太平洋SSTA对中国东部夏季降水的影响Ⅰ--观测分析

采用旋转经验正交函数（REOF）方法对1901～2000年中国东部43个站夏季降水资料进行分析,得到：华南、西南地区和长江中下游地区及华北北部、东北西南部地区是中国东部夏季降水异常三个最主要的区域,对三个主要模态对应的时间系数序列与太平洋SSTA作相关分析,结果表明影响东部夏季降水的关键海区是：前期冬季西北太平洋黑潮海区、前期春季赤道中东太平洋和同期北太平洋中纬中太平洋海区;并对关键海区SSTA与东部120个站夏季降水作SVD分析,进一步证实：这三个关键海区SSTA与东部夏季降水有显著的耦合相关关系。另外,对三个主要降水异常区的夏季降水异常的极端年份500hPa高度场进行合成分析,其结果为数值模拟分析提供依据。     

东部夏季降水变化及其与北太平洋SSTA的联系

采用REOF分析和小波变换方法对1900-1999年中国东部39站夏季降水资料进行分析，结果表明：华南、西南地区和长江中下游地区及华北、东北西南部地区是中国东部夏季降水异常3个最主要的区域，都存在显著的年际变化和年代际变化。分析了这3个区域夏季降水的年际、年代变化与北太平洋冬季海表温度异常的关系。     

中国夏季降水与太平洋SSTA年代际变化关系的初步研究

利用1951-2001年逐月NCEP再分析高度场、风场资料，COADS海表温度资料及中国147个台站逐月降水资料，运用SVD分析、SVD与回归分析相结合等方法，研究了太平洋SSTA与中国夏季降水年代际变化的相互关系，发现热带西太平洋是影响中国华南降水年代际变化的关键区，1950年代-1970年代后期，该海域SSTA为正，对应中国长江以南地区的夏季降水偏多，而长江以北则偏少；1970年代以后反之；影响中国长江中下游地区及其两侧降水年代际变化的关键区在中纬中部北太平洋，1970年代后期-1990年代前期，该海域SSTA为负，对应长江中下游夏季降水偏多，其两侧降水偏少；影响中国东北降水年代际变化的关键区是低纬中太平洋，1970年代-1980年代前期，低纬中太平洋SSTA为负，与之对应，中国东北夏季降水偏少；1950年代～1960年代中期、1990年代前、中期则反之。进一步对太平洋SSTA年代际变化影响中国夏季降水年代际变化的可能机制作了初步的研究。     

西北区东部夏季极端降水事件同太平洋SSTA的遥相关

利用近50年月平均NCEP再分析高度场、风场、NOAA重构海表温度以及中国西北区东部38个台站逐日降水资料,运用SVD及合成分析等方法,研究了太平洋SSTA对我国西北区东部夏季极端降水事件的可能影响。结果表明,冬季太平洋海表温度对后期西北区东部夏季极端降水事件的影响最显著,并且赤道中东太平洋是影响西北区东部夏季极端降水事件的关键区,当赤道中东太平洋海表温度发生异常时,首先引起纬向和经向垂直环流圈发生异常,进而强迫大气环流发生调整,先后通过PNA和WP遥相关使得西太平洋副热带高压发生异常,最终使得西北区东部夏季极端降水事件发生异常。     

