热带气旋的登陆及其与中纬度环流系统相互作用的研究

热带气旋的主要灾害往往在登陆前后造成，登陆问题是当今热带气旋 研究的重点。热带气旋与中纬度环流系统相互作用，不仅影响热带气旋的结构和强度变化， 也对中纬度地区天气产生重大影响。西风槽强度的变化可使热带气旋的降水突然 增幅３０％。环境场的急剧调整常引起热带气旋运动突变，在弱环境场中，热带气旋的异常运 动与非对称结构关系紧密。中纬度系统对热带气旋的非对称结构有重要影响。另一方面，热 带气旋向极移动过程中携带了大量可供中纬度地区降水的水汽，在气旋性切变的环境场中， 热带气旋还向环境场输送能量，并激发和增强中纬度气旋性环流系统的发展，触发严重的灾 害性天气。热带气旋有时也会截断低纬向中纬度的水汽输送及中纬度波动的能量频散，９５％ 左右的南海热带气旋对梅雨有显著影响，其中约８６％的热带气旋会导致梅雨减弱中断甚至结 束。     

基于福建地方标准的热带气旋气候特征分析

基于1961—2020年热带气旋个例及风雨影响数据,采用2014年福建省地方标准,应用数理统计方法分析登陆和影响福建的热带气旋气候特征。结果表明,60a来登陆和影响福建热带气旋总数为646个,平均每年约10.8个,呈减少趋势。其中,登陆福建的热带气旋约1.7个,近30a来呈增加趋势;影响福建的热带气旋约9.1个,呈减少趋势。热带气旋登陆和影响福建的集中期在7—9月,强度多在强热带风暴等级以上(86.7%),给福建带来风雨影响兼有的热带气旋占比最大(59.4%)。     

影响大西洋热带风暴Debby（2006）的干空气源地分析

干空气影响热带气旋活动的研究受到越来越多的重视。大西洋地区热带气旋的活动不仅受撒哈拉干暖空气层（SAL）的影响,还受副高下沉干空气的影响。通过模拟2006年大西洋地区SAL的活动以及热带风暴Debby等热带气旋的活动,着重研究影响Debby三个不同发展阶段的干空气源地。研究发现,从对流层中层进入热带风暴内核地区的干空气,除了以上两个源地外还包括来自中纬度对流层低层的干空气,以及来自中高纬度下沉气流的干空气。在Debby生成之初,中层有35.7%的格点气团来自干空气,其中51.9%来自SAL的干空气,剩余的干空气分别来自副高下沉气流及中纬度对流层低层运动的干空气。随着Debby逐渐向西北方向移动,来自SAL的干空气逐渐减少,来自中高纬度下沉气流的干空气逐渐占主导。      

热带气旋与中纬度环流系统相互作用的研究进展

热带气旋在热带洋面生成后大多向极移动，其结构、强度、移动路径及风雨等均受中纬度环流系统及地形的影响，同时，热带气旋携带的大量水汽和热带扰动能量向中纬度的输送，有利于激发和增强中纬度环流系统的发展，产生严重的灾害性天气。近年来，热带气旋与中纬度环流系统的相互作用已成为国际台风界的研究焦点之一。简要概述了该领域的研究进展，旨在为进一步探讨其相互作用机制及寻找业务转化途径，最终提高热带气旋及中纬度转折性的灾害性天气预报精度奠定基础。     

孟加拉湾气旋风暴研究回顾

活动于阿拉伯海和孟加拉湾地区的热带气旋称为气旋性风暴,约占全球热带气旋年均生成总数的10%,其中活跃于孟加拉湾的气旋性风暴是造成中国西南地区强降水的主要天气系统之一。本文简要回顾了过去几十年来国内外在孟加拉湾风暴生成源地、发生频数、移动路径和生命史等方面的活动特征以及结构特征、活动机理,及其对中国天气的影响等方面的研究成果,并在此基础上指出了孟湾风暴研究中存在的问题。     

