西北太平洋夏季风对中国长江流域夏季降水的影响

利用1979～2005年NCEP/NCAR的环流场再分析资料和降水资料, 通过对季风期降水、 大气环流、 水汽输送及低频振荡等方面的分析, 分别从时间和空间上分析了西北太平洋夏季风与中国长江流域夏季降水的联系。结果表明:(1) 西北太平洋夏季风与中国长江流域夏季降水存在显著的负相关关系, 在西北太平洋夏季风强盛时, 副热带高压异常偏北, 其西侧的偏南气流异常偏弱, 使得我国长江流域形成低层异常环流及水汽输送的辐散区, 从而造成长江流域夏季降水偏少; 而在西北太平洋夏季风减弱的年份, 西太平洋副高异常偏南偏西, 在长江流域以南地区形成异常偏强的偏南风水汽输送, 使得长江流域成为南、 北距平风的汇合区, 其上空对流活动异常活跃, 非常有利于长江流域的降水。 (2) 东亚局地Hadley垂直环流在强、 弱季风年也显著不同, 在强季风年里, Hadley局地环流异常偏弱, 长江流域上空出现的下沉运动距平, 使得该地区降水减弱, 而弱季风年则正好相反。 (3) 西北太平洋夏季风存在显著的气候平均的大气季节内振荡 (CISO), 在西北太平洋夏季风减弱时期, 长江流域降水同时受到源自热带西北太平洋西传CISO和源自热带印度洋东传CISO的共同影响, 可能造成了某种锁相关系, 从而造成降水偏多; 而在强季风年里长江流域只受由西太平洋西传的CISO的影响, 不容易激发降水。     

Temporal and Spatial Characteristics of Intraseasonal Oscillations in the Meridional Wind Field over the Subtropical Northern Pacific

Based on the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis I daily data from 1958 to 2002, climatic characteristics of the 30-60-day intraseasonal oscillations (ISOs) of the zonal wind (u), meridional wind (v), and geopotential height (h) over global areas and especially the ISO of v over the subtropical northern Pacific are analyzed using the space-time spectrum analysis and wavelet transform methods. The results show that the ISO of v is very different from those of u and h, with the former representing the meridional low-frequency disturbances, which are the most active in the subtropics and mid-high latitudes, but very weak in the tropics. In the subtropical Northern Hemisphere, the energies of the ISOs of u and h are both concentrated on the waves with wave number of 1 and periods of 30-60 days, while the main energy of the ISO of v is concentrated on the waves with wave numbers of 4-6 and periods of 30-60 and 70-90 days. The westward propagating energies for the 30-60-day oscillations of u, v, and h are all stronger than the eastward propagating energies in the subtropics. In addition, the ISO of v is the strongest (weakest) in summer (winter) over the subtropics of East Asia and northwestern Pacific, while the situation is reversed over the subtropical northeastern Pacific, revealing a "seesaw" of the ISO intensity with seasons over the subtropics from the northwestern to northeastern Pacific. In the subtropical northwestern Pacific, the interannual and interdecadal changes of the ISO for v at 850 hPa indicate that its activities are significantly strong during 1958 1975, while obviously weak during 1976-1990, and are the strongest during 1991-2000, and its spectral energy is obviously abnormal but ruleless during the ENSO periods. However, in the 2 7-yr bandpass filtering series, the interannual changes of the v ISO over the subtropical northwestern Pacific contain distinct ENSO signals. And in the 9-yr low-pass filtering series, the v ISO changes over the subtropical northwestern Pacific are significantly out of phase with the changes of the Ni(n)o -3.4 SST, whereas the v ISO changes in the subtropical northeastern Pacific are significantly in phase with the changes of the Ni(n)o-3.4 SST.     

Meridional Propagation of the 30- to 60-day Variability of Precipitation in the East Asian Subtropical Summer Monsoon Region: Monitoring and Prediction

The meridional propagation of the 30- to 60-day intraseasonal variability (ISV) of precipitation in the East Asian subtropical summer monsoon (EASSM) region and its monitoring and prediction are investigated in the current study. Based on a multivariate empirical orthogonal function (MV-EOF) analysis of precipitation and relative vorticity at 700?hPa in East Asia, a bivariate index referred to as the EASSM-ISV index is designed using the two leading MV-EOF modes, with the objective of real-time monitoring of the 30- to 60-day variability of precipitation in the EASSM region. It is found that this index, with its eight phases, can explain the meridional propagation of the 30- to 60-day ISV in precipitation and circulation in the EASSM region. Based on a singular value decomposition technique, a statistical forecast model is developed in which the EASSM-ISV indices from the preceding five pentads are used to predict the indices in five pentads in the future. Meanwhile, the indices are used to predict the meridional propagation of the 30- to 60-day precipitation anomaly in the EASSM region. This model thus provides a useful tool for intraseasonal prediction of precipitation during the rainy season in China.     

