与不同El Nino相伴的IOD事件的季节演变特征对比

基于1951—2012年逐月海洋和大气多种要素的再分析资料,分析了与两类El Nino相伴的IOD(Indian Ocean Dipole,印度洋偶极子)事件盛期的海洋和大气异常特征,并进一步对比了与不同类型El Nino相伴的IOD事件的季节演变及对应的海气耦合过程。结果表明:两类IOD事件盛期时,暖海温强度和位置有显著差异。发生在东部型El Nino期间的IOD事件(简称EP-IOD)盛期,正(负)SSTA中心出现在热带西北(赤道东南)印度洋,强度相当,对应的热带印度洋—海洋大陆异常Walker环流强度较强、范围较大;与中部型CP El Nino相伴的IOD事件(简称CP-IOD)的正SSTA相对较弱,且偏于南印度洋,异常Walker环流较弱、较窄。在季节演变中,两类IOD事件期间的局地海气过程差异显著,伴随着西印度洋西南季风减弱和东印度洋异常东风加强,EP-IOD事件的发展以西正东负的偶极型异常海温的出现及加强为主要特征;而CP-IOD事件的发生发展则与西北印度洋异常冷海温的生消及南印度洋暖水的堆积相伴,表现为"-+-"三极型SSTA的出现并转为西正东负偶极型的过程,夏季时出现在东印度洋的异常东风以及赤道中印度洋低层负涡度异常水平环流对其发展具有重要作用。     

1997/1998年和2015/2016年两次强El Niño事件海表温度演化特征对比分析

El Ni?o现象是引发全球气候异常并可导致严重自然灾害的最主要因素之一。文章选取1997/1998年和2015/2016年El Ni?o事件为分析对象,利用全球海表温度资料,对比分析了两次El Ni?o事件的海表温度变化特征。结果表明,1997/1998年的El Ni?o事件海表温度暖异常中心温度超过3.0℃且范围较大,且暖中心位置偏东;2015/2016年El Ni?o事件海表温度暖异常中心温度则未超过2.5℃,且暖中心位置偏西。     

两类El Ni?o事件对华南前汛期降水异常的影响

利用观测资料及模式结果探讨了EP/CP El Ni?o事件对华南前汛期（4—6月）降水异常的影响。结果发现,EP和CP型相关的华南前汛期降水异常分布之间存在明显月际差异,表现为4、5月EP（CP）型相关的降水异常以偏多（少）为主;6月则相反,EP（CP）型的降水呈负（正）异常分布。分析表明,EP型相关的4、5月偏强的副热带高压与850 hPa上西北太平洋反气旋异常相配合,有利于水汽从海洋向陆地输送,且两广地区水汽辐合,降水异常偏多;而6月相关的500 hPa异常场上对应偏强的东亚大槽,不利于水汽输送,且广东地区处于水汽辐散区,对应降水偏少。CP型相关的4、5月对应500 hPa上东亚大槽偏强,不利于水汽往陆地输送,且华南为水汽辐散,降水偏少;6月的500 hPa上呈现“+-+”的东亚-太平洋遥相关波列（EAP）型,华南地区为明显的水汽辐合,降水偏多。GFDL模式较好地再现了EP /CP型的4、5月降水异常分布及大气环流形势,但是对6月的模拟存在一定偏差。      

两类El Ni?o事件对我国西南地区冬季降水的影响

采用1960~2014年西南地区93个站的逐月降水资料以及NCEP/NCAR再分析月平均资料,分析了东部型El Ni?o（EP El Ni?o）和中部型El Ni?o（CP El Ni?o）对我国西南地区冬季降水的不同影响。结果表明,EP ElNi?o年冬季和CP El Ni?o事件中1994/1995年、2002/2003年冬季,我国西南地区受异常偏东风影响,获得来自孟加拉湾和南海的水汽供应。同时,西南地区存在明显的幅合上升运动,上升运动异常增强,对流加强,导致西南地区冬季降水偏多;而CP El Ni?o事件中1968/1969年、1977/1978年,2004/2005年、2009/2010年冬季,我国西南地区受异常西北风影响,来自孟加拉湾和南海的水汽减少。同时,西南地区存在明显的幅散下沉运动,上升运动异常减弱,对流减弱,导致西南地区冬季降水偏少。     

