正压大气波动的4波共振和准共振

从准地转正压涡度方程，提出新的双时间尺度，首次导得了正压大气波动的４波准共振耦合方程，即广义Ｌａｎｄａｕ方程，利用新的守恒量，求得其甚低频周期解，其周期为一年左右，这可认为是实际大气中年际振荡的一种新的物理机制。并可求出４波准共振波矢。     

正压大气中地形波与自由Rossby波的四波准共振

本文研究了正压大气中一个地形波与三个自由Rossby波的四波准共振动力学特征。由含大地形的准地转正压涡度方程，引入双时间尺度，导得了地用波与自由Rossby波的四波准共振耦合方程组，并求得其低频周期解．由数值计算表明，对于Charney所用地形高度，此解正是准双周振荡。大地形强迫是激发三个自由Rossby波相互输送能量的重要物理机制，使得二个自由Rossby波同时向第3个2波型自由Rossby波输送能量以形成准双周振荡或阻塞。这一结果与观测事实也比较一致。     

500毫巴角动量输送波谱的周期变化

用三年冬半年15个月500毫巴逐日资料,计算写成谱函数形式的角动量涡动输送,研究其周期变化。输送总值(波数k=1—12的总和)盛行准两周的周期,逐年差别不大。k=3波输送值也盛行准两周周期,近于同输送总值同位相,而且负担了50％以上的输送总值。其他波数,k=2盛行26天左右周期,k=4盛行12天左右周期,但这些波的变化幅度比k=3波小得多。初步考察了准两周周期同寒潮的关系。 用解纬圈谱法,选例考察k=3波的槽脊走向和振幅,有同角动量输送准两周变化相应的变化。 最后采用功率谱和交叉谱的分析法,对1976—1977年角动量输送进行统计上处理,得到一些与定性分析相同的结果。     

我国西部降水量的准三年周期

本文利用我国西部110°E以西70个站的资料,用周期图和功率谱方法计算分析了降水量周期,发现最显著的周期是准三年周期,主要表现在35°N以北,即青藏高原的北侧,高原东北侧最明显。准三年周期主要表现在春季和夏季。从三十年代到七十年代准三年周期比较稳定。它的形成可能与南亚高压脊线准三年周期的南北振荡有关。另外,我国西部还存在着一个次要的周期是10—13年周期。     

不同尺度波动的非线性相互作用和大气的指数循环过程

本文用两层准地转截谱模式,考虑基本气流、超长波和长波之间的非线性相互作用,得出了大气环流指数循环这种准周期振荡过程,其周期为8—15天.数值计算表明:非线性相互作用可以产生大气行星波螺旋状槽线倾斜的谐振、不同尺度波动的振幅谐振以及大型环流波数变化的准周期振荡.     

大气中40—60天低频振荡形成的数值试验

观测资料的分析表明,40—60天的低频振荡,除了在赤道附近有向东的传播外,在副热带和高纬度带还存在向西传播的现象.本文利用正压原始方程的谱模式,加以与运动(辐散)相联系的强迫(相当于加热场),模拟这类低频振荡发现有两类波存在:一类是周期约为10—20天向东传播的行星波,另一类是周期为40—60天向西传播的低频波,它是前一类行星波的波包相速度,每天5—6经度,纬向波数为1.这类低频波的出现可能是行星波与加热场非线性相互作用的结果. 这里之所以没有得到东传的40—60天的低频波,可能是由于模式格点较疏,使赤道Kelvin波不能明显激发出来.     

中国西北东部汛期降水对青藏高原东部春季感热在准3a周期上的响应

利用1960—2010年中国西北东部地区39个气象站的逐日降水资料和NCEP/NCAR月平均地表感热通量再分析资料以及大气环流各要素场资料,通过多锥度-奇异值分解(MTM-SVD)等方法,分析了中国西北东部汛期降水、青藏高原东部春季感热的周期振荡特征以及它们在准周期循环上的协同耦合关系。结果表明,感热与降水均存在显著的准3 a周期,其耦合场在准3 a周期上表现也最为明显。当青藏高原东部春季感热在青藏高原主体上偏强(弱)时,对应中国西北东部汛期降水的异常偏多(少)。该准3 a周期循环上的协同关系在1960—1982年表现最为显著,1983—1990年为调整阶段,90年代之后又逐渐明显。青藏高原东部春季感热对大气环流的持续加热过程影响西北东部汛期降水,且主要体现在8月。     

