皖北一次特大暴雨过程中边界层急流日变化特征及其对暴雨形成的影响分析

利用多普勒雷达风廓线产品、ERA5再分析资料和WRF模式,分析了2018年6月27日皖北一次特大暴雨过程中边界层急流的日变化特征及其对特大暴雨形成的作用。结果表明：特大暴雨发生期间存在边界层急流,急流最强达到了18 m·s^-1,强降水主要发生在急流快速增强的时段;急流前部的边界层辐合线是对流的触发因子,强降水落区位于急流核前部。急流为对流系统加强提供水汽和能量,且边界层急流和雷暴高压对峙使对流系统稳定少动,在对流系统西侧激发新的对流单体,有利于特大暴雨的发生;此次过程中天气系统的影响时间主要决定了强降水的落区,而边界层急流的日变化决定了强降水发生的时间段;边界层急流在夜间具有超地转特征,午后具有次地转特征,地转偏差和水平平流作用是导致夜间边界层急流增强的主要原因。     

The decay of the ALPEX low-level jet: Fine structure observation by aircraft data

Summary This case study describes the decay of a low-level jet in the alpine foreland as a planetary boundary layer phenomenon. Few measurements are known, which document this transition period of the boundary layer from night to day. Analysis of 1 and 20 Hz data of temperature and the three wind components of the ELECTRA aircraft mission on April 16, 1982 between 5 and 11 GMT allow an assessment of the temporal and spatial fine structure during the decay phase of the jet in the morning. Using the flight technique of horizontal and vertical zigzagging, the coupling of thermal stability, turbulence intensity, topography and behavior of the jet is shown.Vertical profiles and cross-sectional analysis of mean and turbulent parameters document three separate jet decay phases: decoupling, transition and erosion. During the first phase, the jet maximum is situated between surface and synoptic inversions, decoupling from surface friction and prohibiting momentum transport towards the free atmosphere. During the transition phase, the jet maximum increases in altitude. In the erosion phase, the jet covers the top of a developing well mixed layer. Turbulent mixing and entrainment on top of the layer are responsible for the decay of the jet. This is confirmed by calculating the decrease of the wind speed maximum from the turbulent momentum flux and the growth rate of the mixing layer by means of a mixed layer model in comparison to the measured wind speed jump and to other observations.With 7 Figures

On the Formation of an Elevated Nocturnal Inversion Layer in the Presence of a Low-Level Jet: A Case Study

We report on observed nocturnal profiles, in which an inversion layer is located at the core of a low-level jet, bounded between two well-mixed layers. High-resolution vertical profiles were collected during a field campaign in a small plain in the Israeli desert (Negev), distant 100 km from the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea. During the evening hours, the synoptic flow, superposed on the late sea breeze, forms a low-level jet characterized by a maximum wind speed of 12 m s ⁻¹ at an altitude of 150 m above the ground. The strong wind shear at the jet maximum generates downward heat fluxes that act against the nocturnal ground cooling. As a result, the typical ground-based nocturnal inversion is “elevated” towards the jet centre, hence a typical early morning thermal profile is observed a few hours after sunset. Since the jet is advected into the region, its formation does not depend on the presence of a surface nocturnal inversion layer to decouple the jet from surface friction. On the contrary, here the advected low-level jet acts to hinder the formation of such an inversion. These unusual temperature and wind profiles are expected to affect near-ground dispersion processes.     

Aircraft and ship observations of the mean structure of the marine boundary layer over the Arabian Sea during MONEX 79

Analysis of the mean wind, equivalent potential temperature and virtual potential temperature profiles observed by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Electra aircraft and obtained from dropwindsondes and ship-launched radiosondes were made in conjunction with synoptic observations to study the structure of the monsoon boundary layer over the Arabian Sea during MONEX 79. Comparison of mean profiles indicates the monsoon boundary layer to be much different from the trade wind boundary layer. Results confirm the existence of a boundary-layer jet known as East African or Somali Jet. Regions of multiple cloud layers at roughly the height of the capping inversion layer were associated with the jet. Regions in which a more well-mixed layer was observed showed a jet structure depressed in height. A free-jet surface-layer model appears to describe the mean wind structure of this jet observed during the present study and by others. An approximate balance of forces was found in the monsoon boundary layer between friction, advective acceleration, Coriolis and pressure gradient forces. Friction and advective acceleration terms were significant in the lower levels of the boundary layer. Forces in a typical trade wind boundary layer were found to be approximately one order of magnitude smaller than those observed in the monsoon boundary layer.     