El Nio事件大气-洋流异常与暖海温传播机理研究

利用1971~2000年逐月SODA(Simple Ocean Data Assimilation)同化资料(Carton等,2004)、1980~2000年逐月NCEP/NCAR再分析资料(Kalnay等,1996)探讨中部型(暖海水首先出现在120°W以西)和东部型(暖海水首先出现在120°W以东)El Nino事件赤道纬向风应力及洋流的异常变化与暖海水信号的传播特征。研究指出:(1)中部型和东部型El Nio事件发生时,太平洋上赤道海表最大西风应力距平在西太平洋地区都有显著的东传现象,但中部型El Nio事件西风应力距平强度强,造成西太平洋赤道表层的东向流可达东太平洋地区,这类El Nio事件强度偏强。(2)中部型El Nio事件,赤道表层洋流辐合区及其下沉运动由西太平洋向东太平洋传播,辐合下沉运动抑制了深层冷海水上翻,西太平洋暖水能够传到东太平洋与西太平洋赤道表层洋流辐合区及其下沉运动的东移有关。(3)东部型El Nio事件西太平洋赤道表层洋流辐合区及其下沉运动没能直接传到东太平洋地区,东太平洋暖水形成与局地(120°W以东)辐合下沉运动抑制深层冷海水上翻有关;东部型El Nio事件暖池次表层的暖水,不是沿着西太平洋赤道次表层向东传播到东太平洋地区,而是由南太平洋西边界流将暖池海水带到40°S左右的西风漂流区,再由西风漂流平流到东太平洋。     

不同类型El Nino事件及其与我国夏季气候异常的关系

详细讨论了不同类型El Nino事件与东亚夏季风（east Asian summer monsoon,EASM）和夏季降水的关系。结果表明,在西部型和驻波型El Nino事件的发展年,EASM都是偏弱的,而东部型的EASM偏强;在西部型和驻波型El Nino事件的衰减年,EASM偏强,而东部型的EASM正常。对于我国夏季降水,在西部型的发展年,华北、黄河中上游、洞庭湖与鄱阳湖流域以及华南部分地区降水偏少,而江淮流域降水偏多;在衰减年则相反。在驻波型的发展年,长江流域和华北北部降水显著偏少,华南、华北中部等地区降水偏多;在衰减年,四川盆地、华南等地区降水偏少,而长江流域、华北中部等地区降水偏多。在东部型的发展年,我国以少雨为主要特征,多雨区主要集中在四川盆地、黄淮流域;在衰减年,我国降水仍以干旱少雨为主要特征,多雨区主要位于华南、华北部分区域。     

超强El Ni?o事件的多样性及其对东亚夏季风降水的影响

利用1979—2017年美国国家海洋和大气管理局(NOAA)重建海温逐月资料(ERSST V5)、气候预报中心(CPC)的Ni?o3.4指数、NCEP/NCAR再分析风场资料以及CMAP降水资料,将1979—2017年Ni?o3.4指数超过2 ℃的El Ni?o事件,定义为超强El Ni?o事件。根据超强El Ni?o事件的定义,从近40年(1979—2017年)选取出三个超强El Ni?o事件(1982—1983年、1997—1998年和2015—2016年)。首先运用海温距平资料,分析超强El Ni?o事件的多样性特征,然后根据这三个超强El Ni?o事件发生年与次年的夏季降水距平,讨论东亚夏季风降水对超强El Ni?o事件多样性的响应差异。研究表明,即使是同为超强的El Ni?o事件,由于其不同的分布特征,东亚夏季风降水的响应场表现出明显的不同。在此基础上,从环流异常、850 hPa风场异常以及副高的变化等方面讨论了这两者之间的联系。      

