西太平洋副高与ENSO的关系及其对福建雨季降水分布的影响

用低阶大气环流谱模式就前期冬春季南海-热带东印度洋(10 oN～15 oS, 90～120 o E) 海温异常对南海夏季风的影响进行了数值试验。结果表明, 当南海-热带东印度洋海温异常偏暖时,其南北两侧大气低层出现异常气旋性环流,高层出现异常反气旋性环流,其东西两侧, 在南海-热带西太平洋大气低层出现强大的异常辐合,高层出现强大的异常辐散;在热带西印度洋大气低层为明显的辐散,高层为明显的辐合,得到了与Gill理论相一致的结论。此时大气低层赤道两侧异常气旋性环流阻挡了赤道索马里越赤道SW气流进入南海, 加强了赤道西风, 并明显减弱了澳大利亚越赤道SW气流,菲律宾以东的异常反气旋性环流加强了西太平洋副热带高压, 使其位置偏南偏西, 同时大气高层印度洋上空的异常东风加强了南亚高压, 从而导致南海夏季风强度减弱, 爆发可能推迟。在南海-热带东印度洋海温异常偏冷时,大气低层赤道两侧异常反气旋性环流减弱了赤道索马里越赤道SW气流, 加强了澳大利亚越赤道SW气流,菲律宾东北部的异常气旋性环流不利于其东侧的副热带高压发展, 同时大气高层印度洋上空的异常西风减弱南亚高压强度,有利于南海夏季风加强, 爆发可能提前。     

西太平洋副高位置变动与大气热源的关系

采用NCEP／NCAR再分析逐日资料和SCSMEX等资料，根据全型垂直涡度倾向方程，研究了1998年6月西太平洋副高位置变动与大气热源的关系。结果表明，副热带地区的非绝热加热对副高位置变化有很重要的作用。与气候平均状况相比，1998年6月副高北侧的非绝热加热垂直变化较常年偏强，而南侧较常年偏弱。这种异常的非均匀加热状况导致我国华南、江南、长江中下游地区呈现异常气旋性涡度制造，而中南半岛大部和南海地区为异常反气旋性涡度制造，使得1998年6月副高位置异常偏南。     

THE POSITION VARIATION OF THE WEST PACIFIC SUBTROPICAL HIGH AND ITS POSSIBLE MECHANISM

Using NCEP/NCAR daily reanalysis data and SCSMEX data, an investigation is carried out of the relationship between the position variation of the west Pacific subtropical high (WPSH) and the apparent heating in June 1998 based on the complete vertical vorticity equation. It is found that the non-adiabatic heating plays an important role in the position variation of WPSH. In comparison with climatic mean status, the vertical change of non-adiabatic heating is stronger in the north side of WPSH in June 1998, but weaker in the south side of WPSH. The anomalous non-uniform heating induces anomalous cyclonic vorticity in South China, areas to the south of the Yangtze and its mid-lower valleys, but anomalous anticyclonic vorticity in the Indo-China Peninsula and South China Sea areas lead to the more southward position of WPSH than the mean.     

副高及其南侧偏东气流输送在福建前汛期降水中的作用

采取相关分析、累积距平等统计方法,分析了西太平洋副高与福建前汛期降水的关系。利用NCEP-NCAR再分析资料及垂直积分的水汽输送通量等资料,对比分析了福建前汛期旱涝年份环流形势及要素场差异。分析结果显示：(1)当副高偏南偏弱时有利于福建前汛期多雨。旱年对副高具有加强作用的西太平洋海温正距平区主要位于日本南面,造成副高偏强偏北。而涝年10-25°N西太平洋海温偏高,造成副高偏南。(2)旱(涝)年华南及福建低层西南暖湿气流输送明显减弱(增强)。不过,福建上空增强的西南水汽输送主要来自副高南侧的偏东气流转向。这一点,在实际的前汛期降水预报中对于孟加拉湾西南暖湿气流的作用将是一个有意义的新认识,值得进一步探讨。     

经向风应力在热带不稳定海气相互作用中的角色

利用1951-2000年北太平洋海温和副高特征量资料，探讨夏半年副高与前期海温的关系，发现影响副高活动的海温关键区赤道东太平洋前期信息最明显，从前期秋季持续至春季都保持与夏半年各月副高强度、西伸脊点位置的高相关；ENS0事件的形成超前于副高强度的转折约半年时间；El Nino年副高持续偏强偏西，La Nina年则相反，脊线位置也有所反映，但不如强度与西伸显著。在此基础上进一步分析表明，福建雨季降水、副高强度与Nino 3区海温存在着大约相一致的年代际振荡与突变时间；雨季降水分布的异常直接受到副高活动的影响，而副高活动又明显受ENS0循环的制约，因而关注赤道东太平洋海温异常及ENS0信息对福建雨季降水分布趋势的预测旦有重要意义。     

