THE MEANDER OF KUROSHIO AND OSCILLATION IN A COUPLED OCEAN-ATMOSPHERE MODEL*

A numerical experiment of an asynchronous coupled ocean-atmosphere model has been described in this paper.A two-layer global atmosphere general circulation model(OSU/IAP-AGCM)and a two-layer North Pacific Ocean general circulation model(NPOGCM) developed by Liu et al.(1992)are used in numerical experiment.The sea surface temperature anomaly(SSTA) corresponding to the meander of the Kuroshio is treated as the initial perturbation in the Pacific Ocean and the abnormal phenomena caused by the disturbance and the interaction between atmosphere and ocean,have been studied.The numerical experiment showed that the SST anomaly in the North Pacific could induce a new 30-60 day osciltation through the coupling between atmosphere and ocean and the interaction between the meander of the Kuroshio and atmosphere circulation is a positive feedback process.     

STUDY OF CHARACTERISTIC MODES IN SIMPLE TROPICAL COUPLED AIR-SEA MODEL

The propagation features, stabilities and dynamical characteristic structures of coupled Kelvin inner modes andsecond order Rossby inner modes are studied using a simple tropical coupled air-sea model in this paper. It is shownthat there is mechanism of selecting scale and frequency in the tropical air-sea system. The effects of air-sea couplingare mainly on the large-scale modes and nonuniform. These effects make the frequency of Kelvin modes decrease andeven excite the eastward propagating Rossby inner modes. These effects make the unstable development of Kelvinmodes and result in the decay of Rossby modes. The effects of atmospheric damp are opposite to those of air-sea coup-ling. The oceanic damp only make the wave amplitudes decay. Simutaneously, this paper shows the dynamical character-istic structures of air-sea coupled system and the phase relations between the atmospheric and the oceanic wave compo-nent.     

DEVELOPMENT OF A COUPLED REGIONAL AIR-SEA MODEL AND ITS NUMERICAL SIMULATION FOR SUMMER MONSOON IN 1998

A coupled regional air-sea model is developed by using the regional climate model (P-σ RCM)and the regional ocean model (POM),which is used to simulate East Asian monsoon and oceanicelements in East Asian coastal waters.The simulated surface layer oceanic elements are basicallyconsistent with the reality and can reflect the interaction between the monsoon and the surfacelayer currents.The great difference with the reality is “cold drift” of the simulated surfacetemperature.The coupled model has certain ability to simulate the atmosphere geopotential heightfields,precipitation and low-level southwest wind from May to August in 1998.It can display theprocess of summer monsoon onset during the third dekad of May and the evolution features afterthe onset.The differences between the simulation results of the coupled model and that of thesingle P-a RCM are shown mainly in the low-level atmosphere and the model internal regions.     

THE COUPLED MODE BETWEEN THE KUROSHIO REGION MARINE HEATING ANOMALY AND THE NORTH PACIFIC ATMOSPHERIC CIRCULATION IN WINTERTIME

Using monthly reanalysis data of the National Center for Environmental Research/National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP/NCAR) and Objectively Analyzed Air–Sea Heat Flux (OAFlux) gathered during the winter, singular vector decomposition (SVD) analysis was conducted to reveal the coupled mode between the Kuroshio marine heating anomaly and the geopotential height at 500 hPa (Z500) over the North Pacific. The first SVD mode showed that when the northern Kuroshio marine heating anomaly was positive, the Z500 in the central and western sections of the North Pacific was anomalously low. By composing the meteorological field anomalies in the positive (or negative) years, it has been revealed that while the Aleutian Low deepens (or shallows), the northwesterly wind overlying the Kuroshio strengthens (or weakens) and induces the near-surface air to be cool (or warm). Furthermore, this increases (or decreases) the upward heat flux anomaly and cools (or warms) the sea surface temperature (SST) accordingly. In the vicinity of Kuroshio and its downstream region, the vertical structure of the air temperature along the latitude is baroclinic; however, the geopotential height is equivalently barotropic, which presents a cool trough (or warm ridge) spatial structure. The divergent wind and vertical velocities are introduced to show the anomalous zonal circulation cell. These are characterized by the rising (or descending) air in the central North Pacific, which flows westward and eastward toward the upper troposphere, descends (or rises) in the Kuroshio and in the western section of North America, and then strengthens (or weakens) the mid-latitude zonal cell (MZC).     