El Nio事件发生和消亡中热带太平洋纬向风应力的动力作用 Ⅱ.模式结果分析

为了分析 ＥＩ Ｎｉｏ事件发生和消亡中热带太平洋纬向风应力的动力作用，建立一个类似于Ｚｅｂｉａｋ的简单热带海洋数值模式，在观测到的风应力异常的强迫下，模拟赤道太平洋地区 １９７１年１月至 １９９８年８月海表温度异常的变化。结果表明，模式对观测的Ｎｉｏ３区海表温度异常（ＳＳＴＡ）有很好的模拟能力。模拟和观测Ｎｉ区ＳＳＴＡ之间的相关系数可达 ０．９０。模式对 Ｅｌ Ｎｉｏ事件期间赤道太平洋海表温度异常随时间变化也有较好的模拟能力。为了分析Ｅｌ Ｎｉｏ期间ＳＳＴＡ的空间分布及其随时间变化的动力学机制，还对１９８６～１９８９年 ＥＮＳＯ循环期间赤道太平洋地区观测的 ＳＳＴＡ的传播特征及其形成机制进行了分析。模式较好地模拟出了观测到的赤道太平洋地区ＳＳＴＡ的传播特征，即从１９８６年底至１９８７年 ４月， ＳＳＴＡ具有向东传播的特征，从 １９８７年 ６月至 １９８８年 ２月具有向西传播的特征。动力学分析的结果表明，赤道中西太平洋地区的缔向风应力异常对 Ｅｌ Ｎｉｏ事件的发生和消亡具有重要作用。赤道中西太平洋地区的西风异常可强迫出东传的Ｋｅｌｖｉｎ波，这个东传的 Ｋｅｌｖｉｎ波对正 ＳＳＴＡ的东传起主要作用，当这个东传的 Ｋｅｌｖ     

两类El Nio发生前期大气海洋状况的对比分析

利用风场、20℃等温线深度、海表温度以及Wheeler·和Hendon提出的逐日MJO指数资料,通过合成分析方法对比分析了EP型和CP型El Nio发生前各要素场的特征,以及近30年来两类El Nio事件发生前MJO活动的差异。结果表明,在赤道西太平洋,EP型El Nio的异常西风要早于CP型El Nio出现,其强度也远远强于CP型事件。EP型El Nio的异常西风在发生前2个月已东扩至东太平洋地区,而CP型El Nio的异常西风在El Nio事件发生前3个月东扩至日界线附近,此后也只维持在日界线以西。而在赤道东太平洋,不同于EP型El Nio,CP型El Nio事件在El Nio事件发生前始终有偏东风存在。EP型El Nio温跃层有明显的加深东移现象,温跃层的演变要超前于海表温度的变化。由MJO处于5~8位相的异常概率分布,可知EP型El Nio在中西太平洋的MJO活动要比CP型El Nio早发生,比较赤道纬向风平方的均方差,发现EP型El Nio发生前对应的MJO活动要明显地强于CP型El Nio事件。     

El Ni(n)o事件大气-洋流异常与暖海温传播机理研究

利用1971～2000年逐月SODA (Simple Ocean Data Assimilation) 同化资料 (Carton等, 2004)、 1980～2000年逐月NCEP/NCAR再分析资料 (Kalnay等, 1996) 探讨中部型 (暖海水首先出现在120°W以西) 和东部型 (暖海水首先出现在120°W以东) El Ni(n)o事件赤道纬向风应力及洋流的异常变化与暖海水信号的传播特征.研究指出: (1) 中部型和东部型El Ni(n)o事件发生时, 太平洋上赤道海表最大西风应力距平在西太平洋地区都有显著的东传现象, 但中部型El Ni(n)o事件西风应力距平强度强, 造成西太平洋赤道表层的东向流可达东太平洋地区, 这类El Ni(n)o事件强度偏强.(2) 中部型El Ni(n)o事件, 赤道表层洋流辐合区及其下沉运动由西太平洋向东太平洋传播, 辐合下沉运动抑制了深层冷海水上翻, 西太平洋暖水能够传到东太平洋与西太平洋赤道表层洋流辐合区及其下沉运动的东移有关.(3) 东部型El Ni(n)o事件西太平洋赤道表层洋流辐合区及其下沉运动没能直接传到东太平洋地区, 东太平洋暖水形成与局地 (120°W以东) 辐合下沉运动抑制深层冷海水上翻有关; 东部型El Ni(n)o事件暖池次表层的暖水, 不是沿着西太平洋赤道次表层向东传播到东太平洋地区, 而是由南太平洋西边界流将暖池海水带到40°S左右的西风漂流区, 再由西风漂流平流到东太平洋.     

