西藏近35年地表湿润指数变化特征及其影响因素

利用1971-2005年西藏25个气象站月平均最高气温、最低气温、风速、相对湿度、日照时数、降水量等资料,应用Penman-Monteith模犁计算了最大潜在蒸散、地表湿润指数,分析了其空间分布、年际变化特征及季节差异,并讨论了影响地表湿润指数变化的气象因子.研究表明:近35年,西藏年降水量表现为显著的增加趋势,增幅为15.0 mm/(10 a);年最大潜在蒸散呈不同程度的减小趋势,为-4.6--71.6 mm/(10 a).阿里地区西南部、聂拉木年地表湿润指数为不显著的减小趋势,其他各地均呈增大趋势,增幅为0.02-0.09.就西藏平均而言,年地表湿润指数以0.04/10 a的速率显著增大,尤其足近25年增幅更为明显.各季节地表湿润指数也表现为增大趋势,以夏季增幅最明显.20世纪70年代剑80年代主要表现为以低温低湿为主的年际变化特征,进入90年代后,气温持续升高,地表湿润指数明显增加,呈现山暖湿型的气候特征.降水量和相对湿度的明显增加,以及平均气温日较差的显著减小是地表湿润指数显著增加的主要原因,平均风速和日照时数的明显减少,在湿润指数增加趋势中也起着重要作用.     

中国东北地区地表干湿状况的变化及趋势分析

利用1961~2000年中国东北地区80个测站的月降水和平均气温资料，通过计算地表最大潜在蒸发、地表干燥度指数和地表水分盈亏量，分析了东北地区及其7个不同气候区域地表干湿状况的时空分布规律及其变化趋势，并探讨了它与降水和气温的关系。结果表明，东北地区及其不同区域的地表干湿状况不仅具有较大的地域差别和年际及年代际变率，而且存在着明显的阶段性和低频变化特征，特别是20世纪90年代中期以来，东北地区呈现出较强的变干倾向，并且由于气温升高所导致的潜在蒸发的加大与降水一样对这一变干倾向也有十分重要的影响。     

A DIAGNOSTIC ANALYSIS OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE FLUXES AND METEOROLOGICAL ELEMENTS OVER TROPICAL WESTERN PACIFIC

Through the use of the hourly wind, air temperature and humidity, sea surface temperature data measured on board the observing vessel Moana Wave and buoy in the warm pool of western Pacific during the IOP of TOGA COARE, we compute the fluxes over sea surface and analyze the characteristics of the variation ofthe latent heat flux with sea surface temperature. During weak rather than strong wind periods a maximum valueof latent heat flux appears at some points of SST, which is caused mainly by the variations of wind, then by the humidity difference between air and sea and the transfer coefficient with SAT. Using correlation analysis. we also analyze the relationship between the fluxes and meteorological elements during weak wind periods. wester lywind burst periods, and convective disturbed periods etc. The main conclusions are that the latent heat flux ismainly determined by wind, sensible heat flux by the potential temperature difference between air and sea and the momentum flux by wind. The precipitation affects the sensible heat flux through the potential temperature difference and wind.

亚洲东部冬季地面温度变化与平流层弱极涡的关系

利用NCEP资料计算NAM指数和标准化温度距平,对17次平流层弱极涡事件时亚洲东部温度变化进行了研究。结果表明:平流层环流异常比对流层温度变化超前约15天,地面温度变化的最大距平出现在平流层弱极涡后期,大约以40°N为界,北部比正常年份偏冷而南部偏暖。文中通过位势涡度的分布和变化以及500 hPa东亚大槽的变化讨论了其影响过程和机理,在弱极涡初期和中期,自平流层向下,高位涡冷空气主要局限于60°N以北。从弱极涡的后期开始,在45°N以北地区,高位涡冷空气向南扩张,在对流层中上层,极地附近的高位涡冷空气扩张到45°N附近。同时,500 hPa东亚大槽虽有加强,但低压区向东延伸,而贝加尔湖附近的高压脊显著减弱,致使槽后的偏北气流减弱,槽后冷空气主要影响中国华北、东北及其以北地区,造成这些地区偏冷。而40°N以南地区,从弱极涡的后期开始有南方低位涡偏暖空气向北运动,同时冷空气活动减少,地面显著偏暖。     