Potential Correlation between the Decadal East Asian Summer Monsoon Variability and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation

This study discusses the potential contribution of the Pacific decadal oscillation(PDO)to the weakening of the East Asian summer monsoon(EASM)and the evident correlation between the positive PDO and"Southern flood and Northern drought(SFND)"summer rainfall pattern over East China.The mechanism behind this contribution is also discussed.     

东亚季风区大气季节内振荡经向与纬向传播特征分析

将NECP/NCAR资料中850 hPa纬向风分量进行30～60天带通滤波, 研究东亚季风区大气季节内振荡的传播特征。分析表明, 夏季东亚季风区大气季节内振荡(ISO)的传播分为经向传播和纬向传播, 其中经向传播主要为热带地区ISO的向北传播, 纬向传播则是分别起源于印度季风区的ISO东传和起源于西太平洋海域的ISO西传。东传和西传的ISO在120°E附近汇合后增强自热带地区北传到此的ISO, 使得ISO在经向上可以继续向北传播, 其最北界可达35°N以北, 并对我国长江中下游地区夏季降水产生一定的影响。     

东亚夏季风的变化及对松嫩流域旱涝影响

根据近50年来美国NCEP/NCAR再分析资料及松嫩流域39个站1951~2000年的逐日降水资料,用相关分析、合成、对比分析及小波分析等方法分析了东亚夏季风的年际、年代际变化及对松嫩流域旱涝的影响。结果表明,东亚夏季风对位于中高纬度的松嫩流域的旱涝趋势确有影响,但东亚夏季风的年际、年代际变化很大。东亚夏季风与松嫩流域盛夏降水特点相似:都具有3~5年、10~12年的变化周期,在20世纪60年代末、80年代初都有气候突变。松嫩流域的旱涝趋势除与东亚夏季风有关外,还与中高纬度的西风带天气系统及西太平洋副热带高压密切相关。     

江淮流域夏季严重旱涝与大气季节内振荡

利用NCEP/NCAR的再分析资料和中国气象局国家气象中心提供的中国台站降水资料,分析研究了江淮流域大范围严重旱涝的20-70天大气季节内振荡(ISO)特征。结果表明,对应江淮流域严重涝年,200hPa青藏高原北部存在ISO气旋性环流,青藏高原南部存在ISO反气旋性环流;大气ISO流型在对流层中低层850hPa主要是我国长江以南、南海和西太平洋地区为大气ISO反气旋性环流,我国长江以北到日本地区的大气ISO气旋性环流,我国江淮流域位于这两个ISO涡旋西侧偏南气流和偏北气流的交汇处;旱年反之。利用向量经验正交展开方法得到,上述大气ISO环流型分别是旱涝年大气ISO流型的第一模态,并且涝年大气ISO流型的振幅强,旱年振幅弱。进一步分析揭示,严重洪涝(干旱)年分别对应对流层中上层江淮流域及其以北的中高纬度地区有强(弱)的大气ISO活动。中高纬度地区的大气ISO在严重洪涝年向南传播,与低纬度向北传播的大气ISO在江淮流域汇合;而在严重干旱年,虽然大气ISO可向北传播,但向南的传播却很不明显。     

东亚夏季风和中国东部夏季降水年代际变化的模拟

利用中国科学院大气物理研究所发展的第四代大气环流模式模拟了1970年代末东亚夏季风和相关的中国东部夏季降水年代际变化。结果表明,在给定的观测海温强迫下,模式能模拟出东亚夏季风的年代际减弱及 相关的环流场变化,包括东亚沿海的偏北风异常以及西太平洋副高的形态变化,模式还较好再现了中国东部夏季降水的雨型变化,即长江流域降水偏多,而华北和华南偏少,但位置略偏南。基于奇异值分解(SVD)的分析表明,热带海洋变暖是这次东亚夏季风的年代际减弱的主要因素,这与太平洋年代际振荡(PDO)在1970年代末期的位相转变有关。此外,模式还较好模拟了长江流域的变冷趋势,进而减弱了海陆温差,使东亚夏季风减弱。     