西北太平洋热带气旋残留低压对中国大陆地区降水的影响

西北太平洋热带气旋(TC)是影响中国降水的重要天气系统,其减弱后的残留低压(TCRL)仍然携带大量的水汽和能量,给其经过之处带来强降水。为分析热带气旋残留低压对中国降水的影响,采用客观方法从ERA-40和ERA-Interim再分析资料中识别出热带气旋对应的气旋,从而得到热带气旋残留低压活动资料。将残留低压的活动路径分为东北路径、东南沿海路径和西行路径3类,采用客观天气图分析法(OSAT)得到残留低压影响下的降水分布,对残留低压的活动路径和降水的分析结果表明,文中采用的方法能追踪得到热带气旋的完整生命史,在1958-2014年进入警戒区的718个热带气旋中,追踪得到706个对应的气旋,追踪的气旋中心与热带气旋中心平均距离131 km;共443个热带气旋有对应的残留低压,平均持续时间48.5 h,1 d以上的残留低压共293个,占66.1%,残留低压的持续时间与对应的热带气旋强度没有显著的关系,夏季残留低压持续时间较冬季长;对内陆地区的影响残留低压较热带气旋更为显著,降水影响自东南向西北减少,影响范围较热带气旋西扩,强度更大;东北路径主要进入地区为东北和华东地区,影响中国东部地区的降水;东南沿海路径影响范围最广,影响降水的强度最大;西行路径进入范围仅华南和西南地区,主要影响中国南部地区的降水,降水强度最小。      

西南太平洋地区(135°E——150°W)的热带气旋分析

本文利用西南太平洋地区近12年的热带气旋资料,给出了热带气旋活动频数;同时还运用达尔文区域气象中心发布的部分资料,结合1984至85年度热带气旋活动的特点,从多种不同角度讨论和分析了热带气旋活动多和少的不同环流特征,找出热带气旋发生较为有利的地区。最后还发现该区域热带气旋移动的引导层可能不同于西北太平洋地区,以及一种南太平洋地区热带气旋形成的高低层流场配置。      

热带气旋影响下深圳地区闪电特征研究

研究热带气旋影响下广东省深圳地区的闪电特征及规律。利用2012—2019年西北太平洋热带气旋历史数据,筛选出2012—2019年距离深圳市国家气象基本站1 000 km内的热带气旋,按热带气旋强度等级进行分组。并利用同时期深圳地区闪电、温度观测数据,研究不同等级热带气旋在不同距离、方位角情况下,深圳地区的闪电特征。发现热带气旋影响下深圳地区闪电年际差异很大,一年中7月和8月深圳地区闪电活动最活跃。热带气旋对深圳地区闪电活动影响大的距离大多为400 km以外,即深圳处于热带气旋的外围雨带。总体上在台风季,TD、TS、STS较易引发深圳地区的闪电,尤其是当TS位于福建地区,距离深圳400～600 km时,极易给深圳地区带来闪电影响。研究结果可为深圳地区的防台减灾工作提供科技参考。     

2013年9月大气环流和天气分析

2013年9月环流特征如下：极涡分裂,主体位于西半球;里海以北有阻塞形势出现,西太平洋副高强度较常年偏强、位置偏西。全国平均降水量69.3 mm,较常年同期偏多6.1%,华西部分地区秋雨明显,河南北部等地降水量不足常年20%,有中到重度气象干旱;全国平均气温16.8℃,较常年同期偏高0.2℃。9月我国的大范围强降水过程有2次,其中一次与热带气旋活动有关。9月共有8个热带气旋在南海和西北太平洋活动,较常年同期平均偏多3个,其中“天兔”是近40年来登陆粤东沿海的最强台风。全国17个省（区、市）发生风雹灾害;我国中东部出现雾霾天气。     

北上热带气旋气候特征分析

北上热带气旋是影响我国华北和东北地区的重要天气系统,其带来的大风和暴雨,常常造成我国北方地区的风灾和水灾。利用建国以来56 a的气象资料,对影响我国的北上热带气旋进行气候分析。结果表明:从时间上看,平均每年约有3个北上热带气旋,最早出现在5月下旬,最晚出现在11月中旬,其中以7月和8月为最多;每年6—9月为北上热带气旋登陆季节,7月和8月登陆的热带气旋占85%。从强度上看,能够到达北方的热带气旋一般都是较强的热带气旋,在进入北上热带气旋定义区后,总体强度明显减弱,但在进入黄渤海时仍能够达到台风的强度;与北上热带气旋相比,北上登陆热带气旋的强度更大。统计分析发现,在辽宁和华北登陆的热带气旋,其强度大于在山东半岛登陆的热带气旋。北上登陆热带气旋和北转向、中转向的热带气旋一般均能产生暴雨和大风。     

