大气再分析资料中潜在可预报性的特征及其差异

利用1957年9月—2002年8月ECMWF和NCEP/NCAR月平均再分析资料,分别讨论了冬季和夏季SLP(sea level pressure,海平面气压)、500hPa高度、200hPa纬向风和850hPa经向风年际变率的潜在可预报性特征。结果表明:热带地区的潜在可预报性较高,尤其是赤道中东太平洋地区,而中高纬地区的潜在可预报性则较低。比较两套资料潜在可预报性的异同后发现:南半球的差异均明显大于北半球,特别是南极地区;低层变量的差异均大于中高层变量;东亚大陆在冬、夏季均具有一定的潜在可预报性;冬季各变量均表现出东亚冬季风具有较高的年际变率潜在可预报性,且两套资料的差异较小;500hPa位势高度表现的东亚夏季风潜在可预报性在两套资料中较一致,而低层变量(SLP和850hPa经向风)表现的东亚夏季风年际变率潜在可预报性在两套资料中存在较大差异。     

High resolution global modeling of the atmospheric circulation

An informal review is presented of recent developments in numerical simulation of the global atmospheric circulation with very fine numerical resolution models. The focus is on results obtained recently with versions of the GFDL SKYHI model and the Atmospheric Model for the Earth Simulator (AFES) global atmospheric models. These models have been run with effective horizontal grid resolution of 10–40 km and fine vertical resolution. The results presented demonstrate the utility of such models for the study of a diverse range of phenomena. Specifically the models are shown to simulate the development of tropical cyclones with peak winds and minimum central pressures comparable to those of the most intense hurricanes actually observed. More fundamentally, the spectrum of energy content in the mesoscale in the flow can be reproduced by these models down to near the smallest explicitly-resolved horizontal scales. In the middle atmosphere it is shown that increasing horizontal resolution can lead to significantly improved overall simulation of the global-scale circulation. The application of the models to two specific problems requiring very fine resolution global will be discussed. The spatial and temporal variability of the vertical eddy flux of zonal momentum associated with gravity waves near the tropopause is evaluated in the very fine resolution AFES model. This is a subject of great importance for understanding and modelling the flow in the middle atmosphere. Then the simulation of the small scale variations of the semidiurnal surface pressure oscillation is analyzed, and the signature of significant topographic modulation of the semidiurnal atmospheric tide is identified.     

大气环流系统组合性异常与极端天气气候事件发生

根据2008年1月我国南方发生的持续严重雨雪冰冻灾害、1998年长江流域的特大洪涝灾害和2009/2010年冬季云南的极端干旱灾害的分析结果,再次强调指出,对于一些小概率的极端天气气候事件的发生,大气环流系统的组合性异常起着极其重要的作用。对于2008年的严重雨雪冰冻灾害的发生,多个大气环流系统的组合性异常包括:乌拉尔山阻塞高压和贝加尔湖-巴尔喀什湖的横槽,这为不断有冷空气从西路向南爆发提供了条件;东亚和日本地区的高度正异常使得北方冷空气的势力不是很强,适于锋面在我国南岭及其以北地区较长时间停留,为持续降水确立了背景;西太平洋副高偏强和偏西也对冷空气的向南推进起了阻挡作用;印-缅槽的持续偏强和西太平洋副高的偏强共同使暖湿空气源源不断地输送到华南地区,有利持续降水的发生,为冰冻造成了条件。对于1998年夏季长江流域的特大洪涝的发生,多个环流系统的异常包括:夏季西南季风涌的活动,西太平洋副热带高压活动,北方冷空气活动和青藏高原对流系统东传的共同作用。对于2009/2010年冬季云南的极端干旱灾害的发生,多个环流系统的异常包括:对流层高层中东地区副热带西风急流减弱,影响Rossby波的活动,不利于青藏高原-孟加拉湾槽的建立;西太平洋副热带高压偏强、位置略为偏南,对低层水汽输入云南起到抑制作用;NAO的负异常所导致的遥相关波列异常,使得东亚北方冷空气活动偏东,不易到达云南地区,还使得南支槽偏弱,暖湿气流也不易到达云南地区。ENSO虽然对中国天气气候变化有相当重要的影响,但并非每次异常天气气候事件的发生都是它的直接影响。对于ENSO影响必须具体分析,才能决定它在异常事件、特别是极端天气气候事件中的确切作用。     

