STABILITY AND POTENTIAL PREDICTABILITY OF ANNUAL PERCIPITATION OVER CHINA

The precipitation is a primary element which directly affects the agricultural production of thecountry with one fifth of the world population.With the economic development the water resourcestress is getting greater.In this paper,based on the data at 162 stations selected evenly over Chinafrom 1960 to 1991 the stability and potential predictability of annual precipitation have been stud-ied.The eastern and southern parts of the country having abundant precipitation enjoy more stableprecipitation.The north and northwest parts of the country where the precipitations are deficienthave unstable precipitations.The potential predictability approximates to the ratio of the estimatedinterannual variance to the climatic noise.Generally the annual precipitation over China is poten-tially predictable.In the area between the Huanghe River and Changjiang River and the east ofnortheastern China the potential predictability is the lowest in the country.In the north and north-west of the country the potential predictability is greater.The southeastern coast has relatively lowvalues of potential predictability.Also,the method of estimating climatic noise of annual precipita-tion has been discussed from the idea of Yamamoto et al.(1985)in order to estimate the potentialpredictability.

POTENTIAL PREDICTABILITY OF MONTHLY PRECIPITATION OVER CHINA

In this paper,based on the data at 70 stations selected evenly over China for 31 years from1961—1991.three methods to estimate climatic noise have been discussed and then the climaticnoise and potential predictability of monthly precipitation(January.July.April and October)havebeen examined.The estimating of climatic noise is based on the method of Madden and improvedmethods of Trenberth and Yamamoto et al.(1985).The potential predictability is approximatedby the ratio of the estimated interannual variation to the natural variation.Generally.the climaticnoise of monthly precipitation over China has obvious seasonal variation and it is greater in summerthan in winter,a bit greater in autumn than in spring.In most areas,the climatic noise isprominently decreasing from south to north and from coast to inland.The potential predictabilityof monthly precipitation also has obvious seasonal and regional difference,but the potentialpredictability is greater in winter than in summer in most parts of China.Whereas the comparisonof spring and autumn is not obvious.Comparing with the method of Madden,the estimated valuesof climatic noise based on the improved methods of Trenberth and Yamamoto et al.are relativelylower.

FURTHER STUDY ON THE PROPERTIES OF OPERATORS OF ATMOSPHERIC EQUATIONS AND THE EXISTENCE OF ATTRACTOR

The equivalent operator equation is derived from the full primitive nonlinear equations of theatmospheric motion and the properties and physical senses of the operators are studied.In theinfinite dimensional Hilbert space,the global asymptotic behavior of the atmosphere system withthe non-stationary external forcing is studied under the assumption of the bounded externalforcing.The existence theorems of the global absorbing set and the global attractor are obtained.Thus,the conclusions deduced from the large-scale atmosphere(Li and Chou 1996 a;1996 b)areextended to the general atmosphere.

研究了用前期2——4个月500hPa高度场预报后期我国160个测站月降水量所提供的可预报性时空分布特征,结果表明：从空间分布上看,可预报性存在着西北高东南低的空间分布特点。从时间变化上看,4、5、6月降水的可预报性没有8、9、11、12、1月降水的可预报性好。同时,探讨了影响这种时空分布变化的可能原因,指出将500hPa高度场作为对我国降水进行月长期预报的唯一因子,会受到时间和空间上的种种限制,为了提高预报效果,还需要考虑海洋等其它预报因子。

THE EFFECTS OF EXTERNAL FORCING,DISSIPATION AND NONLINEARITY ON THE SOLUTIONS OF ATMOSPHERIC EQUATIONS

Based on the primitive equations of the atmosphere,we study the effects of external forcing.dissipation and nonlinearity on the solutions of stationary motion and non-stationary motion.Theresults show that the asymptotic behavior of solutions of the forced dissipative nonlinear system isessentially different from that of the adiabatic non-dissipative system,the adiabatic dissipativesystem,the diabatic non-dissipative system and the diabatic dissipative linear system,and that thejoint action of external forcing,dissipation and nonlinearity is the source of multiple equilibria.From this we can conclude that the important actions of diabatic heating and dissipation must beconsidered in the models of the long-term weather and the climate.     