热带气旋的体积及与强度关系的研究

热带气旋(TC)的结构(含形态)与强度及其变化关系密切,著名的Dvorak定强技术即为TC形态(水平)变化与强度关系的生动描述,近年来水平尺度与强度变化的关系也渐受关注。然而,至今未涉及整体形态(即体积)与TC强度变化的关系。利用欧洲中期数值预报中心(ECMWF)0.25 °的ERA-Interim再分析资料,统计并初步分析了2006—2015年西北太平洋TC的外围水平尺度和“体积”的特征及其与强度的可能关系:水平尺度与TC强度的相关性总体较弱;而TC“体积”与强度的相关性更显著,且TC“体积”随强度增强而增大的关系适用于所有强度级别;此外,TC垂直尺度(正涡度区伸展高度)与强度也有一定的正相关,且在TC较弱时(台风强度以下)更显著。伴随较弱TC增强的主要是垂直尺度的增大,当TC达到台风强度后,与TC强度继续增强相伴随的主要是水平尺度的增大。TC“体积”能较好地综合表征水平尺度和垂直尺度与TC强度变化的关系,借助TC“体积”对TC强度预报有一定的参考价值。      

Impact of initial storm intensity and size on the simulation of tropical cyclone track and western Pacific subtropical high extent

Typhoon Megi, the 13th typhoon of the 2010 typhoon season, was selected for case study by utilizing the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. Twelve sensitivity experiments with various initial tropical cyclone (TC) intensities and sizes were conducted to investigate their impacts on the simulation of typhoon track. Interaction between TC and the western Pacific subtropical high (WPSH) was also analyzed to explore the mechanism for the impact on TC track of the initial TC intensity and size. Numerical results indicate that the simulated TC size and TC track are sensitive to initial TC intensity and size. Stronger initial TC intensity and larger initial TC size often lead to larger simulated TC size and make TC turn northward earlier. Further analysis suggests that, with the increase of initial TC intensity and size, more air mass enters into the TC region, which subsequently reduces the extent of WPSH. As a result, the steering flow changes significantly and eventually causes the TC to turn northward earlier. The present study confirms that the initial TC intensity and size have certain influences on the TC track simulation, which demonstrates the importance of accurate initial condition for successful simulation of the TC intensity and TC track. Moreover, it also deepens our understanding of the interaction between TC and WPSH, provides helpful clues for the TC track change study, and discusses the future directions for improvement of TC track forecast.     

Simulated sensitivity of tropical cyclone track to the moisture in an idealized monsoon gyre

In this study, the sensitivity of tropical cyclone (TC) track to the moisture condition in a nearby monsoon gyre (MG) is investigated. Numerical simulations reveal that TC track is highly sensitive to the spatial distribution of relative humidity (RH). In an experiment conducted with higher (lower) RH in the eastern (western) semicircle of an MG, the TC experiences a sharp northward turning. In contrast, when the RH pattern is reversed, the simulated TC does not show a sharp northward turning. The RH distribution modulates the intensity and structure of both the TC and MG, so that when the TC is initially embedded in a moister environment, convection is enhanced in the outer core, which favors an expansion of the outer core size. A TC with a larger outer size has greater beta-effect propagation, favoring a faster westward translational speed. Meanwhile, higher RH enhances the vorticity gradient within the MG and promotes a quicker attraction between the TC and MG centers through vorticity segregation process. These cumulative effects cause the TC to collocate with the MG center. Once the coalescence process takes place, the energy dispersion associated with the TC and MG is enhanced, which rapidly strengthens southwesterly flows on the eastern flanks. The resulting steering flow leads the TC to take a sharp northward track.     

基于改进的累积气旋能量指数评估西北太平洋TC活动与ENSO的关系

采用1977—2008年日本气象厅(JMA)TC最佳路径集资料和美国气候预测中心(CPC)的ENSO资料,设计了一个考虑热带气旋(TC)尺度信息的累积气旋能量指数(SACE),据此分析了西北太平洋TC活动与ENSO之间的关系。结果表明:相比于不考虑尺度效应的ACE,引入TC尺度信息的SACE增加了较大强度、较大尺度TC活动水平的权重,能够更加准确地刻画TC强度及其影响,其与Ni1o指数的相关性进一步增强。SACE能够更好地表征西北太平洋TC活动与ENSO年际变化的关系,其对ENSO位相的依赖性相对于ACE更为敏感,是一个能更好预测ENSO状态的因子。TC强度、生命史、频数以及尺度均对SACE有一定的贡献,但生命史的贡献最大,这一方面说明ENSO主要通过调制TC生命史来影响SACE,另一方面也说明相对于强度、频数和尺度而言,TC生命史更能影响SACE中的ENSO信号。     