东亚季风涌对我国东部大尺度降水过程的影响分析

将NECP/NCAR资料中850 hPa纬向风分量进行30～60天带通滤波,用大气季节内振荡（ISO）来表征东亚夏季风涌的活动特征。研究表明,长江中下游地区和淮河流域分别出现涝年时,都伴有很显著的季风涌向北传播的特征。季风涌的北传实质就是季风中来自热带地区ISO的向北传播。季风涌北传过程中,得到来自东西两侧纬向传播的ISO补充。纬向传播的ISO在110°E～120°E附近汇合后增强自热带地区向北传的季风涌,使得季风涌在经向上可以继续向北传播,并对我国东部地区夏季大尺度降水过程产生一定的影响。纬向补充的ISO特征差异对我国东部大尺度降水位置会产生一定的差异。     

西太平洋副高活动与平流层QBO关系的研究

资料分析表明，西太平洋副高活动有准两年振荡特征，副高的相对强度和副高脊线的纬度位置都清楚地表现出这种振荡。而且分析还表明，平流层低层纬向风的垂直切变同西太平洋副高活动有关，东（西）风切变对应着脊线位置偏北的较强（弱）副高形势。平流层低层东（西）垂直切变在赤道对流层上部所引起的异常上升（下沉）运动，导致Hadley环流的异常加强（减弱）可能是平流层QBO影响西太平洋副高准两年振荡的重要机制。用IAP-GCM所作的数值模拟试验得到了同观测资料分析相一致的结果。     

大气季节内振荡对夏季西北太平洋热带气旋群发性的影响

利用中国气象局上海台风研究所整编的热带气旋最佳路径资料、 向外射出长波辐射 (OLR) 和NCEP/NCAR再分析风场资料, 研究了1991年夏季西北太平洋热带气旋的群发性特征及其与大气季节内振荡的关系。结果表明, 1991年6～9月西北太平洋地区的对流活动存在20～60天的准周期振荡, 该区域的热带气旋活动也具有这种频率的季节内变化, 即热带气旋的活动具有明显的群发性和周期性。进一步分析表明, 热带气旋易集中出现在大气季节内振荡的湿位相, 这是因为湿位相期间大气低层维持的较大尺度的低频气旋性环流为天气尺度的热带气旋的生成提供了有利的背景环流场。低频气旋中心东南侧的不稳定低空西风急流容易激发出一些小扰动, 低空的低频正涡度异常又有利于这些初始小扰动的增长, 同时, 热带气旋发生势 (genesis potential) 表现为正距平, 说明热带气旋发生发展的垂直风切变条件容易满足, 因而导致热带气旋的相继群发。     

Comparison of the Structure and Evolution of Intraseasonal Oscillations Before and After Onset of the Asian Summer Monsoon

High-resolution satellite-derived data and NCEP-NCAR reanalysis data are used to investigate intraseasonal oscillations （ISO） over the tropical Indian Ocean.A composite evolution of the ISO life cycle is constructed,including the initiation,development,and propagation of rainfall anomalies over the tropical Indian Ocean.The characteristics of ISO over the tropical Indian Ocean are profoundly different before and after the onset of the Indian summer monsoon.Positive precipitation anomalies before monsoon onset appear one phase earlier than those after monsoon onset.Before monsoon onset,precipitation anomalies associated with ISO first initiate in the western tropical Indian Ocean and then propagate eastward along the equator.After monsoon onset,convective anomalies propagate northward over the Indian summer monsoon region after an initial eastward propagation over the equatorial Indian Ocean.Surface wind convergence and air-sea interaction play critical roles in initiating each new cycle of ISO convection.     

