一个斜压海洋风生环流的数值模拟

为研究大尺度海气相互作用、气候以及气候的变化,一个具有规则海岸线和无海底地形的三层斜压海洋模式已经建立起来。积分区域包括了赤道地区在内,南北方向从-2750 km到+4750 km,东西方向宽10000 km,总深度是4 km。模式方程为原始方程,用了静力近似和Bou-sinesq近似。模式数值积分分两个阶段,在第一个阶段,海洋环流从静止状态开始,以只随纬度变化的年平均风应力和海表热通量作为强迫边条件数值积分十年,这时海洋上层的环流和温度都趋于平稳,我们将第十年末的积分状态作为模式气候的准平衡态。计算结果模拟了热带太平洋上气候平均的温度分布以及主要海流的大尺度特征,如赤道地区的狭长冷水带和强上翻区、南赤道洋流、北赤道逆流以及表层下面沿赤道自西向东的潜流。在第二个阶段,以在第一个阶段末尾得到的准平衡态作为初值,分别用冬季和夏季的风应力作为强迫边条件再积分一年。比较这两种计算结果,我们看到海洋环流随信风系统的季节变化也呈现出明显的季节变化,特别是北赤道逆流,其强度在夏季强,在冬季弱甚至不出现。南赤道洋流无论哪个季节都穿过赤道,在赤道以北的南赤道洋流冬季比夏季强,而在赤道以南的南赤道洋流夏季比冬季强。     

1986—1987厄尔尼诺事件的数值模拟

用高分辨率自由表面热带太平洋环流模式，在观测到的风应力和热量、水汽通量驱动下，对１９８６—１９８７厄尔尼诺（Ｅ１Ｎｉｎｏ）事件进行了数值模拟。各种变量场的时空结构及其演变表明，模式成功地模拟出１９８６—１９８７厄尔尼诺现象。始于１９８６年年中，赤道西太平洋的西风异常所推动的向东表层洋流不断向中、东太平洋输送暖水，至１１月份，大量暖水在日界线附近堆积，造成海面上升（达３２ｃｍ）和斜温层（用２０℃等温线深度表示）加深。１９８６年年底的强西风异常激发出赤道Ｋｅｌｖｉｎ波，并向赤道东太平洋和南美沿岸传播，使那里的斜温层加深和海面上升，且具有双峰结构；Ｋｅｌｖｉｎ波所伴随的垂直冷平流的减弱造成赤道中、东太平洋海表温度上升；１９８７年春季在中、东太平洋和南美沿岸地区存在强的正海表温度异常，并伴随着整个赤道太平洋斜温层东西方向变平、赤道潜流弱而中心位置变浅。厄尔尼诺相伴随的热带太平洋环流异常首先于１９８７年年中从东太平洋开始消失，而中、西太平洋则一直维持到１９８８年初。     

对厄尔尼诺事件和海洋环流的数值模拟研究

用太平洋海洋环流模式，模拟研究热带太平洋海温和环流的年际变化特征和机制．用观测的逐月风应力强迫模式，模拟１９７１～１９９５年发生的主要厄尔尼诺事件．说明风应力异常对厄尔尼诺生成起主要作用．对海温异常峰值附近３个月海温和洋流的综合分析表明：在厄尔尼诺事件时，１６０°Ｗ以西温跃层上升，以东温跃层下降，温跃层的东西倾斜显著变小．同时沿赤道的垂直环流圈减弱，中东赤道太平洋涌升流、海表层向西的赤道洋流和次表层向东的赤道潜流都减弱且厚度减小；在反厄尔尼诺时，情况则相反．     

太平洋大尺度环流数值模拟 Ⅲ：季节变化

本文在年平均环流数值模拟基础上,用季节变化的大气强迫场又积分了12年,并对由模拟得到的太平洋海面起伏、洋流、温度、海表热通量和上层热储存率等的季节变化特征作了较为详细的阐述和与已有观测结果进行了比较,事实证明,模式基本上模拟出了观测到的太平洋大尺度环流基本特征及其季节变化,证实基于理论考虑设计的IAP OGCM模式具有较好的性能和对实际环流的模拟能力,有些结果并优于国外一些具有同等分辨率的海洋模式。     

气候系统模式FGOALS-s1.1对热带降水年循环模态的模拟

文中评估了中国科学院大气物理研究所大气科学和地球流体力学数值模拟国家重点实验室(LASG/IAP)新一代耦合气候模式Fgoals_s1.1对热带降水年循环模态的模拟能力。通过与观测表层海温(SST)强迫的大气模式SAMIL试验结果比较,分析了海气耦合过程对年循环模态模拟效果的影响。结果表明Fgoals_s1.1能合理再现热带地区降水年循环模态的基本特征。Fgoals_s1.1模拟出了年平均降水场中的主要降水中心,但模拟的赤道和南太平洋降水偏多,而北太平洋降水则偏少。Fgoals_s1.1的季风模态降水呈现与观测一致的关于赤道反对称的特征,其模拟偏差大部分来自大气分量,尤其是在赤道外。Fgoals_s1.1的主要缺陷在于它对春秋非对称模态模拟能力低于单独大气模式,这主要是由于耦合模式模拟的SST距平的年循环位相与观测相反。SST纬向梯度的位相偏差使得太平洋沃克环流和印度洋的反沃克环流在春季强于秋季,最终导致模拟的春秋非对称模态的偏差。Fgoals_s1.1模拟的季风区范围接近观测,存在的问题在于模拟的西北太平洋季风区、东亚季风区都偏小。本文结果表明,大气模式偏差仅是Fgoals_s1.1在降水年循环模态模拟上的偏差的部分来源,改进模式模拟的SST,特别是赤道地区SST季节循环,是今后Fgoals_s1.1发展过程中急需解决的问题。     