The Uncertainty of Tropical Cyclone Intensity and Structure Based on Different Parameterization Schemes of Planetary Boundary Layer

Based on different parameterization schemes of planetary boundary layer (PBL), the uncertainty of intensity and structure of the Super-strong Typhoon Rammasun (1409) is investigated using the WRF model (v3.4) with six PBL parameterization schemes. Results indicate that PBL uncertainty leads to the uncertainty in tropical cyclone (TC) prediction, which increases with forecast time. The uncertainty in TC prediction is mainly reflected in the uncertainty in TC intensity, with significant differences in the TC intensity forecasts using various PBL schemes. The uncertainty in TC prediction is also reflected in the uncertainty in TC structures. Greater intensity is accompanied by smaller vortex width, tighter vortex structure, stronger wind in the near-surface layer and middle and lower troposphere, stronger inflow (outflow) wind at the lower (upper) levels, stronger vertical upward wind, smaller thickness of the eye wall, smaller outward extension of the eye wall, and warmer warm core at the upper levels of eye. PBL height, surface upward heat flux and water vapor flux are important factors that cause the uncertainty in TC intensity and structure. The more surface upward heat flux and water vapor flux and the lower PBL height, the faster TC development and the stronger TC intensity.     

西北太平洋海温增暖对热带气旋潜在破坏力的影响:高分辨模式个例分析

以三个西北太平洋热带气旋（TC）为例,利用WRF（Weather Research and Forecasting）模式进行了一系列海表温度（SST）敏感性数值试验,揭示了西北太平洋SST增暖对TC的强度、尺度及潜在破坏力的影响及其机理。结果表明,在距TC中心100 km以内区域的SST升高有利于TC强度增加,但会减小TC内核尺度;而在距TC中心100 km以外的SST升高并不会使TC强度明显增加甚至使TC强度减弱,但同时会增加TC内核尺度。伴随着低层向眼墙的入流,升高的外区SST会使TC区表层的大气温度和湿度升高,造成眼墙附近海气温差和湿度差及向内的气压梯度力减小,进而减少进入TC眼墙内的感热和潜热,不利于TC增强,但有利于眼墙向外移动,使TC内核尺度增加。内区SST升高与外区SST升高对TC强度及尺度变化的作用机理相反。因此,当TC移过冷或暖洋面时,TC的强度和尺度的变化不仅取决于局地洋面的冷或暖状况,还取决于TC内区和外区SST的差异。由于TC内区和外区SST对TC强度和内核尺度的不同作用,可能存在一个临界范围,当暖池范围在这个临界范围之内时TC潜在破坏力随暖池范围的扩大而增大,但当暖池范围超过这个临界范围时TC潜在破坏力便不会随着暖池范围的继续扩大而增大,甚至会有所减小。      

TOVS中热带气旋结构及其在数值预报中的应用

利用TOVS资料分析了2000年几个热带气旋的结构,发现与经典概念模型所描述的结构有一定的差异,主要表现在:(1)在水平结构上,非对称结构呈多样性,高度场的低层低值中心(或高层高值中心)与温度场的高值中心并不一定重合;(2)在垂直结构上,高度场的低层低值距平与高层高值距平的配置也呈多样性,特别是存在上、下层距平中心倾斜,或高层只是处于高压区的边缘,不存在明显的高值距平中心与热带气旋相对应.还参照TOVS中的热带气旋结构,进行了修订热带气旋数值预报模式系统中人造台风模型(台风BOGUS)结构的研究,发现修订后的台风BOGUS 能够更好地与环境场协调,并且能对热带气旋的路径预报取得较好的效果.这一方面说明了台风BOGUS的结构对其路径预报有较大的影响,另一方面也说明利用TOVS资料中的热带气旋结构能改善热带气旋路径预报.这也为台风BOGUS的修订和发展提供了依据.     

