南海夏季风降水的区域差异及其突变特征

使用1950~1997年NCAR/NCEP再分析逐日降水资料,采用聚类和相关分析相结合的方法对南海夏季风降水进行了区域划分,分析了南海夏季风降水爆发前后南海降水的突变特征。结果表明:南海 105~120°E,0~20°N区域可划分为 SCS1区、SCS2区、SCS3区和SCS4区4个小区域,每个区域的降水有其各自不同的变化特征。前三个区域的降水变化不显著,不能反映南海夏季风降水爆发的突然性,变化最显著的是SCS4区,它最好地刻画了南海夏季风降水的变化特征,因此,我们选取它作为今后工作中南海夏季风降水的研究范围。突变检验表明,5月17日,南海SCS4区降水发生明显的突变,与5月15日相比,SCS4区降水场形势发生明显变化,其区域平均降水突增超过6 mm/day,标志着南海夏季风降水的爆发。     

南海夏季风与台山汛期降水的关系

通过对台山汛期雨量和南海夏季风爆发迟早及强弱与台山汛期旱涝之间的可能关系进行分析，初步探讨南海夏季风对台山汛期旱涝、开汛日的影响。     

1998年夏季中国南部低频降水特征与南海低频夏季风活动

1998年 5～ 8月 4 0°N以南的中国地区低频 (含准 4 5天、准 2 3天和准14天 )降水率及其方差占总降水率及其方差的比重很大 ,因此研究低频降水及与其相对应的低频环流对长江流域洪涝的影响是很重要的。研究表明 ,准 4 5天东西向低频槽脊由南海不断向北传播 ,以及低槽中的低频低涡向西传播是形成长江流域低频降水的重要原因 ,低频降水主要位于低频西风区 ,而低频槽南侧的低频西风实质是南海低频夏季风的表现 ,由此可见 ,南海低频夏季风的向北传播对长江流域降水具有重要贡献。     

热带西太平洋夏季风和南海夏季风之间的联系

根据热带西太平洋（１３０°－１６０°Ｅ,１０°－２０°Ｎ）上空对流的年际变化,对表面温度、向外长波幅射、８５０ ｈＰａ纬向风进行了合成分析。合成分析结果表明,热带西太平洋上空的弱（强）对流对应着前冬和春季厄尔尼诺（拉尼娜）型的海温异常。与以前的研究结果进行了比较,说明上述海温异常的时空分布也与热带西太平洋和南海季风的爆发早晚相关联。合成分析结果还表明,热带西太平洋上空的弱（强）对流对应着从热带西太平洋向西伸展到盂加拉湾的东风（西风）异常。数值模拟也得到类似的结果。此外,在对流弱（强）的夏季,热带西太平洋上空的对流和南海低层纬向风均表现出弱（强）的季节演变特征。     

南海夏季风对华南夏季降水年代际变化的影响

华南夏季降水和南海夏季风都具有准两年的变化特征。研究表明：20世纪70年代以后，华南夏季降水年代际变化主要表现在准两年尺度平均方差的变化上，当准两年方差大时，相应的华南夏季降水多，反之亦然。但是在1976年以前南海夏季风对华南夏季降水的影响并不大，这似乎与两者准两年变化关系的年代际变化有关。南海夏季风和华南夏季降水的准两年变化在1953-1976年是弱的反位相变化关系，相反地，这一时段它们的非准两年变化成分有很强的正相关；在1977-2000年这一阶段，南海夏季风和华南夏季降水的准两年变化具有很强的正相关，但是它们的非准两年变化成分的相关性则很差。分析结果还表明，20世纪70年代大气环流的年代际变异使得华南夏季降水准两年变化在最近20多年成为其年际时间演变的主导成分。     

高原夏季风与南海夏季风关系及其影响

利用1983-2012年NCEP/NCAR、NCEP/DOE、ECMWF再分析月平均资料,及中国160站月平均气温和降水量资料,利用统计学方法从大气环流、降水及温度等方面对高原夏季风与南海夏季风的关系进行了探讨。结果表明:高原夏季风与南海夏季风呈负相关关系,且大气环流及对流活动存在显著性差异。高原夏季风偏强(弱)同时南海夏季风偏弱(强)时,同期中国大部分地区的500hPa高度场偏低(高),南海地区500hPa高度场偏高(低);欧亚大陆低纬地区大部为偏东(西)风,南海地区处于反气旋(气旋)环流中。青藏高原主体地区上升运动较弱(强),南海中心区域上升运动均较弱(强),长江中下游地区降水增加(减少),华南降水减少(增加)。中国大部分地区气温较低(高),华南地区气温较高(低)。     

