合线是造成云南强降水主要原因。     

Cloud Condensation Nuclei over the Bay of Bengal during the Indian Summer Monsoon

The first measurements of cloud condensation nuclei(CCN) at five supersaturations were carried out onboard the research vessel "Sagar Kanya"(cruise SK-296) from the south to the head-bay of the Bay of Bengal as part of the Continental Tropical Convergence Zone(CTCZ) Project during the Indian summer monsoon of 2012. In this paper, we assess the diurnal variation in CCN distributions at supersaturations from 0.2% to 1%(in steps of 0.2%) and the power-law fit at supersaturation of 1%.The diurnal pattern shows peaks in CCN concentration(NCCN) at supersaturations from 0.2% to 1% between 0600 and 0700 LST(local standard time, UTC+0530), with relatively low concentrations between 1200 and 1400 LST, followed by a peak at around 1800 LST. The power-law fit for the CCN distribution at different supersaturation levels relates the empirical exponent(k) of supersaturation(%) and the NCCNat a supersaturation of 1%. The NCCNat a supersaturation of 0.4% is observed to vary from 702 cm~(-3) to 1289 cm~(-3), with a mean of 961 ± 161 cm~(-3)(95% confidence interval), representing the CCN activity of marine air masses. Whereas, the mean NCCNof 1628 ± 193 cm~(-3) at a supersaturation of 1% is higher than anticipated for the marine background. When the number of CCN spectra is 1293, the value of k is 0.57 ± 0.03(99% confidence interval)and its probability distribution shows cumulative counts significant at k ≈ 0.55 ± 0.25. The results are found to be better at representing the features of the marine environment(103 cm~(-3) and k ≈ 0.5) and useful for validating CCN closure studies for Indian sea regions.     

An Analysis of the Characteristics of Monsoon Onset over the Bay of Bengal and the South China Sea in 2010

Based on NCEP/NCAR daily reanalysis and the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission data, the background atmospheric circulation and the characteristics of meteorological elements during the period of the Bay of Bengal monsoon (BOBM) and the South China Sea (SCS) monsoon (SCSM) in 2010 are studied. The impacts of the BOBM onset on the SCSM onset and the relationship between the two monsoons are also analyzed. The two main results are as follows. (1) The BOBM onset obviously occurs earlier than the SCSM onset in 2010, which is a typical onset process of the Asian monsoon. During the BOBM’s onset, northward jump, and eastward expansion, convective precipitation and southwest winds occurred over the SCS, which resulted in the onset of the SCSM. (2) The relationship among strong convection, heavy rainfall, and vertical circulation configuration is obtained during the monsoon onsets over the BOB and SCS, and it is concluded that the South Asian High plays an important role in this period.     

Role of Western Pacific Oceanic Variability in the Onset of the Bay of Bengal Summer Monsoon

The influence of the tropical Indo-Pacific Ocean heat content on the onset of the Bay of Bengal summer monsoon(BOBSM) onset was investigated using atmospheric data from the NCEP and ocean subsurface temperature data from the Japan Metorology Agency(JMA).Results showed that the onset time of the BOBSM is highly related to the tropical Pacific upper ocean heat content(HC),especially in the key region of the western Pacific warm pool(WPWP),during the preceding winter and spring.When the HC anomalies in the WPWP are positive(negative),the onset of the BOBSM is usually early(late).Accompanied by the variation of the convection activity over the WPWP,mainly induced by the underlying ocean temperature anomalies,the Walker circulation becomes stronger or weaker.This enhances or weakens the westerly over the tropical Indian Ocean flowing into the BOB in the boreal spring,which is essential to BOBSM onset.The possible mechanism of influence of cyclonic/anti-cyclonic circulation over the northwestern tropical Pacific on BOBSM onset is also discussed.     

初夏孟加拉湾低压与云南雨季开始期

通过对46年(1961—2006年)的初夏(4月21日~5月31日)孟加拉湾低压的研究,发现影响云南雨季开始期的初夏孟加拉湾低压系统源地大致位于9°~12°N,88°~91°E之间,较强的低压系统从源地移出后分别沿着两条路径影响云南,这两条路径对应着不同强弱的南亚高压环流。初夏孟加拉湾低压出现频率与云南雨季开始早晚有明显的负相关关系。前期3月中南半岛附近海域的对流强(弱),则有(不)利于初夏孟加拉湾地区产生低压系统。初夏孟加拉湾低压与前期南印度洋海温呈负相关,当南印度洋海温下降(上升)时,有(不)利于孟加拉湾地区对流加强、低压系统生成。     