东亚和西太平洋地区 30～60天振荡的传播及其与月平均基流的相互作用

选取1985年和1988年这两个东亚和西太平洋地区月平均流场差异很大的年份,研究30～60天低频振荡的传播及其与月平均基流的相互作用.结果表明:在这两年,东亚和西太平洋地区的30～60天低频振荡受到两支低频涡旋的影响,其中一支来源于热带东印度洋,另一支源自中太平洋.在大部分时间里,这两支低频涡旋相遇于20～30°N地区,并影响到该地区位势高度场的变化.当低频气旋(反气旋)移经西太平洋的时候,该地区的位势高度场相应地降低(升高).另一方面,该地区的30～60天振荡还有着显著的年际差异.1985年的波列活动显著,中高纬低频涡旋南移至日本南部洋面.与1985年不同的是,虽然1988年的波列活动不明显,但中高纬的低频涡旋可向南传播至南海地区.从30～60天振荡和月平均基流的动能和有效位能相互转换来看,正压过程、湿斜压过程和干斜压过程的值相当,因而上述3种过程均有可能起主导作用.但转换强度存在年际差异,1985年的值远比1988年的大.研究还表明,暖池地区的30～60天振荡向月平均基流输送能量,中高纬地区的30～60天振荡则从月平均基流获取能量.     

冬季热带太平洋海温异常模态和次年夏季我国降水异常季节内变化的关系

In present study,EOF analysis and extended singular value decomposition (ESVD) analysis are performed to explore the relationship between the winter tropical sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTAs) in the Pacific and the following summer rainfall anomalies in China.The two leading modes of winter tropical SSTAs in the Pacific are the SSTAs pattern characterized by "positive anomalies in the East and negative anomalies in the West" like the typical eastern Pacific El Nio and negative anomalies in the West and the central Pacific warming pattern characterized by "positive anomalies in the central region but negative anomalies in the East and West".The intraseasonal variations of the rainfall anomalies during the following summer in China that are associated with the eastern Pacific warming mode are characterized by positive anomalies south of the Yangtze River and negative anomalies in the Yangtze-Huai River Valley in June,and negative anomalies in South China and positive anomalies in the Yangtze River Valley and North China in July and August.In contrast,after the central Pacific warming mode,the corresponding intraseasonal variations of China’s summer rainfall are characterized by a nearly consistent pattern during the three summer months,which is positive in the South China coast and North China and negative in the Yangtze River Valley except for the positive anomalies in the Yangtze-Huai River Valley in July.These results may provide a reference for the seasonal prediction of the summer drought and flood distributions in China.     

四川地区夏季旱涝与西太平洋副热带高压的关系

利用近46年西太平洋副热带高压特征指数资料、四川地区123个测站的逐日降水资料集及NCEP\NCAR再分析资料,研究了四川地区夏季旱涝事件的空间分布特征及其与西太副高的关系。结果表明,四川盆地东西部经常出现"西旱东涝"或者"西涝东旱"的异常特征。西太平洋副热带高压的脊线、北界位置与四川盆地东(西)部区的旱涝之间存在很高正(负)相关关系。西太平洋副热带高压南北位置的异常变化对应着东亚地区大气环流的异常变化,从而影响四川盆地东部区及四川盆地西部区的旱涝变化。     

Intraseasonal Oscillation of the South China Sea Summer Monsoon and Its Influence on Regionally Persistent Heavy Rain over Southern China

The intraseasonal oscillation（ISO） in the South China Sea summer monsoon（SCSSM） and its influence on regionally persistent heavy rain（RPHR） over southern China are examined by using satelhte outgoing long wave radiation,NCEP/NCAR reanalysis,and gridded rainfall station data in China from 1981 to 2010.The most important feature of the ISO in SCSSM,contributing to the modulation of RPHR,is found to be the fluctuation in the western Pacific subtropical high（WPSH）,along with a close link to the Madden-Julian oscillation（MJO）.Southern China is divided into three regions by using rotated empirical orthogonal functions（REOFs）for intraseasonal rainfall,where the incidence rate of RPHR is closely linked to the intraseasonal variation in rainfall.It is found that SCSSM ISOs are the key systems controlling the intraseasonal variability in rainfall and can be described by the leading pair of empirical orthogonal functions（EOFs） for the 850-hPa zonal wind over the SCS and southern China.Composite analyses based on the principal components（PCs） of the EOFs indicate that the ISO process in SCSSM exhibits as the east-west oscillation of the WPSH,which is coupled with the northward-propagating MJO,creating alternating dry and wet phases over southern China with a period of 40 days.The wet phases provide stable and lasting circulation conditions that promote RPHR.However,differences in the ISO structures can be found when RPHR occurs in regions where the WPSH assumes different meridional positions.Further examination of the meridional-phase structure suggests an important role of northward-propagating ISO and regional air-sea interaction in the ISO process in SCSSM.     

