长江中下游夏季降水及其与全球热通量的关系

统计分析了1951-2002年52 a长江中下游夏季降水的年际和年代际变化特征.结果显示:长江中下游夏季降水在20世纪60、70年代处于少雨期,80年代旱涝相间,90年代处于多雨期,而且年际异常和年代际异常的配置决定了旱涝的强弱.在此基础上,分析了长江中下游夏季旱涝年的前期潜热和感热通量在年际和年代际尺度上的异常合成场,以及夏季旱涝年同期大气环流场及风场的异常合成场.结果表明:中北太平洋西部(T区)和日本以东洋面(R区)当年春季热通量的异常分布形势是长江中下游夏季旱涝的一个前期讯号.     

华南夏季极端降水时空变异及其与西北部太平洋海气异常关联性初探

基于长时间序列的观测和再分析数据,分析了1958-2008年间华南夏季极端降水的时空变异特征及其与西北部太平洋海域的海表温度、潜热通量以及水汽输送异常的联系.华南地区夏季极端降水异常变化的主要模态显示,华南绝大部分地区夏季极端降水异常呈同相变化,并以2～5年的年际变化最为显著.特别是近50年来该地区夏季极端降水趋势变化在20世纪80年代末存在明显转折,即在1989年之前华南绝大部分地区夏季极端降水频次呈减少趋势,之后表现为增多趋势.结果表明,西北部太平洋同期海气异常与我国华南地区夏季极端降水显著关联的关键区主要位于南海海域及其邻近的西太平洋暖池区.该海域的海表温度、潜热通量的异常变化可能是影响华南夏季极端降水的重要因素,而南海北部水汽经向输送的异常变化可能是引起华南夏季极端降水变异的关键因素之一.这可为我国华南地区夏季极端降水变异规律、机理及模拟预测研究提供一定的参考依据.     

中国南方夏季低频雨型特征及其年代际变化研究

为了揭示南方低频降水的季节内及年代际变化规律,利用1961—2011年夏季中国南方逐日降水资料和大气环流再分析资料,运用经验正交函数分解(EOF)与聚类分析相结合方法,将南方地区10 d以上的低频尺度降水划分为5个异常雨型.分析表明,各雨型具有较好的持续性,与同期的环流场有很好的对应关系,彼此间水汽异常输送特征有明显差别.通过对雨型的统计特征进行分析,指出不同于以往的季节平均雨型,低频雨型可在季节内交替出现,反映了大尺度异常降水的低频演变特征.进一步研究发现,近50年来各低频雨型的多项统计特征存在显著的年代际变化:20世纪80—90年代各多雨型均相继出现峰值,进入21世纪偏旱型的各项统计特征存在明显上升趋势,而大部分低频多雨型出现次数减少,这可能预示着中国南方地区正在进入一个季节内尺度降水减少的阶段.     

海表温度和地表温度与中国东部夏季异常降水

主要研究太平洋与印度洋海表温度和地表温度场与中国东部夏季降水的相关关系,以及异常大降水产生的下垫面条件.研究结果表明:(1)夏季黑潮区海温与同期长江流域的降水存在明显正相关,北方地区夏季降水与靠近非洲东岸的印度洋海域存在明显负相关.(2)夏季海温异常与同期中国降水异常场之间的相关分析(SVDI)表明,20世纪70年代后期当海温由La Nina多发期向El Nino多发期转变后,长江流域向异常多雨转变,而其北方和南方地区则向异常少雨方向发展.(3)中国东部区域降水与陆面温度的明显相关区有:(a)春,夏季热带非洲和夏季亚洲大陆部分地区地表温度与当年长江流域夏季降水存在显著正相关;(b)春季4、5月份部分亚洲大陆地表温度与当年华北地区夏季降水有明显负相关.(4)通过对比分析发现:长江(1954,1998和1999年)或江淮(1991年)流域几次特大异常降水的下垫面条件是黑潮区为海温正距平,同期欧亚大陆主要为正地表温度距平场.     

极涡与副高相互作用及其与太平洋海温的关系

本文研究了西太平洋副高与极涡的相互作用,讨论了副高与极涡夏季同期的相互作用及这二个系统各自前期演变对对方的“滞后”影响,同时还探讨了作为大气运动冷热源之一的太平洋冬季黑潮海温感热输送异常及亲潮海温变化对副高、极涡的热力作用。研究指出:冬季黑潮海温对夏季极涡分布的海气热力效应及冬季黑潮、亲潮海温间的不同距平分布对应着河北(华北)夏季降水过程的不同类型。     

西太平洋暖池热状态变异及其邻近地区对流活动特征

利用1981—2011年共31 a夏季的GODAS月平均次表层海温资料,以5~366 m次表层垂直平均海温表征西太平洋暖池热含量,分析了西太平洋暖池热状态变异及其邻近区域对流活动特征。结果表明:1)暖池区热含量异常变化最大,其季节变化与海表温度季节变化高度一致,年际变率大于海表温度的年际变率。2)暖池热状态以整体一致性正异常为主,其时间系数较好地体现了暖池区次表层热状况的年际变异特征。3)暖池邻近地区对流活动与暖池热状态异常密切相关:当暖池偏暖(冷)时,菲律宾周围关键区对流活动显著增强(减弱),并且该关键区的对流活动受暖池热含量的影响可以追溯至前一年7月一直持续到当年9月。4)暖池热状态异常引起菲律宾周围关键区对流活动异常,进而激发出东亚地区夏季500 h Pa高度场上自低纬度到中高纬度正、负、正的东亚—太平洋(EAP)遥相关型分布特征;暖池暖(冷)异常时对流层低层在菲律宾以东洋面形成一个异常的反气旋性(气旋性)偏差环流。     