A New Approach for Classifying Two Types of El Nino Events

In recent decades, the typical El Nio events with the warmest SSTs in the tropical eastern Pacific have become less common, and a different of El Nio with the warmest SSTs in the central Pacific, which is flanked on the east and west by cooler SSTs, has become more fre-quent. The more recent type of El Nio was referred to as central Pacific El Nio, warm pool El Nio, or dateline El Nio, or the El Nio Modoki. Central Pacific El Nio links to a different tropical-to-extratropical teleconnection and exerts different impacts on climate, and several classification approaches have been proposed. In this study, a new classification approach is proposed, which is based on the linear combination (sum or difference) of the two leading Empirical Orthogonal Functions (EOFs) of tropical Pacific Ocean sea surface temperature anomaly (SSTA), and the typical El Ni o index (TENI) and the central El Nio index (CENI) are able to be derived by projecting the observed SSTA onto these combinations. This classification not only reflects the characteristics of non-orthogonality between the two types of events but also yields one period peaking at approximate two to seven years. In particular, this classification can distin-guish the different impacts of the two types of events on rainfall in the following summer in East China. The typical El Nio events tend to induce intensified rainfall in the Yangtze River valley, whereas the central Pacific El Nio tends to induce intensified rainfall in the Huaihe River valley. Thus, the present approach may be appropriate for studying the impact of different types of El Nio on the East Asian climate.     

The Amplitude-Duration Relation of Observed El Nino Events

The authors demonstrate that the El Ni o events in the pre-and post-1976 periods show two ampli-tude-duration relations. One is that the stronger El Ni o events have longer durations, which is robust for the moderate El Ni o events; the other is that the stronger El Ni o events have shorter durations but for strong El Nio events. By estimating the sign and amplitude of the nonlinear dynamical heating (NDH) anomalies, the authors illustrate that the NDH anomalies are negligible for moderate El Nio events but large for strong El Nio events. In particular, the large NDH anomalies for strong El Nio events are positive during the growth and mature phases, which favor warmer El Nio events. During the decay phase, however, the negative NDH anomalies start to arise and become increasingly significant with the evolution of the El Nio events, in which the negative NDH anomalies dampen the sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTA) and cause the El Nio events to reach the SST normal state earlier. This pattern suggests that the nonlinearity tends to increase the intensities of strong El Nio events and shorten their duration, which, together with the previous results showing a positive correlation between the strength of El Nio events and the significance of the effect of nonlinear advection on the events (especially the suppression of nonlinearity on the SSTA during the decay phase), shows that the strong El Nio events tend to have the amplitude-duration relation of the stronger El Nio events with shorter durations. This result also lends support to the assertion that moderate El Nio events possess the amplitude-duration relation of stronger El Nio events with longer durations.     

北京汛期暴雨与厄尔尼诺事件

利用北京近百年逐日降水资料和厄尔尼诺事件、非厄尔尼诺事件的资料进行初步分析表明,在厄尔尼诺最大影响年的北京汛期易干旱,相当暴雨日数≤４天;在非厄尔尼诺最大影响年的北京汛期易多雨偏涝,相当暴雨日数≥５天;在厄尔尼诺最大影响年的次年和下一个非厄尔尼诺最大影响年时,北京汛期相当暴雨日数相对增多;反之,非厄尔尼诺最大影响年的次年和下一个厄尔尼诺最大影响年时,北京汛期相当暴雨日数相对减少。     

Different Summer Rainfall Anomaly Patterns in Northeast China Associated with Two Kinds of El Niño Events