Surface Rainfall Processes during the Genesis Period of Tropical Cyclone Durian(2001)

The rainfall processes during the formation of tropical cyclone(TC) Durian(2001) were investigated quantitatively using the three-dimensional(3 D) WRF-based precipitation equation. The rain rate(PS) decreased slightly as the TC approached to formation, and then increased as Durian began to intensify. The rate of moisture-related processes(QWV) in the equation contributed around 80% to PSbefore TC genesis, and made more contribution during and after TC genesis. The rate of hydrometeor-related processes(QCM) contributed about 20% before TC formation, followed by less contribution during and after TC formation. QWVwere dominated by the 3 D moisture flux advection rate(QWVA), while the surface evaporation rate(QWVE) also played an important role. Just before TC genesis, moisture from QWVAand QWVEhelped the local atmosphere moisten(negative QWVL). QCMwere determined by the 3 D hydrometeor advection rates(QCLAand QCIA) and the local change rates of hydrometeors(QCLLand QCIL). During TC formation, QCMlargely decreased and then reactivated as Durian began to intensify, accompanied by the development of TC cloud. Both the height and the strength of the net latent heating center associated with microphysical processes generally lowered before and during TC genesis, resulting mainly from lessening deposition and condensation. The downward shift of the net latent heating center induced a more bottom-heavy upward mass flux profile, suggesting to promote lower-tropospheric convergence in a shallower layer, vorticity amplification and TC spin-up.     

STATISTICAL AND COMPOSITE ANALYSIS OF RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE NUMBER OF CONVECTIVE CORES AND THE CHARACTERISTICS OF TBB WITHIN THE TROPICAL CYCLONE CIRCULATION AND ITS INTENSITY

Based on the data(including radius of maximum winds) from the JTWC(Joint Typhoon Warning Center),the tropical cyclones(TCs) radii of the outermost closed isobar, TCs best tracks from Shanghai Typhoon Institute and the Black Body Temperature(TBB) of the Japanese geostationary meteorological satellite M1 TR IR1, and combining13 tropical cyclones which landed in China again after visiting the island of Taiwan during the period from 2001 to2010, we analyzed the relationship between the number of convective cores within TC circulation and the intensity of TC with the method of convective-stratiform technique(CST) and statistical and composite analysis. The results are shown as follows:(1) The number of convective cores in the entire TC circulation is well corresponding with the outer spiral rainbands and the density of convective cores in the inner core area increases(decreases) generally with increasing(decreasing) TC intensity. At the same time, the number of convective cores within the outer spiral rainbands is more than that within the inner core and does not change much with the TC intensity. However, the density of convective cores within the outer spiral rainbands is lower than that within the inner core.(2) The relationship described above is sensitive to landing location to some extent but not sensitive to the structure of TC.(3) The average value of TBB in the inner core area increases(decreases) generally with increasing(decreasing) of TC intensity, which is also sensitive to landing situation to some extent. At the same time, the average value of TBB within the outer spiral rainbands is close to that within the entire TC circulation, and both of them are more than that within the inner core. However, they do not reflect TC intensity change significantly.(4) The results of statistical composite based on convective cores and TBB are complementary with each other, so a combination of both can reflect the relationship between TC rainbands and TC intensity much better.     

An Application of the Adjoint Method to a Statistical-Dynamical Tropical-Cyclone Prediction Model (SD-90) Ⅱ: Real Tropical Cyclone Cases

In the first paper in this series, a variational data assimilation of ideal tropical cyclone (TC) tracks was performed for the statistical-dynamical prediction model SD-90 by the adjoint method, and a prediction of TC tracks was made with good accuracy for tracks containing no sharp turns. In the present paper, the cases of real TC tracks are studied. Due to the complexity of TC motion, attention is paid to the diagnostic research of TC motion. First, five TC tracks are studied. Using the data of each entire TC track, by the adjoint method, five TC tracks are fitted well, and the forces acting on the TCs are retrieved. For a given TC, the distribution of the resultant of the retrieved force and Coriolis force well matches the corresponding TC track, i.e., when a TC turns, the resultant of the retrieved force and Coriolis force acts as a centripetal force, which means that the TC indeed moves like a particle; in particular, for TC 9911, the clockwise looping motion is also fitted well. And the distribution of the resultant appears to be periodic in some cases. Then, the present method is carried out for a portion of the track data for TC 9804, which indicates that when the amount of data for a TC track is sufficient, the algorithm is stable. And finally, the same algorithm is implemented for TCs with a double-eyewall structure, namely Bilis (2000) and Winnie (1997),and the results prove the applicability of the algorithm to TCs with complicated mesoscale structures if the TC track data are obtained every three hours.
