西南低涡对流云团及其降水的一些特征

基于FY-2C静止卫星红外和水汽通道资料,简单分析了发生在四川盆地的西南低涡暴雨云团生消过程,给出了一些有意义的云团生命特征。同时,结合相应的地面自动站降水资料,详细分析了卫星红外和水汽通道云顶亮温与对流云团降水之间的关系特征,结果表明:对于一完整对流降水过程,1小时内最低水汽亮温和水汽亮温增量能很好地描述地面1小时累计降水特征。然而,用静止卫星红外或水汽通道亮温来表征的云团降水特征是非常复杂的。尽管具有相同的最低云顶红外或水汽亮温,但对不同的对流过程其总体降水量级趋势不一样。而且,对于同一对流过程的不同发展阶段,即使出现云顶红外或水汽亮温一样,但其地面降水特征也是不一致的。甚至是对于同一时刻具有相同最低红外或最低水汽亮温特征的云,其降水落区与量级都不尽相同。正是这些复杂的降水特征,使得西南低涡对流云团的降水估算具有很大的难度。      

青海高原短时强降水天气的葵花-8卫星监测预警特征对比分析

为获得青海高原（以下简称高原）对流云团的强降水监测预警特征和预警方法,使用葵花-8卫星数据跟踪识别高原典型强降水天气过程的对流云团,计算并分析具有提前预警意义的云团特征参数。结果表明：（1）本文提出的对流云团识别的改进多通道法,经与传统多通道法对比检验,证明所得云团更接近对流主体,该方法适用于高原对流云团识别。（2）对流形成到成熟阶段,特征参数起伏变化,但红外与水汽通道亮温差（DTB13）和云顶亮温（Tmin）整体下降,云顶亮温梯度（GTmax）整体上升;在对流发展阶段仅红外1和2通道亮温差（DTB12）平均可达预警极值,在成熟阶段则是Tmin、DTB13、GTmax、深对流指数（DCI）等平均可达预警极值。高原上强降水天气的对流云多发展成深对流,降水发生在云团特征参数极值附近,短时强降水发生在深对流云区内特定云顶（上冲云顶或近似上冲云顶）所在特征参数极值区内或边缘附近。（3）特征参数极值对一般降水和强降水的开始时间分别提前0～1 h和0.5～4.5 h出现,在西风型流场下对强降水开始的提前时间相对较长。降水开始前,副高型流场下对流云团向深对流发展变化最剧烈,表现为DCI和GTmax平...

选取发生在辽宁的3次典型长历时暴雨过程,利用NCEP/NCAR 1°×1°再分析、FY-2E黑体亮温TBB、多普勒天气雷达和自动气象站等资料,分析了降水实况、天气形势背景、卫星红外云图、雷达回波的结构和强度变化的代表性特征。结果表明:辽宁长历时暴雨是在有利于产生暴雨的大尺度环流背景下,异常稳定的形势场导致冷暖空气在某一地区长时间相互对峙而形成的。该型暴雨的降水实况具有雨强变化小、强降水无明显阶段性特征和雨强变化大、强降水具有明显阶段性两种特征。一般性对流云团、暖云和深对流云团均可造成该型暴雨,其中一般性对流云团的云顶亮温变化幅度小,在-47～-36℃,暖云的云顶亮温在-8～3℃,深对流云团的云顶亮温-68～-50℃且强降水发生在云顶亮温低值中心偏向温度梯度大值区一侧。该型暴雨的雷达反射率因子强回波质心较低,表现为上游回波同一方向连续移入形成的"列车效应"、本地生成回波并不断加强以及不同方向的强回波先后移入影响三种类型,小时平均回波强度及其变化对降水强度和趋势有较好的指示意义。需要特别关注副热带高压西侧低层高能高湿、凝结高度低、整层近乎饱和且又具有局地地形抬升触发条件地区的暖云强降水的分析和监测。     

基于H8卫星的昆明大暴雨过程对流云特征及触发机制分析

利用葵花8号（H8）卫星、NCEP FNL再分析、地面加密观测及探空资料,针对2019年7月20日发生在昆明的一次大暴雨天气,分析该过程中对流云初生、发展的演变特征及其触发的物理机制。结果表明：(1) 500 hPa低涡切变是此次过程产生的主要影响系统,对流云团的快速发展以及云团的合并使得降雨增强和持续。(2)降雨发生初期,云顶高度较低;随着对流云发展,红外亮温降温率达−30 ℃·(30 min)⁻¹,降雨迅速增强;当云顶高度接近水汽层顶即水汽与红外亮温差小于2 ℃时,降雨进一步增强;红外亮温快速降低,以及水汽与红外亮温差可作为预判对流云产生短时强降水的参考标准。(3) 对流有效位能呈细长条型,并有一定的对流抑制能,在地面辐合的作用下,容易触发对流;当冷空气侵入时,在地形抬升作用配合下,对流发展为深对流;整层比湿积分高达3554 \mathrmg\cdot \mathrmk\mathrmg^-1并配合南北两侧水汽输入,为此次强降雨的发生提供了十分有利的水汽条件。     

