Numerical case study of the Altai-Sayan lee cyclogenesis over East Asia

Summary Climatological studies show that the Altai-Sayan lee side is one of the major cyclogenesis areas in the Northern Hemisphere. In case of the Altai-Sayan lee cyclogenesis, the surface cyclone is generated when a primary cyclone is swept north of the mountains. In the mid-troposphere, a trough develops and finally turns into a cutoff low within 48 h. The main synoptic features are similar to those of Alpine cyclogenesis. Numerical simulations are performed to assess the effect of different representation of orography on the Altai-Sayan cyclogenesis. Two experiments are performed, a step-mountain (ETA) and an envelope orography (SGM) experiment. The ETA experiment produced the cyclogenesis in a way similar to that in the analysis both at the surface and at mid-troposphere. The SGM experiment failed in the simulation of the upper cutoff low. The difference in predicted pressure between the ETA and the SGM experiment shows a dipolar structure suggesting that the blocking effect of the mountains is essential in the development of the Altai-Sayan lee cyclogenesis.With 7 Figures     

土壤湿度对东亚夏季气候潜在可预报性影响的数值模拟

利用全球大气环流模式NCARCAM3进行了在给定的观测海温条件下的22a（1979—2000年）5—8月的2组集合试验。运用方差分析方法,分析了在气候态和年际变化的表层土壤湿度情况下,CAM3模式模拟的东亚夏季气候潜在可预报性及其差异。结果表明：在给定的观测海温条件下,采用气候态的土壤湿度时,CAM3模式模拟的东亚夏季气候的潜在可预报性偏低;而采用年际变化的土壤湿度时,模拟的夏季气候潜在可预报性有所提高,尤其是在中国西北地区;后者模拟的中国西北地区夏季降水和气温的潜在可预报性比前者的模拟结果提高0．1以上。其原因可能是：采用年际变化的土壤湿度时,模式可以更好地模拟出中国西北地区的地表蒸发量和湍流热通量的年际变化,进而使得模式对该地区夏季气候的预报技巧得到提高。     

Numerical Simulation of Long-Term Climate Change in East Asia

A 10-yr regional climate simulation was performed using the fifth-generation PSU/NCAR Mesoscale Model Version 3 (MM5V3) driven by large-scale NCEP/NCAR reanalyses. Simulations of winter and summer mean regional climate features were examined against observations. The results showed that the model could well simulate the 10-yr winter and summer mean circulation, temperature, and moisture transport at middle and low levels. The simulated winter and summer mean sea level pressure agreed with the NCAR/NCEP reanalysis data. The model could well simulate the distribution and intensity of winter mean precipitation rates as well as the distribution of summer mean precipitation rates, but it overestimated the summer mean precipitation over North China. The model's ability to simulate the regional climate change in winter was superior to that in summer. In addition, the model could simulate the inter-annual variation of seasonal precipitation and surface air temperature. Geopotential heights and temperature at middle and high levels between simulations and observations exhibited high anomaly correlation coefficients. The model also showed large variability to simulate the regional climate change associated with the El Nino events. The MM5V3 well simulated the anomalies of summer mean precipitation in 1992 and 1995, while it demonstrated much less ability to simulate that in 1998. Generally speaking, the MM5V3 is capable of simulating the regional climate change, and could be used for long-term regional climate simulation.     

复杂网络方法在东亚地区夏季极端降水研究中的应用

利用1971-2007年东亚地区夏季（6-8月）逐日格点降水资料,借助事件同步法建立格点之间的非线性相关,构建了极端降水复杂网络,从复杂网络的角度研究了东亚地区极端降水的区域性特征,并利用复杂网络中的关联强度和关联方向信息,从极端降水时、空记忆性的角度构建了预测模型。复杂网络结构特征量表明:北部陆地地区的夏季极端降水空间同步性好,而沿海地区的夏季极端降水空间同步性差。不同地区的格点与周围格点的关联空间范围不一样,沿海地区格点之间远距离连接少,关联空间范围小,北部陆地地区格点之间远距离连接多,关联空间范围较大。极端降水预测模拟结果显示沿海地区的预测准确率一般高于北部陆地地区,其原因是该地区极端降水强度大、降水密集度高且空间格点的平均连接距离小、直接关联性强。研究表明,从时、空记忆的角度构建的预测模型对东亚地区的极端降水具有一定的预测能力,在极端降水研究中存在一定的潜在应用价值。      