南海和南亚大气季节内振荡月异常对夏季风活动及中国东部夏季降水的影响

利用ECMWF逐日再分析资料(1961—2000年),中国气象局国家气候中心提供的1961—2000年中国160个站降水资料,探讨了夏季逐月南海和南亚ISO的强弱对南海和南亚夏季风及中国东部降水的影响。研究表明,夏季各月南海和南亚ISO异常对夏季风活动及中国东部降水的影响存在显著的差异,有分月进行讨论的必要。夏季各个月南海大气ISO的异常对南海和南亚夏季风活动的影响在6、7月有些相似,都表现为ISO强(弱)与南海地区和南亚地区气旋性(反气旋性)环流相对应,而8月截然相反,ISO强(弱)与仍南海地区气旋性(反气旋性)环流对应,而南亚地区表现为反气旋性(气旋性)环流。南亚大气ISO异常对夏季风活动的影响与南海地区有较大差异,6月和8月南亚大气ISO强(弱)与南亚地区气旋性(反气旋性)环流对应,而7月ISO的强(弱)对应于南亚地区反气旋性(气旋性)环流。6月南亚大气ISO强(弱)对应于南海地区气旋性(反气旋性)环流,而7、8月无论是南亚大气ISO强年还是弱年,南海地区都表现为反气旋性异常环流。从降水来看,夏季6、7月南海大气ISO偏强(弱)年,长江以南大部分为正(负)距平而江淮流域降水基本上为负(正)距平。而8月南海大气ISO强弱年,长江以南与江淮流域这种反相的降水特征并不明显。7月南亚大气ISO强(弱)年,长江以南降水大部分为负(正)距平而江淮流域为正(负)距平,而6月和8月南亚大气ISO的强弱对中国东部降水的影响并不如7月表现明显。     

夏季广东降水异常变化与夏季风

利用广东省３６个地面站降水量资料和ＮＣＥＰ８５０ｈＰａ再分析资料，采用相关分析和合成对比分析方法，探讨了广东降水变化与夏季季风活动的关系。发现广东夏季降水量变化与南海北部西南风大小成显著正相关，但并不能由此得出南海北部西南季风强广东降水多的结论。前汛期（４－６月），西南季风可以给广东带来降水，但降水的变化与西南季风强度变化关系不显著，５－６月份甚至出现热带西南季风弱广东降水反而强的情况，其主要的影响来自于副热带季风的加强。后汛期（７－９月），当西南季风在南海中北部地区加强，副热带季风对广东影响减弱时，广东降水增大。     

南海夏季风强度指数及其变化特征

依据南海夏季风活动的基本特征，设计了一个动力不因子（西南风分量）与热力学因子（OLR）相结合标准化的南海夏季风强度指数Is。并计算出1975－1999年6、7、8中各月及夏季Is的数据，给出了强、弱夏季风月和年。分析了其变化特征和Is与夏季风爆发早晚，及与广东和我国降水的关系。结果表明：近35年来，南海夏季风年际变化有准10年和准3－4年变化周期。南海夏季风爆发早（晚），则该年夏季风大多偏强（弱）。南海夏季风强（弱）年，广东后汛期偏涝（旱），前汛期降水正常或偏旱（正常），我国东北、华北大部和江南大部夏季降水偏多（少），而长江中下游和华北西部以及华西偏少（多）。     

东亚夏季风对山西省夏季降水的影响

利用NCEP1948～2007年逐日再分析资料、中国600站1960～2007年逐月降水资料和山西省1960～2007年65个测站的逐月、逐日降水资料,确立了850hPa112.5°E上候平均的假相当位温(θse)为340K和候平均的经向风为南风且南风风速≥2.5m·s-1等值线同时通过35°N的日期,将其作为山西省夏季风建立的时间,以θse≥340K的持续候数与平均持续候数相比的标准化值构造为东亚夏季风对山西省影响的强度指数I,可以较好地表征东亚季风区夏季风的强度和降水的空间分布,也可以较好地反映山西省夏季降水的强度和空间分布。该季风指数的年代际变化特征和线性趋势表明,自20世纪70年代以来东亚夏季风对山西省的影响有明显减弱的趋势,并且在1967年季风指数突变性地由强变弱。对山西省夏季风的建立和撤退时间的分析表明,近60年来东亚夏季风对山西省的影响时间越来越短。最后,分析了强弱夏季风指数年大气环流场的异常特征。     

ESTABLISHMENT OF SUMMER MONSOON IN SOUTH CHINA SEA AND INTENSITY VARIATION

The 850 hPa wind field data from NCEP and OLR data are used to study the variation behavior of the southwesterly wind and OLR in the South China Sea and their mutual relationship. A monsoon index is putforward that reflects the variation of the southwest monsoon in the region. In the preliminary study or intensity variation and establishment time of the monsoon, it is found that it is of dual peaks on the seasonal scale and the interannual variation of the monsoon intensity and the establishment time are related with sea surface temperature. The summer monsoon is established earlier and with higher intensity in the EI Niño year and vice versa.     

