C-FMCW雷达对江淮降水云零度层亮带探测研究

不同于体扫雷达探测降水系统,垂直指向雷达可探测降水云中粒子垂直演变的微物理过程。C波段调频连续波垂直指向雷达 (C-FMCW) 采用收发分置天线,数据垂直分辨率达15~30 m,时间分辨率达2~3 s,利用其2013年6—8月在安徽定远探测数据对降水云垂直结构特征及亮带中融化微物理过程进行研究。6次降水过程共计46 h中的39.1%数据具有清晰的亮带结构特征,期间降水占地面总降水量的15%;江淮雨季层状云、对流云和混合性降水系统中均出现零度层亮带,层状云中亮带长时间维持,对流降水系统移出后减弱阶段的亮带结构稳定,混合降水系统中的对流扰动加强冲破了亮带结构。以融化层中最大回波强度Z_p所在高度进行融化层的粒子碰并增长和破碎减弱分层分析,上半层融化过程主要表现为碰并增长,下半层则是粒子破碎减弱。剔除了介电常数、下降速度引起的粒子浓度改变影响后,层状云和对流降水后期的回波强度加强表明融化增长程度接近,后者略强,混合降水云的融化增长最强。     

层状云结构和降水机制研究及人工增雨问题讨论

总结了层状云及其降水物理研究的部分成果。在此基础上, 讨论了层状云人工增雨的几个问题, 提出用常规观测资料判断人工增雨条件的方法。具体结果如下:层状云结构是不均匀的。层状云系在垂直方向上具有分层结构。“催化—供给”云是降水性层状云的典型结构, “催化—供给”云相互作用是导致降水的主要过程。按微观结构可以将降水性层状云分成3 层:冰相层、冰水混合层和液水层。冰相层是催化云, 冰水混合层和液水层是供给云。层状云降水过程研究表明, 对应于层状云或“催化—供给”云的3层宏观结构, 发生着不同的微物理过程, 粒子形成和增长过程也不同。冰相层的冰晶和雪, 凝华是其主要增长方式, 其次是雪与冰晶的聚合过程;雪(或聚合体)落入冰水混合层后, 继续通过凝华增长或贝吉龙过程增长, 同时撞冻过冷云水增长, 有部分冰雪晶通过撞冻增长而转化成霰。在液水层, 雪(或聚合体)霰开始融化, 同时收集云暖区云水增长。冰相粒子的撞冻增长过程和凝华增长过程相比同样重要。层状云各层对降水的贡献不同。一般而言, 对于“催化—供给”云, 催化云对降水的贡献低于30%, 供给云在70%以上。在以上研究的基础上, 讨论了层状云人工增雨的问题。(1)“催化—供给”云结构有利于云水转化成降水, 只有冰相层、冰水混合成和液水层相互“配合”, 才能形成有效降水。可以将“催化—供给”云作为层状云人工增雨催化的结构条件。(2)要选择降水形成以冷云过程为主的层状云催化, 冰面饱和水汽量和过冷水含量要大些。(3)层状云人工增雨原理应该补充。降水形成不但经历贝吉龙-芬德森过程, 冰水混合层的聚合和撞冻增长也是十分重要的过程。过冷水对于降水的形成非常重要, 但冰面饱和水汽量对降水的形成也同样重要。最后, 结合层状云的研究成果, 提出用常规探测资料判别层状云人工增雨催化条件的方法:利用卫星云图和雷达回波判别“催化—供给”云的结构, 用雷达RHI 回波(在距离高度显示器上的回波)判别降水机制和液水层。       

混合层的建立对一次强阵风天气过程的影响

利用NCEP再分析资料和常规地面观测资料,分析混合层的建立对2012年3月23日天津地区强阵风天气过程的影响机理。结果表明：强气压梯度和强变压梯度的共同动力作用是地面强阵风形成的背景条件。强阵风出现在午后气温较高、湿度较低且地面气压较低的时段。午后深厚混合层内的干热对流使高空急流北侧下沉气流将动量下传至对流层中层后向近地面层进一步有效下传,导致地面阵风增大。深厚混合层的建立也是地面强阵风形成的一个重要原因。WRF模拟结果表明,局地混合层强度差异使高空动量下传产生局地差异,这可能是天津各地区阵风强度存在空间差异的重要原因。     

