模式水平分辨率提高对一段大暴雨预报结果的影响

使用中尺度暴雨模式MRM1—不等距21层细致边界层η坐标模式,分别采用36 km和18 km的水平分辨率对1998年6月12日~7月31日造成长江流域特大洪水的暴雨进行数值模拟,结果表明:当把模式水平分辨率提高到18 km后,暴雨及其以下降水量等级的预报TS评分与36 km的相当,但大暴雨预报效果明显提高,降水分布具有明显集中的趋势,暴雨、大暴雨中心也明显向实况降雨中心靠拢。对1998年6月12~21日10个个例的数值模拟表明,水平分辨率由36 km提高到18 km后,网格尺度降水量占总降水量的比例由平均14.1%提高到27.5%,而次网格尺度降水量的比例由85.9%下降到72.5%;对1998年6月19日造成闽浙大暴雨的天气系统模拟对比分析表明,模式提高分辨率后,能够较好地模拟出造成大暴雨的中-β尺度低涡及其中尺度特征,预报暴雨及大暴雨的雨区有了明显的局地性,更接近实况暴雨及大暴雨的雨区。     

WRF模式不同云微物理参数化方案及水平分辨率对降水预报效果的影响

利用WRF模式和GFS资料对一次大尺度天气系统作用下的暴雨过程进行了回报,分析了WRF模式不同降水方案和3种不同的水平分辨率（45km,15km和5km）对降水预报效果的影响。结果表明：①对于大尺度强迫作用较强的暴雨,尤其是层状云降水为主的暴雨,云微物理过程方案对降水的影响远大于积云参数化方案对降水的影响。②WRF模式不同的微物理过程方案对各等级降水量的预报效果差别较大。其中Kessler方案的TS评分明显随降水量级的增加而减小,其他6个方案的TS评分都呈现＂两头大,中间小＂的特点,即小雨和暴雨的TS评分较高,而中雨和大雨的TS评分较低。③对于小雨量级的降水,Lin方案的预报效果最好;对于中雨和大雨量级的降水,WSM 3方案的预报效果最好;对于暴雨量级的降水,WSM 5方案的预报效果最好;整体预报效果最好的是WSM 3方案,其次是WSM 5方案,Kessler方案最差。④WRF模式的降水预报效果并不总是随水平分辨率的提高而提高。模式水平分辨率的提高存在明显的阈值（15km左右）,当模式的水平分辨率提高到超过这一阈值以后,预报效果开始转差。

利用建立在长江三角洲地区的GPS观测网中4个站点资料,进行2002年梅雨期(6月18日～7月11日)MM5模式24小时预报结果与GPS观测资料的比较研究.研究结果表明:2002年梅雨期,不同的GPS站点可降水量的变化与梅雨带的移动和走向有直接的关系.提高模式分辨率能减小模式初始场对湿度的分析误差,但对可降水量的预报能力改善不明显.尽管MM5模式积分一开始对可降水量的预报就存在5%～10%的偏差,但积分前10小时模式对可降水量表现了较好的预报能力.积分20小时后,模式对可降水量的预报偏差明显增长.研究还表明:GPS对可降水量的测量与探空观测有较高的一致性.相距43 km时,两者仍有一定的可比性.GPS测量的可降水量资料可能存在系统误差, 同化GPS资料时应关注GPS资料本身的可靠性.

Comparative Experiments on the Effect of Radar Data Assimilation and Increasing Horizontal Resolution on Short-term Numerical Weather Prediction

To examine the effect of radar data assimilation and increasing horizontal resolution on the short-term numerical weather prediction, comparative numerical experiments are conducted for a Huabei (North China) torrential rainfall event by using the Advanced Regional Prediction System (ARPS) and ARPS Data Analysis System (ADAS). The experiments use five different horizontal grid spacings, i.e., 18, 15, 9, 6, and 3 km,respectively, under the two different types of analyses: one with radar data, the other without. Results show that, when radar data are not used in the analysis (i.e., only using the conventional observation data), increasing horizontal resolution can improve the short-term prediction of 6 h with better representation of the frontal structure and higher scores of the rainfall prediction, particularly for heavy rain situations. When radar data are assimilated, it significantly improves the rainfall prediction for the first 6 h, especially the locality and intensity of precipitation. Moreover, using radar data in the analysis is more effective in improving the short-term prediction than increasing horizontal resolution of the model alone, which is demonstrated by the fact that by using radar data in the analysis and a coarser resolution of the 18-km grid spacing, the predicted results are as good as that by using a higher resolution of the 3-km grid spacing without radar data. Further study of the results under the radar data assimilation with grid spacing of 18-3 km reveals that the rainfall prediction is more sensitive to the grid spacing in heavy rain situations (more than 40 mm) than in ordinary rain situations (less than 40 mm). When the horizontal grid spacing reduces from 6 to 3 km, there is no obvious improvement to the prediction results. This suggests that there is a limit to how far increasing horizontal resolution can do for the improvement of the prediction. Therefore, an effective approach to improve the short-term numerical prediction is to combine the radar data assimilation with an optimal horizontal resolution.     

