TURBULENCE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ATMOSPHERIC SURFACE LAYER OVER AN OPEN GRASSLAND

Described in this paper is an experiment on atmosphere-surface turbulent exchange andboundary layer turbulence properties conducted in July 1994 over the Kerqin Grassland,Jilin,China.The characteristics of the turbulent spectrum,and the relationships of the standarddeviation of the turbulent velocity components and sensible heat flux with the atmospheric stabilityare studied using data from a sonic anemometer and a fast-response platinum resistancethermometer mounted on a 100 m tower.The results show that in the surface layer over a flat,uniform and open grassland,for a broad stability range(-22.12≤Z_(?)L≤17.98),the velocityspectra obey the-2/3 power law in the inertial subrange,and 1 power law at low frequencies.Under near neutral stratification,σ_u/u_*=1.20,σ_v/u_*=1.23 and σ_w/u_*=1.02.For Z_i/L≤-0.2,the standard deviations of the turbulent velocity components follow a 1/3 power law.ForZ_i/L≤-0.1,the standard deviation of the temperature fluctuations follows a-1/3 power law,and as Z_i/L≤-0.08,it exhibits nonlinear behavior.Sensible heat flux is well correlated to thestability parameter.     

SPECTRAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SURFACE-LAYER TURBULENCE OVER THE SUBURBS OF TIANJIN*

The paper computed the spectra of velocity and temperature,and the cospectra of velocity and temperature by the observational data of July,1990 in the suburbs of Tianjin.The results show that the characteristics of the atmospheric turbulence spectra over the suburbs are basically in accordance with some typical results over the flat terrain.But the scale,on which turbulence can satisfy the isotropic condition,over the suburbs is larger than over the flat terrain.The spectrum peak frequency range is a bit narrower.The feature of the spectrum range in low frequency(LF) is out of accordance with that of the flat terrain either.     

TURBULENCE STRUCTURE AND TRANSFER CHARACTERISTICS IN THE SURFACE LAYER OF HEIFE GOBI AREA*

Based on the HEIFE 1988 and 1990 pilot observations,an analysis on the turbulence structure of Gobi surface layer,mainly on the similarity formulations of wind and temperature variances,the spectra and cospectra characteristics,is presented.The phenomenon of downward water vapor flux over Gobi desert in daytime is confirmed in both observations,this and the well-known‘oasis effect’are two sides of a local mesoscale circulation.     

EXPERIMENT ON THE FORECAST OF CHARACTERISTIC QUANTITIES OF ATMOSPHERIC TURBULENCE BY MESOSCALE MODEL MM5*

In nested nonhydrostatic mesoscale model MM5,the characteristic quantities of atmospheric turbulence,i.e.,the standard deviations of the turbulent fluctuated speeds for three directions in PBL are computed by Mellor-Yamada's level 2.5 closure scheme.The magnitudes and the vertical profiles of these quantities computed from the model are closely connected with temperature and wind speed profiles as well as the type of the ground with a significant diurnal variation,and are in agreement with known magnitudes and regularities in different stratification conditions.Hence the method in this paper is reasonable and convincible.Their horizontal distribution depends on the horizontal distribution of the stratification.The method of predicted characteristic quantities of turbulence from mesoscale model in this paper can be used in the problem of atmospheric diffusion and atmospheric environment.     

ATMOSPHERIC TURBULENCE STRUCTURE AND SPECTRAL CHARACTERISTICS AT NEAR SURFACE LAYER ON TROPICAL COASTS

By use of an observational experiment at the village of Tianwei, Haikou, Hainan province in 1990,characteristic turbulence values such as velocity component spectra and turbulence intensity are studied.The data were mostly obtained in cloudy condition, so that the stability parameter (L) and thermal flux (wt) did not vary diurnally while the turbulent energy and mean-temperature did. The basic characteristics of turbulence spectra are similar to those with fine weather, hems close to local isotropy in the inertial subrange. The velocity spectra agree with the law of "-2/3 th power"in Kolmogrov's similarity theory. The relationship between turbulent intensity of components δ_i/U (i=u,v,w) and stability Z/L is studied follow ins the Monim-Obukhov(M-O) similarity theory. It is shown that the two observe the law of "1/3 th power", though the turbulent intensity and energy are generally larger than those on the flat underlying topography.