Zebiak-Cane海气耦合模式研究进展

系统、全面地总结了国内外关于Zebiak-Cane海气耦合模式的应用及分析研究，指出了模式的优点及存在的不足，并评析了模式改进工作，最后进行了讨论并展望未来的发展方向。     

简化ENSO预测模式的改进试验

利用NCEP的海洋模式同化资料,对Cane-Zebiak简化海气耦合模式的海洋动力要素进行对比分析.结果表明,该模式的大气部分能够较好地模拟出海温强迫下的大气风场异常,而海洋部分的模拟结果与实况相比存在较多虚假的偏暖偏冷事件以及对El Nino事件的模拟强度偏小等问题.这主要与海洋模式中混合层厚度选取较浅,导致垂直上翻温度平流的贡献削弱有关.试验结果证明,适当加强该项的强度可提高模式的预报能力.     

冬季黑潮海域异常加热与北太平洋大气环流的耦合关系

利用NCEP/NCAR和OAFlux月平均资料,采用SVD方法分析冬季黑潮海域的热通量和北太平洋500 hPa位势高度场之间的关系。第1对奇异向量占总方差的86.24%,表现为黑潮北部海域异常多的放热和北太平洋中西部的500 hPa位势高度场异常低。将正负异常年的各气象要素的距平场进行合成分析后表明：当阿留申低压增强（减弱）时,黑潮海域上空的西北风增强（减弱）,导致近地面层大气温度降低（升高）,使得热通量异常释放增加（减少）,从而降低（升高）了海表面温度。在黑潮海域及其下游,温度场在纬向垂直方向是斜压结构,位势高度场是相当正压结构,反映的是冷低压（暖脊）结构。通过分析风场无旋分量和垂直速度的距平发现,在中纬度地区存在距平的纬向环流圈：大气在北太平洋中部的低层上升（下沉）,在对流层高层（低层）分别向西、向东运动,在黑潮海域和北美西部下沉（上升）,增强（减弱）了中纬度纬向环流圈（MZC）。

SIMULATION OF SUMMER CLIMATE IN CHINA DURING 1997 AND 1998 USING A REGIONAL AIR-SEA COUPLED MODEL

Using the regional air-sea coupled climate model RegCM3-POM,a series of numerical experiments are performed to simulate the summer climate in 1997 and 1998 with different coupling time steps.The results show that the coupled model has good performance on the simulation of the summer sea surface temperature(SST) in 1997 and 1998,and the simulation results of CPL1(with the coupling time step at 1 hour) are similar to those of CPL6(with the coupling time step at 6 hours).The coupled model can well simulate SST differences between 1997 and 1998.As for the simulation of the drought in 1997 and the flood in 1998,the results of CPL6 are more accurate.The coupled model can well simulate the drought in 1997 over North China,and compared with the results of the atmosphere model RegCM3,the simulation ability of the coupled model is improved.The coupling model has better ability in the simulation of the circulation in the middle and low levels,and the water vapor transportation in the coupling model is reasonable in both 1997 and 1998.RegCM3(an uncoupled model) cannot correctly simulate the transportation path differences between 1997 and 1998,but the coupled model can simulate the differences well.     