青藏高原东部及下游地区冬季边界层的观测分析

利用2007年12月的加密探空资料, 对高原东部及其下游地区的边界层结构和高原东部边界层变化对下游大气的影响进行了分析。结果表明, 冬季青藏高原东部夜间近地面逆温层可以发展到平均500 m的高度, 白天混合层可以发展到平均2000 m的高度。白天混合层内水汽和风速混合十分均匀, 在混合层发展成熟时存在十分深厚的逆湿层。冬季青藏高原下游的四川盆地, 边界层内温度日较差小, 夜间逆温层把大量地表水汽截留在近地层, 日出前近地层水汽容易达到饱和。白天, 混合层在中午发展成熟, 平均高度只有300 m。四川盆地对流层下部存在非常强的逆温层, 该逆温层是青藏高原抬升地表加热和冬季盛行西风气流形成的, 逆温层变化是青藏高原东部边界层温度日变化和局地西风变化的共同结果。逆温层显著改变大气动量、 热量和水汽的垂直分布。与对流层下部逆温相联系的中层云对辐射的影响是造成四川盆地温度日较差和混合层高度变化的原因。     

西北干旱区夏半年深厚的混合层与干旱气候形成

为了更好地理解西北干旱区大气混合层(ML)厚度的变化特征及其对当地干旱气候形成的影响,我们利用张掖和民勤站夏季及相关月的实测探空资料及T-log P图解法,首先计算了该两地逐日ML厚度,然后分析并讨论了它的时空间变化特征、与干湿天气气候的关系,以及夏半年的深厚ML,对加剧当地干旱气候的影响.结果表明:(1)河西中东部ML厚度的年变化及地区差异明显.冬季最浅薄,夏半年深厚(特别是5、6月),4月及10月分别是ML急剧增厚及变薄的过渡期;同时,更靠近西北干旱区中心的河西西部及北部的ML更深厚.(2)夏季干(湿)天气通过加强(减弱)地气间的感热交换和干对流,而明显影响当地的ML厚度.平均而言,以高温日最深厚,千日次之,小雨日再次之,而中强雨日最浅薄.千年夏季的ML厚度平均比湿年的对应值增厚300 m左右.夏季典型千日的ML厚度比雨日厚3000 m,典型干日的ML厚度昼宿变化不大.(3)反过来夏半年深厚的ML也通过增加雨滴蒸发损耗,减少了干旱区的降水,加剧了当地干旱的程度,因此夏半年深厚的ML也是形成干旱气候背景的成因之一.     

新探测仪器资料在短时强降水过程中的应用

结合新一代多普勒天气雷达观测,利用德国RPG-HATPRO-G3型14通道并行地基微波辐射计观测的温度和液态水路径数据、THIES公司THIES CLIMA LNM型地面激光雨滴谱仪获取的地面雨强资料,综合分析了2015年8月3日济南短时强降水天气过程逆温层分布特征、液态水路径变化、雨滴谱特征分布及拟合分析。结果表明,由于受强对流降水过程中的潜热增温作用,大气中存在逆温层,且较强;液态水含量存在较强的短时积聚现象,降水前液态水含量路径起伏较大,跃增非常明显,伴随降水强度的减弱,液态水路径起伏减小;整个降水过程中,前期雨滴谱呈现双峰分布,强降水和后期降水为单峰谱,雨滴谱特征符合Gamma分布。

一次降水性积层混合云系的微物理特征分析

利用山东省2007年10月27日1架次机载粒子测量系统（Particles Measuring System,PMS）积层混合云探测资料,分析了云中粒子浓度和尺度、液态含水量,以及小云滴和大云滴谱的垂直分布特征,比较了催化前后云微物理特征的变化。结果表明,催化前,云层中小云滴谱型为单峰,谱宽随高度增加先变窄后变宽,大云滴谱型在云低层为单峰,中高层为双峰谱,谱宽随高度增加先变宽后变窄,并且没有探测到降水粒子。催化后,小云滴尺度在低层减小、高层增加,整层液态水含量减小;大云滴浓度增加,尺度增大,出现降水粒子,固态粒子类型增多。在3 700~4 000 m高度层内小于10μm粒子明显增加,说明凝结过程比较明显,并且10~27.5μm粒子开始出现,启动了云滴的碰并机制。小云滴谱变化较小,基本为单峰谱,但在较大云滴处谱型略有起伏,在3 000m和3 300m高度的谱宽增宽。大云滴粒子谱有较大的变化,低层变成双峰谱,谱宽最宽可达650μm,中高层为双峰或多峰,峰值从小值向较大值移动。2D-P探头在催化云高层探测到降水粒子,谱型呈单调下降形态,谱宽最大为600μm。     