春季印度洋SSTA对夏季中国西北东部极端降水事件的影响研究

基于近47年来NCAR/NCEP再分析月平均高度场、风场、地面气压,比湿以及NOAA重构的印度洋海表温度资料和中国西北东部97个气象台站逐日降水资料,首先利用百分位法定义了极端降水事件的阈值,运用SVD及合成分析等方法,研究了前期秋季、冬季、春季及同期夏季印度洋海表温度同夏季中国西北东部极端降水事件的关系,结果表明前期春季印度洋海温异常对预测夏季中国西北东部极端降水事件的变化特征具有较明确的指示意义,关键区位于赤道印度洋地区。如果春季赤道印度洋海温异常偏暖,从同期春季到后期夏季,100～110 °E平均经圈环流在赤道附近表现为异常上升气流,对应30 °N附近在对流层中、上层表现为异常的下沉气流,同时来自印度洋的西南季风异常偏弱,使得后期夏季由于没有异常的水汽输送到我国西北东部地区,从而极端降水事件偏少,而偏冷年份正好相反。另外在春季赤道印度洋海温异常暖年,后期夏季南亚高压偏强,且呈西部型;而在异常冷年,南亚高压偏弱,且呈东部型,这可能是引起夏季中国西北东部极端降水事件变化的另一原因。     

北太平洋中纬海温异常对中国东部夏季降水影响的可能途径

用 8 5 0 h Pau场分解为正、斜分量的方法研究了前期北太平洋中纬 ( 42 .5～5 2 .5°N,1 70°E～ 1 70°W)海温关键区海温异常对其后期中国东部夏季降水影响的可能途径。结果表明 ,前期海温关键区海温首先对其同期 85 0 h Pau场斜压波列施加影响 ,该斜压波列又对其后期斜压波列施加影响 ,最后此斜压波列影响中国东部夏季降水异常。     

我国夏季降水对太平洋海温年代际变化响应的数值试验

利用近５０年观测资料对我国夏季降水和太平洋海温进行诊断分析,发现两者都具有年代际变化特征。在此基础上,利用Ｌ９Ｒ１５大气环流模式,对太平洋海温暖背景异常情况下的夏季降水进行敏感性数值试验,其结果与统计事实基本一致。     

夏季黑潮区域SSTA及其与中国夏季降水的联系

采用海温、降水、OLR和NCEP／NCAR40a再分析资料，利用REOF方法，研究了夏季北半球海温异常(SSTA)的变化特征，结果显示：第4个REOF空间型是黑潮海温异常的典型形态。相关、合成分析表明，夏季黑潮海温正异常年时，长江流域降水偏多，洞庭湖流域显著偏多；负异常年时则反之。     

RSM模式对中国东部夏季降水模拟能力的检验

本文利用美国国家环境预报中心NCEP(National Centers for Environmental Prediction)区域谱模式RSM(Regional Spectral Model)对中国东部地区夏季降水进行了为期20 a(1984—2003年)、水平分辨率为30 km的高精度模拟,并对模拟所得降水的气候态、年际变率、逐日变化以及极端事件进行了检验,和对造成降水偏差的大气环流特征进行了分析。结果表明RSM模拟所得夏季降水的空间分布、时间变率,以及降水量值都与实况相近,也基本可以再现夏季降水的年际变率分布情况,但是模拟所得的雨带存在偏南且偏弱的特点。对于逐日降水特征,RSM模拟所得季节内逐日降水变化与实况的走势基本一致,再现了夏季降水主要集中于东部和南部的特点,模拟出了江淮地区6月日降水区随时间北抬的特点。对于极端事件,模拟和实测的夏季不同雨强的天数分布对比表明模拟与实况基本接近,但是模拟的降水日大值中心较实况偏北;极端降水指数的计算结果也表明RSM模拟的极端降水情况与实况基本一致。综上,RSM模式对中国东部地区降水有着较好的模拟能力,可以用于中国东部地区的夏季降水气候特征研究。     

中国东部夏季降水型的年代际变化及其与北太平洋海温的关系

采用中国160站降水资料、NOAA ERSST海温资料以及ERA－40大气再分析资料, 分析了中国东部夏季降水型的年代际变化特征及其与北太平洋海温的可能联系。结果表明: 中国东部夏季降水型在近50年中经历了两次年代际变化, 第1次发生在20世纪70年代中后期, 北太平洋中纬度地区冬季海温由正距平向负距平转变, 太平洋年代际振荡(PDO, Pacific decadal oscillation) 由负位相向正位相转变, 通过影响东亚夏季风环流, 使东亚夏季风减弱, 中国东部夏季降水从北到南呈现出“＋－＋” 转变为“－＋－”的三极分布形态, 这次年代际变化体现了同一模态正负位相的转变; 第2次发生在20世纪80年代末90年代初, 北太平洋海温转变为日本以南西北太平洋的正距平分布, 同时菲律宾群岛附近海温偏暖, 西太平洋副热带高压偏南偏西, 使得中国东部夏季降水由北至南转变成“－＋”的偶极分布形态, 这次年代际变化体现了一种模态向另一种模态的转变。     

