澳大利亚高压的年际变化及其对应的亚澳季风

利用NCEP/NCAR再分析资料,分析了 1948—2002年澳大利亚高压(简称澳高,下同)的年际变化及其对亚澳季风环流系统的影响。结果显示,澳高存在明显的年际变化,当澳高偏强时,亚澳季风环流系统其他各成员 (100~160°E高、低层越赤道气流,近赤道ITCZ,西太平洋副热带高压,梅雨锋,南亚高压,近赤道东风急流,季风经圈环流,Hadley环流等)也随之得到加强,从而导致整个亚澳季风环流系统的增强。     

印度季风的年际变化与高原夏季旱涝

根据NCEP／NCAR再分析资料和海表面温度距平资料,分析了西藏高原夏季降水5个多、少雨年春、夏季印度洋850hPa、200hPa合成风场和合成海温场,发现多、少雨年前期与同期印度洋高、低空风场和海温场均存在明显差异,主要表现为高原夏季降水偏多(少)年印度夏季风偏强(弱),在850hPa合成风场上印度半岛维持西(东)风距平,西印度洋—东非沿岸为南(北)风距平,夏季阿拉伯海区和孟加拉湾出现反气旋(气旋)距平环流;200hPa合成风场上印度半岛维持东(西)风距平,南亚高压偏强(弱),索马里沿岸为南(北)风距平。印度夏季风异常与夏季印度洋海温距平的纬向分布型有密切联系。当夏季海温场出现西冷(暖)东暖(冷)的分布型时,季风偏强(弱),高原降水普遍偏多(少)。相关分析指出,索马里赤道海区的风场异常与高原夏季降水的关系最为密切,在此基础上我们定义了一个索马里急流越赤道气流指数,用它识别高原夏季旱涝的能力较之目前普遍使用的印度季风指数有了明显的提高。     

索马里越赤道气流对越南降水变化的影响

基于1979-2002年CMAP全球降水资料和NCEP／NCAR再分析资料，研究了越南降水的季节和年际变化特征及其受索马里越赤道气流的影响。结果表明，越南南北方降水具有不同的季节和年际变化特征，南方降水主要集中在夏季和秋季，且夏、秋季降水的变化呈反位相关系，而北方降水则集中在夏季。夏季索马里气流与同期及后期越南南方降水有很好的相关性，同期为显著的正相关，后期为显著的负相关。相对而言，索马里越赤道气流和越南北方降水的关系不显著。另外，夏季赤道印度洋西风与越南夏秋季降水的相关与索马里气流类似，表明索马里越赤道气流可能是通过改变纬向水汽输送来影响越南南方降水。     

广东沿海强东北季风的气候统计特征

通过对1988－1997年冷空气造成的广东沿海强东北季风过程的气候统计分析，发现广东的强东北季风有明显的月分布规律，而年际变化有逐渐减少的趋势；强东北季风与地面因子相关程度较高，而与850hPa要素相关性较低；同时发现地面冷高压中心位置聚合度较高，但不同月份、不同时次，其中心位置有明显差异。     

1950—2009年夏季菲律宾低空越赤道气流的变化特征

利用1950—2009年NECP/NCAR的月平均经向风再分析资料,根据夏季(6—8月)菲律宾低空越赤道气流的特征,定义了该支气流的强度指数IS和位置偏移指数IL,并根据这两个指数分析了菲律宾越赤道气流的时间变化特征及对应的环流特征,以及其与亚洲夏季降水的关系。结果表明,IS主要呈现弱、强、弱、强的年代际变化特征,IL主要呈现振荡、稳定、径直转向的年代际变化特征。IS与由低层澳大利亚高压北侧冷空气活跃和西太平洋副热带高压减弱所造成的经向气压梯度的变化有关,IL与澳大利亚地区和赤道低槽区高、低层的南北气压梯度有关。IS与印度尼西亚、孟加拉湾南部、热带西太平洋和澳大利亚东部的降水关系密切,IL与孟加拉湾和中国南海南部的降水关系密切。此外,IL与澳大利亚上空的垂直运动具有密切联系。     

夏季低空越赤道气流与ENSO的关系

利用NCEP/NCAR风场和海温等资料,分析了东半球夏季低空各支越赤道气流与ENSO循环的关系及其年代际变化,结果表明:东半球夏季低空越赤道气流强度的年际变化和ENSO循环密切相关,ElNino年夏季马斯克林高压减弱,导致索马里越赤道气流变弱,而澳大利亚高压加强, 105°E及其以东的越赤道气流明显加强,LaNina年则相反;夏季越赤道气流与ENSO的年际关系具有年代际变化特征,索马里越赤道气流与ENSO的关系在 20世纪 70年代末变弱,而 105°E及其以东的越赤道气流与ENSO的关系在 20世纪 60年代末增强。     

东半球越赤道气流的年际变化特征及其与我国同期气温、降水的相关性

利用NCEP/NCAR全球再分析资料分析了东半球冬、夏两季越赤道气流的年际变化特征,以及与中国160个站点同期气温、降水的相关性.分析表明:越赤道气流的年际变化夏季强于冬季,索马里急流并不显著影响到总量的变化,而冬季最强通道与总量变化关系密切.夏季越赤道气流总量在1950年代后期和1970年代中期有两次剧增,并与冬季一样都在1994～1995年有一次剧减.东半球夏季越赤道气流与中国同期降水的相关性很小,但在1970年代突变前后的相关性明显不同,原因与东亚夏季风的关系密切.冬季越赤道气流与中国同期南北的气温的相关随着越赤道气流与不同地区海平面气压的相关性的不同而不同.     

