中纬度平均经圈和纬圈环流维持的物理过程(二)

大尺度扰动的感热和动量输送是紧密联系的.在准地转运动中,大尺度涡动输送可分解为平衡输送和不平衡输送.在北半球冬季纬向风系和副热带高压带维持的过程中,中纬度不平衡涡动输送,以及与之相联系的平均经圈环流所造成的垂直输送,起着十分重要的作用.这时水平输送和垂直输送本身就处在内在联系之中.并且这种输送过程是和温度槽落后于流场槽的斜压扰动相联系的. 当把大气运动分解成垂直平均的正压动能和垂直切变的斜压动能时,可以更细致地了解中纬度大气环流能量转化的规律.我们进一步讨论和计算了中纬度北半球冬季能量转换的过程.     

热带大尺度大气运动的多时态特征

本文采用多时间尺度方法分析热带大气的大尺度运动,得到了三个阶段的运动性质。结果表明,热带大尺度大气运动与中纬度大尺度大气运动一样,具有双适应现象,即第一阶段由于重力波频散,产生了地转适应;第二阶段由于长波频散,产生了位涡适应。 同时指出,运动的三个阶段的演变过程,可以统一为位势涡度适应过程,这是一种非线性过程,而地转适应是位涡适应的初级阶段。      

初生阶段西南涡发展与消亡的物理机制

采用涡旋运动稳定性方法,结合大尺度环境场和积云对流潜热释放,研究初生西南涡发展与消亡的物理机制。结果表明：（1）在稳定层结和不稳定层结条件下,当大气扰动频率超过对应的临界频率时,初生西南涡均可以维持并向成熟涡转变;当大气扰动频率未超过临界频率时,初生西南涡要么因频散而消亡,要么在维持一段时间的纯涡结构后消亡,不能发展为成熟西南涡。（2）初生阶段,大尺度场的辐合辐散是西南涡发展和消亡的主要因素,辐合才有可能使得初生西南涡发展,辐散只能导致初生西南涡消亡;小尺度的潜热加热则决定着稳定层结下的扰动临界频率,进而影响稳定层结下初生西南涡的发展及向成熟西南涡的转变。     

中国南海夏季风强、弱年多尺度相互作用能量学特征

中国南海夏季风为东亚季风的主要系统之一,其具有多重尺度特征,除季节平均环流场外,低频（季节内振荡）和高频（天气尺度）扰动也十分活跃,各尺度系统存在明显的年际变化。该研究使用ERA-Interim和NCEP/NCAR两套再分析资料,从季风平均动能（MKE）诊断的角度出发,探讨了1979-2010年中国南海夏季风环流年际变化的能量来源及其和扰动场的相互作用过程。结果表明:中国南海夏季风对流活跃年份,中国南海南部（12°N以南）及中南半岛一带为季风平均动能显著增强区,此与南亚季风区西风急流的增强并向东延伸有关;中国南海北部（12°N以北）及西太平洋为气旋性环流盘踞,季风槽加深。中国南海南部季风平均动能增强的能量源自于扰动动量通量与平均环流的相互作用,强季风年,平均环流失去较少的动能给扰动场（亦即平均环流保留较多的动能）。通过进一步探讨高频（<10 d）及低频（10-90 d）扰动场与平均环流不同分量的（散度、涡度、风垂直切变）相互作用过程,发现季风平均动能的增长主要来自于<10 d扰动与季风平均散度和涡度的相互作用。中国南海北部季风槽区季风平均动能的维持来自于大气热源和平均上升运动的相互作用,但同时有较多的季风平均动能向扰动动能转换,有利于扰动的成长。因此,强季风年,中国南海北部热带气旋生成数目增多,夏季北传的季节内振荡也增强,导致中国南部沿海及华南地区出现较多的灾害天气。      