CHARACTERISTICS OF 10-DAY MEAN SURFACE SENSIBLE HEAT FLUX VARIATIONS IN THE SCS MONSOON REGION AND POSSIBLE CONNECTIONS WITH THE SCS SUMMER MONSOON ONSET*

The time and space variations of the ten-day mean surface sensible heat flux have been analyzed in this paper based on the data of NCEP/NCAR from January of 1979 to December of 1995 in the South China Sea (SCS) monsoon region.It is found that large variations of the surface sensible heat flux standard deviations exist in the northwestern Indochina Peninsula and the Indian Peninsula regions,and their locations and strength change significantly during the onset period of SCS monsoon.The negative deviations appear evidently earlier in the Indocbina Peninsula than in the Indian Peninsula but the deviation strength in the Indian Peninsula is stronger than that in the Indochina Peninsula.The appearance of the zonal negative mean deviations in the southern part of the Indochina Peninsula corresponds to the date of the SCS summer monsoon onset,while the occurrence of the deviation decrease corresponds to the date of the South Asian monsoon onset.The sensible heat flux increases dekad by dekad before the onset of the summer monsoon in the Indian Peninsula and the Indochina Peninsula and decreases after the monsoon onset.Therefore,the surface sensible heat flux changes in the Indochina and the Indian Peninsula regions maybe have some connections with the SCS monsoon onset and the Indian monsoon onset,and the Indochina Peninsula maybe becomes the sensitive or key region to the SCS monsoon onset and the land maybe plays an important role in triggering summer monsoon onset.

THE CHARACTERISTICS OF TURBULENT TRANSPORT IN THE SURFACE LAYER OVER EASTERN TIBET DURING SUMMER 1986

The turbulent fluxes for sensible and latent heat and momentum are computed and analyses are carried outabout the factors in terms of the fluxes,with the profile methods,based on the data from the Tibetan(Xi-zang)Plateau Meteorological Experiment in 1986(TIPMEX-86).It is shown that the fluxes of various kindshave evident diurnal variation,and each decade mean diurnal variation is quite different from others.Thesensible heat flux is about 2/3 less in July than in June.The results indicate that the averaged drag coefficient,C_d,and the averaged bulk transfer coefficient of sensible heat,C_h,are 0.0052 and 0.0075 respectively,for theperiod 13 to 28 in June for Nagqu.But for Lhasa,the mean C_d is 0.0056,and the mean C_h is 0.0085,for the period of June 11 to July 20.It is found that C_d and C_h are not only the function of wind velocity,but also influenced by stability conditions and wind and temperature gradients.

In the context of measurements from all the thermal balance stations over China,two methods of calculating surface latent heat for its climatic features are proposed through experiments with a range of schemes,one being the empirical type based on the relationship between ground latent heat and vapor pressure,and the other upon the Bowen ratio parameterization.Either of them has its unique merits so that they can be considered in specific case to have higher accuracy.On this basis,investigation is done of the feature of geographic distribution and annual variability of the heat across the country.

CHARACTERISTICS OF ATMOSPHERIC HEATING AND ATMOSPHERIC CIRCULATION DURING ACTIVE PERIOD OF 500 hPa HIGH OVER THE TIBETAN PLATEAU IN SUMMER*

In correspondence with the establishment of the "upper high and lower high" pressure pattern due to the activities of 500 hPa high over the Tibetan Plateau in summer,a series of changes of the East Asia atmospheric circulation will take place.In this paper,the distributions of divergence and vertical velocity of 500 hPa high,the evolutions of atmospheric heat source,the variations of vorticity and zonal wind at 100 hPa level and vertical meridional cell over the Tibetan Plateau etc.are statistically analyzed.Thus,we can see that the ascending motion and the convective heating over the Tibetan Plateau,the South Asia high and the westerly jet on the north of the Plateau at 100 hPa level are weakned.The northern branch and the southern branch of the easterly jet on the south of the Plateau merge into a single whole and situate on the south of the former northern branch.In the meantime,thermodynamic land-sea discrepancy in South Asia and the convective heating over the Bay of Bengal is enhanced.It will play an important role in the maintenance of the easterly jet and the South Asia monsoon.
