利用一个三维时变双参数动力电耦合模式对决定雷暴云空间电荷结构的三个初始场：反转温度、中心最大扰动位温和扰动区域进行模拟对比研究。结果表明,选取不同的参数值,雷暴云电结构有很大差异,从而解释了在不同地区、季节、强度的雷暴云中所观测到得不同的空间电荷结构的原因。     

重庆地区一次雷暴云电过程及其对初始云滴数浓度响应的数值模拟

采用耦合了Saunders和Takahashi两种非感应起电参数化方案的RAMS(Regional Atmospheric Modeling System)模式,对重庆地区一次雷暴过程进行模拟,对比分析了两种起电参数化方案下,电荷开始分离时和雷暴云发展到成熟阶段时的水成物粒子的分布、所带电荷密度以及雷暴云的电荷结构分布。模拟结果表明,在Saunders起电参数化方案下,雷暴云的电荷结构从起电到放电都呈现偶极性特征,而在Takahashi参数化方案下,雷暴云的电荷结构则由反偶极性发展成正偶极性。为研究CCN(cloud condensation nuclei)对雷暴云的影响,本文进行了两组敏感性试验,随着云滴初始数浓度增加,雷暴云的电荷结构没有发生极性翻转,但雷暴云中电荷量增加,电荷分布区域变大,有利于闪电发生。在Saunders起电参数化方案下,当云滴初始数浓度大于2 000 cm-3时,电荷量变小。通过分析微物理量场和微物理过程发现,随着云滴初始数浓度增加,冰相粒子质量混合比增加,在Saunders起电参数化方案下,当云滴初始数浓度大于2 000 cm-3时,霰粒子质量混合比减小。验证了CCN的变化能影响云的微物理过程,从而影响雷暴云的电荷分布以及闪电的发生,尤其是冰相物质的变化显著影响了雷暴云的起电过程。     

集合预报最优ETKF初始扰动方法设计及其在暴雨中的应用

为改进集合转换卡尔曼滤波方法(Ensemble Transform Kalman Filter,ETKF)在初始扰动中离散度偏小的问题,考虑引入物理不确定性。使用初始时刻离散度检验两种ETKF初始扰动方案改进的程度,通过动力和水汽条件分析探求改进机制。利用WRF模式构建更新预报系统,选取2014年5月一次暴雨个例进行集合降水预报试验,通过ETKF方法设计两种不同的初始扰动方案。结果表明:在分析循环中引入多物理扰动的初始扰动方案(multi)相比单一物理过程的初始扰动方案(mono)在初始时刻离散度和模拟动力水汽条件以及降水评分上均有较大改进。初始扰动中multi的离散度相比mono整体更优,显然添加了多物理扰动方案的试验对结果有改进作用;在对两种方案的机理分析中,multi对于降水位置的明显改善主要取决于散度及水汽通量散度模拟能力的提高;在离散度分析中,multi方案在强对流区域的改进效果比在整个区域中的更好,而对各变量的离散度和均方根误差之比相当,说明集合预报系统的合理性;对各量级预报结果评分显示,multi方案均呈现较好表现能力。     

基于BDA扰动法的台风路径集合预报试验研究

提出一种新的方法（BDA扰动方法）对台风路径进行集合预报。BDA扰动方法是基于BDA同化方案。通过扰动台风的中心位置和台风强度得到一系列模型台风，将之分别同化到同一环境场中得到一系列扰动初始场，从而对台风进行集合预报的方法。本文选取四个台风个例进行数值试验，将直接用BDA方案同化初始场的模拟结果与采用BDA扰动方法模拟的结果进行比较，发现：利用BDA扰动方法对台风路径进行集合预报能进一步提高路径预报精度；同时发现：对于BDA扰动方法，若与初始定位扰动相结合，5hPa的台风强度扰动幅度可能比10hPa的更适宜。     