低纬热带大气中的Rossby波

从热带大气波动的频率方程出发，详细分析了过去给出的低频Ｒｏｓｓｂｙ波的近似频率公式ω＝－βκ／［（２ｎ＋１）β／ｃ０＋κ＾２］，发现其对热带Ｒｏｓｓｂｙ波的性质有一定程度的歪曲。针对这一问题，经分析得到一个能更精确地表征热带Ｒｏｓｓｂｙ波性质的近似频散公式ω＝－βκ／［（２ｎ＋１）β／ｃ０＋４ｎ（ｎ＋１）／（２ｎ＋１）＾２ｋ＾２］，还简要地比较了热带线性Ｒｏｓｓｂｙ波和孤立Ｒｏｓｓｂｙ波两者的频散     

大气运动的动能在湍流边界层中的耗散

在大气能量学中,大气平均运动的动能通过湍流摩擦力转化为脉动运动的能量并最终转化为内能的“变性能量”是大气动能的“汇”,正确估计其大小对研究动能的收支,以至天气系统的生衰,发展均有一定意义。此项由于与湍流通量有关,因而难于从大尺度气象参数计算。以往的研究中,或是将动能平衡方程中其余各项算出,而将此项作为余项估计出,或用地转风由粗浅的边界层模式算出。     

TCM-90现场试验台风能量频散波列特征

采用ＴＣＭ－９０（台风运动－９０）台风现场科学试验资料,对台风ＦＬＯ,ＥＤ个例进行了诊断分析,并做了有关数值试验研究。分析研究结论揭示了台风涡旋作为一动力、热力强迫源或ＣＩＳＫ不稳定结构,其与环境场相互作用可激发出动能频散波列;台风扰源通过频散机制可构成类似２维Ｒｏｓｓｂｙ波的经向波列;台风涡旋的移动路径与上述能量传播特征有一定的相关关系。     

两次夏季江淮气旋的动能平衡过程及其与大尺度环流的关系

本文用准拉格朗日方法计算了两例夏季江淮气旋各个阶段的动能收支及旋转风、辐散风对动能制造项的贡献，并讨论了它们与大尺度环流的关系。主要结论有:（1）气旋区域动能平衡的特点随大尺度环流改变；（2）动能的水平输送取决于气旋和高空急流中心的相对位置；（3）稳定少动的高空急流入（出）口区有较强的旋转风动能制造（消耗），与水平输送项反号，移动快的急流附近，此项数值较小；（4）发展的气旋波，高层和低层有较强的辐散风动能制造；（5）夏季江淮气旋波转化为温带气旋时，高层表现为动能输入，高空急流转为气旋式弯曲。     

2008年1月中国南方低温雨雪冰冻天气的大尺度能量输送

利用NCEP-DOE再分析数据分析了2008年1月26～28日中国南方罕见的低温雨雪冰冻天气的扰动能量的生成以及各种能量之间的转换。在急流中平均动能（Km）先转换成相互作用动能（Ki）然后再转化成扰动动能（Ke）。相互作用动能流是顺急流方向的。位势高度平流和有效位能与扰动动能的转化生成的扰动动能比平均动能转化的要小一个量级。中国中南部扰动有效位能（Ae）的产生主要由平均有效位能（Am）间接提供,其中相互作用有效位能（Ai）流起到了关键作用。生成的扰动有效位能在26日12：00（协调世界时）主要来源于两个地区：一个位于青藏高原,另一个位于中国东北部。随着两个主要源地的向东移动,转化也向东移动。相互作用有效位能流的方向同时存在逆急流方向和顺急流方向。     

热带大气环流平均状况的研究

应用NMCl7年热带u、v风及OLR资料研究了热带地区大气环流的平均结构和特征。指出热带大尺度环流基本上是由东西向的walker环流和南北向的Hadley环流所组成的。这些环流是由热力作用直接驱动的,它具有高低层风向相反的特征。扰动风场与平均风场有密切关系。西风基本气流对应着扰动动能的极大值而东风则对应着扰动动能的极小值。热带地区存在着明显的辐散辐合作用,它也是由热力作用引起的并与热带对流活动有密切联系。      

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.     

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.     

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.