基于CMA-TRAMS集合预报的“5·22”极端降水事件可预报性分析

2020年5月22日珠江三角洲地区出现了一次极端强降水天气,最大滑动小时雨量201.8 mm,3 h雨量达到351 mm。为探讨此次极端强降水的关键预报因子及可预报性,对热带中尺度集合预报系统（CMA-TRAMS（EPS））降水预报产品进行检验评估和敏感性分析,结果表明:与欧洲中期数值预报中心集合预报系统（ECMWF-EPS）相比,CMA-TRAMS（EPS）的好成员对本次过程降水强度及位置的预报结果与实况更接近,但对极端性预报仍有欠缺。好成员的预报能力来自于对低涡和（超）低空急流的演变特征以及两者强度和位置耦合的有效预测。好成员组预报珠江三角洲东部（超）低空急流南风分量较强,有利于低涡缓慢移动和气旋性辐合增强,致使降水持续时间长、效率高。而低涡自身发展又反馈于急流强度变化,好成员组较准确地刻画了增强的低涡环流反馈导致急流小范围加速的耦合特征。其他成员组预报的低涡和（超）低空急流的耦合位置偏东、偏南,辐合强度偏弱,导致降水强度或落区出现偏差。此外,强降水致使冷池形成,并增强激烈的冷、暖气团对峙（水平温度梯度达0.23—0.76℃/km）,有利于中尺度辐合线维持,加强对流后向传播并产生极端降水量。但CMA-TRAMS（EPS）两组成员在预报中尺度系统的组织性和传播特征方面均存在明显不足,限制了集合预报系统对极端降水的预报能力。      

环境场对边界层低空急流形成的影响

登陆台风边界层风廓线特征的地基雷达观测

为了分析登陆台风边界层风廓线特征,利用2004—2013年中国东南沿海新一代多普勒天气雷达收集的17个登陆台风资料,采用飓风速度体积分析方法,反演登陆台风的边界层风场结构特征。与探空观测对比表明,利用雷达径向风场可以准确地反演登陆台风的边界层风场结构,其风速误差小于2 m/s,风向误差小于5°。所有登陆台风合成的边界层风廓线显示,在近地层(100 m)以上,边界层风廓线存在类似急流的最大切向风,其高度均在1 km以上,显著高于大西洋观测到的飓风边界层急流高度(低于1 km)。陆地边界层内低层入流强度也明显大于过去海上观测,这主要是由陆地上摩擦增大引起。越靠近台风中心,边界层风廓线离散度越大,其中,径向风廓线比全风速以及切向风廓线离散度更大。将风廓线相对台风移动方向分为4个象限,分析边界层风廓线非对称特征显示,台风移动前侧入流层明显高于移动后侧。最大切向风位于台风移动左后侧,而台风右后侧没有显著的急流特征,与过去理想模拟的海陆差异导致的台风非对称分布特征一致。

Analysis of the turbulence structure of a marine low-level jet

Four aircraft measurement sets made in late May 1989 within low level jets over the Baltic Sea have been analyzed to estimate the turbulence energy budget. It is concluded that the jets had the same origin as found in an earlier study from the same general area: inertial oscillation caused by frictional decoupling when relatively warm air flows out over much colder water.In order to combine budget estimates from the four flights to form a representative average, self-preservation similarity was assumed. When the terms were made nondimensional with the proper scale combination, the largest terms in all four runs were of order one, indicating that the scaling is physically sound.Three terms were found to dominate the turbulence energy budget: shear production, dissipation and pressure transport. The latter was obtained as remainder term, since local time rate of change and advection terms were found to be of negligible magnitude. Shear production was found in a narrow layer above the jet core and in a much deeper layer below it. The pressure transport term was a gain in this layer as well, helping to keep the layer below the jet well mixed. This is in agreement with results from aircraft measurements in the low level jet and monsoon boundary layer over the Arabian Sea.It is concluded that development of the inertial jet downwind of a coastline is of fundamental importance for exchange of momentum at the sea surface in conditions when relatively warm air is advected over cold water. The jet produces turbulence that promotes mixing in the lower layers, which sharpens the shear below the jet core, so that mixing becomes even more effective. Turbulence brought down to the surface by the pressure transport term is likely to be of the inactive type, which does not produce shear stress. Through the above-mentioned process it is, however, instrumental in promoting the mechanism that eventually produces active turbulence, the carrier of momentum.

北京地区夏季边界层急流的基本特征及形成机理研究

首先指出了北京地区夏季边界层急流的基本特征, 即北京地区边界层急流一般出现在白天高温背景下或发生局地暴雨的夜间, 强度存在明显的日变化, 垂直分布具有明显的"鼻状"结构特征, 急流核高度一般为600～900 m.从中尺度扰动方程出发, 并通过天气过程演变实例, 研究了地形热力作用、局地强降水在边界层急流形成过程中的作用, 指出: (1)夏季高温背景下, 平原与山区之间温度梯度方向、强度的变化, 是造成低空风垂直切变加速或减速, 即边界层急流形成或消失的直接原因, 因此这种边界层急流的高度一般要低于山体的高度.(2)局地暴雨与边界层急流之间存在明显的正反馈现象: 由于局地暴雨同时改变了对流层中层和近地面层气温的水平分布, 这种热力强迫作用造成了边界层气流加速; 反过来, 边界层气流的加速又加强了急流前方的风速辐合--如果急流方向水平垂直于山坡, 这种迎风坡上的辐合将更强, 造成局地降水强度进一步增强.     