GRAPES全球集合预报的集合卡尔曼变换初始扰动方案初步研究

初始扰动方案是集合预报研究的核心问题之一.文中根据最新提出的基于集合卡尔曼变换(ETKF)理论的集合初始扰动方案,利用模拟观测系统及其调整的观测误差与放大因子的方案,研究发展了针对中国GRAPES全球预报系统的集合初始扰动方案,建立了GRAPES全球集合预报系统.利用14个集合成员进行了近两个月的集合预报试验,重点研究了初始扰动的结构特征、扰动振幅以及扰动增长特征,分析了集合扰动初始场的质量与性能.初步试验结果表明,基于ETKF初始扰动方案的GRAPES全球集合初始扰动能够较好地反映分析误差方差的主要模态结构和扰动振幅,并具有比较合理的集合离散度.分析误差方差能够准确地反应模拟观测资料的空间分布特征.初始扰动方差近似等于预报误差方差,并对全球观测系统的空间变化具有准确的响应.集合扰动具有合适的增长率,在96 h的预报时效内可以有效地保持适当的集合离散度.52 d集合预报统计分析显示,北半球集合平均的预报质量评分相对于控制预报具有较明显的优势,副热带高压特征线的个例预报也表明GRAPES全球集合预报在短期预报时效内具有很好的预报效果.基于ETKF初始扰动方案的GRAPES全球集合预报系统显示出良好的发展前景和应用潜力.     

陆面过程参数化对太湖地区雷暴过程模拟的影响

以2010年8月发生在太湖地区的一次雷暴过程为例,利用WRF模式进行48 h的短期天气模拟,分析两个陆面参数化方案(Noah方案和RUC方案)对雷暴过程模拟的影响。对比模式结果与实况降水以及太湖地区两个站点的近地面要素表明:雷暴过程对陆面参数化方案的选取较为敏感,不同陆面参数化方案可影响雷暴发生的时间、地点及强度,两种方案的降水中心值差达40 mm以上,其中Noah方案所模拟的降水与实况更为接近。通过对两个方案模拟的物理量场的对比分析发现,RUC方案中对流发展滞后于Noah方案2 h;这表明陆面过程对雷暴等中尺度对流过程有显著的反馈作用,不同陆面参数化方案的使用影响雷暴发生的动力和热力作用,并改变雷暴的时空分布特征。陆面过程通过改变地面热通量输送影响边界层结构,使得水平和垂直方向上的风和温度等发生变化并产生辐合辐散,进而影响对流的启动时间和对流发展强度。由于对不同植被的参数化处理的差异,Noah方案对下垫面特征的描述能力优于RUC方案,尤其是对城市下垫面的处理,这也使得之后该方案模拟的雷暴发生时间更加接近于实况且雷暴过程更加强烈。     

基于高分辨率中尺度气象模式的实际雷暴过程的数值模拟试验

雷暴数值预报的实际应用离我们还有多远？本文对此进行了尝试, 即利用一个复杂的高分辨率中尺度气象模式驱动一个三维雷电模式, 在只采用常规气象观测资料的条件下, 对北京的一次实际雷暴过程进行模拟试验, 分析了雷暴云的宏观动力、 微物理过程及电结构的时空变化特征以及其可能的相互作用机制。结果表明: 利用高分辨中尺度模式预报出的三维气象场作为雷电模式的初始场, 完全可以不需添加虚假的扰动来触发雷暴云的发展, 高分辨中尺度模式的预报场本身所包含的水平非均匀、 垂直强非静力性及较强的对流不稳定信息足够促发雷暴云的剧烈发展; 用较为真实的三维气象场作为初始场模拟产生的电场分布特征与云微物理分布特征及环境气象要素的分布结构非常协调, 得到的雷暴云的电荷结构特征以及电结构随时间的演变特征更为复杂, 更真实的体现了实际雷暴云本身发展的复杂性, 同时, 模式能够模拟出合理的云闪及正负云地闪, 且模拟的闪电频数随时间发展演变趋势基本与观测实况基本吻合, 从而表现了对雷电天气潜在的预报能力。本次模拟的北京雷暴云在发展过程中, 水物质霰的最大质量比、 最大正电场强度及闪电频数随模拟时间的演变发展趋势非常相似。     

青海和北京地区不同个例雷暴云电荷结构特征差异的数值模拟分析

利用加入起电、放电参数化方案的数值模式[Weather Research and Forecasting Model(Version3.7.1),WRF3.7.1＿ELEC],分别对发生在青藏高原东北部青海大通地区和华北地区北京西部山区的两次雷暴过程进行模拟研究,对比分析两个不同地区雷暴个例的电荷结构特征差异及原因。结果表明：对发生在两个地区的雷暴个例,模式均能够较好地模拟出雷暴的移动方向、回波强度以及形状的变化特征。对比两个个例不同发展阶段雷暴云电荷结构可以看出,除了在发展旺盛阶段两个地区的雷暴云电荷结构自下而上均为“+-+-”的四层结构,在发展初始阶段和消亡阶段,两个地区雷暴云电荷结构明显不同。造成两个雷暴个例在雷暴云初始和消亡阶段电荷分布差异的主要原因是云中霰粒子混合比和有效液态水含量的差异。     