A numerical case study of a cold air outbreak over East Asia during late spring

Summary A case study of a late spring cold air outbreak associated with heavy rainfall and snow storms over East Asia is carried out with a numerical model. This was the most severe case over northern China in 50 years. In the lower troposphere, the evolution of the edge anticyclone and the northerly low-level orographic jet east of Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau are well simulated in the ECMWF limited area model but the associated cold surge is under predicted. In the experiments with envelope and valley filled orography, results are improved. Neither cold surge nor strong frontogenesis is simulated in a no latent heating experiment, indicating that the feedback of latent heat release is quite essential to the burst of cold air in this case.With 9 Figures     

引起我国夏季旱涝的东亚大气环流异常遥相关及其物理机制的研究

本文综述了引起我国夏季旱涝的东亚大范围、持续性大气环流异常遥相关方面的国内外研究状况。本文特别强调了关于夏季东亚大气环流异常遥相关物理机制的研究,其中不少研究是作者多年努力的成果。本文还指出在这方面应进一步研究的问题。     

夏季印度洋海温偶极子对冬季东亚高空急流的影响研究

基于1979—2019年ERA5、NCEP/NCAR再分析资料及多套海温资料,分析夏季印度洋偶极子模态对东亚高空急流的影响,并对热力动力机制展开探讨。结果表明,当夏季印度洋偶极子为正(负)位相,即夏季印度洋西部出现暖(冷)异常,东部出现冷(暖)异常时,冬季的东亚副热带急流增强(减弱),极锋急流强度减弱(增强)。伴随着印度洋偶极子位于正位相,增强(减弱)的经向温度梯度,加强(减少)的低层大气斜压性和较强(较弱)的瞬变涡动动能,易导致冬季的副热带急流增强(极锋急流减弱)。进一步利用多元线性回归方法定量区分热力和动力因子的相对贡献,夏季印度洋偶极子主要通过热力作用影响两支急流。比较两个动力因子发现,极锋急流的减弱主要以大气斜压性为主,而副热带急流的加强则以涡动动能为主。     

东亚夏季海陆热力对比对全球变暖的响应

利用耦合模式比较20世纪气候模拟试验和21世纪SRES(Special Report on Emissions Scenarios)A1B情景气候预估试验结果,探讨了东亚区域海陆热力对比对全球变暖的响应。首先通过超级集合方法,重建了20世纪40a(1960—1999年)和预估了21世纪40 a(2020—2059年)东亚地区的海陆热力对比;在此基础上,分析了东亚夏季海陆热力对比的过去40 a的变化特征及其未来的可能变化趋势。结果表明,超级集合的方法能够有效地降低单个模式存在的不确定性,其结果优于多模式的算术平均结果。利用超级集合方法能够很好地再现1960—1999年间海陆热力差指数的变化特征,并且有效地降低与再分析资料的均方根误差。进一步分析发现,陆面温度在全球变暖背景下变化较明显,尤其在华南地区存在显著增温;而东亚大陆季风区,存在明显的降温趋势。利用超级集合方法预估未来海陆热力对比的结果表明,在2040年前存在较强的海陆热力差,而2050后海陆热力对比有减弱趋势。     

Causes of mid-Pliocene strengthened summer and weakened winter monsoons over East Asia

The mid-Pliocene warm period was the most recent geological period in Earth's history that featured long-term warming.Both geological evidence and model results indicate that East Asian summer winds(EASWs) strengthened in monsoonal China, and that East Asian winter winds(EAWWs) weakened in northern monsoonal China during this period, as compared to the pre-industrial period. However, the corresponding mechanisms are still unclear. In this paper, the results of a set of numerical simulations are reported to analyze the effects of changed boundary conditions on the mid-Pliocene East Asian monsoon climate, based on PRISM3(Pliocene Research Interpretation and Synoptic Mapping) palaeoenvironmental reconstruction. The model results showed that the combined changes of sea surface temperatures, atmospheric CO2 concentration,and ice sheet extent were necessary to generate an overall warm climate on a large scale, and that these factors exerted the greatest effects on the strengthening of EASWs in monsoonal China. The orographic change produced significant local warming and had the greatest effect on the weakening of EAWWs in northern monsoonal China in the mid-Pliocene. Thus,these two factors both had important but different effects on the monsoon change. In comparison, the effects of vegetational change on the strengthened EASWs and weakened EAWWs were relatively weak. The changed monsoon winds can be explained by a reorganization of the meridional temperature gradient and zonal thermal contrast. Moreover, the effect of orbital parameters cannot be ignored. Results showed that changes in orbital parameters could have markedly affected the EASWs and EAWWs, and caused significant short-term oscillations in the mid-Pliocene monsoon climate in East Asia.     