一个大洋环流模式和相应的海气耦合模式的评估Ⅰ.热带太平洋年平均状态

评估了中国科学院大气物理研究所大气科学和地球流体动力学数值模拟国家重点实验室海洋环流模式L30T63和海气耦合模式FGCM-0模拟的热带太平洋年平均状态,资料取自L30T63由观测的大气强迫驱动的Control试验、由NCAR CCM3大气强迫驱动的Spinup试验、以及相应的海气耦合模式FGCM-0.主要的结论是:(1)在"准确"的海表强迫下,Control模拟的海面温度和温跃层与观测结果相当接近,模式的固有误差是赤道冷舌过分西伸和东南太平洋温跃层偏浅.(2)Spinup能模拟出合理的热带太平洋上层海洋环流,但存在两个问题,即:暖池区海面温度显著偏高、沿赤道的梯度过大;赤道温跃层偏浅、东西向坡度偏小,它们分别与CCM3提供的海表短波辐射通量和风应力的系统误差有关.这两个问题很可能是海气耦合模式FGCM-0运行初期误差迅速发展的重要原因.(3)FGCM-0模拟的赤道暖池区上层100 m的平均温度比观测低3℃.分析表明FGCM-0夸大了暖池区海洋动力过程的降温作用,使得模拟的"暖池"在一定程度上具有冷舌的属性.FGCM-0模拟的热带南太平洋温跃层比观测结果偏浅数十米到100 m,以致赤道两侧的上层海洋温度分布趋于对称,成为"double ITCZ"现象在上层海洋中的表现.风应力旋度的系统误差和垂直混合随深度衰减过快是温跃层偏浅的两个可能原因;FGCM-0中与北太平洋中高纬地区深厚冷偏差相关的经圈环流也有利于热带温跃层误差的维持.     

全球大气／热带太平洋耦合距平模式中由ENSO增暖引起的全球大气环流异常

本文利用全球大气／热带太平洋耦合距平模式模拟了一次类似于实际的ENSO增暖过程，并对由ENSO增暖引起的海洋和全球大气环流异常的主要特征进行了分析，指出:耦合模式中的ENSO增暖在热带地区主要伴随着赤道中西太平洋Walker环流的减弱、中东太平洋气压降低以及表层辐合上升运动的增强；夏季和冬季低纬环流异常具有明显的差异性，夏季主要表现为印度夏季风环流的显著减弱和东亚季风的增强，而冬季则主要表现为赤道所有纬向环流圈均减弱；温带大气环流异常冬夏季也具有明显不同特征，夏季温带大气异常主要限于东半球，且发源于亚洲季风区，和赤道中东太平洋海温异常似无直接联系，但冬季温带大气异常则主要是发源于海温异常区的波列响应，反映了海温异常直接热力强迫的结果。另外，本文对耦合模式中的温带大气环流异常产生的可能机制也进行了讨论。     

异常东亚冬季风激发ENSO的数值模拟研究

利用中国科学院大气物理研究所发展的热带太平洋环流模式（OGCM）和海－气耦合模式（CGCM）分别就冬半年东亚冬季风异常对赤道太平洋的作用进行了数值模拟研究。结果清楚地表明,无论在 OGCM 中还是在 CGCM 中,持续的冬季风强异常将引起赤道中东太平洋海表水温（SST）的明显正异常,其分布类似观测到的El Ni?o事件;而持续的冬季风弱异常将引起赤道中东太平洋SST的明显负异常,其分布十分类似观测到的La Ni?a事件。因此,数值模拟进一步证实了我们过去从资料诊断和理论分析中得到的结论,即东亚冬季风异常是激发产生 ENSO 的重要机制。对模式资料的分析还清楚表明,异常东亚冬季风将激发异常海洋Kelvin波和使热带大气季节内振荡出现强异常,它们是激发ENSO的重要物理因素,这与观测资料的分析结果相一致。

热带太平洋和印度洋海面高度季节循环和年际变化的数值模拟

利用卫星海面高度计资料,分析了赤道太平洋和印度洋海面高度变化的季节和年际变化特征,并与一个耦合气候系统模式FGCM0模拟的海面高度进行比较,评估模式模拟海面高度季节和年际变化的能力.结果表明,尽管耦合模式存在一定的系统误差,但仍然能在相当程度上模拟出海面高度季节和年际变化的基本特征.同时为检验模式中印度尼西亚贯穿流(ITF)对海面高度季节和年际变化的影响,还进行了印度尼西亚海道完全关闭的敏感性试验,与控制试验结果对比表明,印度尼西亚贯穿流可以显著影响热带太平洋和印度洋年际变化的特征.     

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.