登陆孟湾风暴结构演变特征数值模拟研究

利用MM5V3中尺度数值模式对2004年5月19日登陆的孟湾风暴进行了数值模拟分析,讨论了风暴中心移动路径,分析了风暴登陆前后的流场、动力场和热力场结构,并与西太平洋登陆台风的结构变化做了比较。结果表明,风暴中心的模拟路径与实况路径虽有一定误差,但总趋势均向东北方向移动,表明模式对本个例的模拟预报可以参考;孟湾风暴登陆前后,其结构与登陆台风变性阶段一样,经历了从热带气旋的基本对称的垂直分布结构演变到斜压非对称结构;风暴登陆后,由于地形和冷空气的作用,动力场和热力场表现为对流层中低层锋区增强、倾斜涡度发展,导致对流不稳定和斜压不稳定。     

孟加拉湾的叶绿素a,海表温度和风速的趋势

孟加拉湾（BoB）是一个高能量活跃的地区,其短期内的动态变化将对浮游环境产生巨大影响."风泵"能够在BoB海域导致垂直的混合从而影响海表温度和叶绿素浓度.本文对2006——2016年的月平均Aqua-MODIS叶绿素a （chl-a）浓度数据和Sea WiFS月度气候态数据进行了分析,研究了叶绿素浓度的时间/季节变化和温度以及风速的关系.基于季风期间的chl-a变异与海表温度（SST）,评估了在BoB海域它们之间的关系和变化.chl-a浓度值的趋势分析表明,该区域的垂直混合非常低,冬季最高,夏季最低.冬季最大chl-a浓度值为0.50 mg/m³,并且从2月开始下降到夏季季风期间.与冬季季风相比,夏季季风期间叶绿素表现出较低的浓度.在夏季季风期间,特别是在7月和8月,由于云层密集,卫星传感器无法准确捕获chl-a浓度值.chl-a浓度和SST之间相关系数R²值为0.218 1.     

5月孟加拉湾风暴不同移动路径典型个例的大气环境场对比分析

利用JTWC最佳路径数据集及欧洲中心ERA-Interim再分析资料,分析了5月孟加拉湾气旋和风暴的活动特征,并重点分析了4个不同路径的典型孟加拉湾风暴大气环境场差异,初步探讨了影响风暴移动的关键大气环流因子。研究表明:5月孟加拉湾风暴路径分为北上、东北移、西北移、转向4种,其中东北移路径最多,北上路径最少;孟加拉湾风暴的生成和移动与阿拉伯副热带高压和西太平洋副热带高压的相对强弱和位置,以及中高纬度槽脊波动密切联系,同时还与孟加拉湾风暴的生成位置有一定关系,10°N以北孟加拉湾海域生成的风暴容易东北移,10°N以南孟加拉湾海域生成的风暴却容易西北移,这与西太平洋副热带高压边缘不同引导气流的作用有关;孟加拉湾风暴移动路径还与高空急流变化有关,风暴有趋于高空急流右侧辐散区运动的趋势;孟加拉湾风暴生成于弱的垂直纬向风切变区,纬向风移动增强的方向指示孟加拉湾风暴移动的方向。     

初夏孟加拉湾风暴与前期印度洋海温的关系研究

利用美国联合台风警报中心JTWC发布的自1972年以来的北印度洋风暴数据,美国国家环境预测中心和国家大气研究中心NCEP/NCAR逐月再分析资料和日本气象厅JMA月平均海表面温度SST资料,分析了初夏4、5月孟加拉湾风暴活动与前期印度洋海温的关系。结果表明:4、5月孟加拉湾TS活动与前期1—3月澳大利亚以西海域海温呈显著的负相关,即冬末春初海温偏高时,4、5月孟加拉湾(简称孟湾,下同)TS爆发偏少、爆发时间偏晚或者不发生;而关键区海温偏低时,如果30°S以北的印度洋海温稍偏冷(暖),而西南印度洋和东南印度洋海温则稍偏暖(冷),则初夏孟湾TS不爆发(多发、早发)。进一步分析显示由东南印度洋海温偏高(低),引起的局地环流变化导致了马斯克林高压偏弱(强),从而引起东半球越赤道气流偏弱(强),是初夏孟湾TS爆发晚(早)、不(多)发生的可能的主要原因。而且,当索马里越赤道气流和新几内亚越赤道气流存在弱的反位相协同变化时,对孟湾TS有较好的指示意义。     