亚洲-太平洋大气主模态与东亚副热带夏季风年代际变化关系

基于1950～2005年NCEP/NCAR月平均再分析资料,利用REOF方法提取了亚洲-北太平洋地区低层大气的主要模态,着重研究分析了亚洲-北太平洋地区低层大气耦合模态的年代际变化特征及其与东亚夏季风的年代际变化关系。结果表明:①夏季亚洲-北太平洋大气主要耦合变化型反映了蒙古低压和北太平洋高压之间的变化关系。它们之间的耦合变化主要表现为年代际的变化特征,在20世纪50年代到60年代中期为负位相,即蒙古低压中心值相对较低,北太平洋副高中心值相对较高,60年代中期到70年代中期耦合变化处在正负交替的过程,70年代中期以后,耦合模态为一致的正位相,即蒙古低压中心值相对较高,北太平洋副高中心值相对较低。②蒙古低压和北太平洋副热带高压之间的耦合变化与东亚副热带夏季风风场强度的年代际变化有显著的负相关关系,当蒙古低压和北太平洋副高之间的耦合变化处于负位相时期,东亚副热带季风偏强,耦合变化处于正位相时期则相反,即东亚副热带季风偏弱。     

热带西北太平洋10~30 d振荡对南海夏季风影响

采用1958—2011年NCEP/NCAR再分析资料以及ERSST海温资料,分析热带西太平洋夏季对流10~30 d振荡对南海夏季风的影响。在年际变化尺度上,热带西北太平洋夏季10~30 d振荡强度指数 (TWPI) 与南海夏季风强度有很好的正相关关系。在TWPI增强年份,海温主要呈El Ni?o分布,南海周边区域增强的异常西风产生强的正涡度切变,导致异常气旋性环流,为季风槽的增强提供了热量和水汽,从而增强南海夏季风强度。反之,在TWPI减弱年份,海温主要呈La Ni?a分布,南海夏季风强度减弱。在不同的年代际背景下,垂直切变和水汽-对流的总体变化是影响TWPI总体变化的重要因子,但不能影响南海夏季风强度的总体变化。海陆热力对比的总体变化是导致南海夏季风强度总体变化的主要影响因素。     

1998年夏季青藏高原东南部降水30~60 d低频振荡特征

根据地面观测站的逐日降水资料及NCEP/NCAR逐日再分析资料,分析了1998年夏季青藏高原东南部地区的低频降水特征,并重点讨论了30～60 d低频降水正、负位相期间相关要素场低频分量的异常分布及传播特征。结果表明:(1)1998年高原东南部降水存在10～20、20～30以及30～60 d周期的低频振荡,其中30～60 d振荡的正(负)位相基本对应着降水的盛(间歇)期。(2)在降水正(负)位相期间,高原南侧存在一个低频气旋(反气旋),而日本海上空维持着一个异常低频反气旋(气旋),受高原南侧低频气旋(反气旋)东北侧的偏南(北)气流以及日本海上空低频反气旋(气旋)西南侧的偏南(北)气流的共同影响,高原东南部为明显的低频水汽辐合(散)区。(3)在低频降水正位相期间,高原地区经孟加拉湾至中南半岛到南海均为低频热源区;负位相,热源、汇低频分量的分布与正位相基本相反。(4)1998年夏季存在从西太平洋经长江中下游西传至高原地区的30～60 d整层积分水汽通量辐合(散)和100 hPa低频辐散(合),且西传至高原东南部时基本与高原东南部30～60 d低频降水的正(负)位相对应。     

大气季节内振荡对夏季登陆广东台风的影响

基于热带气旋最佳路径资料和向外长波辐射数据,结合高斯滤波、经验正交函数分解和合成分析等方法,探讨了20~90 d周期的MJO(Madden-Julian Oscillation)和10~20 d周期的QBWO(Quasi-Biweekly Oscillation)两类大气季节内振荡对夏季(5-9月)登陆广东台风的影响。结果表明:MJO和QBWO对登陆广东台风个数、强度、位置和运动方向均有显著影响:当MJO和QBWO的对流中心(抑制中心)靠近广东沿岸时,登陆广东的台风数量多(少)、强度大(小)、登陆位置偏东(西)、登陆后东向运动的台风数量偏多(少)。在此基础上,还进一步探讨了MJO和QBWO对生成于南海和西北太平洋的这两类登陆广东台风的影响及两者对登陆广东台风的共同影响。