基于葵花8号卫星资料的沈阳两次暴雨过程中对流云特征对比分析

应用葵花8号卫星资料,结合NCEP FNL再分析、GNSS遥感水汽、风廓线雷达、全国智能网格实况融合分析资料,对2017年7月14日和2018年8月7日沈阳两次暴雨过程(分别简称过程Ⅰ和过程Ⅱ)中对流云特征进行了比较分析,重点探讨了对流云的触发维持机制与影响降水特征差异的因素。结果表明:(1)两次过程分别为局地突发暴雨和区域性极端暴雨,沈阳市区暴雨均由两个对流云团引发,对流云团合并使得降水持续。过程Ⅱ云团合并发生在其移动方向的后侧,具有后向传播特征,合并云团沿其长轴方向移动影响沈阳市,使降水时间延长。(2)在降水前至降水初期,过程Ⅰ对流云顶和水汽层顶快速上升且云顶迅速超过水汽层顶,而过程Ⅱ亮温下降缓慢。短时强降水发生前红外和水汽亮温同步快速降至-60℃,可作为提前预判对流云团产生短时强降水的参考指标。10 min雨量大于10 mm的对流云云顶集中分布在红外亮温低于-55℃、亮温差为-5~0℃的范围。(3)两次过程中,沈阳市分别位于东北冷涡后部和副热带高压北缘。过程Ⅰ,探空曲线呈“X”型,CAPE高达2584 J·kg^-1,造成对流云深厚,云底以下干层导致雨滴蒸发,使降水强度减弱,该过程高强度降水仅发生在对流云团合并加强阶段。过程Ⅱ,云底到地面湿层明显,保证了雨滴降至地面,产生相同量级降水的云团的TBB比过程Ⅰ高。(4)强降水发生前,地面风场存在明显辐合,当大气可降水量2 h内跃增8 mm时,站点出现强降水;局地水汽跃增可能是低空西南气流偏南分量增大或偏北冷空气侵入到暖湿空气中所致。

基于红外窗区与水汽通道对流云团识别方法研究

卫星观测与辐射传输分析证明,对流云团红外水汽与窗区亮温差(brightness temperature difference,BTD)具有显著特征,利用对流云团BTD红外亮温特征可以识别对流云团。基于对流云团BTD特征建立的全球对流识别系统(global convection diagnostic,GCD)算法通过设立一个BTD单阈值检测对流云团的有无,但是它不能进一步量化对流云团强度。本文利用FY-2GVISSR红外观测数据与CINRAD CAR(CAPPI of reflectivity)雷达观测数据进行对比研究,结果表明:BTD/CAR具有较好线性正相关关系;BTD不仅可以用于识别对流云团的存在,还可以进一步量化对流云团强度;BTD作为对流云团识别因子优于IRW(infrared window)亮温法。基于BTD/CAR相关关系可以实现基于静止卫星红外水汽和窗区观测的对流云团识别与定强。     

青藏高原东部初生雷暴云图特征及成因

利用2010—2014年青藏高原东部夏季雷暴资料和同时段的FY-2D、E双卫星资料,分析了初生雷暴的卫星云图特征,并讨论了午后雷暴的成因。结果表明:高原东部初生雷暴云团卫星云图特征明显,其发展高度相对较低,云顶位于对流层顶之下,并与海拔高度密切相关。其红外云顶亮温和水汽亮温总体均呈单峰型分布,基本介于-55^-10℃和-50^-30℃之间;红外-分裂窗通道亮温差值大多发生在-3.3℃附近,83%的红外-水汽通道亮温差值大于0。进一步分析发现,Ⅰ区、Ⅱ区雷暴初期的地气温差主要集中在5~15℃,地表温度分别集中在25℃和30℃附近,相对湿度分别集中在40%~55%和30%~50%之间,温度-露点差为7~15℃附近。Ⅲ区地气温差主要在5~10℃左右,地表温度集中在30~35℃附近。综合来看,高原东部雷暴初期地气温差、地表温度和相对湿度的集中度较好,近地层适中的地表温度、地气温差和一定的湿度条件,才会非常有利于青藏高原东部午后雷暴的发生发展。     

应用AMSU-B微波资料识别强对流云区的研究

微波遥感可以穿透云顶直接探测对流云内的冰态粒子分布,受冰晶粒子的强烈散射衰减作用,AMSU-B的3个微波水汽吸收波段亮温随冰粒子的增加而降低.由于探测权重高度不同,辐射传输过程中受冰粒子的散射影响也不尽相同,3个水汽通道之间存在亮温差异,这种差异与对流云的强弱密切相关.利用微波向量辐射传输模式(VDISORT)模拟了云雨粒子对微波水汽通道观测的影响,并利用2005年8月12日华北地区的对流天气过程,分析了AMSU-B通道亮温与对流强弱变化之间的对应关系.在此基础上,建立了一种利用NOAA卫星AMSU-B水汽通道亮温差定量判识深对流云和冲顶对流云的方法.利用该方法对典型对流降水云团进行判识,结果显示,微波识别的对流云区可以较好地表征强降水的分布,其中的冲顶对流区与可见光云系的上冲云顶结构有着很好的对应.     

西藏地区雷暴的卫星云图特征研究

利用2006～2008年FY2-C卫星资料和西藏自治区雷暴记录资料,采用通道差异及云指数法对西藏地区雷暴在卫星云图上的特征进行了分析研究。结果表明,雷暴开始时刻,拉萨、日喀则、当雄卫星通道差异和云指数特征明显,红外-分裂窗亮温差值为-5～5℃、红外-水汽亮温差值为-10～10℃和FYCDI云指数为-0.11～0.28K,能较好指示西藏雷暴的开始。从初始时刻至成熟强盛阶段,雷暴的红外和水汽亮温均表现出强烈的降温,其中,雷暴开始时红外和水汽亮温下降约15℃左右,并于1～2小时后达-70℃左右的最低值,达雷暴强盛阶段;成熟阶段雷暴的红外-水汽亮温差值为0～-5℃,FYC_TS值为0左右。      

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.