青藏高原夏季降水的水汽分布特征

本文利用青藏高原上夏季降水资料以及NCEP再分析资料，分析了高原上夏季降水与邻近地区水汽输送的相互关系。结果发现，高原夏季降水与春季的水汽分布关系比降水与同期的关系更为密切，最明显的相关区位于南海－云贵高原－孟加拉湾一带以及帕米尔高原地区。青藏高原降水典型旱、涝年的水汽分布具有相反的特征。追踪最主要的水汽中心发现，水汽是从阿拉伯海一带逐渐向东移，然后再从高原的东南部进入高原。这种现象可能与索马里越赤道气流有关。     

越赤道气流与西北地区东部夏季降水的联系

利用1951-2002年NCEP／NCAR再分析月平均气候资料和西北地区东部夏季降水资料，研究了越赤道气流的年际变化及其对西北地区东部夏季降水的影响。结果表明，自1951年以来，越赤道气流总量呈增强趋势，且持续性好；索马里急流是最主要的越赤道气流，且比较稳定，它是影响西北地区东部夏季降水的重要环流因素。     

南海季风区地面温度变化特征及其与季风爆发的联系

分析1979年1月至1995年12月17a南海季风区修平均地面温度资料的时空变化特征发现，中南半岛西北部和印度半岛分别为地面修平均温度标准差的大值区，其位置和强度在南海季风爆发前后月份具有显著差异。从候平均温度纬圈偏差的时间演变来看，中南半岛地区纬圈温度偏差由正转负的时间早于印度半岛地区，并分别与南海夏季风和印度夏季风爆发的时间其本对应。在夏季风爆发之前，印度半岛和中南半岛地区的地面温度是逐候增加的，季风爆发以后地面温度迅速降低，而海洋上的表面温度增温幅度明显小于与其相邻地陆地，此外，从南海季风爆发早晚年中南半岛与南海地区表面温度距平差和各自温度距平的时间演变看，中南半岛地区地面温度的变化在触发南海季风爆发及其年际变化过程中可能起主导作用。     

ENSO对东亚夏季风强度的影响

夏季风的形成和强弱变化是季风问题中的一个重要方面。本文使用１９５１￣１９９２年的海平面气压（ＳＬＰ）和太平洋海表温度（ＳＳＴ）资料,地东亚夏季负强度指数进行研究,试探讨其与ＥＮＳＯ间的联系。结果表明,厄尔尼诺当年,东亚季风偏弱,次年夏季风偏强;反厄尔尼诺年反之。     

ON THE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN ENSO AND THE ASIAN MONSOON ON THE SCALE OF QUASI-BIENNIAL OSCILLATION

A diagnostic analysis is performed of the quasi-biennial oscillations during the ENSO cycle and the results are based to study the interactions between ENSO and the Asian monsoons. It shows that the Asian monsoons have significant influence on the ENSO cycle on the quasi-biennial scale. Materialized through the onset and southward progression of the winter monsoon, the influence appears in the tropical western Pacific to excite severe convection and to further affect the ENSO cycle. The phenomenon is not only reflected in the quasi-biennial mode but the annual variation of the Asian winter monsoon in reality.     

ENSO对亚洲夏季风异常和我国夏季降水的影响

首先对ＥＮＳＯ过程中亚洲夏季风环流的变化进行了诊断分析，结果表明在Ｅｌ Ｎｉｎｏ事件和ＬａＮｉｎａ事件中亚洲夏季风系统各成员均发生不同程度的变化，甚至出现相反的变异特征。其中，对我国东部地区夏季降水进行了ＥＯＦ分析，并在此基础上分析了赤道太平洋ＳＳ－ＴＡ对我国东部地区夏季降水影响的区域和程度，该影响与ＥＮＳＯ循环的发展阶段密切相关，且在长江中下游地区和华南地区最为显著。     