The 26 July 2005 heavy rainfall event over Mumbai: numerical modeling aspects

The performance of the Advanced Regional Prediction System (ARPS) in simulating an extreme rainfall event is evaluated, and subsequently the physical mechanisms leading to its initiation and sustenance are explored. As a case study, the heavy precipitation event that led to 65 cm of rainfall accumulation in a span of around 6 h (1430 LT–2030 LT) over Santacruz (Mumbai, India), on 26 July, 2005, is selected. Three sets of numerical experiments have been conducted. The first set of experiments (EXP1) consisted of a four-member ensemble, and was carried out in an idealized mode with a model grid spacing of 1 km. In spite of the idealized framework, signatures of heavy rainfall were seen in two of the ensemble members. The second set (EXP2) consisted of a five-member ensemble, with a four-level one-way nested integration and grid spacing of 54, 18, 6 and 1 km. The model was able to simulate a realistic spatial structure with the 54, 18, and 6 km grids; however, with the 1 km grid, the simulations were dominated by the prescribed boundary conditions. The third and final set of experiments (EXP3) consisted of a five-member ensemble, with a four-level one-way nesting and grid spacing of 54, 18, 6, and 2 km. The Scaled Lagged Average Forecasting (SLAF) methodology was employed to construct the ensemble members. The model simulations in this case were closer to observations, as compared to EXP2. Specifically, among all experiments, the timing of maximum rainfall, the abrupt increase in rainfall intensities, which was a major feature of this event, and the rainfall intensities simulated in EXP3 (at 6 km resolution) were closest to observations. Analysis of the physical mechanisms causing the initiation and sustenance of the event reveals some interesting aspects. Deep convection was found to be initiated by mid-tropospheric convergence that extended to lower levels during the later stage. In addition, there was a high negative vertical gradient of equivalent potential temperature suggesting strong atmospheric instability prior to and during the occurrence of the event. Finally, the presence of a conducive vertical wind shear in the lower and mid-troposphere is thought to be one of the major factors influencing the longevity of the event.     

湿热力平流参数在贵州初夏强降水中的运用

使用NCEP(1°×1°)再分析资料计算湿热力平流参数及其积分,通过对比分析2008—2009年初夏(5—6月)地面实况降水与该因子积分后的中心大值区的对应关系。理论分析表明:湿热力平流参数综合体现了锋区附近大气的动力、热力及水汽作用,相对于常用的相当位温、湿度等常用物理量来说,在一定程度上包含了广义位温及位温平流的相互作用,对实际非均匀饱和大气的动热力变化及水汽有较好的反映。统计分析也表明:积分后的湿热力平流参数中心值区与地面6小时强降水落区有较好的对应关系,它的变化趋势及移动方向与强降水区的变化也较一致,能作为短时强降水落区预报提供参考;利用NCEP/NCAR(1°×1°)再分析资料和Micaps地面实况降水资料,选取2009年6月7-9日发生在贵州的强降水过程为例,通过把湿热力平流参数与此次过程中动、热力场结合进行诊断分析,进一步表明该参数能综合地反应锋面强降水系统中的水汽、动力及热力的垂直结构特征,能作为造成强降水的锋面系统的示踪物。

湿地边界层通量影响热带气旋登陆维持和降水的数值试验

用MM5v3模式及其TC Bogus方案对台风Nina(7503)在中国大陆上的维持加强过程进行模拟,并通过各种敏感性试验,研究了饱和湿地对热带气旋在大陆上维持和降水的影响。结果表明:湿地边界层内各通量对登陆热带气旋的强度、结构及其降水具有明显影响。潜热通量和感热通量均有利于热带气旋的维持和加强,其中潜热输送的作用显著,感热输送的作用较小。潜热和感热通量有利于热带气旋雨带螺旋结构的维持,对台风降水分布有明显影响,动量通量对热带气旋风场有显著的削弱作用,是其能量耗散、低压填塞的主要原因,但对台风降水具有局地增幅作用。     