前期太平洋海温与6～8月西太平洋副高指数的关系

使用相关分析和因子分析等方法,探讨了前期太平洋海温对主汛期副高指数的影响.相关分析发现:海温对副高各指数的影响存在季节和区域上的变化,海温变化主要影响副高的面积和强度指数,对西伸脊点的影响次之,对脊线位置的影响比对北界位置显著.从各季节海温对副高5个指数(脊线位置、北界位置、西伸脊点、面积、强度)集合整体的线性拟合能力上看,秋、冬季海温较春季效果稍好,赤道中东太平洋及北美西海岸海温对副高指数的影响较西北太平洋显著.因子分析结果发现:前期各季节海温第1公共因子主要反映了赤道中东太平洋与西太平洋海温的反相变化关系,该公共因子与主汛期副高指数相关最显著,且较好地反映海温与副高各指数的相关特点,其它公共因子与副高指数相关性均较弱.年代际变化分析表明:1970年代末以前,海温变化使La Ni?a事件易为出现、夏季副高偏弱偏东、面积偏小、位置偏北,1980年代以后则相反.     

春季赤道东太平洋海温异常对西太平洋副高的影响

首先给出西太平洋副高脊线、面积和西伸指数的定义 ,在此基础上讨论赤道东太平洋海温异常与西太平洋副高的年际变化关系 ,并进一步分析了春季赤道东太平洋海温异常对西太平洋副高季节变化的影响。结果表明 ,春季赤道东太平洋海温异常与夏季副高位置和强度的年际变化及季节变化都有密切关系。从春季到夏季 ,春季海温偏暖年副高偏南、偏强、偏西 ;偏冷年副高偏北、偏弱、偏东 ,冷年 6月副高北跳较暖年显著 ,进入秋季后南撤更为迅速     

近160年西北太平洋副高的年代际变化及其对台风年际变化的影响

研究着眼于上百年尺度西太副高及台风活动变化特征,通过统计分析的方法对百年来台风活动特性及其与西太副高的相关性进行分析。结果表明：（1） 近160 a副热带高压的范围增大、强度增强,在1980年前后,副高平均北界明显北抬,西脊点明显西伸,这种变化与经向环流（Hadley环流）和纬向环流（Walker环流）的变化相关,Hadley环流下沉支（wh）对西太副高关键区的副高强度（h）存在正影响,Walker环流上升支（ww）则存在负影响;（2） 各区域1930年后台风影响时长和年频数均增加。而1975—2020年时段西北太平洋台风年平均影响时长与1930—1975年时段相比有所下降,但发生年频率无明显变化;华南地区的年影响时长与年频数没有明显变化,但我国华东沿海地区台风的年影响平均时长与年频数均显著增加。Hadley环流下沉支、Walker环流上升支、副高强度与西北太平洋台风活动范围向西向北伸展及各区域发生频率显著相关,具有一定的指示意义。     

MOVEMENT OF THE RIDGE LINE OF SUMMER WEST PACIFIC SUBTROPICAL HIGH AND ITS POSSIBLE MECHANISM*

The analysis of the 40-year averaged daily data in this paper suggests that the vertical structure and movement of subtropical high (SH) ridge in summer evidently differ in different areas,which is close related with spatially nonuniform heating.The SH ridge over the West Pacific tilts northwards with height,while one over the Central Pacific tilts southwards.The northward movements of the Central/West Pacific SH ridges both show distinct low frequency oscillations of 10-20 days,and the movement over the East Asian monsoon area shows obvious oscillations of quasi-40-days as well.The analysis shows that the solar radiation drives the seasonal meridional movement of SH,while the spatially nonuniform heating modifies its movement speed and intensity,thus resulting in its anomalous motion.     

华南后汛期降雨量的振动和分布

对１９５９至１９８８年华南后汛期（７－９月）降雨量距平百分率的大尺度变化特征进行了分析,并与前汛期（４－６月）降雨量的情况进行了比较,同时探讨了后汛期降雨量异常的成因。结果表明,华南后汛期雨量存在明显的年际变化,且地区差异显著;后汛期降雨量的异常与热带西太平洋的海水温度、南海地区大气的对流活动及登陆我国东南沿海地区的热带气旋的频数有关。     

DISTRIBUTION OF LOW FREQUENCY WAVES IN NORTH PACIFIC AND INTRASEASONAL ABNORMALITY OF THE WESTERN PACIFIC SUBTROPICAL HIGH

By using ECMWF (2.5°×2.5°) grid data, analyzing correlation for the summer (June-August) of 1980 (the West Pacific Subtropical High (WPSH) anomalously more to the south), 1988 (the WPSH anomalously more to the north), 1981 (normal) in the west Pacific area, distribution characteristics of the low frequency waves are discussed. The relationship between distribution of the low frequency waves and intraseasonal abnormality of the west subtropical high is also analyzed. There is some discussions:(1)If the WPSH acts anomalously in summer, there is a distinct zonal wave series in the subtropical zone of the north Pacific.(2) One of the important characteristics of the WPSH abnormality is that there are low frequency geopotential high centres from east Pacific and northeast Asia, being combined in the west Pacific area.For different circulation, the combination areas are different, which define the WSPH anomalously more to the north or south.