柴达木盆地1981-2017年降水及大气环流特征分析

基于1981~2017年柴达木盆地十个气象台站逐日降水资料和NCEP/NCAR再分析资料,对柴达木盆地降水特征及主要影响的大气环流形势进行了研究。结果表明：1981~2017年柴达木盆地降水东部大于西部,年际降水总体皆呈增加趋势,且东部增势大于西部。降水具有明显周期,其中年际周期主要为1~3年,年内周期主要存在于降水较为集中的夏季,表现为显著的准单周振荡。EOF分析显示柴达木盆地夏季降水主要有两类空间模态,第一模态为空间一致型,第二模态为“中部正、东部西部负”型。进而对影响这两类主要模态的大气环流特征进行分析,结果表明：空间一致降水正异常时,以黑海—蒙古高原—日本海表现为“丝绸之路”型遥相关波列和东亚从低纬到高纬呈现“+-+”的经向型遥相关波列的异常环流形势为特征,水汽主要源于阿拉伯海、孟加拉湾,经青藏高原东侧向北输送至盆地。第二模态降水偏多时大气环流表现为对流层中层欧亚大陆大部分地区为正异常,盆地受异常反气旋的控制,对流层低层中亚异常气旋和异常反气旋相互作用使冷空气南下,西北太平洋的异常反气旋式环流南侧的偏东气流输送水汽,冷暖空气在盆地交汇,使盆地降水偏多。     

基于多源数据的“利奇马”台风大气环流、云及降水特征分析

利用NCEP/NCAR再分析资料、FY-4A静止卫星资料对“利奇马”生命过程的大气环流特征、云宏观特征进行了分析。针对“利奇马”超强台风期间的一次降水过程,利用GPM卫星的双频降水雷达(Dual-frequency Precipitation Radar,DPR)资料对其进行了宏微观特征分析。结果表明:在“利奇马”生命过程中,西太平洋副热带高压、40°N以北的高空槽脊、(35°N,80°E)的高压以及“罗莎”台风对“利奇马”的发展、移动均产生了重要的影响;其云系分布先后表现为螺旋状、逗点状、中心对称结构以及不规则形状,其南北两侧的云区范围、云顶高度也不断变化;在“利奇马”超强台风期间的一次降水过程中,近地表降水率大致呈环状分布,降水粒子浓度以及降水粒子半径的南北分布与东西分布相差较大,除了云墙降水为对流降水外,其他部分的降水以层云降水为主,层云降水对应的雨顶高度在4.5~12 km,主要集中在5.5~10 km;对流降水对应的雨顶高度在1~12 km,主要集中在2~5 km和6~11 km。     

Southern hemisphere atmospheric circulation: impacts on Antarctic climate and reconstructions from Antarctic ice core data

The atmospheric circulation patterns in the Southern Hemisphere have had a significant impact on the climate of the Antarctic and there is much evidence that these circulation patterns have changed in the recent past. This change is thought to have contributed to the warming trend observed at the Antarctic Peninsula over the last 50 years—one of the largest trends observed in this period on the planet. The trends associated with the continental Antarctic climate are less clear but are likely to be impacted less directly by atmospheric circulation changes. The circulation changes can be put into the context of longer timescales by considering atmospheric circulation reconstructions that have been performed using data from Antarctic ice cores. In this review paper we look at the main body of work examining: Antarctic climate trends; the understanding and impact of atmospheric circulation of the mid- to high-latitudes of the Southern Hemisphere; and the usefulness and reliability of atmospheric circulation reconstructions from Antarctic ice core data. Finally, beyond several of the more quantitative reconstructions, it is deemed that an assessment of their consistency is not possible due to the variety of circulation characteristics that the various reconstructions consider.     

Multidecadal changes in the relationship between extreme temperature events in Uruguay and the general atmospheric circulation

We analyze changes in the relationship between extreme temperature events and the large scale atmospheric circulation before and after the 1976 climate shift. To do so we first constructed a set of two temperature indices that describe the occurrence of warm nights (TN90) and cold nights (TN10) based on a long daily observed minimum temperature database that spans the period 1946?C2005, and then divided the period into two subperiods of 30?years each (1946?C1975 and 1976?C2005). We focus on summer (TN10) and winter (TN90) seasons. During austral summer before 1976 the interannual variability of cold nights was characterized by a negative phase of the Southern Annular Mode (SAM) with a cyclonic anomaly centered off Uruguay that favoured the entrance of cold air from the south. After 1976 cold nights are associated not with the SAM, but with an isolated vortex at upper levels over South Eastern South America. During austral winter before 1976, the El Ni?o phenomenon dominated the interannual variability of warm nights through an increase in the northerly warm flow into Uruguay. However, after 1976 the El Ni?o connection weakened and the variability of warm nights is dominated by a barotropic anticyclonic anomaly located in the South Atlantic and a low pressure center over South America. This configuration also strengthens the northward flow of warm air into Uruguay. Our results suggest that changes in El Ni?o evolution after 1976 may have played a role in altering the relationship between temperature extreme events in Uruguay and the atmospheric circulation.     