东亚夏季副热带平原和高原地区切变线特征的对比研究

生成于东部平原地区的江淮切变线和西部青藏高原地区的高原切变线,都处在东亚副热带相同纬度带上。为深化对地形高度迥异的江淮切变线和高原切变线的认识与理解,基于ERA-interim再分析资料和合成分析方法,从切变线与暴雨关系、切变线三维结构特征、切变线附近风场与环流特征以及切变线结构演变中的热力机制等方面对二者进行对比研究。结果表明:（1）江淮切变线分为暖切变线、冷切变线、准静止切变线和低涡切变线4类,高原切变线分为高原横切变线和高原竖切变线2类。江淮切变线与高原切变线均与暴雨关系密切,夏季,有近70%的江淮切变线会产生暴雨,暖切变线暴雨对江淮地区切变线暴雨的雨量贡献最大,低涡切变线暴雨的降水强度最大但发生频率较低;近60%的高原横切变线给高原主体地区带来暴雨,超过55%的竖切变线造成高原东侧及其邻近地区暴雨。（2）江淮切变线与高原切变线均为边界层系统,特征层次分别位于850 hPa和500 hPa。时空尺度上,江淮冷切变线和高原横切变线水平尺度分别可达1000 km和2000 km,垂直伸展厚度分别可达5 km和2 km,生命期分别可达48 h和96 h;江淮切变线和高原横切变线在垂直方向上均有从低到高向北倾斜的特征。（3）江淮冷切变线与高原横切变线风场与环流特征存在差异,江淮冷切变线北侧为东北风,南侧为西南风;高原横切变线东、西两段风场有所不同,其西段类似于江淮冷切变线,东段在不同发展阶段风场有明显变化。（4）江淮冷切变线与高原横切变线的动力结构和热力结构存在差异。动力结构上,二者均位于正涡度带内,正涡度中心强度都在强盛阶段达到最大。热力结构上,江淮冷切变线附近低空锋区特征明显,其西段位于暖湿区内,东段位于干冷区内;高原横切变线南侧具有明显的高温、高湿特征,切变线北侧存在锋区结构。（5）切变线附近的大气非绝热加热与高原横切变线和江淮冷切变线演变关系密切,垂直非均匀加热作用是高原横切变线和江淮冷切变线发展增强最为重要的因子。二者热力结构有差异,减弱机制不同,干冷空气的侵入会导致高原横切变线强度减弱甚至消亡,江淮冷切变线的强度减弱则与南方暖湿空气的向北侵入有关。      

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。     

TRMM测雨雷达对1998年东亚降水季节性特征的研究

利用热带测雨计划卫星上的测雨雷达得到的降水资料,对1998年东亚降水,特别是中国大陆东部、东海和南海的降水,进行了分析研究,并对比了热带降水研究结果。年统计结果表明,东亚地区层状云降水出现概率极高(比面积达83.7％),对流云降水的比面积仅占13.6％,然而两者对总降水量的贡献相当。结果还表明,暖对流云降水出现的比例和对总降水量的贡献很小。在季节尺度,对流云和层状云降水的比与两者的面积比成比例关系。除夏季外,测雨雷达降水量与GPCP降水量可比性好。研究结果还指出:在中纬度陆地和海洋上对流云和层状云的比降水量和比面积呈相反方向作季节性南北移动,这一活动与东亚季风变化一致;该地区降水的季节性变化还表现为降水垂直廓线的变化。除冬季外,南海地区降水垂直结构呈热带特征。CRAD分析表明,对流云降水的地面雨强变化大,尤其在陆地上,而层状云多表现为地面弱降水。     

Influences of external forcing changes on the summer cooling trend over East Asia

Observations indicate a surface cooling trend during the East Asian summer in recent decades, against a background of global warming. This cooling trend is re-examined using station data from 1951 to 2007, and atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) simulations are performed to investigate the possible influence of changes in external forcing. The numerical experiments are designed to investigate the effects of four types of external forcing: greenhouse gases (GHGs), Total Solar Irradiance (TSI), ozone, and the direct effects of aerosols. Results indicate that external forcing contributes to the cooling trend over East Asia. Furthermore, GHGs, and to a lesser degree the direct effects of aerosols, are the main contributors to the cooling trend. The possible linkages between the external forcings and the cooling trend are discussed.     

