区域气候模拟中多种对流参数化方案的比较研究

利用区域气候模式RegCM2,选择Betts-Miller、Kuo-Anthes和Grell3种积云对流参数化方案,进行了1991年和1994年5～7月2个个例的东亚季风区区域气候模拟试验,重点分析比较了3种参数化方案对降水总量分布、主要降水时段、雨带南北变动和基本气象要素场的模拟能力,并相对实测降水和基本要素的观测分析进行了统计检验.通过对比,发现Betts方案的模拟能力明显优于其他两种方案.     

中尺度模式中各种积云参数化方案的对比试验

利用非静力中尺度MM5数值模式，选择Anthes-Kuo、Grell、Kain-Fritsch和Betts-Miller4种积云对流参数化方案，对2003年7月25-26日台风登陆减弱为中尺度低压系统后影响云南产生的强降水过程进行模拟试验，重点分析了4种参数化方案模拟的降水分布、降水强度和中尺度低压的流场特征。结果表明：4种积云参数化方案对这次强降水过程均有一定的模拟能力，能够很好地模拟过程强降水中心的位置，但Grell、Kain-Fritsch和Betts-Miller3种方案模拟的大雨范围比实况大雨范围明显偏小，Betts-Miller方案模拟的降水强度比实况偏大，Anthes-Kuo方案的模拟结果与实况比较接近，它不仅能够很好地模拟强降水过程的降水区范围、降水强度和降水中心位置，还能很好地再现低压环流系统的一些中尺度特征。     

南海夏季风爆发的数值模拟

利用高分辨率的区域气候模式 (RegCM_NCC) 对南海夏季风爆发进行模拟研究。研究表明:该模式对积云对流参数化方案的选择十分敏感, 其中以Kuo积云参数化方案为最好, 可以比较成功地模拟出南海夏季风的爆发时间、爆发前后高、低层风场的剧烈变化以及季风与季风雨带的向北推进。然而该方案对于雨量和副热带高压位置的模拟, 与观测相比尚存在一定的偏差, 主要表现为副热带高压位置模拟偏北、偏东; 南海地区的降水量模拟偏少、降水范围偏小。此外, 采用4种参数化方案 (Kuo, Grell, MFS, Betts-Miller) 集成的结果在某种程度上要优于单个方案的结果, 这种改善主要体现在对南海地区季风爆发后降水的模拟上。     

台风麦莎渤海转向的可预报性研究

利用MM5模式研究了2005年第9号台风"麦莎"在渤海向东北转向路径的可预报性.试验用不同的积云参数化方案、不同的预报时效分别从确定性和集合预报角度对"麦莎"在渤海向东北方向的转向过程做了模拟.结果表明,"麦莎"在渤海的转向可预报时效为48小时左右.不同的积云参数化方案对台风麦莎路径的48小时预报结果显示台风均转向东北,预示"麦莎 "基本不会直接影响北京.60和72小时的预报结果显示,Kuo和Betts-Miller积云参数化方案的台风模拟路径与实况比较接近,而Grell和KeinFritch积云参数化方案的台风模拟路径却偏向了实际台风位置的西北,台风有可能直接影响北京.研究表明,对于台风麦莎而言,时效超过两天的转向预报可信度较低,Kuo和Betts-Miller积云参数化方案的预报准确性较高.     

不同积云对流参数化方案对中国东部降水模拟的对比分析

本文将目前国际上气候模式中应用比较广泛的三种积云对流参数化方案引入到P-σRCM9区域气候模式中,并考察了不同积云对流参数化方案对P-σRCM9区域气候模式模拟中国降水性能的影响.分析发现四种积云对流参数化方案(包括原方案)下模拟的积云对流加热率基本上都呈现出单峰特征,且加热峰值出现在对流层中低层.并发现积云对流参数化方案对冬季降水平均场和年际变率模拟的影响较小,而对夏季降水模拟的影响更加重要.同时注意到Kuo方案和Anthes-Kuo方案模拟的冬、夏季降水平均场和年际变率均较其他两个方案更接近观测.     