南海夏季风强度与我国汛期降水的关系

对4种南海夏季风强度指数(1951～1998年)进行了对比分析,发现尽管它们在某些年份有差异,但在年际变化总体趋势上仍表现一致,并且由它们所确定的季风强弱年也基本相同.统计分析了南海夏季风强度与我国汛期降水的关系,结果表明,南海夏季风强(弱)年,我国夏季雨带型呈Ⅰ(Ⅲ)类分布,长江中下游地区夏季(6～7月)少雨干旱(多雨洪涝),广东省后汛期降水以偏涝(正常和偏旱)为主.南海夏季风强度指数与夏季长江中下游区降水和淮河区降水有显著的反相关,与江南区降水和华南后汛期降水有显著的正相关.我国夏季出现的严重洪涝(如1998年长江流域特大洪涝和1994年华南特大暴雨)与南海夏季风的强度异常有关.此外,分析还表明,南海夏季风活动强弱造成的北半球东亚500 hPa位势高度场的经向波列型遥相关是影响中国夏季降水的一个重要机制.     

INTENSITY INDEX OF SOUTH CHINA SEA MONSOON AND ITS VARIATION CHARACTERISTICS

According to the basic characteristics of the activities of summer monsoon in the South China Sea,Standardized index,Is,has been designed that integrates a dynamic factor(southwesterly component) and a thermodynamic factor(OLR) for the indication of summer monsoon in the South China Sea,With the index determined for individual months of June,July and August and the entire summertime from 1975 to 1999,specific months and years are indicated that are either strong or weak in monsoon intensity,The variation is studied for the patterns and Is‘s relationship is revealed with the onset of summer monsoon and the precipitation in Guang-dong province and China.The results show that there are quasi-10 and quasi-3-4 year cycles in the interannual variation of the monsooon over the past 25 years.When it has an early(late)onset,the summer monsoon is usually strong (weak),In the strong(weak)monsoon,years,precipitation tends to be more(less)in the first raining season of the year but normal or less(normal)in the second,in the province,but it would be more(less) in northeastern China and most parts of the northern china and south of the lower reaches of the Changjiang River and less(more)in the middle and lower reaches of the river,western part of northern China and western China.     

亚洲热带气候态夏季风涌传播特征及其对中国降水的影响

基于1979—2020年逐日的NOAA向外长波辐射资料、NCEP/NCAR再分析风场资料,以及全球CMAP再分析降水资料,探讨了气候态亚洲热带夏季风涌的传播过程及与我国夏季相应的降水联系。分析结果表明,主汛期亚洲热带气候态夏季风季节内振荡(CISO)活动是亚洲夏季风活动的主要特征,随时间北传的亚洲热带夏季风CISO称为亚洲热带夏季风涌,主要有南亚夏季风涌和南海夏季风涌。亚洲热带夏季风涌的传播可分为四个阶段。在亚洲热带夏季风涌的发展阶段,印度洋区域低频气旋与对流活跃,孟加拉湾和南海热带区域被低频东风控制,我国大部分地区无降水发生,降水中心位于两广地区。当进入亚洲热带夏季风涌活跃阶段,孟加拉湾和南海热带地区低频气旋和对流活跃,东亚低频“PJ”波列显著,我国降水中心北移到长江以南的附近区域。亚洲热带夏季风涌减弱阶段,孟加拉湾与南海低频气旋消亡,对流减弱,低频西风加强,日本南部附近为低频反气旋控制,我国长江中下游低频南风活跃,降水中心也北移到长江中下游地区,而华南地区已基本无降水,此阶段的大气低频环流场与亚洲热带夏季风涌发展阶段基本相反。进入亚洲热带夏季风涌间歇阶段时,孟加拉湾和南海热带地区低...     

CLIMATIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ONSET OF SOUTH CHINA SEA SUMMER MONSOON II. INTER-DECADAL VARIATION

By using the 40-year NCEP (1958-1997) grid point reanalysis meteorological data, we analyzed the inter-decadal variation on the climatic characteristics of the onset of South China Sea summer monsoon. The results are as follows. (1) There was great difference on the onset date of the SCS summer monsoon between the first two decades and the last two decades. It was late on the 6th pentad of May for the first two decades and was on the 4th and 5th pentad of May for the next two decades. (2) Except for the third decade (1978-1987), the establishment of the monsoon rainfall was one to two pentads earlier than the onset of the summer monsoon in all other three decades. (3) The onset of the SCS monsoon is the result of the abrupt development and eastward advancement of the southwesterly monsoon over the Bay of Bengal. The four-decade analysis shows that there were abrupt development of the southwesterly monsoon over the Bay of Bengal between the 3rd and 4th pentad of May, but there was great difference between its eastward movement and its onset intensity. These may have important effect to the earlier or later onset of the SCS summer monsoon. (4) During the onset of the SCS summer monsoon, there were great difference in the upper and lower circulation feature between the first two and the next two decades. At the lower troposphere of the first two decades, the Indian-Burma trough was stronger and the center of the subtropical high was located more eastward. At the upper troposphere, the northward movement of the center of subtropical high was large and located more northward after it landed on the Indo-China Peninsula. After comparison, we can see that the circulation feature of the last two decades was favorable to the establishment and development of the SCS summer monsoon.     

VARIATION OF AEROSOL OPTICAL CHARACTERISTICS IN GUANGZHOU DURING SOUTH CHINA SEA SUMMER MONSOON EVENTS

Variations in Guangzhou’s aerosol optical characteristics and their possible causes are studied against the large-scale background of South China Sea summer monsoons(SCSSM) using aerosol data derived from Panyu Atmospheric Composition Watch Station in Guangzhou and the National Centers for Environmental Prediction/National Center for Atmospheric Research(USA). The data is reanalyzed to develop a composite analysis and perform physical diagnoses. Analysis of the results shows that aerosol extinction in Guangzhou first increases then decreases during the active period of a SCSSM, with variations in the stratification of the planetary boundary layer(PBL) and environmental winds playing important roles in affecting Guangzhou’s aerosol optical characteristics. Regional diabatic heating and anomalous cyclonic circulations excited by monsoon convection induce environmental wind anomalies that significantly modify the stratification of the PBL.     

1998年南海西南季风活动的初步分析

利用NCEP再分析资料和OLR、SST观测数据,分析了1998年南海西南季风的建立日期、强度的多时间尺度变化特征、与海面温度的相互作用以及对广东降水的影响.得出南海西南季风建立的日期为5月17日(5月4候).1998年为弱季风年,OLR具有1个月左右的振荡周期,西南风具有半个月左右的振荡周期.孟加拉湾地区季风和105°E越赤道气流是南海季风低频变化的重要策源地.1998年南海季风弱,主要是由于初春赤道东太平洋海温正距平,并导致南海-阿拉伯海海温正距平的结果.     

A STUDY ON THE PRECIPITATION CHARACTERISTICS OVER THE SOUTH CHINA SEA BEFORE AND AFTER THE MONSOON ONSET

This paper presents a study on the temporal and spatial variations of the precipitation over the area of the South China Sea (SCS) during the monsoon onset period. The data used are from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) observations between April and June over the nine years from 1998 to 2006. This study focuses on the central and northern part of South China Sea (110-120°E, 10-20°N). Based on the observations, the 27th pentad is selected as the occurrence time of the SCS monsoon onset. The conclusions are as follows. (1) After the monsoon onset, the specific area, defined as the ratio of the number of pixels with certain type of precipitation to the number of total pixels, extends significantly for both convective and stratiform rain, with the latter having a larger magnitude. The specific rainfall, defined as the ratio of the amount of certain type of precipitation to the total amount of precipitation, decreases for convective rain and increases for stratiform rain. (2) Results also show significant increase in heavy rain and decrease in light rain after the monsoon onset. (3) Changes are also observed in the rainfall horizontal distributions over the SCS before and after the monsoon onset, manifested by the relocation of precipitation minima for both convective and stratiform rain. (4) After the monsoon onset, the variability in characteristics of precipitation vertical structure increases significantly, leading to more latent heat release and consequently deeper convection. Meanwhile, the bright-band altitude of stratiform precipitation is also elevated.     

DETERMINATION OF SOUTH CHINA SEA MONSOON ONSET AND EAST ASIAN SUMMER MONSOON INDEX
