地形对涡量传播和台风切向风速变化的参数敏感性

设计了一个高分辨率的浅水模式，以研究地形参数和纬向基流在涡旋Rossby波传播和台风切向风速变化中的作用。结果表明，无纬向基流条件下，岛屿地形的水平尺度对涡旋Rossby波传播的影响表现在：随地形水平方向尺度的增大，扰动涡度场环绕地形顺时针方向旋转的趋势增强，局域风速增幅减小，增强了平均风速的减弱。纬向东风基流条件下，热带气旋的局域风速及其平均切向风速的演变受台风与地形间距的改变以及地形作用时间长短的影响：当台风逐渐靠近地形时，局域风速增幅增强，平均风速逐渐减小；当台风逐渐远离地形时，出现相反的变化。     

涡旋Rossby波传播和台风切向风速变化的数值研究

设计了一个高分辨率f平面准地转正压涡度方程半谱模式，用以研究非线性对台风切向风速变化，以及不同初始异常条件下台风环流内涡旋Rossby波传播和台风切向风速变化特征。6类(14组)试验的数值结果表明：非线性使台风切向风速的增强减弱，可能使最大风速半径收缩。初始扰动中心位置对涡旋Rossby波传播和台风切向风速变化的影响明显。扰动中心在最大风速半径附近时，台风最大切向风速增强最多；异常中心在台风外区时，使最大切向风速减小。初始异常尺度(范围)减小对台风最大切向风速变化的影响减弱。双涡分布条件下，台风环流外区的涡旋使内区或近眼壁区对流涡旋对台风最大切向风速的影响减弱。     

Rossby参数β在涡旋Rossby波中的作用

利用尺度分析方法得到Rossby参数β在强涡旋中有着不可忽略的作用.在无基本气流径向切变的涡旋系统中,在Rossby参数β的作用下有涡旋Rossby波出现.由于涡旋Rossby波存在,从而破坏了涡旋系统的轴对称性,表现出非轴对称特征.在考虑切向基本气流的涡度径向变化时,涡旋Rossby波的频散关系同时包含了切向基本气流涡度径向切变项和β项的作用.一般情况下涡旋Rossby波在切向基本气流涡度径向切变的作用下有向外频散能量的特性,而β项的作用随方位角θ而变化,使涡旋能量频散不对称.     

斜压涡度的变化与台风暴雨的关系研究

台风暴雨作为台风引起的最主要灾害之一,一直被人们关注。台风常被认为是对称结构,但从实际状况来看台风的非对称性非常明显,所以有必要研究斜压性涡度在台风中的表现。在高分辨率数值模拟的基础上,通过引入斜压涡度的概念,分析和总结了斜压涡度在2009年台风“莫拉克”暴雨过程中的表现。通过模拟与分析得到如下的结果:斜压涡度和MPV对比,可以看出在登陆前和登陆后,明显低层斜压涡度有更强的异常信号,围绕台风内核呈现正负正的位相特点;从沿着台风中心时间剖面可以看出,登陆前斜压涡度低层多为负正负的位相,并且随着时间的推移,斜压涡度有从大气的高层向台风的移动中心传递的趋势,即在台风即将到达时原先的正涡度被替换为负涡度,所以对其移动有一定指示意义;在台风“莫拉克”过台湾岛时,其斜压涡度表现为负涡度消失,在山地附近有正涡度生成,完成过岛,台风中心被替换;斜压涡度的异常值主要位于大气的低层时,一般会产生较强的降水。      

台风涡旋的结构及其与台风运动的关系

用ＦＳＵ区域模式讨论台风涡旋结构及其与运动的关系，台风涡旋的运动在无基本环流和β平面条件下取决于轴不对称环流。而不对称环流的发展源自于从对称环流动能的转换。其率取决对称环流，不对称环流和地球涡度经向梯度三者的相互作用。由于不对称环流动能产生率随高度不变，故台风作为一个统一体以相同的移速移动。不对称环流的径向结构取决于对称环流的径向结构。     

SENSITIVITY OF LANDFALLING TYPHOON STRUCTURE AND PRECIPITATION TO VARYING CLOUD MICROPHYSICAL PROCESSES

Typhoon KROSA in 2007 is simulated using GRAPES, a mesoscale numerical model, in which a two-parameter mixed-phase microphysics scheme is implanted. A series of numerical experiments are designed to test the sensitivity of landfalling typhoon structure and precipitation to varying cloud microphysics and latent heat release. It is found that typhoon track is sensitive to different microphysical processes and latent heat release. The cloud structures of simulated cyclones can be quite different with that of varying microphysical processes. Graupel particles play an important role in the formation of local heavy rainfall and the maintenance of spiral rainbands. Analysis reveals that the feedback of latent heat to dynamic fields can significantly change the content and distribution of cloud hydrometeors, thus having an impact on surface precipitation.     