基于再分析资料与观测资料的中国低温阈值变化特征研究

采用1979—2013年中国192站逐日最低温度观测资料和NCEP/NCAR、NCEP/DOE、JRA-55、ERA-Interim再分析资料及1979—2004年均一化资料,分别计算低温阈值并对比分析其气候态、年际和年代际变化、长期趋势等特征。结果表明:与观测结果相比,均一化资料阈值在东北、内蒙古西部和两广等地偏低,在青藏高原东侧、新疆北部和黄河中下游偏高,线性趋势则相反;再分析资料阈值在南方偏低、东北偏高,在东部的可信度高于西部;再分析资料能显示内蒙古中西部的降温趋势和青藏高原的增温趋势,但在数值和范围上有差异,且均低估了观测资料反映的华北地区的显著升温现象;再分析资料能体现观测资料阈值的全区一致性、东北与其他地区反相的空间分布及其年际变化特征,仅JRA-55和ERA-Interim可再现低温阈值的年代际变化特征。     

2022年华南极端“龙舟水”与大气环流及海温异常的关系

利用华南192个国家气象观测站逐日降水资料,NCEP/NCAR大气环流再分析资料,NOAA月平均海表温度资料(ERSST V5)及向外长波辐射(OLR)资料,采用相关、合成分析的方法研究了2022年华南“龙舟水”异常与大气环流及海温异常的关系。结果表明,2022年“龙舟水”期间,东亚大槽、东北冷涡偏强,南下冷空气偏强,同时西太平洋副热带高压和南支槽均偏强,在华南存在明显的水汽辐合。2022年发生的拉尼娜事件,大气环流对其有明显响应,Walker环流增强,华南对流明显加强,菲律宾以东存在异常反气旋环流,副高加强导致其西北侧的西南风加强,向华南水汽输送显著增强,同时华南存在显著的上升运动。大气环流和海温的异常导致2022年华南极端“龙舟水”。     

Trends in middle- and upper-level tropospheric humidity from NCEP reanalysis data

The National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) reanalysis data on tropospheric humidity are examined for the period 1973 to 2007. It is accepted that radiosonde-derived humidity data must be treated with great caution, particularly at altitudes above the 500 hPa pressure level. With that caveat, the face-value 35-year trend in zonal-average annual-average specific humidity q is significantly negative at all altitudes above 850 hPa (roughly the top of the convective boundary layer) in the tropics and southern midlatitudes and at altitudes above 600 hPa in the northern midlatitudes. It is significantly positive below 850 hPa in all three zones, as might be expected in a mixed layer with rising temperatures over a moist surface. The results are qualitatively consistent with trends in NCEP atmospheric temperatures (which must also be treated with great caution) that show an increase in the stability of the convective boundary layer as the global temperature has risen over the period. The upper-level negative trends in q are inconsistent with climate-model calculations and are largely (but not completely) inconsistent with satellite data. Water vapor feedback in climate models is positive mainly because of their roughly constant relative humidity (i.e., increasing q) in the mid-to-upper troposphere as the planet warms. Negative trends in q as found in the NCEP data would imply that long-term water vapor feedback is negative—that it would reduce rather than amplify the response of the climate system to external forcing such as that from increasing atmospheric CO₂. In this context, it is important to establish what (if any) aspects of the observed trends survive detailed examination of the impact of past changes of radiosonde instrumentation and protocol within the various international networks.     

中国东部极端降水变化特征及其与大气稳定度的关系

利用100°E以东地区通过5%质量控制的392个站逐日降水资料,对近50 a我国东部极端降水变化特征进行分析,并以1948—1976年和1977—2008年为研究子时段,讨论前后两阶段东部地区的大气湿位涡差异及大气稳定度状况。结果表明:我国东部地区极端降水表现出显著的南北差异;北方尤其是华北东部,极端降水量及其所占降水量比例均有下降趋势,而南方尤其是在长江中下游地区二者均呈增加趋势。湿位涡呈"南减北增"的趋势,对流稳定度和斜压稳定度在南方均出现变弱趋势,在北方则增强。大气性质的南北显著变化是我国东部地区极端降水呈"南增北减"分布型的一个重要原因。进一步研究表明,高纬度地区300 hPa层在1976年之后表现为温度负距平场中心,使东部地区高空热力性质产生差异,进而影响了对流稳定度的变化;同时冷中心北侧高层西风分量减小,南侧高层西风风量增大,斜压稳定度相应出现减弱和增强的变化趋势。     