气象因素对汕头市大气O3污染的影响

利用2014年到2016年汕头市O_3的逐日浓度资料,分析了O_3污染的时间变化特征,并结合汕头市国家基准气象观测站的同期地面气象资料,分析了风、混合层厚度、降水、大气环流等气象因素对O_3污染的影响,同时探讨了影响污染物浓度变化的原因。结果表明:不同于北方多数城市夏季O_3污染严重,汕头市的O_3污染秋季(9—11月)最严重,初夏(6月)污染较小,这与汕头的地理位置和气候条件有关。O_3浓度呈单峰型日变化,午后15:00左右浓度最高,夜间浓度较低。风速对O_3既有扩散作用,又有混合作用,当日均风速为1.7 m/s时O_3的平均浓度最大;O_3日均浓度与14时混合层厚度呈显著正相关,午后混合层厚度对O_3日内峰值有很大影响;O_3平均浓度在相对湿度60%时达到最大,高相对湿度不利于O_3体积分数的积累;降水对O_3的去除效果随着降水量级的增大而增大,汛期降水的去除效果与总体去除效果基本一致,而非汛期强降水(中雨以上)去除效果更加显著;出现轻雾时O_3浓度接近平均,出现霾时O_3浓度较高,出现大雾时不利于O_3的生成;当汕头市地面为冷高压脊、850 hPa为东北风场、500 hPa为副热带高压控制时,有利于光化学反应,易造成O_3污染。     

青藏高原雷暴云降水与地面电场的观测和数值模拟

在2003年青藏高原那曲地区夏季雷暴云的观测试验中,三次伴有降水的过程中都出现了地面电场(Egnd)随降水的漂移现象,而且固态和液态降水对Egnd的极性改变并不相同。为了模拟再现高原雷暴云降水和Egnd之间的关系,选取了8月13日这次具有高原雷暴代表性特征的过程,模拟了雷暴云移经观测点上空期间,测站固、液态降水与Egnd的变化以及雷暴云下部正电荷区的空间分布。模拟的Egnd及固、液态降水与其的对应关系与观测事实较一致。分析结果表明,固态降水主要携带正电荷,液态降水主要携带负电荷,各类带不同极性和数量电荷的降水粒子常共存在雷暴云中,Egnd主要受携带电荷量占主导地位的降水粒子的影响,地面出现强正电场时正好是云在当顶并且地面出现强固态降水的时间。     

Distinguished Effects of Interannual Salinity Variability on the Development of the Central-Pacific El Nino Events

El Nio events in the central equatorial Pacific (CP) are gaining increased attention,due to their increasing intensity within the global warming context.Various physical processes have been identified in the climate system that can be responsible for the modulation of El Nio,especially the effects of interannual salinity variability.In this work,a comprehensive data analysis is performed to illustrate the effects of interannual salinity variability using surface and subsurface salinity fields from the Met Office ENSEMBLES (EN3) quality controlled ocean dataset.It is demonstrated that during the developing phase of an El Nio event,a negative sea surface salinity (SSS) anomaly in the western-central basin acts to freshen the mixed layer (ML),decrease oceanic density in the upper ocean,and stabilize the upper layers.These related oceanic processes tend to reduce the vertical mixing and entrainment of subsurface water at the base of the ML,which further enhances the warm sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies associated with the El Nio event.However,the effects of interannually variable salinity are much more significant during the CP-El Nio than during the eastern Pacific (EP) El Nio,indicating that the salinity effect might be an important contributor to the development of CP-El Nio events.     