Diagnosis of a Moist Thermodynamic Advection Parameter in Heavy-Rainfall Events

A moist thermodynamic advection parameter, defined as an absolute value of the dot product of hori- zontal gradients of three-dimensional potential temperature advection and general potential temperature, is introduced to diagnose frontal heavy rainfall events in the north of China. It is shown that the parameter is closely related to observed 6-h accumulative surface rainfall and simulated cloud hydrometeors. Since the parameter is capable of describing the typical vertical structural characteristics of dynamic, thermodynamic and water vapor fields above a strong precipitation region near the front surface, it may serve as a physical tracker to detect precipitable weather systems near to a front. A tendency equation of the parameter was derived in Cartesian coordinates and calculated with the simulation output data of a heavy rainfall event. Results revealed that the advection of the parameter by the three-dimensional velocity vector, the covariance of potential temperature advection by local change of the velocity vector and general potential temperature, and the interaction between potential temperature advection and the source or sink of general potential temperature, accounted for local change in the parameter. This indicated that the parameter was determined by a combination of dynamic processes and cloud microphysical processes.

Cut-off lows in the Southern Hemisphere and their extension to the surface

Many cut-off low (COL) climatologies have been done throughout the Southern Hemisphere. Few have focused on COL vertical depth and their link to surface cyclones that often accompany these systems. Here we extend these climatologies in order to gain an understanding of the spatial, mobility, temporal, and seasonal variability of COL extensions towards the surface. Deep COLs (dCOLs), with extension all the way to the surface, are most frequent in the autumn months, are longer lasting, are more mobile and found most frequently situated in the high latitudes. They are usually collocated with Rossby wave breaking (RWB) on multiple isentropic surfaces. These RWB events drive high potential vorticity air into the upper troposphere. The depths of these intrusions are also shown to be critical to the development of COL extensions with dCOLs associated with deeper intrusions into the mid-troposphere. Upper-level PV features are collocated with warm surface potential temperature anomalies which can play a critical role in surface cyclogenesis. The warm surface potential temperature features, when out of phase with coupled upper tropospheric processes (surface features lagging behind upper level processes), can inhibit surfaceward extension and result in shallow COL (sCOL) development. Composite analysis shows that dCOLs that drive their own surface low development result in the simultaneous amplification of troughs throughout the troposphere, with the surface cyclone developing within a day of the COL.

利用一个具有较高分辨率的海气耦合模式SINTEX-F(Scale Interaction Experiment-Frontier Research Center for Global Change coupled GCM)的多年回报结果,评估了该海气耦合模式对东亚区域,尤其是中国地区气候异常的预测潜力.与观测实况的比较结果表明:SINTEX-F模式对夏季降水、500 hPa高度场和地表气温都有一定的预测技巧,但是相比而言降水与高度场的回报技巧要高于地表气温;而且耦合模式对东亚地区气候异常的主要空间分布和年际变化特征也有较好的预测潜力,对500 hPa高度场效果较好;对降水异常的年际变化也有一定的预测潜力,尤其是我国中部地区效果较好,但是模式预测的降水异常的幅值较观测相对偏弱;此外对我国西部的极端气候也有一定的预测潜力.     

集合均方根滤波同化地面自动站资料的技术研究

模式地形与观测站地形高度差异一直是地面资料同化面临的棘手问题,合理的同化方案能够将地面自动站资料有效的同化到中尺度数值模式中。本文首先采用Guo et al.(2002)的方案实现了在WRF模式中应用集合Kalman滤波方法同化地面自动站资料;然后对方案进行调整,对10 m高度风场、2 m高度位温、2 m高度露点和地表气压进行同化。通过均方根误差分析,模拟结果和同化增量分析来确定集合平方根滤波(EnSRF)同化地面自动站资料的有效性,并进行敏感性试验分析检验模式对各要素物理量的响应状况。结果表明:在EnSRF同化系统中应用Guo et al.(2002)的方案将地面自动站资料进行同化到数值模式中,能够部分改善模拟结果;地面观测资料(温度、湿度、风场、地表气压)中各物理量分别同化到数值模式都能影响18小时降水预报,但各物理量所起作用大小不同,其中对结果影响最大的是露点;使用位温、露点分别代替温度、比湿进行同化模拟效果更好,对自动站资料的同化也更加有效。     