DEVELOPMENT OF A COUPLED REGIONAL AIR-SEA MODEL AND ITS NUMERICAL SIMULATION FOR SUMMER MONSOON IN 1998*

A coupled regional air-sea model is developed by using the regional climate model (P-σ RCM) and the regional ocean model (POM),which is used to simulate East Asian monsoon and oceanic elements in East Asian coastal waters.The simulated surface layer oceanic elements are basically consistent with the reality and can reflect the interaction between the monsoon and the surface layer currents.The great difference with the reality is "cold drift" of the simulated surface temperature.The coupled model has certain ability to simulate the atmosphere geopotential height fields,precipitation and low-level southwest wind from May to August in 1998.It can display the process of summer monsoon onset during the third dekad of May and the evolution features after the onset.The differences between the simulation results of the coupled model and that of the single P-σ RCM are shown mainly in the low-level atmosphere and the model internal regions.

耦合海-气环流模式中双热带辐合带现象及其热收支分析

文中研究了耦合海-气环流模式中的双热带辐合带(Double ITCZ)现象,并对这一现象的成因从海洋热量收支的角度进行了初步分析。Double ITCZ现象是在热带太平洋赤道南北两侧各出现一条ITCZ的现象,这是耦合海-气环流模式中的较为普遍的一种异常现象,与实际气候中出现的Double ITCZ现象并非指同一问题。文中对比观测和模式结果,指出了Double ITCZ现象的主要特征,针对它的出现过程进行细致分析,再利用模式输出的热量收支各项进行统计,得到了从海洋热收支分析得到的海表温度变化原因。与观测到的正常模态相比,Double ITCZ是一个异常的模态,它的特征突出地表现为西太平洋暖池区的降温和东南太平洋10°S附近的升温。海洋热量收支分析表明,暖池区的降温主要是受到扩散的作用,而表层平流的异常增暖在决定异常辐合带区升温过程中占第一位的作用。

本文利用中科院大气所两层全球大气环流模式和十四层热带太平洋模式的耦合环流模式１００年积分中的后３０年的月平均输出资料,通过分析海表面温度、上层海洋热容量和海表面高度异常的年际变化,揭示了模式ＥＮＳＯ循环（包括其产生、发展、成熟和消亡过程）的特征及其控制机理。结果表明,控制本文耦合环流模式中ＥＮＳＯ循环的机理是“时滞振子”模态,这和由中间复杂程度耦合模式得到的ＥＮＳＯ控制机理是一致的。反映了“时滞振     

A GLOBAL COUPLED OCEAN-ATMOSPHERE MODEL OF SHALLOW WATER WAVE AND ITS NUMERICAL EXPERIMENTS

A global coupled air-sea model of shallow water wave is developed based on coupled ocean-atmospheredynamics.The coupling is realized through the air-sea interaction process that the atmosphere acts on theocean by wind stress and the ocean acts on the atmosphere with heating proportional to sea surface temperature(SST)anomaly.The equation is harotropic primitive one.Response experiments of coupling system arealso carried out SSTA in two categories of intensities.Compared with the results of AGCM simulation ex-periment in which only the dynamic change of air system is considered,it demonstrates that the air-seainteraction between the tropical ocean and the global atmosphere plays a very important role in the evolutionof climate system.The results of numerical simulation show that it is encouraging.     

THE IMPACT OF INITIAL FORCED WIND ON THE PREDICTABILITY OF THE ZEBIAK-CANE COUPLED OCEAN-ATMOSPHERE MODEL

With simultaneous observed sea surface temperature anomaly (SSTA), the difference between NCEP/NCAR 925hPa reanalysis wind stress anomaly (NCEPWSA) and FSU wind stress anomaly (FSUWSA) is analyzed, and the prediction abilities of Zebiak-Cane coupled ocean-atmosphere model (ZC coupled model) with NCEPWSA and FSUWSA serving respectively as initialization wind are compared. The results are as follows. The distribution feature of NCEPWSA matches better with that of the observed SSTA than counterpart of FSUWSA both in 1980s and in 1990s; The ZC ocean model has a better skill under the forcing of NCEPWSA than that of FSUWSA, especially in 1990s. Meanwhile, the forecast abilities of the ZC coupled model in 1990s as well as in 1980s have been improved employing NCEPWSA as initialization wind instead of FSUWSA. Particularly, it succeeded in predicting 1997/1998 El Ni?o 6 to 8 months ahead; further analysis shows that on the antecedent and onset stages of the 1997/1998 El Ni?o event, the horizontal cold and warm distribution characteristics of the simulated SSTA from ZC ocean model, with NCEPWSA forcing compared to FSUWSA forcing, match better with counterparts of the corresponding observed SSTA, whereby providing better predication initialization conditions for ZC coupled model, which, in turn, is favorable to improve the forecast ability of the coupled model.     