OPERATIONAL FORECAST OF RAINFALL INDUCED BY LANDFALLING TROPICAL CYCLONES ALONG GUANGDONG COAST

Following previous studies of the rainfall forecast in Shenzhen owing to landfalling tropical cyclones(TCs), a nonparametric statistical scheme based on the classification of the landfalling TCs is applied to analyze and forecast the rainfall induced by landfalling TCs in the coastal area of Guangdong province, China. All the TCs landfalling with the distance less than 700 kilometers to the 8 coastal stations in Guangdong province during 1950—2013 are categorized according to their landfalling position and intensity. The daily rainfall records of all the 8 meteorological stations are obtained and analyzed. The maximum daily rainfall and the maximum 3 days' accumulated rainfall at the 8 coastal stations induced by each category of TCs during the TC landfall period(a couple of days before and after TC landfalling time) from 1950 to 2013 are computed by the percentile estimation and illustrated by boxplots. These boxplots can be used to estimate the rainfall induced by landfalling TC of the same category in the future. The statistical boxplot scheme is further coupled with the model outputs from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts(ECMWF) to predict the rainfall induced by landfalling TCs along the coastal area. The TCs landfalling in south China from 2014 to 2017 and the corresponding rainfall at the 8 stations area are used to evaluate the performance of these boxplots and coupled boxplots schemes. Results show that the statistical boxplots scheme and coupled boxplots scheme can perform better than ECMWF model in the operational rainfall forecast along the coastal area in south China.     

FURTHER RESEARCH ON MECHANISM OF TBO IN SOUTH ASIAN MONSOON REGION

The results of this study prove that there is significant troposphere biennial oscillation （TBO） in the South Asian climate, especially with the Indian summer monsoon rainfall. In order to explore the mechanism of TBO in the South Asian region, we defined a unified South Asian monsoon index to depict South Asian summer monsoon （SASM） and South Asian winter monsoon （SAWM） and the transition features between SASM and SAWM. Through further analysis, the connection between the abnormity of SASM and SAWM was discovered. Normally, a strong SAWM is beneficial for a weak SASM later, while a weak SAWM favors a strong SASM. Meanwhile, a strong SASM is favorable for a weak SAWM and a weak SAWM always happens after a weak SASM. Such results suggest the evolution of the South Asian monsoon, which may be an important mechanism to excite TBO in South Asia.     

ENSO对其后东亚季风活动影响的GCM模拟研究

将１～３月赤道东太平洋海表水温距平（ＳＳＴＡ）引入大气环流模式,模拟研究了ＥＮＳＯ（厄尔尼诺和拉尼娜）对其后东亚季风活动的影响。结果表明,由于ＳＳＴＡ在大气中强迫激发出了大气低频振荡,使得ＥＮＳＯ对其后的东亚季风活动仍有明显影响。厄尔尼诺之后的夏季,西太平洋副热带高压偏强偏北且西伸明显,中国东部降水偏少,尤其是华北地区;厄尔尼诺之后的冬季,东亚大槽偏深,冬季风偏强。拉尼娜之后的夏季,中国长江下游为异常副热带高压单体控制,江淮流域雨量偏少;拉尼娜之后的冬季,东亚大槽偏弱,东亚冬季风偏弱。厄尔尼诺的影响比拉尼娜的影响略强,两者的影响并非完全反相。     

IMPACT OF ENSO ON VARIABILITY OF SUMMER MONSOON OVER ASIA AND SUMMER RAINFALL IN CHINA

In this paper, the variability of the Asian summer monsoon circulation during the ENSO period is diagnostically analyzed. Evidence suggests that every member of the Asian summer monsoon system change in varying degrees, even, oppositely, during El Nino and La Nina events. Then, the basis of the summer rainfall in east China analyzed using EOF, both region and extent of impact of the eastern tropical Pacific SSTA on the summer rainfall in East China are analyzed. This impact is closely related with development phase of the ENSO cycle, being most notable in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze and south of China.     

NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF LAG INFLUENCE OF ENSO ON EAST-ASIAN MONSOON

By prescribing sea surface temperature anomalies(SSTAs)over eastern equatorial Pacific inJanuary—March,the lag influence of ENSO(El Nino and La Nina)on monsoon over East Asiahas been studied.The results suggest that,due to the excitation of atmospheric low-frequencyoscillation by the SSTA,ENSO has significant lag influence on the monsoon over East Asia.During the summer after E1 Nino,the subtropical high over western Pacific is intensified andshows the northward and westward displacement,meanwhile,the rainfall over East China isbelow normal,especially in North China:during the winter after E1 Nino,both the Asian troughand the winter monsoon over East Asia are strengthened.During the summer after La Nina,theanomalous subtropical high prevails over the lower reaches of Yangtze(Changjiang)River,therainfall between Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers is below normal:during the winter after La Nina,both the Asian trough and the winter monsoon over East Asia are weaker.Compared with LaNina,the effect of El Nino is stronger,but it is not always opposite to the one of La Nina.     

DIFFERENCES OF SOUTH CHINA SEA SUMMER MONSOON DERIVED BY NCEP AND ECMWF REANALYSIS DATA

1 INTRODUCTIONDue to long-term time series and many elements,reanalysis data of National Centers for EnvironmentalPrediction (NCEP) and European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) are widely usedin present climate studies. Even so, there arediscrepancies between NCEP and ECMWF reanalysis.Some climate fields may be better reproduced byNCEP than by ECMWF. On the other hand,ECMWFmay describe some climate characteristics morerealistically than NCEP. Xu et al.…