GRIST模式夏季气候回测试验中东亚降水季节内特征的评估

将自主研发的包含对流参数化、宏观云凝结、云微观物理参数化在内的湿物理过程（简称PhysCN）引入全球-区域一体化预测系统（Global-to-Regional Integrated forecast SysTem,GRIST）。通过大气模式比较计划（AMIP）10 a连续积分考察了PhysCN较原有方案（简称PhysC）对模拟的全球气候基本态的影响。结果显示,PhysCN更真实地重现了热带降水的气候分布特征和季节变化。相比PhysC,PhysCN减少了赤道辐合带（ITCZ）、热带太平洋和印度洋上空的虚假降水,改善了双ITCZ偏差。PhysCN在热带对流层顶附近和中、高纬度地区形成了比PhysC更多的冰云,增强了长波云辐射效应。但另一方面,由于单冰云微物理方案中采用一个变量类别考虑所有冰相粒子,导致中、高纬度低层云冰比湿比PhysC中更大。宏观云凝结中采用基于冰面相对湿度的方法诊断冰云量,使低云更密实,减弱了短波云辐射效应,也使全球净辐射收支偏差大于PhysC模拟结果。研究证明了PhysCN湿物理方案在GRIST模式中的稳定性与合理性,但也展示出冰云诊断和云微物理参数化的协调性有待进一步改进。     

东亚夏季PJ遥相关型的年际及年代际变化机理

利用夏季东亚地区500 h Pa高度场和菲律宾附近的降水场进行SVD分析,将东亚500 h Pa高度场对应的时间序列定义为PJ指数,该指数不仅清楚地反映PJ型的年际变化,而且反应出PJ型的年代际变化,即500 h Pa高度场型态在20世纪70年代末由"气旋、反气旋、气旋"型突变为"反气旋、气旋、反气旋"型。本文研究表明PJ指数的年际变化与ENSO事件有密切的联系:El Ni1o事件通过电容器充电效应使印度洋海温增暖,而增暖的印度洋海温在菲律宾海附近强迫出异常反气旋,并沿东亚沿岸激发出PJ遥相关型。而PJ型态的年代际变化与热带印度洋SST的持续增暖有关。虽然许多学者认为是菲律宾附近海温异常引起对流异常,并沿东亚沿岸激发出PJ遥相关型,但我们认为该区域的海温变化并不是造成PJ型年际和年代际变化的原因,而是由于该区域有反气旋(或者气旋)异常,从而辐射增加(减少),蒸发减弱(增加),温跃层下降(上升),SST变暖(变冷),该区域的海温变暖意味着对流是减弱的。本文进一步利用大气环流模式ECHAM5.4进行数值试验,结果表明:当热带印度洋增暖时,在菲律宾海附近强迫出反气旋,并沿东亚激发出"反气旋、气旋、反气旋"PJ遥相关型。     

不同边界层参数化方案对东亚夏季风气候模拟的对比研究

用WRF v3.2.1中尺度预报模式和NCEP/NCAR再分析资料,对比研究了WRF模式中5个不同边界层参数化方案对东亚夏季风气候的模拟效果。结果表明:WRF模式对各边界层参数化方案均较为敏感,采用不同的边界层参数化方案对模拟区域内的夏季降水、气温、环流等气候要素均可产生明显影响。选取MYJ方案和QNSE方案对500 h Pa夏季平均环流的模拟效果较好,YSU方案和QNSE方案对夏季平均日降水量模拟与再分析资料更吻合,YSU方案和MYNN2.5方案对中国东部2 m气温的模拟结果较好。不同边界层参数化方案模拟结果都显示出由于副热带高压偏强,使副热带高压第2次北跳后停留时间过短,导致长江中下游降水偏少,华北地区降水增多。通过比较YSU和QNSE边界层方案,发现YSU方案相比QNSE方案的降水差异,是由于850 h Pa水汽输送造成的。在中国大部分地区YSU方案的2 m温度比QNSE方案高,并且地面2 m气温和降水存在一定对应关系。因此合理选取边界层参数化方案可以提高数值模拟的准确性。     