位温、等熵位涡与锋和对流层顶的分析方法

等熵位涡分析是位涡理论的分析基础。此文的目的是介绍等熵位涡分析所必需掌握的基本概念和方法。文中从位温和位涡、对流层和平流层、锋和对流层顶的基本性质出发,讨论了锋和对流层顶在剖面图、等压面图及等位温面（即等熵面）图上的特征。文中给出了各种分析实例图形,并通过分析和对比指出：平流层的高位涡是对流层顶以上位温随高度急剧增加位温垂直梯度特别大的结果;位温垂直梯度是决定位涡分布的主要因子;等熵位涡图主要反映极地气团的活动,同时也是与极地气团密切关联的锋、急流、对流层顶的综合反映。最后提出了等熵位涡分析中需要避免的一些错误认识,特别是不能将等位温面上的流线当成轨迹的错误,并由此得出平流层空气侵入对流层下部的错误推论。     

Numerical Simulation Experiment of Land Surface Physical Processes and Local Climate Effect in Forest Underlying Surface

Based on the basic principles of atmospheric boundary layer and plant canopy micrometeorology, a forest underlying surface land surface physical process model and a two-dimensional atmospheric boundary layer numerical model are developed and numerical simulation experiments of biosphere and physiological processes of vegetation and soil volumetric water content have been done on land surface processes with local climate effect. The numerical simulation results are in good agreement with realistic observations, which can be used to obtain reasonable simulations for diurnal variations of canopy temperature, air temperature in canopy, ground surface temperature, and temporal and spatial distributions of potential temperature and vertical wind velocity as well as relative humidity and turbulence exchange coefficient over non-homogeneous underlying surfaces. It indicates that the model developed can be used to study the interaction between land surface process and atmospheric boundary layer over various underlying surfaces and can be extended to local climate studies. This work will settle a solid foundation for coupling climate models with the biosphere.     

Estimating the potential predictability of Australian surface maximum and minimum temperature

A study is made of the potential predictability of seasonal means in Australian surface maximum and minimum temperature using monthly data from December 1950 to November 2000. Because the usual assumption of stationarity cannot be applied to the observations at all stations and for all seasons, a modification to an existing methodology is proposed. Here, we show that, to a first order, monthly mean variances within a season can be modeled by a linear relationship, and inter-monthly correlations can be assumed to be stationary. The intraseasonal component of variability can then be estimated using monthly data. Removing the intraseasonal variance from the total interannual variance allows an estimate of the potential predictability to be made. Surface maximum and minimum temperature has high potential predictability over most of northern Australia in the four main seasons. However, there is high potential predictability only in some of the four seasons for the centre and south of Australia. Surface minimum temperature is generally more potentially predictable than surface maximum temperature. The spatial and temporal patterns of potential predictability are generally consistent with published patterns of hindcast skill from a statistical forecast scheme. A comparison between the intraseasonal variance of Australian surface maximum and minimum temperature estimated using the stationary variance assumption and the linear assumptions showed qualitatively and quantitatively similar patterns of distribution.     

Screening effects on road surface temperature and road slipperiness

Summary The effect of screening on road surface temperatures during day time conditions is studied. Data from the Swedish Road Weather Information System (VVIS) are used and differences in road surface temperature between sites screened from the sun and well exposed sites are analysed. Six stations in the counties of Skaraborg and Älvsborg are used. The main factors determining the shadow patterns analysed are type and orientation of the screening objects, solar elevation and cloudiness and sky-view factor. The solar elevation and cloudiness determine the potential maximum differences in road surface temperature, while shape and orientation of the screening obstacle determine the occurrence and duration of the shadow pattern. The study shows that the maximum differences in road surface temperature during the day at screened sites are strongly correlated to the daily maximum solar elevation during a given period. It is evident that, when the cloud cover increases, the temperature divergence at screened sites is progressively reduced. The maximum road surface temperature difference occurring during the day has also been shown to have a significant effect on the road surface temperature after sunset at the screened site. The road surface temperature at a screened site is kept at a low level compared with the well exposed station site till after sunset but if the sky-view factor is small the road surface temperature difference can be reduced.With 8 Figures     