用一种动力－统计方法提高中国夏季降水的季节预报

A dynamical-statistical post-processing approach is applied to seasonal precipitation forecasts in China during the summer. The data are ensemble-mean seasonal forecasts in summer (June-August) from four atmospheric general circulation models (GCMs) in the second phase of the Canadian Historical Forecasting Project (HFP2) from 1969 to 2001. This dynamical-statistical approach is designed based on the relationship between the 500 geopotential height (Z500) forecast and the observed sea surface temperature (SST) to calibrate the precipitation forecasts. The results show that the post-processing can improve summer precipitation forecasts for many areas in China. Further examination shows that this post-processing approach is very effective in reducing the model-dependent part of the errors, which are associated with GCMs. The possible mechanisms behind the forecast's improvements are investigated.     

Role of horizontal density advection in seasonal deepening of the mixed layer in the subtropical Southeast Pacific

The mechanisms behind the seasonal deepening of the mixed layer(ML) in the subtropical Southeast Pacific were investigated using the monthly Argo data from 2004 to 2012. The region with a deep ML(more than 175 m) was found in the region of(22?–30?S, 105?–90?W), reaching its maximum depth(～200 m) near(27?–28?S, 100?W) in September. The relative importance of horizontal density advection in determining the maximum ML location is discussed qualitatively. Downward Ekman pumping is key to determining the eastern boundary of the deep ML region. In addition, zonal density advection by the subtropical countercurrent(STCC) in the subtropical Southwest Pacific determines its western boundary, by carrying lighter water to strengthen the stratification and form a "shallow tongue" of ML depth to block the westward extension of the deep ML in the STCC region. The temperature advection by the STCC is the main source for large heat loss from the subtropical Southwest Pacific. Finally, the combined effect of net surface heat flux and meridional density advection by the subtropical gyre determines the northern and southern boundaries of the deep ML region: the ocean heat loss at the surface gradually increases from 22?S to 35?S, while the meridional density advection by the subtropical gyre strengthens the stratification south of the maximum ML depth and weakens the stratification to the north. The freshwater flux contribution to deepening the ML during austral winter is limited. The results are useful for understanding the role of ocean dynamics in the ML formation in the subtropical Southeast Pacific.     

星载雷达在订正地基天气雷达标定误差中的应用

在雷达反射率数据定量应用中,标定误差是导致结果产生偏差的重要原因之一。星载雷达（TRMM PR）长期工作的稳定性和连续性已被验证,本文将星载雷达数据转换到S波段,通过对比星载雷达和南京雷达同时段不同高度（相对于融化层的位置）不同降水类型（层云降水或对流降水）的数据,得到两部雷达对融化层以下层云降水的观测相关性高,差异稳定。通过对比分析星载雷达和南京雷达同时段零度层以下层状云降水的观测数据,得出两部雷达反射率因子值的回归关系式。以星载雷达观测数据为基准,使用该关系式对南京雷达反射率数据进行订正,并通过雨量计数据对订正结果进行验证,结果显示使用本文订正关系式订正后雷达估计的降雨量更接近雨量计的观测值。     

Sensitivity of tropical Atlantic climate to mixing in a coupled ocean–atmosphere model

The sensitivity of tropical Atlantic climate to upper ocean mixing is investigated using an ocean-only model and a coupled ocean–atmosphere model. The upper ocean thermal structure and associated atmospheric circulation prove to be strongly related to the strength of upper ocean mixing. Using the heat balance in the mixed layer it is shown that an excessively cold equatorial cold tongue can be attributed to entrainment flux at the base of the oceanic mixed layer, that is too large. Enhanced entrainment efficiency acts to deepen the mixed layer and causes strong reduction in the upper ocean divergence in the central equatorial Atlantic. As a result, the simulated sea surface temperature, thermocline structure, and upwelling velocities are close to the observed estimates. In the coupled model, the seasonal migration of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) reduces when the entrainment efficiency in the oceanic mixed layer is enhanced. The precipitation rates decrease in the equatorial region and increase along 10°N, resulting in a more realistic Atlantic Marine ITCZ. The reduced meridional surface temperature gradient in the eastern tropical Atlantic prohibits the development of convective precipitation in the southeastern part of the tropical Atlantic. Also, the simulation of tropical Atlantic variability as expressed in the meridional gradient mode and the eastern cold tongue mode improves when the entrainment efficiency is enhanced.     

