DYNAMICAL STUDY OF DIABATIC HEATING INFLUENCE ON RADIAL INHOMOGENEOUS STRUCTURE OF TROPICAL CYCLONE

Based on the tropical cyclone(TC)asymmetric disturbance as the superposition of thesymmetric environmental circulation,the analytical solution of travelling wave is given by usingthe barotropical nondivergent model with diabatic heating forcing and non-friction in a plane polarcoordinate.Then,the TC radial inhomogeneous structure is analyzed on radial/tangential velocityand geopotential height.It is found that the different kinds of structures are influenced by theCoriolis parameter(f),TC intensity(Ω),disturbance circular frequency(ω),and TC angularwavenumber(m).And,the diabatic heating(Q_1)has significant impacts on the radial/tangentialvelocity distribution shaped like the inner-tight and outer-relaxed.     

ON THE PREDICTION OF TROPICAL CYCLONE LANDFALL AND INFLUENCE ON SOUTHERN CHINA USING MONTHLY OLR ANOMALIES FOR PRIME SUMMER

With the OLR data,the landfall and activity of tropical cyclones(TC) in southern China over a 20-year period(1975～1994) are studied.The result shows that the variation of the monthly anomalous OLR is somewhat teleconnected with the TC activity in southern China.The former is used to predict short-term climate for the latter over months with frequent or no TC influence.To some externt,the relationship between the TC activity in southern China and the monthly mean OLR anomalies is dependent on the climatological location of the subtropical high in northwestern Pacific region.     

EFFECT OF THE NONLINEAR TERM ON MOVEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT OF TROPICAL CYCLONE

The dynamics of tropical cyclone is investigated in a nondivergent barotropic model with nobasic flow. The effect of nonlinear term on the movement and development of tropical cyclone isemphatically demonstrated. The advection of asymmetric vorticity by the symmetric flow (AAVS)produces the small-scale gyres (SSGs). The SSGs counterclockwise rotate around the tropicalcyclone center. The interaction of SSGs with the large-scale beta gyres (LSBGs) leads to theoscillation in translation speed and vacillation in translation direction for tropical cyclone. Theadvection of symmetric vorticity by the asymmetric flow (ASVA) steers the symmetric circulationof tropical cyclone. The ventilation flow vector determined by the asymmetric flow is closecorrelated with the motion vector of tropical cyclone. The nonlinear advection of relative vorticityis an order of magnitude greater than the linear advection of planetary vorticity, However, theasymmetric circulation created by the planetary vorticity advection provides a background conditionfor anomalous motions of the tropical cyclone. The combination of the linear and nonlinear effectsresults in accelerated, decelerated, changing direction and/or counterclockwise looping motions ofthe tropical cyclone.     

INTERACTION BETWEEN TROPICAL CYCLONE AND MEIYU FRONT

Generally speaking,the convection activities are inactive over western Pacific warm pool andtropical cyclone(TC)activity seldom occurs over the offshore of East Asia during the period ofMeiyu rainfall.However,if a TC is active in this area,the Meiyu rainfall will often weaken or endup.Based on a statistical study with the data from 1980 to 1995,it is found that about 91% of 23TC activities affected the intensity of Meiyu rainfall,and 50% of the end-up of Meiyu events wererelated to the active TCs and the change of subtropical high.The present paper simulates the effectof TC on Meiyu circulation by using MM4 model,and the results agree with the observations.From the point of view of vapor and energy transport,the landing of TC cuts not only thetransport of the water vapor to Changjiang-Huaihe River basin from the Bay of Bengal but also theconversion of the mean flow energy to the Meiyu circulation because of the TC forcing to the zonalcirculation.These two effects make the convection and perturbation existing in Meiyu region lackthe supply of the vapor and energy for their maintenance and lead to the end of Meiyu rainfall.

NUMERICAL STUDY ON THE EFFECTS OF SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE ON TROPICAL CYCLONE INTENSITY-PART I:NUMERICAL EXPERIMENT OF THE TROPICAL CYCLONE INTENSITY RELATED TO SST *

Evidence suggests that the model is capable of modeling quite welt the track and intensity of TC:SST variation leads to an abrupt change in the cyclone intensity:the response of the cyclone to the abrupt SST change lasts 8-12 h.     

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF SUMMER TROPICAL CYCLONE REMOTE PRECIPITATION EVENTS IN EAST ASIA FROM 2000 TO 2009 AND NUMERICAL SIMULATION

Using 1°×1° final analysis(FNL) data from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction(NCEP),precipitation data from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission(TRMM) and the best-track tropical cyclone(TC)dataset provided by the Japan Meteorological Agency(JMA) for June-August of 2000-2009, we comprehensively consider the two factors low-level moisture channel and interaction between TCs and mid-latitude systems and implement a statistical analysis of remote precipitation in East Asia to the north of 0° and to the west of 150° E. 48 cases of remote precipitation occurred in this period, which are categorized into five classes. After a composite analysis of the different classes, the main systems at 850 h Pa and 500 h Pa that impact the remote precipitation are as follows:TC, mid-latitude trough, subtropical high and water vapor channel. In particular, the water vapor channel which usually connects with Indian monsoon has the most significant impact on remote heavy rainfall. Another important factor is the mid-latitude trough. The type of north trough/vortex-south TC remote precipitation events happen most frequently,accounting for 68.8% of the total incidence. Most remote precipitation events occur on the right side of the TC path(representing 71% of the total number). At 200 h Pa, the remote precipitation events usually occur on the right rear portion of a high-altitude jet stream, and there is an anti-cyclonic vortex to the east and west of the TCs. When there is no anti-cyclonic vortex to the east of the TC, the TC is relatively weak. When the remote precipitation occurs to the northwest of the TC and there is a trough in the northwest direction, the TC is relatively strong. Numerical experiments are carried out using Weather Research and Forecast(WRF) model. The results shows that the TC plays a main role in producing the heavy precipitation and results in the enhancement of precipitation by impacting the water vapor channel.

APPLICATION OF AN OBJECTIVE DISCRIMINATING METHOD IN THE EVOLUTION OF TROPICAL CYCLONE "HAIMA" DURING EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION

An objective method for discriminating the process of extratropical transition (ET) in tropical cyclones is introduced. With this method, the gridpoint output data of NWP are used to calculate three parameters: storm-relative thickness symmetry (B), low-level (-VLT) and upper-level thermal wind (-VUT). This objective method is easy to calculate and convenient for operational use. To verify the method, this paper uses the NCEP reanalysis data to identify the evolution of ET for "Haima", a tropical storm (0421) that affected the eastern part of China in 2004. The result shows that the three parameters defined with the objective method are good indicators of the ET process.     

亚洲-西太平洋夏半年季节内振荡：热带气旋活动强、弱年的对比

应用有限区域波数-功率谱和滞后线性回归统计方法，对比分析1979—2004年热带气旋（TC）活动强、弱年亚洲-西太平洋区域（AWP）夏半年大气季节内振荡（ISO）的传播特征及海气相互作用过程。分析结果表明：在整个AWP和西太平洋区域都存在TC强年ISO东传特征更显著的特征，ISO对流传播在纬向上伸展更偏东，强年沿赤道东传20～60 d周期波动更强，西太平洋区域是传播特征强弱年区别较显著的区域，与TC活动密切联系；TC强、弱年ISO过程中海气相互作用过程相同，海洋和大气间的能量交换对维持ISO西北传播时起作用；TC强年的海气相互作用比弱年更加强烈，尤其是对流凝结潜热的释放在强年比弱年强，这可能是导致TC强、弱年ISO特征区别的原因之一。