The relationship between summer rainfall anomalies in northeast China and two types of El Ni?o events is investigated by using observation data and an AGCM. It is shown that, for different types of El Ni?o events, there is different rainfall anomaly pattern in the following summer. In the following year of a typical El Ni?o event, there are remarkable positive rainfall anomalies in the central-western region of northeast China, whereas the pattern of more rainfall in the south end and less rainfall in the north end of northeast China easily appears in an El Ni?o Modoki event. The reason for the distinct differences is that, associated with the different sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTA) along the equatorial Pacific, the large-scale circulation anomalies along east coast of East Asia shift northward in the following summer of El Ni?o Modoki events. Influenced by the anomalous anticyclone in Philippine Sea, southwesterly anomalies over eastern China strengthens summer monsoon and bring more water vapor to Northeast China. Meanwhile, convergence and updraft is strengthened by the anomalous cyclone right in Northeast China in typical El Ni?o events. These moisture and atmospheric circulation conditions are favorable for enhanced precipitation. However, because of the northward shift, the anomalous anticyclone which is in Philippine Sea in typical El Ni?o cases shifts to the south of Japan in Modoki years, and the anomalous cyclone which is in the Northeast China in typical El Ni?o cases shifts to the north of Northeast China, leading to the “dipole pattern” of rainfall anomalies. According to the results of numerical experiments, we further conform that the tropical SSTA in different types of El Ni?o event can give rise to observed rainfall anomaly patterns in Northeast China.     

热带太平洋地区风场异常和与El Ni(~n)o有关的年际变化

利用1964～1993年NCEP/NCAR再分析风应力资料和中国科学院大气物理研究所发展的14层热带太平洋环流模式(OGCM),对热带太平洋与El Ni(~n)o有关的年际变化进行了研究.首先,分析了西太平洋暖池次表层海温异常(SOTA)与Ni(~n)o 3区海表温度异常(SSTA)的年际变化关系,发现在El Ni(~n)o事件之前,暖池的次表层海温都有明显正异常出现,它的东传导致了El Ni(~n)o的发生,并且SOTA的传播随纬度变化,沿赤道东传,在赤道外西传.然后,选取了20世纪70年代和80年代两次最强的El Ni(~n)o事件讨论了引起这种机制的可能原因--西风异常的作用.最后,对1964～1993所有的El Ni(~n)o年的风场、次表层海温和海表温度的异常进行了综合分析.     

Sea surface temperature anomaly in the tropical North Atlantic during El Nino decaying years

基于1979年到2016年多种再分析资料,本文分析了El Ni?o衰减年热带北大西洋的海温异常.结果表明,热带北大西洋海温在此期间呈显著变暖趋势.10次El Ni?o事件的合成结果表明热带北大西洋海温异常在El Ni?o事件峰值之后的春季达到最大值,并持续到夏季.一般而言,这种异常与三个因子有关,即El Nino,北大西洋涛动和长期趋势,能分别导致局地海温上升0.4℃,0.3℃和0.35℃.1983年和2005年的对比分析表明,尽管El Ni?o强度对春季北大西洋海温起到决定性作用,与长期趋势密切相关的前冬海温也很重要.此外,超前-滞后相关结果表明北大西洋涛动超前海温约2-3个月.比较两个冬季相反位相北大西洋涛动的年份(即1992年和2010年),表明北大西洋涛动也能调制北大西洋海温异常.冬季负位相北大西洋涛动能显著增强El Ni?o的强迫影响,反之亦然.换言之,如果北大西洋涛动与El Ni?o位相相合,衰减年北大西洋海温异常才更为显著.因此,为全面理解热带北大西洋海温变化,除长期趋势外,还必须考虑El Ni?o和北大西洋涛动的综合影响.     