南京地区城市下垫面特征对雷暴过程影响的数值模拟

本文选取2011年7月23日发生在南京的一次雷暴个例, 利用中尺度数值模式WRF(Weather Research and Forecasting model),耦合Noah/UCM,并采用NCEP FNL 1°×1°每日4次的全球分析场资料作为初始场及南京自动站观测数据等,对南京地区城市下垫面特征对雷暴过程的影响进行了数值模拟。结果表明:模拟的雷暴发生发展过程与该地区城市下垫面有着密切的联系。首先,雷暴发生前期,南京地区热岛效应明显。其次,城市上空的感热通量较高,结合城郊下垫面热力差异造成的城市热岛环流,加强了城区的辐合上升,为雷暴的形成提供了重要的抬升作用。城市下垫面扩张,使其上空边界层高度相应提升,垂直混合高度增加,有助于对流云的发展。此外,城市下垫面加强了大气低层的扰动位温,为雷暴提供了不稳定的层结条件。最后,城市地表较大的粗糙度使雷暴降水在城区低层的迎风面一侧明显增强。     

分析约束的集合预报初始扰动构造方案的研究

集合预报初始扰动准确描述大气运动的不确定性是集合预报研究的核心问题,合理的扰动结构及振幅应能更好地反映大气运动状态的预报误差特征。随着集合扰动和资料同化的深入研究和理解,集合初始扰动方案与集合同化紧密结合协同发展。本文基于中国气象局数值预报中心自主研发的GRAPES-REPS集合预报系统,针对其初始扰动的结构和振幅与预报误差一致性较差的不合理问题,结合不同空间尺度天气系统预报误差特征,将表征预报不确定性的集合扰动与表达观测和预报不确定性的资料同化分析增量有效结合,研究提出了一种改善集合初始扰动质量的分析约束方案,以实现对集合初始扰动质量进一步改善。分析约束方案充分考虑资料同化分析增量的空间结构和量值特征,分别构造了单一定常和具有一定适应能力的两种分析约束函数,实现对初始扰动中不合理信息的识别和约束调整。试验结果表明,具有适应能力的分析约束方案对集合初始扰动具有良好的调整能力,约束后集合扰动的结构和振幅与中小尺度天气系统的预报误差更为吻合,其集合离散度和扰动能量的空间结构与演变特征更加趋于合理。分析约束方案可有效改善集合初始扰动质量及其预报性能。     

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF VARIOUS DATA OF AIR–SEA TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE AND ITS VARIATION ACROSS SOUTH CHINA SEA IN THE PAST 35 YEARS

Using the International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set(ICOADS) and ERA-Interim data, spatial distributions of air-sea temperature difference(ASTD) in the South China Sea(SCS) for the past 35 years are compared,and variations of spatial and temporal distributions of ASTD in this region are addressed using empirical orthogonal function decomposition and wavelet analysis methods. The results indicate that both ICOADS and ERA-Interim data can reflect actual distribution characteristics of ASTD in the SCS, but values of ASTD from the ERA-Interim data are smaller than those of the ICOADS data in the same region. In addition, the ASTD characteristics from the ERA-Interim data are not obvious inshore. A seesaw-type, north-south distribution of ASTD is dominant in the SCS; i.e., a positive peak in the south is associated with a negative peak in the north in November, and a negative peak in the south is accompanied by a positive peak in the north during April and May. Interannual ASTD variations in summer or autumn are decreasing. There is a seesaw-type distribution of ASTD between Beibu Bay and most of the SCS in summer, and the center of large values is in the Nansha Islands area in autumn. The ASTD in the SCS has a strong quasi-3a oscillation period in all seasons, and a quasi-11 a period in winter and spring. The ASTD is positively correlated with the Nio3.4 index in summer and autumn but negatively correlated in spring and winter.     

Could the Recent Taal Volcano Eruption Trigger an El Ni?o and Lead to Eurasian Warming?