THE THEORY OF MOIST POTENTIAL VORTICITY AND ITS APPLICATION IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF TYPHOON RAINFALL AND INTENSITY

This paper tests the impacts of cloud-induced mass forcing on the moist potential vorticity(MPV) anomaly associated with torrential rains caused by Typhoon No.9914 (Dan) by using fine modelsimulation data outputted by the Fifth-Generation NCAR / Penn State Mesoscale Model (MM5). Thediagnostic results show that the positive MPV anomaly region, which is obtained by integrating the MPVfrom 600 hPa to 300 hPa in the vertical, roughly coincides with the precipitation at their synchronousstages either in position or in the distribution pattern, and the maximum positive MPV area of Dan islocated mainly between 600 hPa and 300 hPa, which is much higher than torrential rain cases. Furtheranalyses also showed that the value of positive MPV anomaly increased or decreased with the developmentof Dan, and the positive MPV anomaly may also be served as a tracer to indicate the evolution of tropicalcyclone intensity.     

THE EFFECTS OF THE PLATEAU'S TOPOGRAPHIC GRADIENT ON ROSSBY WAVES AND ITS NUMERICAL SIMULATION

By using barotropic model equations, this article analyzed the characteristics of Rossby waves, the propagation features of wave energy and the influence of dynamic and thermal effects of the Tibetan Plateau on Rossby waves, and the focus is on discussing the plateau's topographic gradient effects on atmospheric Rossby waves. Then based on the WRF3.2 and the NCEP/NCAR FNL reanalysis data, we devised comparative tests of changing the plateau's topographic gradient and simulated a process of persistent heavy rain that happened in May 2010 in South China. The results are shown as follows. The Tibetan Plateau’s topography is conducive to the formation of atmospheric Rossby waves. while the plateau's terrain, its friction and heating effects can all make the atmospheric Rossby waves develop into the planetary waves; The effects of plateau's north and south slopes on the Rossby wave’ phase velocity is opposite, and when the slope reached a certain value can the quasi-steady normal fluctuations be generated; Simultaneously, due to the plateau's topographic gradient, descending motion appears at the west side of the plateau while ascending motion appears at the east side, and the vertical movement increased with the amplification of topographic gradients. The plateau's topographic gradient also obviously amplified the precipitation in South China, and the rainfall area increased with the amplification of topographic gradients and gradually moved from south to north and from west to east, which is conducive to the occurrence and development of convective activities in the downstream areas of the Tibetan Plateau; Moreover, for the plateau’s dynamic and thermal effects, the Rossby wave’ propagation shows upstream effects of energy dispersion, so the plateau can then affect the weather in downstream areas. Moreover, the wave group velocity increased with the degree of topographic slope.     

环流非对称结构与台风移速关系的数值研究

利用准地转正压模式,在无环境气流的情况下,对初始轴对称和非轴对称理想台风实施两组共13个数值试验,研究台风环流不同区域的非对称性与其移速的关系。结果表明：（1）台风环流某些区域的非对称性与其移速有稳定的强相关,如,大风半径外围50～100KM附近东—西向东北—西南向的非对称性;（2）大风半径的位角,使台风外围环流的非对称性与其移速相关增强,而最大风速和初始非对称方位用的变化对上述相关性几乎没有影响。

PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS ON THE INTENSITY AND STRUCTURE OF TYPHOON MORAKOT (2009) DURING ITS LANDING PROCESS

