晴空回波的大气风温湿结构及双偏振雷达参量分析

晴空回波有助于认识大气的风温湿结构,双偏振多普勒天气雷达为探测晴空大气提供了丰富信息。本文以2015年夏季南京信息工程大学C波段双偏振雷达探测的晴空回波为例,结合探空资料分析大气风温湿结构及晴空回波的影响因素,分析了晴空大气的反射率因子Z、径向速度Vr以及差分反射率因子ZDR回波特征。研究表明:大气温、压、湿梯度造成折射指数分布不均以及背景风场引起的湍流增强,均可造成晴空回波,其回波机理为湍流散射;差分反射率因子受到多普勒效应的影响;在风场及大气湍团干湿特性不同的情况下,晴空回波的差分反射率因子呈现不同的特征。研究结果有益于深入认识大气风温湿结构特征对雷达电磁波的散射的影响以及雷达资料质量控制。     

新一代天气雷达晴空回波反射率因子特征分析

本文基于新一代天气雷达、地面自动站、探空资料和卫星资料,综合利用天气雷达反射率因子和气象要素等资料分析了晴空回波的特征。结果表明:我国不同地域（华北、华中、华东和华南）晴空回波具有明显的日变化和年变化特征,具体表现为每年的春秋两季天气雷达可探测到明显的晴空回波,而且晴空回波主要出现在傍晚到第2天清晨之间。进一步的分析表明雷达探测的晴空回波和折射指数的涨落关系密切,此外逆温层和高湿区的存在也与雷达是否能够探测到晴空回波存在较高的相关性。     

北京S波段天气雷达夜间晴空回波产生原因

S波段天气雷达在夜间往往能探测到大量晴空回波。根据生物随风迁飞迁徙的定向运动特征,结合L波段无线电探空数据与2018年3—10月北京S波段天气雷达数据,分析晴空回波在不同时段、不同风向下的变化,讨论晴空回波产生原因。通过天气雷达数据发现,晴空回波的反射率因子在6—8月初明显小于5月与9月,呈回波强度低谷,同时在5月与9月晴空回波高度可达2 km以上。通过与100 m,750 m和1.5 km高度的探空风向数据对比,反射率因子平均值未展现生物定向迁飞活动所导致的强度变化特征,反射率因子分布不随风向发生明显的季节性变化。与探空数据对比发现,温度垂直递减率与水平风切变大小的变化趋势与组合反射率因子变化趋势一致,认为北京地区晴空回波主要由大气边界层湍流造成。     

晴空回波特征与风场信息应用

为研究晴空回波风场信息在对流性降水天气中的预警应用价值,选取山东省临沂雷达站2008—2013年5—9月的观测数据分析降水晴空回波特征。研究发现:临沂地区5—9月约87%的日数会出现晴空回波,且90%以上出现在距离雷达站100km范围之内,反射率因子多在10~25dBz,具有明显日变化;晴空回波的速度产品能提供有效监测对流性降水出现前的大气低层风场信息,能一定程度反映低层湍流的耗散率,对降水过程有一定的指示性,相关研究成果对降低对流天气漏报率和提高预警提前量有重要意义。     

Ka波段云雷达晴空回波垂直结构及变化特征

利用2017—2019年中国气象局大气探测试验基地Ka波段云雷达资料,结合地面自动气象站、激光云高仪资料,从强度、速度、线性退极化比以及晴空回波高度等方面,分析晴空回波垂直结构和变化特征。基于激光和微波对粒子半径和数密度散射的差异,区分云和晴空回波。结果表明:Ka波段云雷达探测到的晴空回波在边界层主要包含层状湍流回波和点状昆虫回波,且回波顶高在3000 m以内。晴空回波强度和高度具有明显的季节和日变化特征,冬季回波顶高较低,夏季回波顶高较高,与地面气温具有很好的相关性,每年的1,2,11,12月几乎没有晴空回波,而7月和8月回波顶平均高度最高。晴空回波反射率因子为-40~-15 dBZ,其中层状湍流回波反射率因子概率密度峰值处反射率因子为-35 dBZ,点状昆虫回波反射率因子概率密度峰值处反射率因子为-30 dBZ。晴空回波垂直移动速度为-1.5~+0.5 m·s-1,整体呈下沉运动。层状湍流回波线性退极化比较点状昆虫回波稍大,一般为-10~-5 dB,点状昆虫回波线性退极化比一般为-15~-8 dB。     