非线性波 波相互作用对准２０ａ气候年代际振荡的影响

从简单海气耦合相互作用的非线性方程组出发,导出描述大气和海洋运动的无量纲准地转涡度方程．对准地转涡度方程引入双时间尺度后,在准共振条件Ｋ１＋Ｋ２＋Ｋ３ ＝０和ω１ ＋ω２ ＋ω３ ＝Δω下,求得大气和海洋波－波非线性相互作用的２组耦合方程,其中大气耦合方程中含有海洋强迫作用项．由这２个耦合方程组求得大气和海洋波动能量变化周期的近似解．结果表明：在考虑非线性效应的情况下,由波动共振引起的大气和海洋波动能量变化在中纬地区具有准２０ａ的周期,说明非线性效应对海气耦合也具有调制作用,从而确定准２０ａ气候年代际振荡形成的新机理．     

100毫巴准常定扰动对角动量输送的长期变化的初步分析

本文采用1956--1976年100毫巴月平均高度资料计算了各个季中月各个纬度带准常定扰动对角动量输送的谱,研究其季节变化和周期变化。计算表明,100毫巴等压面上准常定扰动对角动量的输送几乎全部由波数1—3的超长波完成的。各波输送在各个季节以及在高纬和低纬都呈现不同的特点。功率谱分析表明,在低纬(35°N以南)盛行13—14个月,28—29个月和57个月的周期。指出准两年振荡可能与1波输送和3波输送的相互作用有某种联系。     

热带东风急流的气候学和中期振荡

本文用13年夏半年(5—10月)月平均风场和两年逐日风场资料研究了200hPa南亚热带东风急流的气候学特征和中期振荡过程。研究表明,南亚夏季热带东风急流显著的非季节性变动和年际差异与低纬对流层高层大尺度环流变化和南亚夏季风活动密切相关,相对于多年平均而言,存在5类异常的东风急流。 各种分析表明,热带东风带存在三种主要的中期振荡。准50天周期振荡与夏季南亚对流层上部大尺度散度场的变化相关联,表现为十分显著的向南的位相传播。准50天和25天振荡均存在显著的年际变化。准50天周期振荡系统性不强的年份,准25天周期振荡是低纬行星波的主要振荡,在东风急流区除表现为系统性向西传播外也表现为向南的位相传播。准双周振荡在东风带一般向西传播。      

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.

Retrieval of outgoing longwave radiation from COMS narrowband infrared imagery

Hourly outgoing longwave radiation(OLR) from the geostationary satellite Communication Oceanography Meteorological Satellite(COMS) has been retrieved since June 2010. The COMS OLR retrieval algorithms are based on regression analyses of radiative transfer simulations for spectral functions of COMS infrared channels. This study documents the accuracies of OLRs for future climate applications by making an intercomparison of four OLRs from one single-channel algorithm(OLR12.0using the 12.0 μm channel) and three multiple-channel algorithms(OLR10.8+12.0using the 10.8 and 12.0 μm channels; OLR6.7+10.8using the 6.7 and 10.8 μm channels; and OLR All using the 6.7, 10.8, and 12.0 μm channels). The COMS OLRs from these algorithms were validated with direct measurements of OLR from a broadband radiometer of the Clouds and Earth's Radiant Energy System(CERES) over the full COMS field of view [roughly(50°S–50°N, 70°–170°E)] during April 2011.Validation results show that the root-mean-square errors of COMS OLRs are 5–7 W m-2, which indicates good agreement with CERES OLR over the vast domain. OLR6.7+10.8and OLR All have much smaller errors(～ 6 W m-2) than OLR12.0and OLR10.8+12.0(～ 8 W m-2). Moreover, the small errors of OLR6.7+10.8and OLR All are systematic and can be readily reduced through additional mean bias correction and/or radiance calibration. These results indicate a noteworthy role of the6.7 μm water vapor absorption channel in improving the accuracy of the OLRs. The dependence of the accuracy of COMS OLRs on various surface, atmospheric, and observational conditions is also discussed.