春季黑潮区海温异常与我国夏季降水的关系

利用海温资料、NCEP/NCAR 53 a(1951～2003年)再分析资料和全国160个站的月降水资料,采用小波、合成和相关分析等方法,分析了春季黑潮区域海表温度异常与我国夏季(6～8月)降水及其与夏季500 hPa高度场、水汽输送的关系。结果表明:春季黑潮区域海表温度具有明显的年际和年代际变化特征,海温的增加趋势非常显著,存在不同尺度的周期振荡,其中23 a左右的周期最显著。春季黑潮海温偏高时,中高纬地区的槽和脊加深,西北太平洋副热带高压加强、西伸,导致副热带高压西侧的暖湿气流输送到长江中下游及华南地区,从而使长江中下游及华南地区的夏季降水增多;水汽输送合成场表明来自南海、西太平洋的水汽输送较气候平均年偏强,向长江流域以北的水汽输送减少,使长江中下游及华南地区夏季降水增多;相反,海温偏低时,长江中下游及华南地区的夏季降水减少。     

冬,春季海温异常关键区对长江中下游夏季降水影响的敏感性试验

本文利用9层菱形截断15波的全球大气环流谱模式（L9R15）研究了前期冬季和春季海温异常的关键区对我国长江中下游地区夏季降水的影响,数值试验结果表明,冬季赤道东太平洋和黑潮区海温异常及春季印度洋和黑潮区海温异常使得长江中下游地区的夏季降水明显增多,同时500hPa副热带高压和100hPa南亚高压增强,但从范围和强度上来看,冬季赤道东太平洋和黑潮区海温异常时我国西南至长江中下游地区一带的夏季降水异常比春季印度洋和黑潮区海温异常时更明显,由此证实了观测资料的分析结果。     

前期北太平洋海温异常对贵州夏季降水的影响

利用1979 2011年夏季贵州83个台站降水月资料及前期北太平洋逐月海温资料,对二者的耦合关系进行了SVD分析,对异常年份进行了合成分析,并对前期海温影响贵州夏季降水的可能机制进行了探讨。结果表明:(1)影响贵州夏季降水的海温关键区,从前一年夏季至当年春季由北太平洋的加利福尼亚冷流区转移到了黑潮区,前一年夏、秋及冬季海温的变化与贵州夏季降水关系更为密切,同期春季与贵州夏季降水的相关最差,且前期北太平洋海温与贵州中东部降水的异性相关更好。(2)贵州夏季降水偏多年,前一年夏季北太平洋海温分布从西北到东南为"+-+"分布,而降水偏少年为"-+-"分布,降水偏多年与El Nino事件关系不密切,而降水偏少年与La Nina事件关系较密切;在北太平洋夏季海温正异常年翌年,贵州夏季降水呈全区一致的偏多,而在负异常年翌年,贵州夏季降水呈全区一致的偏少。(3)前期北太平洋海温异常是影响贵州夏季降水的可能机制,北太平洋海温异常升高可引起向中纬度西太平洋传播的波列,通过加强西风造成西太平洋副热带高压西伸、偏强,有利于贵州降水异常偏多;而北太平洋海温异常降低对贵州降水的影响不如海温异常显著,它可造成西风减弱,使得西太平洋副热带高压东退、偏弱,从而抑制贵州夏季降水。     

青藏高原南侧经圈环流变化特征及其对降水影响分析

基于1979-2015年青藏高原(下称高原)地区气象观测站的逐日降水资料和ERA-Interim逐日再分析资料,分析高原南侧经圈环流的季节演变及年际变化特征,并讨论其对高原降水及水汽输送的影响。结果表明,高原南侧80°E-90°E范围存在前季风环流、季风环流、Hadley环流的季节演变,前季风环流有-0. 377 s~(-1)·(10a)~(-1)减弱的趋势,季风环流有0. 524 m·s~(-1)·(10a)~(-1)显著增强趋势。在90°E-105°E范围存在季风环流和Hadley环流季节转换,季风环流存在0. 413 m·s~(-1)·(10a)~(-1)的增强趋势。基于各经圈环流开始、结束时间的定义,发现在80°E-90°E,前季风环流建立的时间有推迟而结束时间有提前的现象,其维持时间出现每10年-1. 47候的缩短趋势。在90°E-105°E,季风环流维持时间增长,Hadley环流维持时间缩短。前季风环流增强使得高原水汽辐散区辐散增强,水汽辐合区辐合增强,高原西南侧有东北向水汽输送增强,而高原西北侧有西南向水汽输送增强。夏季季风环流增强,高原南部至孟加拉湾地区自南向北的经向水汽输送显著增强,印度洋向高原输送的西南向水汽通量明显增加。前季风环流增强,春季高原中部及西南部降水减少,而东南部和北部降水增加。夏季季风环流增强时,高原南侧上升支增强,高原南部降水增加,而高原北部降水出现减少。     

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.     

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.     

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.