多普勒雷达晴空回波识别与应用

在现有多普勒天气雷达资料质量控制基础上,采用徐州雷达站2009年4月和9月雷达资料,统计并对比几种常见的降水回波与非降水回波特性,找出一种有效地识别晴空回波的方法。该方法在不同径向距离区间(小于25km及25～200km)采用不同的识别参数,能够较好地将非降水回波中对临近预报有用的晴空回波信息保留,而将其他非降水回波信息(地物回波、超折射回波等)剔除。依据该方法识别的晴空回波区域所对应Doppler速度可用于判别大气平流状况,从而为预报工作提供帮助。     

Application of Linear Thermodynamics to the Atmospheric System. Part Ⅰ: Linear Phenomenological Relations and Thermodynamic Property of the Atmospheric System

从一般的热力学原理或其它自然原理对唯象关系所强加的限制，能够演绎出大气系统的一系列热力学性质。利用非平衡态线性热力学导出了湍流K闭合理论中湍流交换系数同唯象系数的关系，从理论上证明大气系统热量湍流输送同水泡之间存在交叉耦合，还导出了湍流强度同速度和位温梯度的关系，从而证明速度和位温空间分布的非均匀性是湍流之源。并证明湍流强度定理，不可压缩气体和各向同性湍流大气中，湍流强度正比于速度与位温梯度的标积。进而证明大气涡旋定理，位温的切变将导致涡旋运动或各种环流运动，速度涡度等于速度同位温相对梯度的矢积。展现了线性热力学在大气系统的应用前景。     

夜间近地面稳定边界层湍流间歇与增温

在夜间晴空条件下，近地面大气湍流表现出很强的间歇性，这种间歇现象导致夜间气温短时的急剧下降，随后大幅度增温。近地面大幅度增温表明此时存在着很大的湍流热通量散度，常通量层的概念这时不存在。从各高度层温度和风速变化的曲线上分析，我们发现湍流大多在距离地面较高一点的高度上发生发展，然后向下层传递，尽管上层的湍流可能是由于下层的某一触发机制向上传递而引起的。湍流偶尔也出现自下向上传递的过程，但这一过程较少发生。湍流的这种上下传递说明稳定边界层大气经常处于非平衡状态，在运用相似理论研究稳定边界层大气结构时要特别注意这一情形。

北京市郊区及城区边缘的大气湍流结构特征

为了比较城市边缘地区和郊区大气边界层中湍流结构的差异,本文分析了1986年春、夏两季在北京市城市边缘地区和郊区两处大气湍流观测结果.结果表明,由于城市边缘地区的下垫表面具有较高数值的粗糙度,使其近地面层大气受到较强的动力影响,在其湍流速度分量谱曲线;无量纲化湍流速度分量标准偏差,σ_u/u*,σ_v/u*和σ_w/u*;以及无量纲化湍流耗散率φ_ε等湍流特征量在近中性层结条件下显示出与大气稳定度的关系比较微弱.     

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF VARIOUS DATA OF AIR–SEA TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE AND ITS VARIATION ACROSS SOUTH CHINA SEA IN THE PAST 35 YEARS

Using the International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set(ICOADS) and ERA-Interim data, spatial distributions of air-sea temperature difference(ASTD) in the South China Sea(SCS) for the past 35 years are compared,and variations of spatial and temporal distributions of ASTD in this region are addressed using empirical orthogonal function decomposition and wavelet analysis methods. The results indicate that both ICOADS and ERA-Interim data can reflect actual distribution characteristics of ASTD in the SCS, but values of ASTD from the ERA-Interim data are smaller than those of the ICOADS data in the same region. In addition, the ASTD characteristics from the ERA-Interim data are not obvious inshore. A seesaw-type, north-south distribution of ASTD is dominant in the SCS; i.e., a positive peak in the south is associated with a negative peak in the north in November, and a negative peak in the south is accompanied by a positive peak in the north during April and May. Interannual ASTD variations in summer or autumn are decreasing. There is a seesaw-type distribution of ASTD between Beibu Bay and most of the SCS in summer, and the center of large values is in the Nansha Islands area in autumn. The ASTD in the SCS has a strong quasi-3a oscillation period in all seasons, and a quasi-11 a period in winter and spring. The ASTD is positively correlated with the Nio3.4 index in summer and autumn but negatively correlated in spring and winter.     

Could the Recent Taal Volcano Eruption Trigger an El Ni?o and Lead to Eurasian Warming?

