台风的数值模拟研究——积云动量输送作用

本文用一个考虑积云动量垂直输送作用的二维轴对称原始方程模式,模拟了台风的生成和发展过程。数值试验所得到的“模式台风”比考虑Ekman抽吸作用所得结果在其结构上更接近实际台风。因此,同Ekman抽吸一样,积云动量垂直输送作用也可以激发第二类条件不稳定(CISK),促使台风的生成和发展。而且,积云动量垂直输送作用,在台风的形成和维持中可能比Ekman抽吸更为重要。     

TUTT对台风形成作用的动力学研究

基于第二类条件不稳定理论，本文对热带对流层上部槽（TUTT）在台风形成中的作用进行了动力学研究。结果表明，TUTT对台风生成有一些促进作用，但相对于边界层的Ekman抽吸以及积云动量输送作用却是很弱小的。因此，对于台风的发生发展，还是应该更多着眼于热带对流层中低层的情况。     

暖切变型江淮梅雨锋结构及其形成和维持机制

对在1991年7月上旬特别稳定的梅雨形势下持续10天的特大暴雨期作了合成和典型过程研究,并进一步探讨了暖切变型江淮梅雨锋天气系统模型。它在自由大气层表现为结构竖立的相当正压切变线和一种不同于经典地转动量近似的带状准二维运动场。边界层的浅层锋生倾斜环流以及偏于切变线轴以南的Ekman抽吸与自由大气层中基本上由积云对流加热驱动的竖直环流相互依存和耦合,造成持续的大暴雨。这种系统的初生和中断后复苏的机制可能是由斜压性极弱的副热带高空东移的短波扰动在低层“湿度锋”带紧南侧触发导致的一种带状CISK。     

Ekman动量近似下中间边界层模式中的风场结构

发展了一个准三维的、中等复杂的边界层动力学模式，该模式包含了EKman动量近似下的惯性加速度和Blackadar的非线性湍流粘性系数，它进一步改进了Tan和Wu(1993）提出的边界层理论模型。该模型在数值计算复杂性上与经典Ekman模式相类似，但由于包含了Ekman动量近似下的惯性项，使得该模式比传统Ekman模式更近于实际过程。中详细地比较了该模式与其他简化边界层模式在动力学上的差异，结果表明：在经典的Ekman模式中，由于忽略了流动的惯性项作用，导致在气旋性切变气流（反气旋性切变气流）中风速和边界层顶部的垂直速度的高估（低估），而在半地转边界层模式中，由于高估了流动惯性项的作用，结果与经典Ekman模式相反。同样，该模式可以应用于斜压边界层，对于Ekman动量下的斜压边界层风场同时具有经典斜压边界层和Ekman动量近似边界层的特征。     

斜压性与非线性Ekman抽吸的动力特征

本文利用Ekman动量近似研究了斜压性对Ekman层动力学的影响,得到了一些新的结果。大气斜压性对Ekman层的水平风速分布及近地面的风速矢的水平分量夹角有重要的改变作用。斜压边界层顶部的非线性Ekman抽吸(垂直运动)由三个不同的物理因子决定,第一、正压性的地面地转涡度,第二、斜压性作用产生的热成风涡度,第三、正压性的地面地转涡度与斜压性的热成风涡度的非线性相互作用。这些理论结果为边界层的参数化及数值模拟结果的解释提供物理基础。     

定常积云的云底抽吸与Haltiner气柱模式

本文提出积云发展过程中存在着云底抽吸效应。按照气柱模式,云底处质量连续性的要求,发展最强阶段积云的云底抽吸主要取决于云底浮力,一般浓积云的云底抽吸还依赖于云底动力挟卷率。一般情况下,气团内部发展最强阶段的较强的积云的云底抽吸是云底入流的第一近似。 数值计算和对实际积云的吸入量和云高模拟的结果支持了云底抽吸的概念。     

PUMPING AT STEADY CUMULUS BASE AND HALTINER’S AIR COLUMN MODEL

It is presented that there is a pumping effect at its base in the development process of a cumulus.In the strongest stage of cumulus development,the pumping is mainly produced by the buoyance at the base,and may be taken as the first approximation of the ascending speed at the base.The results of numerical calculations and simulations of four observed radar echoes show that as the first approximation,the height of air-mass cumulus may be simulated by Haltiner model in the absence of observed ascending speeds at the base,and the Haltiner model can be characterized by the sensitivity of the cumulus development to the virtual temperature excess over environment at the base.     