The Effects of Model Resolution on the Simulation of Regional Climate Extreme Events

The fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University/NCAR Mesoscale Model Version 3 (MM5V3) was used to simulate extreme heavy rainfall events over the Yangtze River Basin in June 1999. The effects of model's horizontal and vertical resolution on the extreme climate events were investigated in detail. In principle, the model was able to characterize the spatial distribution of monthly heavy precipitation. The results indicated that the increase in horizontal resolution could reduce the bias of the modeled heavy rain and reasonably simulate the change of daily precipitation during the study period. A finer vertical resolution led to obviously improve rainfall simulations with smaller biases, and hence, better resolve heavy rainfall events. The increase in both horizontal and vertical resolution could produce better predictions of heavy rainfall events. Not only the rainfall simulation altered in the cases of different horizontal and vertical grid spacing, but also other meteorological fields demonstrated diverse variations in terms of resolution change in the model. An evident improvement in the simulated sea level pressure resulted from the increase of horizontal resolution, but the simulation was insensitive to vertical grid spacing. The increase in vertical resolution could enhance the simulation of surface temperature as well as atmospheric circulation at low levels, while the simulation of circulation at middle and upper levels were found to be much less dependent on changing resolution. In addition, cumulus parameterization schemes showed high sensitivity to horizontal resolution. Different convective schemes exhibited large discrepancies in rainfall simulations with regards to changing resolution. The percentage of convective precipitation in the Grell scheme increased with increasing horizontal resolution. In contrast, the Kain-Fritsch scheme caused a reduced ratio of convective precipitation to total rainfall accumulations corresponding to increasing horizontal resolution.

Western Himalayan snow cover and Indian monsoon rainfall: A re-examination with INSAT and NCEP/NCAR data

Summary ?This study presents the monthly climatology and variability of the INSAT (Indian National Satellite) derived snow cover estimates over the western Himalayan region. The winter/spring snow estimates over the region are related to the subsequent summer monsoon rainfall over India. The NCEP/NCAR data are used to understand the physical mechanism of the snow-monsoon links. 15 years (1986–2000) of recent data are utilized to investigate these features in the present global warming environment. Results reveal that the spring snow cover area has been declining and snow has been melting faster from winter to spring after 1993. Connections between snow cover estimates and Indian monsoon rainfall (IMR) show that spring snow cover area is negatively related with maximum during May, while snow melt during the February–May period is positively related with subsequent IMR, implying that smaller snow cover area during May and faster snow melt from winter to spring is conducive for good monsoon activity over India. NCEP/NCAR data further shows that the heat low over northwest India and the monsoon circulation over the Indian subcontinent, in particular the cross-equatorial flow, during May are intensified (weakened) when the snow cover area during May is smaller (extensive) and snow melts faster (slower) during the February–May period. The well-documented negative relationship between winter snow and summer rainfall seems to have altered recently and changed to a positive relationship. The changes observed in snow cover extent and snow depth due to global warming may be a possible cause for the weakening winter snow–IMR relationship.

NCAR分析资料在大气边界层内误差的初步分析

通过比较1998年南海季风试验(SCSMEX)期间(1998年5月5日～5月25日,6月4日～6月20日)7个站点的探空加密观测资料与NCAR分析资料,分析了在大气边界层内分析资料存在的误差.结果表明:在大气边界层内,NCAR分析资料存在较大的误差.位温和比湿误差随着高度的增加呈现下高上低的特征.比湿的误差要大于位温的误差,7个站点的位温均方差最小值基本都小于1 K,最大均方差也不大于2 K,而比湿均方差最小值基本都大于1.0 g·kg~(-1),部分站点的误差最大值超过2.0 g·kg~(-1).初步说明,下垫面对NCAR分析资料误差的产生有较大影响,内陆地区和海岛地区的分析资料位温的误差比沿海地区大,而比湿数据则相反;在垂直方向上,分析资料的位温误差在0.98～1.33 K之间,比湿误差介于1.39～1.60 g·kg~(-1)之间.