初始强迫风场对Zebiak-Cane海气耦合模式预报能力的影响研究

结合观测的海表温度距平（SSTA）对925hPa NCEP／NCAR再分析风应力距平（以下简称NCEP风应力距平）资料与FSU风应力距平资料进行了比较分析。对比分析了分别以NCEP、FSU风应力距平作为初始强迫风场时的Zebiak-Cane海气耦合模式（简称ZC耦合模式）的预报能力。结果表明：1980、1990年代NCEP风应力距平较FSU风应力距平与观测SSTA匹配更为合理。NCEP风应力距平不仅较FSU风应力距平对ZC海洋模式初始化效果好,尤其在1990年代更为显著,而且在1980、1990年代以NCEP风应力距平替代FSU风应力距平作为ZC耦合模式的初始强迫风场,都提高了该耦合模式预报能力,尤其是可提前6-8个月成功地预报出1997／1998年EI Nifio事件。进一步分析表明,在1997／1998年EI Nifio事件前兆、爆发阶段,NCEP风应力距平驱动海洋模式产生的SSTA比FSU风应力距平驱动海洋模式产生的SSTA更接近观测SSTA的水平冷、暖分布特征,这为ZC耦合模式提供了更为合理的预报初始强迫场,从而有利于提高其预报能力。     

华北地区汛期降水与热带西太平洋暖池和黑潮的关系

根据华北地区１８个代表站１９５１￣１９９６年月降水资料,利用对应分析法对该地区进行降水气候区的划分,并讨论了华北汛期降水与热带西太平洋暖池和黑潮热输送的关系。结果表明：华北地区可划分为两个降水气候区;华北１区汛期降水与热带西太平洋暖池西部热含量有密切的联系,特别是与前一年１０月热带西太平洋暖池西部热含量存在着明显的负相关关系;华北Ⅱ区汛期降水与同年冬季黑潮热输送有较密切的负相关关系。初步分析表明,     

THE EFFECTS OF TIBETAN PLATEAU ON THE ANOMALOUS VARIATION OF ASIAN MONSOON IN A COUPLED OCEAN-ATMOSPHERE SYSTEM

Experimental predictions with a hybrid coupled ocean-atmosphere model(L9R15 AGCM-ZCocean model)were performed for the 1986/87 El Nino event and the 1988/89 La Nina event withand without the Tibetan Plateau respectively(called TP FORC and NTP FORC hereinafter).Comparison shows that,to some extent,the existence of the Tibetan Plateau orography weakensor restrains(strengthens or facilitates)the formation of the anomalous circulation of Asianmonsoon during El Nino(La Nina)period.Opposite results are found in the uncoupled AGCMsimulation.     

A MODEL OF A COUPLED SEA-ATMOSPHERE-CLOUD CLIMATE SYSTEM*

In this paper,a coupled sea-atmosphere-cloud climatic model is set up.Qualitative analysis shows that the system exists at least in five possible equilibrium states,and not four as traditionally considered.Numerical simulation stated that when we do not consider the feedback of clouds the SST will raise 0.96 K and 0.97 K respectively as the concentrations of CO₂ rise from 280 ppm and 330 ppm to 560 ppm and 660 ppm.When we consider the feedback the SST rises only about 0.51 K under same conditions.So greenhouse effect of CO₂ is lessened in certain extent.