变性再发展热带气旋Yaji(2006)的数值模拟研究

利用中尺度模式WRF对2006年14号热带气旋Yaji的变性过程进行了双重嵌套模拟。结果表明,采用高分辨率的TRMM/TMI卫星反演SST资料,在第一重区域(网格距为15km)采用WSM3微物理方案和Betts-Miller对流参数化方案,在第二重移动嵌套区域(网格距为5km)采用Lin微物理方案,不采用对流参数化方案,模式能较好地模拟Yaji的路径和变性前后的强度演变,其中模拟的路径平均误差为64km,强度平均误差为2.5hPa,模拟的风场分布与Quickscat卫星反演的风场分布也较为吻合。利用模拟资料还研究了Yaji变性过程中的非对称流特征。     

对流允许尺度区域气候模拟的研究进展

与以往的区域气候模式相比,对流允许区域气候模式不再依赖于对流参数化方案,其精细的分辨率可以显式表示深对流过程,在夏季对流降水的日变化和极端降水事件模拟等方面具有明显增值能力,是区域气候模拟的发展方向。对现有的对流允许尺度区域气候模拟研究进行了较为详细的回顾和介绍,简述了对流允许尺度区域气候模式中比较重要的物理过程及外部驱动条件的影响,总结了以往对流允许尺度区域气候模拟的研究成果以及当下所面临的挑战和对未来的展望,以期对中国及东亚区域对流允许区域气候模拟的研究提供有益参考。诸多研究表明,对流允许区域气候模拟作为一种有前景的气候模式,可提供更加可靠的区域尺度的气候信息。     

不同云降水方案对一次登陆台风的降水模拟

利用美国最新发展的新一代中尺度数值预报模式(WRF),研究了不同云降水方案对一次登陆台风的降水模拟问题,结果表明,在网格距适当小的情况下,同时采用积云对流参数化方案和云微物理方案(Kessler方案)时,其降水预报优于只使用积云对流参数化方案时的预报;在台风降水模拟的初期,Kain-Fritsch方案比Betts-Miller方案产生降水更快,更接近实况降水;在台风登陆后随时间的延长,对流降水重要性逐步下降,网格尺度降水逐渐增强。     

区域气候模式对中国东部夏季气候的模拟试验

在美国国家大气研究中心第二代区域气候模式(NCAR/RegCM2)的基础上,通过改进其中的陆面过程、积云对流、辐射传输和边界层等物理过程的参数化方案,发展了一个有多种方案选择的改进的区域气候模式.分别利用原区域气候模式和改进的区域气候模式,对1994年和1998年夏季的异常季风降水过程进行了数值模拟试验,并与观测结果进行了比较.结果表明,新方案模拟的1994年夏季的雨带位置与实际位置非常一致,而原区域气候模式模拟的雨带都位于中国北方地区,与观测的差别较大.从环流场的模拟比较也可以看出,新方案模拟的1994年和1998年夏季环流形势都比原方案的结果更为合理.     

两种积云对流参数化方案对1998年区域气候季节变化模拟的影响研究

利用区域气候模式RegCM3,选择Kuo-Anthes积云对流参数化方案和基于FC80假设的Grell积云对流参数化方案,对1998年东亚气候分别进行年尺度模拟,模拟结果对比分析表明:在春、夏季转换时期, 两者模拟的降水形势差别较大, 对江淮、中南和华南地区的夏季降水量模拟差别最为明显。对流层上层模式变量和模式大气质量对积云对流参数化方案的选择不敏感, 而对流层中、下层模式变量对积云对流参数化方案比较敏感。不同积云对流参数化方案对8天时间尺度的天气系统模拟差别比较大。在积云对流比较活跃的夏季,不同参数化方案会导致模式大气出现不同的系统性偏差。由于模式在陡峭地形处动力过程计算方案存在缺陷,在高原与盆地的交界处,模式误差会产生明显的突变。     

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.