塔克拉玛干沙漠南缘两次极端暴雨的气流模型与水汽输送特征

Efficiency of mixing by a turbulent jet in a stably stratified fluid

Mixing in a two-layer stably stratified fluid by a turbulent jet was studied by a laboratory experiment. A non-swirling jet was discharged vertically downwards in a confined fluid system consisting initially of a top layer of fresh water and a bottom layer of salt water. In total, 16 experimental cases were considered, where the diameter and exit velocity of the jet were varied together with the density difference between the top and bottom layer. Vertical density profiles were determined from conductivity measurements. A three-layer density structure developed in all cases with an intermediate layer that grew in size with time elapsed as fresh and salt water were mixed. The mixing efficiency, defined as the percentage of the supplied kinetic jet energy that is used for increasing the potential energy of the fluid system, was related to a densimetric Froude number based on the intermediate layer depth. Overall, the calculated jet mixing efficiency displayed higher values than comparable efficiencies for destratification with air-bubble plumes.

An analytical study of diurnal wind-structure variations in the boundary layer and the low-level nocturnal jet

An analytical framework is proposed for studying variations in the diurnal wind structure in the planetary boundary layer (PBL) and the evolution of the low-level nocturnal jet. A time-dependent eddy-diffusivity coefficient corresponding to solar input is proposed, and an appropriate coordinate transformation ensures that mixing height varies continuously with ground heat-flux changes. The solution exhibits the receding character of the daytime PBL as evening approaches, thereby dividing the PBL into two regimes — the one just above the ground, representing the nocturnal boundary layer, and the region above it. It is assumed that inertial oscillations (IO) are triggered in the upper layer at about the time of sunset when the reversal in the direction of ground heat flux is felt in the upper layer. Two approaches are adopted to determine the characteristic features of IO and the evolution of the nocturnal low-level jet. The first one is based on the physical principle that release of horizontal momentum due to deviation from the geostrophic wind gives rise to the IO. The solution captures all the characteristic features of the IO, such as phase shift and decreasing amplitude of the IO with increasing height. According to this analysis the IO is triggered at a level as soon as the top of the receding boundary layer leaves that level. The solution is discontinuous with respect to the vertical coordinate. In the second approach we solve an initial-value problem to determine the solution in the upper layer, assuming that at about the time of sunset there is a rapid collapse of the daytime PBL to the steady, nocturnal boundary layer. The assumption is based on the mixing-height profiles prepared from climatological data collected at Delhi. The solution for the nocturnal boundary-layer regime is then obtained as a boundary-value problem. The solutions so obtained are continuous throughout the domain of interest and exhibit the characteristic features of an IO. The analysis leads to the conditions under which a low-level nocturnal jet is produced and provides quantitative estimates of the parameters, such as length of night, latitude, mixing height at sunset and nocturnal mixing height, that are conducive to the generation of a jet. The nocturnal wind profile produced by this approach compares well both with typical atmospheric data observed at Delhi and with output from a mesoscale numerical model. There is still some uncertainty related to the time of initiation of the IO as a function of latitude.

On the Structure and Adjustment of Inversion-Capped Neutral Atmospheric Boundary-Layer Flows: Large-Eddy Simulation Study

A range of large-eddy simulations, with differing free atmosphere stratification and zero or slightly positive surface heat flux, is investigated to improve understanding of the neutral and near-neutral, inversion-capped, horizontally homogeneous, barotropic atmospheric boundary layer with emphasis on the upper region. We find that an adjustment time of at least 16 h is needed for the simulated flow to reach a quasi-steady state. The boundary layer continues to grow, but at a slow rate that changes little after 8 h of simulation time. A common feature of the neutral simulations is the development of a super-geostrophic jet near the top of the boundary layer. The analytical wind-shear models included do not account for such a jet, and the best agreement with simulated wind shear is seen in cases with weak stratification above the boundary layer. Increasing the surface heat flux decreases the magnitude and vertical extent of the jet and leads to better agreement between analytical and simulated wind-speed profiles. Over a range of different inversion strengths and surface heat fluxes, we also find good agreement between the performed simulations and models of the equilibrium boundary-layer height, and of the budget of turbulent kinetic energy integrated across the boundary layer.     

潜热对江淮地区一次特大暴雨过程维持机制研究

2020年7月17日20时～18日20时,在淮河至长江之间出现大范围降水,短时强降水维持时间长、雨强大。此次降水发生的环流背景是：中高层多短波槽波动,伴随低层的低涡发展以及低空急流加强。强降水主要发生在低涡、切变线南侧的暖区中,降水主要分为两个阶段：第一阶段（17日20时～18日06时）强降水发生在暖式切变线和第一个低涡的暖区中,是中层潜热释放导致中层扰动形成的急流自激过程。中层位涡发展,中层扰动加强,中层扰动导致其南部急流加强,急流的自激机制形成向南、向下的上升运动波动,当水汽、能量和上升运动区配合时,形成强降水。第二阶段（18日07时～18日20时）强降水发生在第二个低涡的暖区。中高层潜热释放形成扰动,导致深厚的中低层急流发展,形成了高、中、低层一致的上升运动区。同时配合深厚低空急流带来的水汽和能量条件,形成了强降水深对流。因此整个过程的潜热释放对强降水的发展有重要作用。