台风移动规律的研究 Ⅱ.小地形与边界层的动力作用

从支配台风中心移动的基本方程出发，着重分析了小地形（地形高度与台风系统的的垂直厚度相双为小量）的抬升作用和边界层的摩擦作用对台风移动影响的定性特征。结果表明，较高地势对台风有“吸收”作用；边界层摩擦辐合引起的艾克曼抽吸有利于台风产生沿局地流场引导速度方向的加速度。     

EFFECT OF THE THERMAL FORCING ON THE SECONDARY CIRCULATION OF TYPHOONS

A non-dimensional secondary circulation equation for typhoons has been derived and then 11-yr com-positing typhoon data were used to estimate the thermally forced secondary circulation.The main resultshave been obtained as follows:(1)The diabatic heating and Cu vertical heat mixing are major thermal forcing factors.They have thesame magnitude of order.(2)The effects of eddy flux and Cu horizontal mixing of heat are of minor im-portance.(3)Ekman pumping and Cu vertical heat mixing cooperatively work.This feedback process isfavorable for the enhancement of the secondary circulation of typhoons.     

登陆台风不连续北跳与暴雨的数值模拟研究

利用MM4（PSU/NCAR）模式，对1992年8月31日20时～9月1日20时登陆台风暴雨过程进行了数值试验研究。结果表明；登陆台风的不连续北跳与西风槽和积云对流潜热反馈有关。倒槽南部雨区内积云对流的发展加大了对台风倒槽内的水汽、动量、热量等输送，使倒槽内降水增幅。积云对流潜热反馈对高低空急流以及台风的移动都有很大的影响。     

边界层动力学中的Ekman动量近似

自由大气中,大气运动的基本状态是地转风,近年来发展的地转动量近似,是为了进一步研究非均匀地转流的动力学问题,然而,在边界层大气中,运动的基本状态是经典的Ekman流,所以对边界层运动来说,地转动量近似是不合适的,需作一推广。本文提出了一种所谓Ekman动量近似,它相似于自由大气中的地转动量近似,并讨论了Ekman动量近似的物理基础,对边界层的风场结构及边界屋顶部的垂直速度也作了详细分析。     

用轴对称的平衡模式对热带气旋发展过程中 积云动量垂直混合作用的模拟

引入一个轴对称的平衡数值模式,在该模式中考虑积云动量垂直混合等物理过程,然后以此模式对热带气旋形成和发展的过程进行了模拟。所作研究表明,引入积云动量垂直混合作用之后热带气旋发展更为迅速,并且成熟气旋的强度更强;在气旋生成的初期,积云动量混合的作用并不大,只有在气旋发展到了一定阶段,积云对流十分旺盛时,才会产生较大的作用;在空间分布上,积云动量垂直混合主要发生在对流层的中低层,而高层则相对较弱,对热带气旋的影响很小。另外,发展成熟的热带气旋其辐散层较厚,质量辐合主要集中在边界层;热带气旋的内部结构和环流特征造成了各个高度层次上熵的不同分布形态。     

The Ekman momentum approximation and its application

In the boundary layer, the flow is basically an equilibrium of three forces: Coriolis, pressure gradient and frictional. This means that it is an Ekman flow while the basic flow in the free atmosphere is an equilibrium of two forces: Coriolis and pressure gradient, and is a geostrophic flow. Therefore, it is natural to try to modify the geostrophic momentum approximation in the free atmosphere to become an Ekman momentum approximation in the boundary layer. The physical explanation and foundation of the Ekman momentum approximation are discussed.     

Numerical study of mesoscale cellular convection

Mesoscale cellular convections over the East China Sea during cold air outbreaks are simulated with a high-resolution numerical model. The model incorporates important physical processes involved in shallow convection, such as the exchange of heat and moisture between water and air; condensation; evaporation; and vertical turbulent transfer of heat, moisture, and momentum.The results show that open cells develop with aspect ratios as large as 14. The structure of the convection is examined in detail. The organized mesoscale circulation is responsible for breaking up the initial stratus cloud deck and enhancing turbulence in the upward-moving area (especially inside cumulus clouds). However, it is found that the heat flux contributed by MCC's themselves is much smaller than the eddy heat flux.     