NCEP GFS(Global Forecast System)analytical data(available 4 times per day),satellite cloud image data and real-time observations of path and intensity of Typhoon Morakot are employed to investigate the variation of synoptic dynamics in its intensity and structure before and after the landing.This study intends to offer some hints for the forecast of intensity and structure of typhoons.Results show that in the tangential direction,the averaged asymmetry amplitude of wind on the radius of a large-value center of the low-level wind can be used as an important parameter for diagnosing the intensity of typhoons.Besides,the maximum of the upper dry potential vorticity in Morakot’s center tends to extend downward along the intensive gradient of tangential wind situated on the inner side of a large-value center of the low-level tangential wind.Additionally,the radial advection of the tangential wind determines the variation of tangential wind in conjunction with the vertical transmission of the tangential wind,the inertial centrifugal force and the Coriolis force.These four items are dominant in the motion equation of tangential wind based on a cylindrical coordinate without the effects of friction and turbulence.Moreover,the low-level convergence center of the typhoon has a tendency of shifting and developing along the intensive gradient of the tangential wind in the tangential direction.

IMPACTS OF UPPER-LEVEL COLD VORTEX ON THE RAPID CHANGE OF INTENSITY AND MOTION OF TYPHOON MERANTI (2010)

Typhoon Meranti originated over the western North Pacific off the south tip of the Taiwan Island in 2010.It moved westward entering the South China Sea,then abruptly turned north into the Taiwan Strait,got intensified on its way northward,and eventually made landfall on Fujian province.In its evolution,there was a northwest-moving cold vortex in upper troposphere to the south of the Subtropical High over the western North Pacific(hereafter referred to as the Subtropical High).In this paper,the possible impacts of this cold vortex on Meranti in terms of its track and intensity variation is investigated using typhoon best track data from China Meteorological Administration,analyses data of 0.5×0.5 degree provided by the global forecasting system of National Centers for Environmental Prediction,GMS satellite imagery and Taiwan radar data.Results show as follows:(1)The upper-level cold vortex was revolving around the typhoon anticlockwise from its east to its north.In the early stage,due to the blocking of the cold vortex,the role of the Subtropical High to steer Meranti was weakened,which results in the looping of the west-moving typhoon.However,when Meranti was coupled with the cold vortex in meridional direction,the northerly wind changed to the southerly at the upper level of the typhoon;at the same time the Subtropical High protruded westward and its southbound steering flow gained strength,and eventually created an environment in which the southerly winds in both upper and lower troposphere suddenly steered Meranti to the north;(2)The change of airflow direction above the typhoon led to a weak vertical wind shear,which in return facilitated the development of Meranti.Meanwhile,to the east of typhoon Meranti,the overlapped southwesterly jets in upper and lower atmosphere accelerated its tangential wind and contributed to its cyclonic development;(3)The cold vortex not only supplied positive vorticity to the typhoon,but also transported cold advection to its outer bands.In conjunction with the warm and moist air masses at the lower levels,the cold vortex increased the vertical instability in the atmosphere,which was favorable for convection development within the typhoon circulation,and its warmer center was enhanced through latent heat release;(4)Vertical vorticity budget averaged over the typhoon area further shows that the intensification of a typhoon vorticity column mainly depends on horizontal advection of its high-level vorticity,low-level convergence,uneven wind field distribution and its convective activities.

长波辐射对大气变化的敏感性和在WRF模式中的应用检验

用RRTM长波辐射 (LWR)参数化方案测试了LWR对大气变化的敏感性。结果表明 :高云对向外长波辐射(OLR)、30 0和 5 0 0hPa净LWR通量的减弱作用较中、低云大 ;低云对 85 0hPa和地表净LWR通量的减弱作用较中、高云大。在云层中 ,LWR冷却率受云影响最大 ;在云层下方 ,云对LWR的影响迅速减小 ;而在云层上方 ,冷却率几乎不受云的影响。当水汽含量减少或增加时 ,地表向下LWR受到相应减弱或增强 ,而净LWR则在一定程度上受到相应增强或减弱 ,并且越接近地面 ,受到水汽变化的影响就越大。O3 对LWR的影响相对云和水汽来说是比较小的。文中介绍了在WRF模式中应用RRTM方案预报LWR不同季节的 2个个例 ,给出了应用NCEP/AVN分析资料预报和验证中国范围 2d之内LWR通量的模拟结果。试验表明 ,OLR和 5 0 0hPa净LWR通量与高度形势场有较好的对应关系 ,而地表净LWR很大程度上还受到地形的影响。