正The Taal Volcano in Luzon is one of the most active and dangerous volcanoes of the Philippines. A recent eruption occurred on 12 January 2020(Fig. 1a), and this volcano is still active with the occurrence of volcanic earthquakes. The eruption has become a deep concern worldwide, not only for its damage on local society, but also for potential hazardous consequences on the Earth's climate and environment.     

VARIABILITY OF INTER-ANNUAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INDIAN OCEAN DIPOLE AND HUAXI REGION’S AUTUMN PRECIPITATION

The moving-window correlation analysis was applied to investigate the relationship between autumn Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) events and the synchronous autumn precipitation in Huaxi region, based on the daily precipitation, sea surface temperature (SST) and atmospheric circulation data from 1960 to 2012. The correlation curves of IOD and the early modulation of Huaxi region’s autumn precipitation indicated a mutational site appeared in the 1970s. During 1960 to 1979, when the IOD was in positive phase in autumn, the circulations changed from a “W” shape to an ”M” shape at 500 hPa in Asia middle-high latitude region. Cold flux got into the Sichuan province with Northwest flow, the positive anomaly of the water vapor flux transported from Western Pacific to Huaxi region strengthened, caused precipitation increase in east Huaxi region. During 1980 to 1999, when the IOD in autumn was positive phase, the atmospheric circulation presented a “W” shape at 500 hPa, the positive anomaly of the water vapor flux transported from Bay of Bengal to Huaxi region strengthened, caused precipitation ascend in west Huaxi region. In summary, the Indian Ocean changed from cold phase to warm phase since the 1970s, caused the instability of the inter-annual relationship between the IOD and the autumn rainfall in Huaxi region.     

IMPACT OF ATMOSPHERIC LOW-FREQUENCY OSCILLATION ON THE IMMIGRATION OF NILAPARVATA LUGENS(STL) IN HUNAN AND JIANGXI PROVINCES

Various features of the atmospheric environment affect the number of migratory insects, besides their initial population. However, little is known about the impact of atmospheric low-frequency oscillation(10 to 90 days) on insect migration. A case study was conducted to ascertain the influence of low-frequency atmospheric oscillation on the immigration of brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens(Stl), in Hunan and Jiangxi provinces. The results showed the following:(1) The number of immigrating N. lugens from April to June of 2007 through 2016 mainly exhibited a periodic oscillation of 10 to 20 days.(2) The 10-20 d low-frequency number of immigrating N. lugens was significantly correlated with a low-frequency wind field and a geopotential height field at 850 h Pa.(3) During the peak phase of immigration, southwest or south winds served as a driving force and carried N. lugens populations northward, and when in the back of the trough and the front of the ridge, the downward airflow created a favorable condition for N. lugens to land in the study area. In conclusion, the northward migration of N. lugens was influenced by a low-frequency atmospheric circulation based on the analysis of dynamics. This study was the first research connecting atmospheric low-frequency oscillation to insect migration.     

A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ATMOSPHERIC AND OCEANIC CONDITIONS BEFORE THE OCCURRENCE OF TWO TYPES OF EL NIO EVENTS

The atmospheric and oceanic conditions before the onset of EP El Ni?o and CP El Ni?o in nearly 30 years are compared and analyzed by using 850 hPa wind, 20℃ isotherm depth, sea surface temperature and the Wheeler and Hendon index. The results are as follows: In the western equatorial Pacific, the occurrence of the anomalously strong westerly winds of the EP El Ni?o is earlier than that of the CP El Ni?o. Its intensity is far stronger than that of the CP El Ni?o. Two months before the El Ni?o, the anomaly westerly winds of the EP El Ni?o have extended to the eastern Pacific region, while the westerly wind anomaly of the CP El Ni?o can only extend to the west of the dateline three months before the El Ni?o and later stay there. Unlike the EP El Ni?o, the CP El Ni?o is always associated with easterly wind anomaly in the eastern equatorial Pacific before its onset. The thermocline depth anomaly of the EP El Ni?o can significantly move eastward and deepen. In addition, we also find that the evolution of thermocline is ahead of the development of the sea surface temperature for the EP El Ni?o. The strong MJO activity of the EP El Ni?o in the western and central Pacific is earlier than that of the CP El Ni?o. Measured by the standard deviation of the zonal wind square, the intensity of MJO activity of the EP El Ni?o is significantly greater than that of the CP El Ni?o before the onset of El Ni?o.