<正>The Taal Volcano in Luzon is one of the most active and dangerous volcanoes of the Philippines. A recent eruption occurred on 12 January 2020(Fig. 1a), and this volcano is still active with the occurrence of volcanic earthquakes. The eruption has become a deep concern worldwide, not only for its damage on local society, but also for potential hazardous consequences on the Earth’s climate and environment.     

VARIABILITY OF INTER-ANNUAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INDIAN OCEAN DIPOLE AND HUAXI REGION’S AUTUMN PRECIPITATION

The moving-window correlation analysis was applied to investigate the relationship between autumn Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) events and the synchronous autumn precipitation in Huaxi region, based on the daily precipitation, sea surface temperature (SST) and atmospheric circulation data from 1960 to 2012. The correlation curves of IOD and the early modulation of Huaxi region’s autumn precipitation indicated a mutational site appeared in the 1970s. During 1960 to 1979, when the IOD was in positive phase in autumn, the circulations changed from a “W” shape to an ”M” shape at 500 hPa in Asia middle-high latitude region. Cold flux got into the Sichuan province with Northwest flow, the positive anomaly of the water vapor flux transported from Western Pacific to Huaxi region strengthened, caused precipitation increase in east Huaxi region. During 1980 to 1999, when the IOD in autumn was positive phase, the atmospheric circulation presented a “W” shape at 500 hPa, the positive anomaly of the water vapor flux transported from Bay of Bengal to Huaxi region strengthened, caused precipitation ascend in west Huaxi region. In summary, the Indian Ocean changed from cold phase to warm phase since the 1970s, caused the instability of the inter-annual relationship between the IOD and the autumn rainfall in Huaxi region.     

IMPACT OF ATMOSPHERIC LOW-FREQUENCY OSCILLATION ON THE IMMIGRATION OF NILAPARVATA LUGENS(STL) IN HUNAN AND JIANGXI PROVINCES

Various features of the atmospheric environment affect the number of migratory insects, besides their initial population. However, little is known about the impact of atmospheric low-frequency oscillation(10 to 90 days) on insect migration. A case study was conducted to ascertain the influence of low-frequency atmospheric oscillation on the immigration of brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens(Stl), in Hunan and Jiangxi provinces. The results showed the following:(1) The number of immigrating N. lugens from April to June of 2007 through 2016 mainly exhibited a periodic oscillation of 10 to 20 days.(2) The 10-20 d low-frequency number of immigrating N. lugens was significantly correlated with a low-frequency wind field and a geopotential height field at 850 h Pa.(3) During the peak phase of immigration, southwest or south winds served as a driving force and carried N. lugens populations northward, and when in the back of the trough and the front of the ridge, the downward airflow created a favorable condition for N. lugens to land in the study area. In conclusion, the northward migration of N. lugens was influenced by a low-frequency atmospheric circulation based on the analysis of dynamics. This study was the first research connecting atmospheric low-frequency oscillation to insect migration.     

A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ATMOSPHERIC AND OCEANIC CONDITIONS BEFORE THE OCCURRENCE OF TWO TYPES OF EL NIO EVENTS

The atmospheric and oceanic conditions before the onset of EP El Ni?o and CP El Ni?o in nearly 30 years are compared and analyzed by using 850 hPa wind, 20℃ isotherm depth, sea surface temperature and the Wheeler and Hendon index. The results are as follows: In the western equatorial Pacific, the occurrence of the anomalously strong westerly winds of the EP El Ni?o is earlier than that of the CP El Ni?o. Its intensity is far stronger than that of the CP El Ni?o. Two months before the El Ni?o, the anomaly westerly winds of the EP El Ni?o have extended to the eastern Pacific region, while the westerly wind anomaly of the CP El Ni?o can only extend to the west of the dateline three months before the El Ni?o and later stay there. Unlike the EP El Ni?o, the CP El Ni?o is always associated with easterly wind anomaly in the eastern equatorial Pacific before its onset. The thermocline depth anomaly of the EP El Ni?o can significantly move eastward and deepen. In addition, we also find that the evolution of thermocline is ahead of the development of the sea surface temperature for the EP El Ni?o. The strong MJO activity of the EP El Ni?o in the western and central Pacific is earlier than that of the CP El Ni?o. Measured by the standard deviation of the zonal wind square, the intensity of MJO activity of the EP El Ni?o is significantly greater than that of the CP El Ni?o before the onset of El Ni?o.