宁夏三类降水云的时空分布及环流特征分析

利用宁夏24个测站1971—2000年常规地面观测中云状、总云量、低云量、天气现象、降水量等资料,对宁夏30年中层状云、对流云及混合云降水的时空变化特征进行了分析。同时,利用NCEP/NCAR(1971—2000年)全球再分析资料,对宁夏三类降水云的环流特征进行了诊断分析。结果表明:30年中层状云降水次数明显多于对流云和混合云降水次数,是宁夏降水的主要类型,而混合云降水是宁夏大雨以上降水的主要类型;宁夏南部地区以层状云降水为主,北部地区对流云和混合云降水次数相对较多;三类降水云的月、年际和年代际变化特征及所对应的环流背景和影响系统具有明显的差异。     

山西春季层状云系数值模拟及与飞机探测对比

采用中国气象科学研究院 (CAMS) 中尺度云参数化模式对2010年4月20日山西省一次春季层状降水云系的宏微观结构,特别是垂直方向上的微物理结构进行了数值模拟和分析。利用携带云粒子探测设备的飞机对该次层状云系进行了两次云物理探测飞行,并将飞机探测所获取的数据和图像资料与数值模拟结果进行了对比研究。模拟结果显示:该次降水过程以层状冷云降水为主,云中过冷水含量丰富,云系存在明显的3层结构,地面降水主要来自于云中高层冰晶、雪、霰等冰相粒子的融化和低层云水的转化。数值模拟与飞机探测对比分析显示,高空温度、湿度和高度的配置两者基本一致,数值模拟不同高度的云粒子相态、垂直方向云水比含水量与飞机探测获取的云粒子图像和云液态水含量的垂直结构基本吻合,但数值模拟的云中各种水成物粒子出现的高度较飞机探测偏高。     

An Observational Study of Wind Profiles in the Baroclinic Convective Mixed Layer

A comprehensive planetary boundary-layer (PBL) and synoptic data set is used to isolate the mechanisms that determine the vertical shear of the horizontal wind in the convective mixed layer. To do this, we compare a fair-weather convective PBL with no vertical shear through the mixed layer (10 March 1992), with a day with substantial vertical shear in the north-south wind component (27 February). The approach involves evaluating the terms of the budget equations for the two components of the vertical shear of the horizontal wind; namely: the time-rate-of-change or time-tendency term, differential advection, the Coriolis terms (a thermal wind term and a shear term), and the second derivative of the vertical transport of horizontal momentum with respect to height (turbulent-transport term). The data, gathered during the 1992 STorm-scale Operational and Research Meteorology (STORM) Fronts Experiments Systems Test (FEST) field experiment, are from gust-probe aircraft horizontal legs and soundings, 915-MHz wind profilers, a 5-cm Doppler radar, radiosondes, and surface Portable Automated Mesonet (PAM) stations in a roughly 50 × 50 km boundary-layer array in north-eastern Kansas, nested in a mesoscale-to-synoptic array of radiosondes and surface data.We present evidence that the shear on 27 February is related to the rapid growth of the convective boundary layer. Computing the shear budget over a fixed depth (the final depth of the mixed layer), we find that the time-tendency term dominates, reflecting entrainment of high-shear air from above the boundary layer. We suggest that shear within the mixed layer occurs when the time-tendency term is sufficiently large that the shear-reduction terms – namely the turbulent-transport term and differential advection terms – cannot compensate. In contrast, the tendency term is small for the slowly-growing PBL of 10 March, resulting in a balance between the Coriolis terms and the turbulent-transport term. Thus, the thermal wind appears to influence mixed-layer shear only indirectly, through its role in determining the entrained shear.     

Improvement of X-Band Polarization Radar Melting Layer Recognition by the Bayesian Method and ITS Impact on Hydrometeor Classification

Using melting layer(ML)and non-melting layer(NML)data observed with the X-band dual linear polarization Doppler weather radar(X-POL)in Shunyi,Beijing,the reflectivity(ZH),differential reflectivity(ZDR),and correlation coefficient(CC)in the ML and NML are obtained in several stable precipitation processes.The prior probability density distributions(PDDs)of the ZH,ZDR and CC are calculated first,and then the probabilities of ZH,ZDR and CC at each radar gate are determined(PBB in the ML and PNB in the NML)by the Bayesian method.When PBB>PNB the gate belongs to the ML,and when PBBPNB the gate belongs to the ML,and when PBB相似文献