经典Ekman流,Ekman层的平衡风场及其扰动稳定性

本文首先利用变分方法,考察了边界层运动能量的变化,指出经典Ekman流是在不可压缩条件下,能量积分达最小值时的一种平衡运动。这对Ekman层运动的物理本质有了进一步的认识。其次,讨论了Ekman动量近似下的Ekman层的平衡风场特征,研究了该平衡风场附近扰动的稳定性问题,结果表明,在自由大气气压场不发生扰动条件下,Ekman层中存在一类新的与惯性不稳定相类似的动力不稳定,且其不稳定性可与Ekman抽吸相联系,还讨论了一般性条件下的扰动不稳定性问题。     

提高模式分辨率后热带气旋生成迟缓的原因分析

利用目前国际上最先进的中尺度WRF模式模拟热带气旋生成,网格分辨率从9 km增加到3 km,3 km网格中积云参数化方案不起作用,依靠微物理方案来模拟对流尺度系统特征,模式中热带气旋的生成过程变得迟缓。当低压扰动发展到一定程度后再加入3 km网格,生成过程有加快趋势。本研究针对该现象进行分析。结果表明:只用微物理方案使低层(950～700 hPa)风速的垂直切变减小,不利于对流发展;切变减小主要是由于动量垂直输送项的差异所致。在加入细网格的6 h内,低层对流尺度(减去区域平均)的动量垂直输送量平均增加了一倍,某些时刻达到了5倍以上;动量混合增加是由于微物理方案模拟的垂直速度增加所致。此外,只用微物理方案导致对流有效位能迅速被消耗。低层垂直切变和对流有效位能的减小都不利于对流发展,从而导致热带气旋生成发展过程迟缓。本研究表明,目前WRF中的微物理方案在模拟热带气旋生成过程中的对流发展时仍然存在问题。     

Equilibrium mechanism analysis on the physical processes of IAP3.0

Based on the detection of the dynamic and thermodynamic functions of the physical processes in IAP3.0, the equilibrium mechanisms of the temperature, moisture and wind are analyzed. The negative feedback between the longwave radiation and temperature is verified. The cooling regulation of net radiation on temperature is mostly balanced by the heating of precipitation, the leading actions on temperature of other processes such as vertical diffusion, shallow cumulus convection and friction are merely available for lower air. The moisture consumption of precipitation is compensated on the whole by the provision of shallow cumulus convection, which sustains the moisture conservation to a high degree. The wind field is directly regulated by the momentum redistribution of cumulus, the dry adiabatic convection and vertical diffusion. Yet, the prominent influences of these processes are generally confined to the lower level. The east wind at low latitudes and the west wind at high latitudes are both weakened by the regulations and furthermore, by virtue of the transportation of mean meridional circulation, such a variation exactly maintains the angular momentum conservation.     

A MODIFIED CUMULUS PARAMETERIZATION SCHEME AND ITS APPLICATION IN THE SIMULATIONS OF THE HEAVY PRECIPITATION CASES

According to the characteristics of organized cumulus convective precipitation in China, a cumulus parameterization scheme suitable for describing the organized convective precipitation in East Asia is presented and modified. The Kain–Fristch scheme is chosen as the scheme to be modified based on analyses and comparisons of simulated precipitation in East Asia by several commonly-used mesoscale parameterization schemes. A key dynamic parameter to dynamically control the cumulus parameterization is then proposed to improve the Kain–Fristch scheme. Numerical simulations of a typhoon case and a Mei-yu front rainfall case are carried out with the improved scheme, and the results show that the improved version performs better than the original in simulating the track and intensity of the typhoons, as well as the distribution of Mei-yu front precipitation.     

Impacts of cumulus momentum transport on MJO simulation

Vertical cumulus momentum transport is an important physical process in the tropical atmosphere and plays a key role in the evolution of the tropical atmospheric system. This paper focuses on the impact of the vertical cumulus momentum transport on Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) simulation in two global climate models (GCMs). The Tiedtke cumulus parameterization scheme is applied to both GCMs [CAM2 and Spectral Atmospheric general circulation Model of LASG/IAP (SAMIL)]. It is found that the MJO simulation ability might be influenced by the vertical cumulus momentum transport through the cumulus parameterization scheme. However, the use of vertical momentum transport in different models provides different results. In order to improve model's MJO simulation ability, we must introduce vertical cumulus momentum transport in a more reasonable way into models. Furthermore, the coherence of the parameterization and the underlying model also need to be considered.