WINTER QINGHAI-XIZANG T_(BB) FEATURES IN RELATION TO ATMOSPHERIC CIRCULATION PATTERN AND ASIAN-AUSTRALIAN MONSOONS

Predominantly in the context of Japan GMS-derived T_(BB) data,study is undertaken of therelationship between the winter thermal conditions of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau(QXP)andanomaly in Asian-Australian monsoons during northern summer.Evidence suggests that anti-correlation of cold air activity of East Asia with that of Mid Asia is responsible for the counterpartof the ground thermal characteristics anomaly on an interannual basis between the SW and NEQXP;the winter thermal pattern bears a closer correlativity with the subsequent summertimeAsian-Australian monsoons anomaly;as the thermal distribution is reversed,so are the convectionfeatures over North and South China,maritime continent,the NW and SW Pacific at tropical andequatorial latitudes,resulting in vast difference between East-Asian summer and Indonesian-NorthAustralian winter monsoons;the subtropical monsoon-associated rainbelt over the mid-lowerChangjiang basins exhibits the discrepancy in vigor and northerly shift timing.Besides,part of theresults has been further borne out through analysis of temperature and precipitation records of theeastern portion of the country in monsoon climate.

对流对称不稳定的发展演变和环流特征

利用1999年6月一次典型梅雨锋暴雨过程和敏感性试验的数值模拟结果分析了对流对称不稳定的发展演变和环流特征.结果表明：条件对称不稳定是大气稳定状态和条件不稳定状态之间的中间纽带,大气由稳定向不稳定或者由不稳定向稳定的演变均通过条件对称不稳定来实现;对流对称不稳定环流的形成与不稳定层的配置有关,当低层为条件不稳定而高层叠加深厚的条件对称不稳定时,对流对称不稳定环流低层出现垂直上升气流,高层出现范围较广的倾斜上升气流,对称不稳定能量释放产生中尺度云带.当低层和高层出现条件不稳定,中间呈条件对称不稳定或弱稳定度层结时,从低层到高层出现较深厚的垂直上升气流,湿重力不稳定能量的释放导致了云带的形成.

STRUCTURAL FEATURES OF THE MEIYU FRONT SYSTEM

A new subtropical front near the periphery of the West Pacific subtropical anticyclone isfound,which is never revealed in previous studies.The coupling of the subtropical front andMeiyu front forms a Meiyu front system (MFS) and is the most direct synoptic system for theMeiyu precipitation along the Mid-lower Reaches of Yangtze River (MRYR) in China.In thispaper.The detailed structural features and cloud features of the MFS in 1998 and 1999 areanalyzed,which manifests that the MFS is an objective phenomenon over the period of Meiyu alongMRYR and the Southwest Japan.Generally.the subtropical front is mainly located between 850hPa and 500 hPa.The moist southwest monsoon is transported in the passageway between theMeiyu front and the subtropical front.The vertical motion ascends in the passageway and descendson both sides of the MFS.forming the MFS's secondary circulation.A lower TBB band indicatedthat obvious convective activities are also located in the passageway of MFS.The horizontal windof MFS is vertically asymmetric.     

CLIMATIC FEATURES OF SEA TEMPERATURE OF WARM POOL AND RELATIONSHIP WITH SST OF ITS ADJACENT REGIONS

In this paper,climatic features of sea temperature of western Pacific warm pool and therelationship with sea surface temperature (SST) of its adjacent regions are analyzed based on theobserved sea temperature on vertical cross section along 137°E in western Pacific,the monthlymean SST of Xisha Station in South China Sea and the global monthly mean SST with resolution of1°×1°(U.K./GISST2.2).The results indicate that (1) in a sense of correlation.SST of westernPacific warm pool can represent its sea subsurface temperature from surface to 200 m-depth level inwinter,and it can only represent sea temperature from surface to 70 m depth in summer.The seasubsurface temperature anomaly of warm pool may be more suitable for representing thermalregime of western Pacific warm pool.The sea subsurface temperature of warm pool has acharacteristic of quasi-biennial oscillation.(2)Warm pool and Kuroshio current are subject todifferent ocean current systems (3)Furthermore,the relationship between SST of Xisha Stationand SST of warm pool has a characteristic of negative correlation in winter and positive correlationin summer,and a better lag negative correlation of SST of Xisha Station with sea subsurfacetemperature of warm pool exists.(4)Additionally,oscillation structure of sea temperature like “aseesaw” exists in between warm pool and Regions Nino3 and Nino4.January (June) maximum(minimum) sea subsurface temperature anomaly of warm pool may serve as a strong signal thatindicates maturity phase (development phase) of La Nina (El Nino) event,it also acts as a strongsignal which reveals variations of SST of Regions Nino3 and Nino4.