基于地面资料集合均方根滤波同化方案的京津冀暴雨模拟研究

为了更加有效地同化地面自动气象站观测资料,针对模式地形与观测站地形存在的高度差异对同化效果的影响,提出了相应的解决方案。在同化系统的位温和露点观测误差中分别引入位温和露点地形代表性误差,在WRF模式中应用集合均方根滤波方法（EnSRF）同化地面自动气象站观测资料,并对2016年一次京津冀暴雨个例进行数值试验。研究结果表明,同化地面资料后,同化阶段的均方根误差、预报阶段的降水TS评分和前13个时次各要素预报均有整体改进。在观测误差中引入地形代表性误差与引入前相比,风场均方根误差得到整体改进;位温和露点的均方根误差在前期表现并不稳定,在后期有所改进;预报阶段前24 h累计降水与后24 h累计降水TS评分在整体上均有所提高。新方案能够减少高度差异对同化效果的影响。      

Post-Onset Behaviour of the Pure Katabatic Flow

An analytic improvement of the classic Prandtl model for pure katabatic flows is obtained. The one-dimensional unsteady problem employs gradually-varying eddy diffusivity K(z) fixed in time. A new solution is found for thefourth-order governing equation that couples the momentum and heat transfer in an approximate but still systematic way. The solution for wind and temperature perturbations is a generalization of the Prandtl solution allowing for: (1) Local andcumulative K(z) effects, (2) gradual evolution from the initial, discontinuous- towardthe steady-state profiles and (3) the given two-dimensional background potential temperature gradient, the surface slope and its potential temperature deficit atthe surface. The solution that is based on a relaxation equation compares adequatelywith its numerical counterpart soon after the estimated flow onset. It is a product ofthe steady-state solution with a spatio-temporal transfer function. The results can beuseful for data analyses, especially for the scale estimations of inclined stable boundarylayers and for surface flux calculations.     

土壤湿度对东亚夏季气候潜在可预报性影响的数值模拟

利用全球大气环流模式NCARCAM3进行了在给定的观测海温条件下的22a（1979—2000年）5—8月的2组集合试验。运用方差分析方法,分析了在气候态和年际变化的表层土壤湿度情况下,CAM3模式模拟的东亚夏季气候潜在可预报性及其差异。结果表明：在给定的观测海温条件下,采用气候态的土壤湿度时,CAM3模式模拟的东亚夏季气候的潜在可预报性偏低;而采用年际变化的土壤湿度时,模拟的夏季气候潜在可预报性有所提高,尤其是在中国西北地区;后者模拟的中国西北地区夏季降水和气温的潜在可预报性比前者的模拟结果提高0．1以上。其原因可能是：采用年际变化的土壤湿度时,模式可以更好地模拟出中国西北地区的地表蒸发量和湍流热通量的年际变化,进而使得模式对该地区夏季气候的预报技巧得到提高。     

Marginal sea surface temperature variation as a pre-cursor of heat waves over the Korean Peninsula

This study examines the role of the marginal sea surface temperature (SST) on heat waves over Korea. It is found that sea surface warming in the south sea of Korea/Japan (122-138°E, 24- 33°N) causes heat waves after about a week. Due to the frictional force, the positive geopotential height anomalies associated with the south sea warming induce divergent flows over the boundary layer. This divergent flow induces the southerly in Korea, which leads to a positive temperature advection. On the other hand, over the freeatmosphere, the geostrophic wind around high-pressure anomalies flows in a westerly direction over Korea during the south sea warming, which is not effective in temperature advection. Therefore, the positive temperature advection in Korea due to the south sea warming decreases with height. This reduces the vertical potential temperature gradient, which indicates a negative potential vorticity (PV) tendency over Korea. Therefore, the high-pressure anomaly over the south sea of Korea is propagated northward, which results in heat waves due to more incoming solar radiation.