SEASONAL PERSISTENCE OF THE WEST PACIFIC SUBTROPICAL HIGH AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SURFACE HEAT FLUX ANOMALY

This paper investigates the interannual variation of the West Pacific Subtropical High (WPSH) intensity based on the data compiled by the Chinese National Climate Center. Monthly reanalysis data from National Centers for Environmental Prediction and National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP/NCAR) are also used to study the lead-lag relationship between WPSH intensity and surface heat flux anomalies. The three major findings are as follows: First, WPSH intensity presents good seasonal persistence, especially from winter to the ensuing summer. Persistence is more significant after 1977, especially from spring to summer, and from summer to autumn; persistence of anticyclonic anomalies are significantly better than cyclonic anomalies. Second, surface heat flux tends to present opposite anomalous patterns between the strong and weak years of the WPSH intensity, which is especially valid at the latent heat flux over the ocean. Simultaneous correlations between surface heat flux and WPSH intensity in each of the seasons are marked by similar key areas. Finally, surface heat flux from the preceding winter of a strong summer WPSH is quite similar to strong spring WPSH, but the positive anomalies over the northwest Pacific and south of Japan are notably stronger. The situations in the weak years are similar except for those over the northwest Pacific: winter surface heat flux shows negative anomalies for a weak spring WPSH, but positive anomalies for a weak summer WPSH. It is suggested that surface heat flux in the previous winter plays an important role in maintaining the WPSH intensity in the ensuing spring and summer.     

COMPARISONS OF THE WEST PACIFIC SUBTROPICAL HIGH AND THE SOUTH ASIA HIGH BETWEEN NCEP/NCAR AND ECMWF REANALYSIS DATASETS

Comparisons of the west Pacific subtropical high with the South Asia High are made using the NCEP/NCAR and ECMWF 500 hPa and 100 hPa monthly boreal geopotential height fields for the period 1961 - 2000. Discrepancies are found for the time prior to 1980. The west Pacific subtropical high in the NCEP/NCAR data is less intense than in ECMWF data before 1980. The range and strength of the west Pacific subtropical high variation described by the NCEP/NCAR data are larger than those depicted by ECMWF data. The same situation appears in the 100-hPa geopotential field. These discoveries suggest that the interdecadal variation of the two systems as shown by the NCEP/NCAR data may not be true. Besides, the South Asia High center in the NCEP/NCAR data is obviously stronger than in the ECMWF data during the periods 1969, 1979 - 1991 and 1992 - 1995. Furthermore, the range is larger from 1992 to 1995.

A WAVELET PACKET ENERGY DIAGNOSIS OF SOUTH ASIAN SUMMER MONSOON INFLUENCING ON THE WEST PACIFIC SUBTROPICAL HIGH

1 INTRODUCTION An important constituent in the Asian summer monsoon system, the West Pacific subtropical high (simplified as the 揌igh) is closely related with the activity of summer monsoon via the changes in intraseasonal intensity and progression[1 - 8]. Zhang et al[5]. discuss the relationship between seasonal jumps and anomalous location of the Highs ridge and onset of low-latitude westerlies and tropical convection in summer, with the finding that the northward jump of the High is …     

EFFECTS OF ENSO ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN IOD AND SUMMER RAINFALL IN CHINA

Based on the data of 1950 – 1999 monthly global SST from Hadley Center, NCAR/NCEP reanalysis data and rainfall over 160 weather stations in China, investigation is conducted into the difference of summer rainfall in China (hereafter referred to as the “CS rainfall”) between the years with the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) occurring independently and those with IOD occurring along with ENSO so as to study the effects of El Ni?o - Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on the relationship between IOD and the CS rainfall. It is shown that CS rainfall will be more than normal in South China (centered in Hunan province) in the years of positive IOD occurring independently; the CS rainfall will be less (more) than normal in North China (Southeast China) in the years of positive IOD occurring together with ENSO. The effect of ENSO is offsetting (enhancing) the relationship between IOD and summer rainfall in Southwest China, the region joining the Yangtze River basin with the Huaihe River basin (hereafter referred to as the “Yangtze-Huaihe basin”) and North China (Southeast China). The circulation field is also examined for preliminary causes of such an influence.     

A CHARACTERISTIC CORRELATION ANALYSIS BETWEEN THE ASIA SUMMER MONSOON MEMBERS AND THE WEST PACIFIC SUBTROPICAL HIGH

In this paper, by using the pentad-mean NCAR/NCEP reanalysis data for the period of 1958-1997, some characteristic indices of describing the activity of Asian summer monsoon system members are defined and calculated. Based on the above works, a time-lag correlation analysis method is introduced for the correlation analysis between the Asian summer monsoon system and the west Pacific subtropical high (WPSH) area index, and some meaningful interaction processes and characteristic phenomena between them are revealed and discussed accordingly. It is shown that there exists some remarkable time-lag correlations in various degree between the Asian summer monsoon system members and the WPSH area index, and they interact and feedback with each other, which consists of the whole Asian summer monsoon system.