EFFECTS OF PACIFIC SSTA ON SUMMER PRECIPITATION OVER EASTERN CHINA, PART Ⅱ: NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS

Based on an observational analysis, seven numerical experiments are designed to study the impacts of Pacific SSTA on summer precipitation over eastem China and relevant physical mechanism by NCAR CCM3. The numerical simulation results show that preceding winter SSTA in the Kuroshio region leads to summer precipitation anomaly over the Yangtze River valleys by modifying atmospheric general circulation over eastern Asia and middle-high latitude. West Pacific subtropical high is notably affected by preceding spring SSTA over the middle and east of Equator Pacific; SSTA of the central region of middle latitude in the corresponding period causes the summer rainfall anomaly over eastern China so as to trigger the atmospheric Eurasia-Pacific teleconnection pattern.

EFFECTS OF PACIFIC SSTA ON SUMMER PRECIPITATION OVER EASTERN CHINA, PART I: OBSERVATIONAL ANALYSIS

With the methods of REOF (Rotated Empirical Orthogonal Function), the summer precipitation from 43 stations over eastern China for the 1901 – 2000 period was examined. The results show that South China and Southwest China, the middle and lower reaches of Changjiang River, North China and the southwestern of Northeast China are the three main areas of summer rainfall anomaly. Furthermore, correlation analysis is used in three time series of three mostly summer rainfall modes and four seasonal Pacific SSTA (Sea Surface Temperature Anomaly), and the results suggest that the Pacific SSTA which notably causes the summer rainfall anomaly over eastern China are the SSTA of the preceding winter over Kuroshio region of Northwest Pacific, SSTA of the preceding spring in the eastern and central equatorial Pacific, and SSTA of the current summer in the central region of middle latitude. The relationship between summer precipitation over eastern China and SSTA of Pacific key regions was further verified by SVD (Singular Value Decomposition) analysis. The composite analysis was used to analyze the features of atmospheric general circulation in the years of positive and negative precipitation anomaly. Its results were used to serve as the base of numerical simulation analysis.

POSSIBLE RELATIONSHIPS AMONG SOUTH CHINA SEA SSTA, SOIL MOISTURE ANOMALIES IN SOUTHWEST CHINA AND SUMMER PRECIPITATION IN EASTERN CHINA

By using 1958-2001 NOAA extended reconstructed sea surface temperature(SST) data, ERA40 reanalysis soil moisture data and precipitation data of 444 stations in China(east of 100°E), the possible relationships among South China Sea(SCS) SST anomaly(SSTA), soil moisture anomalies(SMA) and summer precipitation in eastern China as well as their possible physical processes are investigated. Results show that the SSTA of SCS bears an evidently negative correlation with spring soil moisture in the east part of Southwest China. More(less) precipitation happens in the Yangtze River basin and less(more) in the Southeast China in summer when the SSTA of SCS is higher(lower) than normal and the soil in the east part of Southwest China is dry(wet) in spring. Further analysis shows that when the SSTA of SCS is high(low), the southwesterly wind at low level is weak(strong), decreasing(increasing) the water vapor transport in South China, resulting in reduced(increased) spring precipitation in the east part of Southwest China and more(less) soil moisture in spring. Through the evaporation feedback mechanism, the dry(wet) soil makes the surface temperature higher(lower) in summer, causing the westward extension(eastward retreat) of the West Pacific Subtropical High, eventually leading to the summer precipitation anomalies.