Intercomparison of precipitation simulated by regional climate models over East Asia in 1997 and 1998

Regional climate simulations in Asia from May 1997 to August 1998 were performed using the Seoul National University regional climate model （SNURCM） and Iowa State University regional climate model （ALT.MM5/LSM）, which were developed by coupling the NCAR/Land Surface Model （LSM） and the Mesoscale Model （MM5）. However, for physical processes of precipitation, the SNURCM used the Grell scheme for the convective parameterization scheme （CPS） and the simple ice scheme for the explicit moisture scheme （EMS）, while the ALT.MM5/LSM used the Betts-Miller scheme for CPS and the mixed phase scheme for EMS.
The simulated precipitation patterns and amounts over East Asia for the extreme climatic summer in 1997 （relative drought conditions） and 1998 （relative flood conditions） were especially focused upon. The ALT.MM5/LSM simulated more precipitation than was observed in 1997 due to more moisture and cloud water in the lower levels, despite weak upward motion. In the SNURCM, strong upward motion resulted in more precipitation than that was observed in 1998, with more moisture and cloud water in the middle levels. In the ALT.MM5/LSM, weak upward motion, unchanged moisture in the lower troposphere, and the decrease in latent heat flux at the surface increased convective precipitation only by 3% for the 1998 summer event. In the SNURCM, strong upward motion, the increase in moisture in the lower troposphere, and the increase in latent heat flux at the surface increased convective precipitation by 48% for the summer of 1998. The main differences between both simulations were moisture availability and horizontal momentum transport in the lower troposphere, which were also strongly influenced by large-scale forcing.     

东亚中纬度夏季陆面增暖与土壤湿度异常的联系

利用1979—2015年ERA-Interim再分析土壤湿度、云量资料,NCEP/NCAR再分析环流资料和CPC土壤湿度资料,分析了东亚中纬度夏季陆面热力异常的时空分布特征及其与前期春季土壤湿度异常的联系,探讨了前期春季土壤湿度影响东亚中纬度夏季陆面增暖的可能途径。结果表明,东亚中纬度夏季土壤表层温度呈全区一致增暖趋势,其中贝加尔湖及以南地区温度变化最剧烈、增暖最迅速,且1990年代中期前后存在一个明显由冷向暖的年代际转变。进一步分析发现,春、夏季西西伯利亚到贝加尔湖北部地区的土壤湿度与夏季贝加尔湖及以南地区的土壤表层温度在年代际和年际尺度上均存在紧密联系:西西伯利亚到贝加尔湖北部地区土壤湿度异常偏高,通常对应贝加尔湖及南部地区夏季土壤表层温度偏高。西西伯利亚到贝加尔湖北部地区春、夏土壤湿度异常可以引起夏季大气环流异常,从而对东亚夏季中纬度陆面热力异常产生影响:春、夏土壤湿度偏高时,贝加尔湖及其南部地区上空位势高度为正异常,对应为反气旋性异常环流,云量减少,有利于东亚中纬度陆面增暖;反之,则对应为气旋性异常环流,不利于陆面增暖。     

东亚冬夏季风关系在1970s末的年代际转变

利用NCEP/NCAR和Hadley中心的大气与海洋再分析资料,选取具有代表性的东亚冬、夏季风指数,采用滑动相关和线性回归等方法,主要讨论了受ENSO影响的东亚冬季风分量和后期夏季风之间关系的年代际变化,并分析了二者关系发生变化的原因。结果表明:在1965—1979年,受ENSO影响的冬季风与后期夏季风强度的对应关系并不明显。在1980—2004年,受ENSO影响的冬季风强,对应后期的夏季风偏弱,弱冬季风对应的后期夏季风偏强。当受ENSO影响的冬季风较强时,冬季在对流层低层西北太平洋出现了异常气旋并可以维持到次年夏季,低纬地区位势高度偏低,削弱了西太平洋副热带高压,异常气旋西部的偏北气流阻碍了西南风的北进,导致夏季风偏弱。海表温度异常在1980年前后春、夏季不同的分布型可以解释环流在不同时段内的差异。