Vertical structure of recent arctic warming from observed data and reanalysis products

Spatiotemporal patterns of recent (1979–2008) air temperature trends are evaluated using three reanalysis datasets and radiosonde data. Our analysis demonstrates large discrepancies between the reanalysis datasets, possibly due to differences in the data assimilation procedures as well as sparseness and inhomogeneity of high-latitude observations. We test the robustness of arctic tropospheric warming based on the ERA-40 dataset. ERA-40 Arctic atmosphere temperatures tend to be closer to the observed ones in terms of root mean square error compared to other reanalysis products used in the article. However, changes in the ERA-40 data assimilation procedure produce unphysical jumps in atmospheric temperatures, which may be the likely reason for the elevated tropospheric warming trend in 1979–2002. NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis data show that the near-surface upward temperature trend over the same period is greater than the tropospheric trend, which is consistent with direct radiosonde observations and inconsistent with ERA-40 results. A change of sign in the winter temperature trend from negative to positive in the late 1980s is documented in the upper troposphere/lower stratosphere with a maximum over the Canadian Arctic, based on radiosonde data. This change from cooling to warming tendency is associated with weakening of the stratospheric polar vortex and shift of its center toward the Siberian coast and possibly can be explained by the changes in the dynamics of the Arctic Oscillation. This temporal pattern is consistent with multi-decadal variations of key arctic climate parameters like, for example, surface air temperature and oceanic freshwater content. Elucidating the mechanisms behind these changes will be critical to understanding the complex nature of high-latitude variability and its impact on global climate change.     

2009年石家庄地区不同天气条件下大气气溶胶分布特征

利用2009年石家庄地区的4次机载PMS探测资料,对不同天气条件下大气气溶胶的数浓度、平均直径垂直分布和谱分布及一次晴天条件下的水平分布进行分析。结果表明：PCASP 探头探测的0.1-3.0 μm气溶胶粒子最大数浓度的量级为102-104 cm-3之间,平均值量级为102-103 cm-3之间,平均直径最大值介于0.225-0.717 μm,平均值介于0.148-0.167 μm。晴天条件下,气溶胶的数浓度随高度递减,直径随高度变化不大;逆温层底气溶胶明显积累,气溶胶浓度在大气边界层内明显高于其他层次;阴天轻雾情况下边界层内的气溶胶数浓度大于雨天和晴天,雨天气溶胶浓度最低;晴天气溶胶数浓度的水平分布不均匀;在云中气溶胶浓度明显下降,在云外气溶胶浓度较高。不同天气条件和晴天不同高度情况下,石家庄地区气溶胶谱型呈单峰分布,小于0.3 μm的细粒子对气溶胶的数浓度贡献最大,且随着高度的增加谱宽变窄。     

1949—2019 年影响山东的热带气旋时空分布及极端降水和大气环流异常

使用中国气象局热带气旋资料中心的热带气旋最佳路径数据集和NCEP/NCAR再分析资料提供的月平均数据,对北上影响山东的热带气旋（tropical cyclone,TC）及其造成的极端降水进行统计分析,并揭示了有利于 TC北移影响山东的大气环流特征。结果表明：影响山东的 TC主要出现 于 6—9 月,其中盛夏时节（7、8 月）TC对山东影响最大;TC影响山东时,强度主要为台风及以下等 级,或已发生变性;TC会引发山东极端降水事件,TC极端降水多出现在夏秋季（7—9 月）,其中8月的占比最大,9月次之,TC降水在极端降水事件中的占比约为 10%,但年际变化大,有些年份占比达60%以上,特别是1990 年以来 TC对极端降水的贡献显著增强;影响山东的 TC主要生成于西 北太平洋,多为转向型路径;当500 hPa位势高度异常场呈太平洋一日本遥相关型的正位相时,TC更易北上影响山东,此时西北太平洋副热带高压位置偏北,其外围气流会引导TC北上转向,对华东地区造成影响;850 hPa上,南海至西北太平洋存在异常气旋式环流,对流活跃,夏季风环流和季风槽加强,有利于TC的生成和发展,同时,华东、华南上空有异常上升运动,涡度增大,垂直风切变减小,水汽充沛,TC登陆后强度能得到较好的维持。     