E1 Ni(n)o事件发生对南北半球大气环流异常的对称及非对称性影响及其机理分析

利用合成分析方法, 分析了1971～2003年间7个El Ni(n)o事件发生时南、 北半球大气环流异常的对称与反对称特性.分析结果表明, El Ni(n)o事件发生期间, 在热带地区15°S～15°N大气环流异常以对称性为主, 但也有一定的反对称分量: 高度场异常和纬向风异常的对称性较强, 而经向风异常的反对称较强; 同时在El Nino事件演变的各阶段, 高度场异常和纬向风异常的变化较明显, 而经向风的变化较小, 高度场和风场异常在低层 (700 hPa) 和高层 (200 hPa) 呈明显的反位相分布.并且, 为探讨El Ni(n)o事件对南、 北半球大气环流异常的非对称性影响的机理, 本研究进一步利用ERA-40逐日资料, 应用Hough函数分析了El Nino事件发生期间这些赤道波动的演变特征.结果表明, El Ni(n)o事件发生期间, 热带地区大气环流异常对称性较强的主要原因是对称性Rossby波异常较强, 而Rossby重力混合波异常对经向风场的反对称分量有重要作用; 并且, 研究结果还表明, 在El Ni(n)o事件发生期间, 热带东太平洋的海温正异常能够激发由对称性Rossby波和Kelvin波组成的Gill型环流异常.此外, 分析表明Hough函数在分析热带大气波动的对称性及反对称性上具有明显的优越性.     

Distinctive MJO Activity during the Boreal Winter of the 2015/16 Super El Nino in Comparison with Other Super El Nino Events

Many previous studies have demonstrated that the boreal winters of super El Nino events are usually accompanied by severely suppressed Madden-Julian oscillation(MJO) activity over the western Pacific due to strong descending motion associated with a weakened Walker Circulation. However, the boreal winter of the 2015/16 super El Nino event is concurrent with enhanced MJO activity over the western Pacific despite its sea surface temperature anomaly(SSTA)magnitude over the Nino 3.4 region being comparable to the SSTA magnitudes of the two former super El Nino events(i.e.,1982/83 and 1997/98). This study suggests that the MJO enhanced over western Pacific during the 2015/16 super El Nino event is mainly related to its distinctive SSTA structure and associated background thermodynamic conditions. In comparison with the previous super El Nino events, the warming SSTA center of the 2015/16 super El Nino is located further westward, and a strong cold SSTA is not detected in the western Pacific. Accordingly, the low-level moisture and air temperature(as well as the moist static energy, MSE) tend to increase in the central-western Pacific. In contrast, the low-level moisture and MSE show negative anomalies over the western Pacific during the previous super El Nino events.As the MJO-related horizontal wind anomalies contribute to the further westward warm SST-induced positive moisture and MSE anomalies over the western tropical Pacific in the boreal winter of 2015/16, stronger moisture convergence and MSE advection are generated over the western Pacific and lead to the enhancement of MJO convection.     

The Vertical Structures of Atmospheric Temperature Anomalies Associated with El Nio Simulated by the LASG/IAP AGCM： Sensitivity to Convection Schemes

The vertical structures of atmospheric temperature anomalies associated with El Nio are simulated with a spectrum atmospheric general circulation model developed by LASG/IAP (SAMIL). Sensitivity of the model’s response to convection scheme is discussed. Two convection schemes, i.e., the revised Zhang and Macfarlane (RZM) and Tiedtke (TDK) convection schemes, are employed in two sets of AMIP-type (Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project) SAMIL simulations, respectively. Despite some deficiencies in the up...     

Warming in the Northwestern Indian Ocean Associated with the El Ni(n)o Event

This paper investigates possible warming effects of an El Ni(n)o event on the sea surface temperature anomaly(SSTA)in the northwestern Indian Ocean.Most pure positive Indian Ocean dipole(IOD)events (without an El Ni(n)o event co-occurring) have a maximum positive SSTA mainly in the central Indian Ocean south of the equator.while most co-occurrences with an El Ni(n)o event exhibit a northwest-southeast typical dipole mode.It is therefore inferred that warming in the northwestern Indian Ocean is closely related to the El Ni(n)o event.Based on the atmospheric bridge theory,warming in the northwestern Indian Ocean during co-occurring cases may be primarily caused by relatively less latent heat loss from the ocean due to reduced wind speed.The deepened thermocline also contributes to the warming along the east coast of Africa through the suppressed upwelling of the cold water.Therefore,the El Ni(n)o event is suggested to have a modulating effect on the structure of the dipole mode in the tropical Indian Ocean.