近20 a孟加拉湾海表温度变化对南海夏季风爆发早晚的影响

基于美国NOAA现代极高分辨率辐射仪(Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer)提供的1993—2012年逐日海表温度(SST)资料,利用季节经验正交函数(S-EOF)和相关分析等统计方法,研究了孟加拉湾海表温度变化对南海夏季风爆发的影响。结果表明,孟加拉湾的(6~14°N,85~95°E)海区海表温度变化对南海夏季风爆发早晚具有重要指示意义,该海区海表温度异常(SSTA)与南海夏季风的爆发日期存在密切的正相关,通过了0.05信度的显著性检验,即当孟加拉湾海表温度正(负)异常时,南海夏季风晚(早)爆发。应用德国马普气象研究所的ECHAM5全球大气环流模式在孟加拉湾关键海区进行了敏感性数值试验,发现在关键海区降低其5月海表温度02℃的情况下,南海夏季风爆发日期相应提前5 d左右,而在升高02℃情况下,南海夏季风推后10 d左右爆发。在孟加拉湾5月海表温度降低的情况下,促使80~100°E的越赤道气流增强,南海区域西风分量增强,进而促使南海夏季风提前爆发。     

Statistical and Comparative Analysis of Tropical Cyclone Activity over the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal (1977–2018)

A statistical comparative analysis of tropical cyclone activity over the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal (BoB) has been conducted using best-track data and wind radii information from 1977 to 2018 issued by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. Results have shown that the annual variation in the frequency and duration of tropical cyclones has a significant increasing trend over the Arabian Sea and an insignificant decreasing trend over the BoB. The monthly frequency of tropical cyclones in both the Arabian Sea and the BoB shows a notable bimodal character, with peaks occurring in May and October–November, respectively. The maximum frequency of tropical cyclones occurs in the second peak as a result of the higher moisture content at mid-levels in the autumn. However, the largest proportion of strong cyclones (H1–H5 grades) occurs in the first peak as a result of the higher sea surface temperatures in early summer. Tropical cyclones in the Arabian Sea break out later during the first peak and activity ends earlier during the second peak, in contrast with those in the over BoB. This is related to the onset and drawback times of the southwest monsoon in the two basins. Tropical cyclones in the Arabian Sea are mainly generated in the eastern basin, whereas in the BoB the genesis locations have a meridional (zonal) distribution in May–June (October–November) as a result of the seasonal movement of the low-level positive vorticity belt. The Arabian Sea is dominated by western and northwestern tropical cyclones by that track west and NW, accounting for about 74.6%, whereas the tropical cyclones with a NE track account for only 25.4%. The proportions of the three types of tracks are similar in the BoB, with each accounting for about 33% of the tropical cyclones. The mean intensity and size of tropical cyclones over the Arabian Sea are stronger and larger, respectively, than those over the BoB and the size of tropical cyclones over the North Indian Ocean in early summer is larger than that in autumn. The asymmetrical structure of tropical cyclones over North Indian Ocean is affected by the topography and the longest radius of the 34 kt surface wind often lies in the eastern quadrant of the tropical cyclone circulation in both sea areas.

孟加拉湾春季小型暖池对热带气旋的影响研究

本文研究了2017年春季孟加拉湾小型暖池对热带气旋Maarutha（4月14-17日）以及热带气旋Mora（5月27-30日）的影响.利用卫星遥感和现场观测数据分析发现,尽管春季孟加拉湾热带气旋确实能引起海洋上层冷却效应,但是其冷却强度受到暖池强度的影响.本文进一步对比孟加拉湾小型暖池对两个热带气旋的响应情况,发现当春季小型暖池的温度大于31℃（热带气旋Mora期间）,暖池效应能有效抑制海洋上层混合层的加深,降低热带气旋引起的潜热通量损失带来的冷却效应,并在一定程度上加强了热带气旋.     

Intensity of the Trough over the Bay of Bengal and Its Impact on the Southern China Precipitation in Winter

In this study, the intensity of the trough over the Bay of Bengal (BBT) and its association with the southern China precipitation, the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) and the Rossby wave propagation along the African-Asian subtropical Jet stream (AASJ) are investigated on the intraseasonal time scale. The results show that the intensity of the BBT affects the southern China precipitation more directly and to a greater degree than the MJO. The peak amplitude of the BBT tended to occur in phase-3 of the MJO. The strong BBT was substantially modulated by the Rossby wave propagation along the AASJ, which was triggered by the anomalous upstream circulation similar to the pattern of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). Therefore, from the perspective of medium- and extended-range weather forecasts, the NAO- like pattern may be regarded as a precursory signal for the strong BBT and thus the southern China precipitation.