2000—2015年华北地区8月极端干旱的异常环流型及其波活动特征

利用1961—2015年华北地区54个国家级气象观测站夏季8月逐日降水资料和2000—2015年欧洲中期天气预报中心(ECMWF)再分析数据,研究了华北地区8月极端干旱的异常环流型及原因。结果表明:华北地区极端干旱事件以年际变化为主,2000—2015年华北地区极端干旱年在中高纬500 hPa高度距平场上存在“-、+、-、+”的异常波列结构,乌拉尔山西部地区上空存在较强的反气旋性距平使得暖脊加强向北收缩,同时贝加尔湖上空存在较强的反气旋性距平使得此处的高空脊强度异常加强,影响范围加大,这种异常环流形势导致高空脊前干冷西北气流输送到华北地区。欧洲西部地区是北半球中高纬波作用通量的关键区,该地区地表2 m温度呈明显增加趋势,同时该关键区对应的500 hPa垂直波作用通量TNZ也呈现明显增加趋势。由于异常热力强迫作用激发出EU波列,低层能量向上传输,高层能量向外频散影响下游乌拉尔山西部地区暖脊加强,造成中高纬环流异常,导致华北地区极端干旱事件频发。     

重庆秋季降水特征及大气环流异常分析

利用重庆1960-2006年秋季降水量计算了重庆地区秋季区域降水指数,采用相关与合成分析、线性趋势估计、Mann-Kendall突变检测方法和小波分析等统计诊断方法分析了重庆秋季降水变化特征及其与同期和前期大气环流的关系.结果表明:重庆秋季降水偏多、偏少年同期及前期中高纬度地区高度场距平都有明显的差异.前期冬季北太平洋中纬度地区对流层高度距平为正,加拿大西部对流层高度距平为负时,秋季重庆降水异常偏多,具有一定的预测意义.在此基础上定义了影响重庆地区秋季降水的前期因子.     

秦岭邻近地区旬降水气候学及其大气环流特征

利用秦岭及其邻近地区76个气象台1961～2000年的旬降水量和NCEP／NCAR850hPa格点风场资料。分析了该地区的降水气候时空特征及其与大气环流变化的联系。结果表明。秦岭地区多年平均汛期出现在6月下旬至10月上旬，其间7月上旬和9月上旬先后出现两次降水峰值。该地区平均汛期降水量为403mm，占年总降水量的60％。秦岭南侧气候平均汛期降水量明显高于秦岭北侧，但秦岭南、北汛期降水年际变化基本一致。从流场分析看，秦岭及其邻近地区的汛期降水既受西南季风，又受到东南季风系统的影响。合成分析表明，汛期降水量偏多(少)的年份通常对应于同期对流层低层研究区南侧偏南气流的增强(减弱)。回归分析发现，汛期中旬雨量增加与超前2旬索马里急流和热带印度洋西南气流增强。以及超前1旬及同期台湾附近距平反气旋的发展密切相关。     

东北夏季降水分型及其大气环流特征

利用1961—2010年中国东北122站逐日降水资料、NCEP/NCAR再分析资料及中国国家气候中心整理的160站月平均温度资料,对东北6月、7月、8月的降水进行分型,在此基础上分析各类降水型对应的环流形势。结果表明:东北6月、7月、8月降水均可划分为两大类四小类,6月与8月的分型结果相同,为全区一致型(同多型、同少型)和南北反位相型(南部型、北部型),7月可分为全区一致型(同多型、同少型)和东西反位相型(东部型、西部型)。6月东北降水主要受东北冷涡影响,冷涡越强,降水越多,且当鄂霍次克海阻塞高压出现明显异常时,6月东北降水将呈现南北反位相特征;7月、8月降水主要受东亚夏季风影响,其中东北降水全区一致型与西太平洋副热带高压的位置以及沿亚洲西风急流东传的波列有关,而降水南北(东西)反位相型则与西太平洋副热带高压的强度有关。     

2012年盛夏我国多台风特征及环流背景初步分析

利用西太平洋编号台风资料、NOAA卫星观测的地球向外长波辐射（OLR）资料、全球海表温度（SST）资料以及NCEP/NCAR逐日再分析资料,对2012年7—8月西太平洋地区生成并登陆或影响我国的台风特征及大尺度环流背景进行了初步分析。结果表明：7月中旬至8月底是当年台风生成和登陆的高度集中期,登陆比例之高、对我国影响范围之大等特征实属罕见;南亚高压偏强,中高纬＂两脊一槽＂环流型,东北地区为高压脊区,副热带高压稳定、强度增强且偏西偏北是这一时期的大气环流特征;副热带高压脊线位置在30°N以北有利台风初生,其南界位置偏北时,有利于部分台风生成于较高纬度,西伸指数持续偏高有利于台风集中登陆;夏季风明显增强和季风槽（ITCZ）位置变化、7—8月西太平洋SST正异常和OLR负异常可能是造成台风多发的原因,异常区域北界偏北也许是造成台风生成纬度偏北的原因。
