A NUMERICAL EXPERIMENT OF THE MONSOON CIRCULATION INFLUENCED BY THE ATMOSPHERIC HEAT SOURCE AND ITS MEDIUM-RANGE OSCILLATION

In this paper, a two-dimensional five-layer primitive equation (P. E.) model is used for numerical experiment with regard to the monsoon circulation influenced by the atmospheric heat sources and their medium-range oscillation. It is concluded that both the single heating source and the double heating centers can excite a monsoon circulation or a Walker circulation, that the change of vertical heating profile can influence the thickness of the monsoon cell, that the cooling sources over the Arabian Peninsula and the Mid-Pacific play an important role in forming a monsoon circulation, that the heating sources over the Bay of Bengal and the South China Sea and its medium-range oscillation are the main mechanism forming the monsoon circulation, and that a strengthened source might intensify a monsoon circulation while reducing its extent, conversely, the results would be opposite, so the effects of the two heat centers interact with each other.     

The Characteristics of 30-60 Day Oscillation and Its Relations to the Interannual Oscillations

The characteristics of 30-60 day oscillation (hereafter called LFO ) of the outgoing longwave radiation data (OLR) and its relations to the interannual oscillations of the sea surface temperature (SST) are investigated by using the daily OLR data for the period from January, 1979 to December, 1987 and the corresponding monthly SST data. It is found that the LFO the band the interannual oscillations of the SST monthly anomaly (SSTA) interact each other and they all relate to the occurrence and development of El Nino events closely. Before El Nino event happens, it contributes to the SST's wanning up and to the SST's quasi-biennial oscillation (called QBO for brevity) and three and half years oscillation (called SO for short) being in warm water phase in the equatorial central and eastern Pacific (ECP and EEP) that the LFO in the equatorial western Pacific (EWP) enhances and propagates eastward; When El Nino event takes place, the LFO, SSTA and SSTA's QBO and SO in the EEP interact and strengthen each oth     

我国近海热带气旋强度突变的气候特征分析

利用２．５×２．５格距的风场及气压资料,计算分析９０１２号热带气旋登陆后维持６５小时不消的各标准时次的角动量收支。得到的结果是：９０１２号热带气旋登陆后,进入一个相对稳定的鞍型场的中心,低层有西南风急流将大量潮湿空气卷入热带气旋,为其提供充足的潜热能,北侧弱冷空气的侵入,为其提供了斜压能量;而对流层上部气旋４°－８°半径上的地转角动量的涡旋输送及β项产生的气旋角动量的输入,则是气旋中心气压和最大风速维持的直接因素。     

A STUDY ON THE CHARACTERISTICS AND EFFECT OF THE LOW-FREQUENCY OSCILLATION OF THE ATMOSPHERIC HEAT SOURCE OVER THE EASTERN TIBETAN PLATEAU

There has been a lot of discussion about the atmospheric heat source over the Tibetan Plateau （TP） and the low-frequency oscillation of atmospheric circulation. However, the research on low-frequency oscillation of heat source over TP and its impact on atmospheric circulation are not fully carried out. By using the vertically integrated apparent heat source which is calculated by the derivation method, main oscillation periods and propagation features of the summer apparent heat source over the eastern TP （Q1ETP） are diagnosed and analyzed from 1981 to 2000. The results are as follows： （1） Summer Q1ETP has two significant oscillation periods： one is 10-20d （BWO, Quasi-Biweekly Oscillation） and the other is 30-60d （LFO, Low-frequency Oscillation）. （2） A significant correlation is found between Q1ETP and rainfall over the eastern TP in 1985 and 1992, showing that the low-frequency oscillation of heat source is likely to be stimulated by oscillation of latent heat. （3） The oscillation of heat source on the plateau mainly generates locally but sometimes originates from elsewhere. The BWO of Q1ETP mainly exhibits stationary wave, sometimes moves out （mainly eastward）, and has a close relationship with the BWO from the Bay of Bengal. Showing the same characteristics as BWO, the LFO mainly shows local oscillation, occasionally propagates （mainly westward）, and connects with the LFO from East China. In summary, more attention should be paid to the study on BWO of Q1ETP.

利用NCEP/NCAR逐日再分析资料及长江中下游降水资料, 诊断和分析了长江中下游地区旱年1978年、涝年1999年青藏高原东部大气热源与降水季节内振荡的关系, 并着重讨论了青藏高原低频热力过程的经、纬向传播, 结果表明:1978年夏季青藏高原东部大气热源存在10~20 d周期为主的振荡, 交叉谱分析表明:青藏高原东部热源与长江中下游降水在10~20 d频段存在显著相关, 且青藏高原激发的周期为10~20 d的低频振荡热源在纬向上呈现出驻波形式; 1999年夏季青藏高原东部热源存在30~60 d周期为主的振荡, 热源与长江中下游降水在30~60 d频段存在显著相关。     

温室气体、海表面温度、太阳常数及火山活动对中国地表气温影响之初探

利用全球大气环流模式CAM3.1,对近百年温室气体浓度、全球海表面温度、太阳常数的变化以及火山活动对我国地表气温所产生的影响进行了研究。全球海表面温度的升高及温室气体浓度的增加是导致中国年平均地表气温升高的部分因素。近百年我国年平均地表气温主要经历了两次年代际振荡并逐渐增温。第一次振荡的冷期为1910年代,随后变暖,1940年代达暖峰期。第二次振荡冷期发生于1950~1960年代,随后变暖,暖峰期发生在1990年代。太阳常数和全球海表面温度的两次振荡是造成这两次振荡主要因素,气温、太阳常数和全球海表面温度均发生了准60年周期的年代际振荡,气温振荡的位相落后于太阳常数和全球海表面温度的位相。20世纪20年代以前及60年代以后火山活动的活跃是导致1910年代和1960~1980年代出现冷期的原因之一。

CLIMATIC FEATURES OF SEA TEMPERATURE OF WARM POOL AND RELATIONSHIP WITH SST OF ITS ADJACENT REGIONS

In this paper,climatic features of sea temperature of western Pacific warm pool and therelationship with sea surface temperature (SST) of its adjacent regions are analyzed based on theobserved sea temperature on vertical cross section along 137°E in western Pacific,the monthlymean SST of Xisha Station in South China Sea and the global monthly mean SST with resolution of1°×1°(U.K./GISST2.2).The results indicate that (1) in a sense of correlation.SST of westernPacific warm pool can represent its sea subsurface temperature from surface to 200 m-depth level inwinter,and it can only represent sea temperature from surface to 70 m depth in summer.The seasubsurface temperature anomaly of warm pool may be more suitable for representing thermalregime of western Pacific warm pool.The sea subsurface temperature of warm pool has acharacteristic of quasi-biennial oscillation.(2)Warm pool and Kuroshio current are subject todifferent ocean current systems (3)Furthermore,the relationship between SST of Xisha Stationand SST of warm pool has a characteristic of negative correlation in winter and positive correlationin summer,and a better lag negative correlation of SST of Xisha Station with sea subsurfacetemperature of warm pool exists.(4)Additionally,oscillation structure of sea temperature like “aseesaw” exists in between warm pool and Regions Nino3 and Nino4.January (June) maximum(minimum) sea subsurface temperature anomaly of warm pool may serve as a strong signal thatindicates maturity phase (development phase) of La Nina (El Nino) event,it also acts as a strongsignal which reveals variations of SST of Regions Nino3 and Nino4.
